Mfc Programming With Visual C++ 6 Unleashed

Have some good advanced topics. Good examples.

What a book! Has various hard-to-find topics all in one huge book. Includes database, network/socket, .... and even a section on reading/writing to Windows registry. After reading these sections, you will have advanced your MFC programmng skills by at least two levels.

If you want to become a VC++ expert, then Read "Getting started with Visual C++..." for Deitel & Deitel. Then, move to this book. This book will cover the major idea and foundation of MFC. Then It identifies you with the Technologies and archetictures included within MFC. Starting from Doc/Viwe .. then COM/DCOM, Internet Programming, MAPI, TAPI, SAPI, Graphics .. and so on. This Book will cover each area within of MFC. After that you may decide to be specialized In Word Processing, Internet Programming, Mailing Systems, Graphics ...etc. Visual C++ & MFC are a wide and a Huge Worlds, So Don't expect that one book is going to cover every little point. This Book is really A great Starting Point to Start with.

Good and detailed sections on the parts of MFC not always found in other books such as Internet programming, OpenGL, COM, etc.Its a good complement to the more step by step books such as Learn VC++ in 21 days and others. The narrative is a little dry and tiring in places and some of the example code is a little under explaned. Overall a valuable asset to the new or experienced Visual C++ developer.

Just got it and it has some excellent step by step instructions for the "newbie" to VC++. My favorites are examples of sock programming for gathering data from the internet! George
