Title: Good IF you want a superficial review of a LOT of topics
Review: First, let me note that the book is about 1000 pages long, and has 53 chapters. What does this mean? It means the author has talked about a LOT of topics, but as superficially as possible. I read this book and thought MFC was extremely complicated. I thought windows programming was extremely complicated. I thought I was stupid for not understanding it! But the author made one (and only one) good point. He said that one should understand the Windows API before starting MFC. I read the reviews of Petzold's _Programming Windows 95_ and bought it. It is the best book I have ever read on the topic, and is so clear and easy to understand. Another good book that is specifically about MFC is _Programming Windows 95 with MFC_ by Prosise. I think Petzold is better, though. :)A word to the wise: be wary of books that have the name of a compiler in the title. I learned this the hard way!!
