Summary: Best Book for Experienced Unix Programmers to Learn MFC
Review: After searching for 3-4 years for the right book to learn MFC and Windows programming, I finally found it. Laura Draxler, you are a goddess for writing this very intelligent guide for experienced programmers to learn MFC and Windows programming. I hope you and Prentice Hall will extend a revise the book to cover advanced topics such as COM+. One of the real complaints I've had about other Windows programming books is they never made the connection between MFC and the underlying Windows architecture. This book is the RARE exception. Written for experienced programmers, it takes the reader from the basics of the Visual Studio tool suite, through most of the MFC controls, up to DLL's. Contains great illustrations and excellently documented code fragments.

Summary: Still the best book on MFC!
Review: Best choice for those who want to learn MFC without missing the understanding of Windows! If you looked at hundreds of books on MFC and find it hard to pick the right one, read this book, it will prove to be most effective! I read it twice and I keep going back to it, especially when I have difficulties with MFC documentations. Code samples in this book are ready to use in your software and save time. Finally, this book is not too huge! It contains only necessary information and keeps the reader interested. Now, when Visual C++ 6.0 is out, all of the information in this book is still relevant since MFC hasn't really changed with this new release.

Summary: Remove the mystery from Visual C++!
Review: I have read all the popular books on MFC and C++. They all make assumptions that you understand the underpinnings of the environment. This book goes into explaining not only the most commonly used features of MFC with much clarity, but also explains numerous other details such as the use of .lib files and their role in conjunction with dll's. 'THE' MFC book!

Summary: My book is for those who need to know MFC under the hood!
Review: I wrote this book for the experienced programmer who is ready to understand how Windows works beneath MFC, in order to develop full-featured MFC applications. My book is intended to jump-start your Windows MFC development by combining the contents of other MFC books in more depth and the traditional Windows API books. My ActiveX and OLE chapter concludes the book by giving you a foundation in this ever-expanding technology and the reasons that you would want to use this technology. My book was written for upwards compatibility with future versions of Windows, MFC, and Visual C++. Even though these products will evolve over time, this book will continue to be a starting point for new developers in MFC and Windows, covering the most important programming concepts for this environment.
