Title: this is what I needed
Review: I've read through web pages and looked at the help files and source code, then it was time to get a book. Glad I made this book my choice, since it pretty much made me an excellent programmer. Is it for newbies? Newbies in windows programming? Yes, I didn't have much of experience in windows API, but managed to move along pretty smoothly with this book. Newbies in programming in general? probably not, unless u have solid C/C++ skills (then I guess you're not a newbie :) ), but I'm sure the book will be waiting for you... For MFC development, this IS the book.
