Summary: Great Book- Not a C++ Tutorial
Comment: This is a great book for expierenced programmers who want to program for windows but don't want to have to memorize 100s of API calls. It is also a great reference on MFC 6.0 programming. Before this book I was clueless on the majority of how Windows worked and this book helped clear the cobbwebs. I especially liked the chapter on explaining how the Graphical Device Interface worked and how to use it.
However, the reason I gave the book 4 stars instead of 5, is because of the fair amount of errors int the text and in the example code. I also found that finding the errors and pointing them out to myself helped further my understanding of the subject in general.
In order to be able read and understand this book, you should have a fairly good understanding of C++ and how computers work(generaly). Enough that you can write fairly complex programs. You should also (of course) have the Visual C++ 6.0 Development Environment.

Summary: Excellent Intermediate Book!
Comment: Most Visual C++ are at one of two levels. The first is the low-end introduction to Visual C++, which is normally a tutorial of C++ and not very useful other than to present some basic concepts. The second is the advanced MFC books that are pretty hard to use if you've only got the basics.
This book is a good introduction for programmers new to Visual C++, but not totally in the dark. I found having Visual Basic experience and a basic understanding of Windows APIs to be a definite plus.
Where I found this book to be the most useful is that it fills in the "holes" between understanding how to create a Visual C++ project and how to implement a complex application.
I agree with the comments that this is not a beginner's book (or even a "Bible"), but if you are on a learning curve for Visual C++ and have gotten through the introductory texts (and the "Learning Edition CD-ROM), this is the book for you.

Summary: this is a good book
Comment: There is no "a good book" for everybody. This book contains original and clear information.
