What is...
-
the best book(for a beginner) on MFC? I'm finally taking that plunge and getting a thorough book on it instead of trying to take the trial and error route.
-
Programming Windows with MFC Second Edition by Jeff Prosise.
Kicking, squealing Gucci little piggy.
True! I have the first edition and think the second will rock ;P After Jeff's book, spend more time on CP - you will hardly need other books beside the MFC source codes and articles here! Best regards, Paul. Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.

You are the intrepid one, always willing to leap into the fray! A serious character flaw, I might add, but entertaining. Said by Roger Wright about me.

I have two, so ok, it's a fair cop, guv, I'm obviously not a natural programmer. Just don't tell my boss as he thinks I'm quite good at it ;) MFC Programming from the ground up (Herbert Schildt), which is pretty independent of visual studio - no wizards etc. and Professional MFC by Mike Blaszczak (Wrox), which approaches it assuming you *are* going to be using VS wizards.

So true, so true :-D Cheers,Joao Vaz And if your dream is to care for your family, to put food on the table, to provide them with an education and a good home, then maybe suffering through an endless, pointless, boring job will seem to have purpose. And you will realize how even a rock can change the world, simply by remaining obstinately stationary.-Shog9 Remember just because a good thing comes to an end, doesn't mean that the next one can't be better.-Chris Meech

Programming Windows 95 with MFC by Jeff Prosise. It's been updated but it (for me) was brilliant. cheers, Chris Maunder

...followed by MFC Internals (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201407213/qid=1036598951/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/104-7356142-8171164?v=glance&s=books&n=507846[^]) if you're already familiar with straight C API programming and wanna know exactly how MFC works. It was a great eye-opener for me.
