Title: Also shows you what is underneath MFC
Review: Unlike some other reviewers I do not find it problematic that this book covers quite a number of different subjects. It has nearly 1000 pages so it has room enough! I found that the examples were short, consice and usually very illustrative. The code snippets were easy to set up/copy and this made me type in quite a few of them!What I liked especially, and what is seldomly found in other books of this nature is that the started the book with creating Windows programs from scratch without using MFC. And a lot of times when introducing new MFC- concepts MFC-threads, MFC-Internet classes, the author first shows us the "Core Windows way" of doing things.Mainly because the authors ability to explain what happens underneath I feel this book is worth reading.I really loved writing windows-NT services in plain c++ - Without a single component!Terje
