Book for people moving from unix/x-windows to MFC

This is a exteremly good book. I liked his approach of explaining every thing from DOS and unix perspective and connecting to Win32 and MFC. I am a dos and x-windowsprogrammer. I did not got a chance to working in any win32 programming. Now likemost of others forced into the wintel world. This book gives excellent insight ofwin32 and MFC. The examples are very good. Another interesting thing is his approach to the class wizard. I have tried to useclass wizard before reading the book. I hated class wizard. I like toknow the every line in my program. I would prefer to type it myself. This book startswith the concept of typing the code and slowing moves into class wizard. This books explains want exactly class wizard does. It made me really comfortable with class wizard.

Excellent book!

I haven't even finished this book yet, but it's excellent. It teaches you MFC without using the AppWizards and, in the appendix, with them. It's very indepth. The only downside to the book is that it's written exclusively for VC++, but that's what I liked about it. While other books on MFC I have concentrated on MFC coding, leaving you to figure out how to get resources working, etc., this book shows you step by step how to get it done, preventing you from getting lost. I have since switched to reading this book on MFC!

GREAT BOOK

A really great book that starts you off without using the wizards so that you can better understand what the wizards are doing for you.

One of the better MFC books out there

This is one of the better MFC books I've read plus you can keep going back to it as a reference. The whole book is in PDF format on the CD that comes with it.

Fabulous coverage of MFC!

This book gives tons of examples for everything from the simplest components to the most complex classes, with detailed explanations of each example. This book even gives example code for really professional touches to programs (for example, splash screens). If you have a basic undertanding of C++, this is a good place to get started with MFC. If you have a good handle on C++, this book becomes an invaluable reference and guide through MFC. It even covers some of the VC++ compiler features and how to exploit the compiler to be even more productive. This book is a must-have
