Rating:  Summary: MFC Answer Book is a WINNER !!! Review: Eugene, I cannot thank you enough for writing the "MFC Answer Book". As a Visual C++ programmer with 10 plus years experience, it's great to see a book as unique as this one. It saves my life at least 3 times a day and has saved me countless hours of development time. The format is excellent and not only helps me out with my projects but it is an incredible learning reference that is easily understood. thanks again... p.s. One request. Write more books
Rating:  Summary: A must to have for every MFC developer Review: this book really helped me a lot. I also contacted E Kain for some diffuculties and he responded the very next day. I feel every MFC developer is incomplete without this book by his side.Eagerly awaiting the future editions of this title
Rating:  Summary: THIS BOOK RULES Review: This book rocks at every topic discussed.... NEED MORE...NEED MORE...
Rating:  Summary: This is a excellent book! Review: I've been programming with Microsoft Visual C++ since version 1.5. This is the best MFC book out there. Mr. Kain covers topics that I spent weeks trying to figure out, digging through MFC source code and the MSDN library. Take it from someone who has climbed the MFC learning curve, you need this book! I just wish I had this book when I started MFC programming. I can't wait for the sequel.
Rating:  Summary: Excellent resource on day to day MFC problems Review: I have been using this book for last 3 months. The first three chapters explaining the fundamentals of Document/View architecture are realy worth reading. The concepts have been presented in a very simple and professional manner. The other chapters have also been presented pretty nively and with deatils on how things work under the hood. The book has been of great help to me in understanding some of the MFC stuff which i could not get from other books. This book has complemented "MFC Internals". I would say... Go Get It Tiger!
Rating:  Summary: I'm new to MFC, I've been using it as a reference every week Review: As someone new to MFC, I find that the book is the perfect format to allow me to look up a topic within MFC that I would like to implement, but one in which I do not have any experience yet. I've already saved hours by using the information in chapters 5 (Property Sheets) and 6 (Toolbars and Status Bars). My only hope is that there is a 2nd edition that would add more chapters to answer questions concerning topics such as sockets, multi-threading, databases, etc. It would also be great if Mr. Kain could cover examples of how you add functionality to a project that did not include the functionality when the project was created (ex: database support to a project that was created without database support).
Rating:  Summary: Excellent for beginners and pros alike Review: Simply put, this a deeply thought-through book. Mr Kain has put himself in the place of the programmer, and has unerringly placed his finger on the common problem spots. I am a beginner, and I was helped greatly by this book. It is definitely the best I have found for conquering the learning curve.
Rating:  Summary: This Book picks up where the others leave you off Review: When you're finished with the books that keep telling you about elementary C++ and rudimentary MFC concepts you'll need a book that will tell you exactly how to do the neat little things that aren't fairly evident in all those Bible sized paperweights. This one is it. I bought this book initially to help me solve a problem and wound up redesigning the interface to my project based on the techniques I learned in it. It is well written and accurately targeted. To this day the author has proved to me to be one of the most helpful and knowledgeable resources on the subject. I refused to be reimbursed by my company for the cost off this book because this one I intend not to leave behind.
Rating:  Summary: Why don't you buy this book? Review: just the best, there is no words for this book than this
Rating:  Summary: Different format and excellent! Review: I read a lot of reviews on these books, but I always wonder about the people that write them. Their age, programming experience, how many books they own, etc. I am 43, 10 years of Basic (DOS), Visual Basic, Pascal (DOS), Delphi, C++ (DOS), and Visual C++. I own well over 200 programming books. Now, this books format is different but excellent. The contents are question format, like "How do I get a pointer to the active window?" This book has information you will not easily, if at all, find anywhere else. It is one of the best books I own. I just wish now that he would write one that does not do MFC specifically. Maybe "The Visual C++ Answer Book."
