Summary: Not the alpha and omega, but a reasonable alpha.
Comment: My new job required me to write a feature rich MFC application with no previous Windows programming experience. I got this book after having a fantastic expirence with Sam's "Teach Yourself HTML 4.0 in 24 Hours" a few years ago. It simply covers MFC architecture and introduces a wide range of topics including doument/view, printing, Multiple Document Interface and UI topics, and creating DLLS and wizards.

This book might not be the only book you'll need, but it helped to smooth out the VERY steep MFC learning curve for me. Between this and the comprehensive documentation that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio, you should be able to start banging out feature rich MFC programs after a few hours of honest, dedicated effort.

Summary: for reading only...
Comment: I bought this book last September 1999. This book covers almost all area of MFC programming and is really good for just giving you the very basic idea. Once you start doing programs this is highly not recommended and will just waste your time.

Summary: Not teach you MFC in 24 hours
Comment: You will not learn MFC from this book in 24 hours, even in 24 days. I thought this book will be easy for you to read to grap basic skill about MFC. After I strugled more than 24 hours with this book, I realize that this book just explain some Wizard-generated code, neither teach you the structure of FMC nor write your own code using MFC.

I can understand other VC MFC books before reading this book, this book suppose be easier to read, but still confuses me.

So, I give 2 stars because it's not very expansive, but wastes my time.
