Microsoft Foundational Class (MFC) is becoming a hot new standard for programmers. This book authoritatively lays the foundation for developers using MFC. Just as Programming Windows has become a classic for all Windows programmers using C and SDK, this book will become a must-have for Windows programmers using C++ with MFC libraries.
Not to detract from this book (was probably the best on the topic), but just need to vent.
MFC represents the essence of what's wrong with Microsoft. It was an amazingly abstruse environment to work in. Required years to gain enough proficiency to be able to work with it productively. And within 10 years of it's introduction Microsoft pulled out the rug and abandoned it. Micro$oft is an evil influence in the world of computers.
