Summary: Incredible MFC Programming Book!!!
Review: I tried about every book available, trying to learn how to do C++ windows programming and just could not get it. Then I bought this book just in case it might help. Help?-I was writing short windows programs in 2 weeks, and covered the book and windows programming using MFC in 4 months, on my own! If you know the basic C++ language up through classes objects and inheritance, then this is the easiest way to learn to write windows programs! I am a conservative person, didn't expect much, but this book just blew me away. It makes a difficult subject quite easy and definitely understandable. There are a few typos in the book, but the code in the book and on the CD provided with the book, is all clean.

Summary: Beautiful book
Review: This book was perfect for me. I have been doing C++ for awhile now, and was getting a little bored with the stupid DOS screens. This book holds your hand every step of the way with screen shots and the whole works. It leaves out no details. For instance, on page one, when you get to begin creating your first console application, it tells you to click File->New, and it even has a screen shot. You can't get lost!

Summary: Very Decent for MFC Beginner
Review: If you know C++ and want to learn MFC fundamentals, this books is for you. Good and concise, though a few misprints but that's ok, you can live with it.I wish it were longer, a couple more chapters giving overview on DDX, DDV, ActiveX and COM. Otherwise, I would've given a 5 stars.

Summary: Good for beginners.
Review: I've been doing C++ for a while now, but just started MFC. This book is my first attempt, in fact, and it has been nothing but helpful. It's easy to understand and very informative. I'm only on chapter 5 and I already love it. (I almost want to say it's fast paced and action packed.) It's got some typos though, but hey, who doesn't, right? Good book.

Summary: Too simple
Review: The book is extremely basic, consistently using code that is generated from the VC wizards. It is not overtly useful if you are trying to do anything complicated or have any decent MFC experience. If you know NOTHING, then this book may be an appropriate starter.

Summary: This book rules!!
Review: If you have done a foundation course in C++ and want to learn how to tame MFC then this is the book for you. The author sticks to his promises in the preface and even if your grasp of OOP is not that solid you will find yourself enjoying reading this book. Unlike most authors out there, Jones takes the trouble to explain the small things without getting bogged in superfluous detail. I think this is currently the best buy for anyone who knows C++ and wants to move on to MFC. Its a solid no-nonsense introduction for anyone interested in true MFC mastery.

Summary: I thought it couldn't be done!!
Review: I have bookshelves full of badly written texts on programming. Finally, I find an author who seems to remember the difficulties he had in approaching the subject and who takes care to get the reader over them. Excellent text, but a pity about the very poor quality cover which is folding and peeling despite my best efforts to preserve it.

Summary: A Superb Tutorial!
Review: Simply put, this is the best tutorial for programming that I've read, and I have read quite a few. The code examples are mixed with just the right amount of text and figures to give the reader a clear understanding of how MFC/C++ works under the hood. I will be on the lookout for other books written by this author.

Summary: Truly Outstanding
Review: When you will read this book, you will understand that all the other one thousand pager on windows will be good to startup your wood fire during the winter. Great pedagogy, great size (less than 300 pages like any other science books!), in a word, great intelligence of someone who understand that Windows is a very powerful mess. He therefore takes extra care to organize the pace and contents of his lectures. Thumbs up, 10 stars!!!
