Broadly speaking: ext/$1/*.c <--- extension code, where $1 is the extension name (roughly). zend_module_entry is the "start point" that everything else bubbles out from. All the zend_*() APIs are in Zend/ and (most) of the others are in main/ You can follow repos like https://github.com/sgolemon/2016-sfmeetup which are concept-by-concept walkthroughs of the most essential basics. Focus on extensions to start, once you're comfortable with those, you can move confidently onto the scripting engine, sapis, etc...
