Summary: An excellent reference of the MFC Classes.
Review: If you need a reference but not a tutorial this is the book for you.The first 64 pages talk about C++ and the Developer Studio. The next 1100 pages are MFC Classes, listed according to usage with a nice index to get you directly to any method of any class. The remainder of this book lists all of the flags and defined values in MFC, error codes, and word/term definitions. This is a truly excellent replacement for the online MFC reference. The full book is in HTML on the included CD-ROM.

Summary: It won't help you when you really need!!
Review: Most of the MFC classes were well addressed, but you can always find more useful info from the on-line search of Visual C++ for the same topic. Windows API functions were left out, so you won't fine any directions for such functions as SetDIBits(), GlobalAlloc(), etc. As a progrmmer's reference, pages of introduction to C++/Visual C++ in the beginning of the book are superficial, while the introduction of each chapter to the class is too brief to be useful. Furthermore, unless you know the class a member function beloings to, it would be a tiring search process to get help from this book. Talking about the accompanying CD. It's nothing more than an on-line version of the book. You won't find the real search capability, as mentioned by the author. Maybe because this book is kind of outdated, many links are broken.
