Title: Excellent for the C++ programmer who wants to learn NT/MFC.
Product review: This book represents an exemplary survey for the C++ programmer on how to develop for Windows NT. It starts with an excellent survey of NT architecture then proceeds with several chapters on an overview of the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). The strength of this work is that each chapter is succinct and relatively complete. Since MFC is so rich with features, it is extremely difficult for a programmer coming from another environment (i.e. UNIX) to see the NT landscape. This book is outstanding in this regard. After going over a chapter in this book, one can approach the Microsoft documentation without feeling intimidated.
