Yes and no. They occasionally change the argument/parameter order in a method (i.e. CRegKey changed between 6.0 and 2003) but for the most part, the overall approach tends to change little. Ivor Horton has hardly changed his "Beginning Visual C++" books over the years since the basics have not changed all that much. However, I don't think I've ever been able to compile an MFC application with a newer version of Visual Studio without needing to change a few things such as the project VC++ Directories, minor shifts in the header files, etc... ATL has changed a bit over the years and a few things have been left out in newer versions of Visual C++ so that tends to be the most painful part if you utilize any ATL.
