title: Where can I get afx...h files?
body: <p>I'm developing with an API and the API requires the <code>afxsock.h</code> among other <code>afx...</code> headers. After searching online, it seems that my VS Express isn't enough, so I looked to purchase the product at microsoft. Unfortunately it's 700$ and as a beginning programmer, it makes no sense for me to drop that on 1 project which I am using to teach myself c++. (I.e. I still don't know if I want to program long term in C++ or another language).</p>
  
  <p>In any case, I was wondering if there was some sort of work around to get the <code>afx</code> (or more appropriately the <code>MFC</code>) files?</p>
  
  <p>Note that I have Windows 8, Visual Studio 2012, and I've downloaded the Windows Development Kit for Windows 8, but still can't compile because I'm getting missing <code>afx</code> errors.</p>
