MFC Programming from the Ground Up

Rating:
Summary: Were to Start
Review: This is the book you should start with in understanding MFC. It goes over in some detail the basics. The book doen't use the AppWizard and even the doc/view architecture but it's O.K. if your just learning. This book is really a transition from C++ programing using the main function and a move into the understanding of why MFC works the way it does. I have to admit that the lack of use of AppWizard (which is really quite helpful) hinders you to some extent later on because, here ,you have to manually enter DDX and message handlers which you don't really have to do but it is a good learning experience (if you try adding DDX code the same way with appWizard you may find it difficult). However, that isn't a concern here. A good book to learn the basics.
