Summary: deep, but too much
Review: I felt this book did a poor introduction to mfc. The topics explain basic concepts way too deeply leaving the reader grasping for air, and struggling to find the end of each chapter.
What is needed are more abstract presentations of why different structures are useful. Too much is implied by the writer to the reader, which leads to never ending long sentences of ways of understanding things. Why must writers present such topics in such deep, and complex ways doesnt surprise me anymore. However, this book could certainly be useful to the advanced audience, it still presents information in an overstated complex form which causes too much page flipping and brain pain. I am sure that prosise is a smart guy, seeing as he tries to cover every nook of mfc. Maybe for you this book will be helpful, but definately not if you are in any way a beginner with c++ or somebody who does not like too many details before understanding the big picture. This book is collecting dust on myshelf. I developed one MFC application after spending weeks torturing myself reading it.

Summary: excellent book
Review: If you want to be one MFC programmer, I strongly recommend this book to you. Prosise simplifies the complex MFC into a easy-understand form. I really like his writing style: concise, clear.
prosise avoided wizard to teach MFC,He write the sample program from scratch. I think it will give you a good understanding of MFC internal mechanism, make you not only know how to write code, but also actually know why ? I bieleive the good programmer must understand "why" , not "how". If you really want to be a good programmer ,don't hesitate! go to buy it ,then reading carefully.
