Introduction to MFC Programming with Visual C
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 4.64/5 from 47 reviews A great book for starting out in MFCEasy to Understand and Informative!I have been programming C++ for like 2 years but don't know anything about MFC. This book helps me learn MFC. Jones' explanations are really good and there are a lot of screen-shots to support that. Rather than reading through the code, you look at the screen-shot, and you know right away what a program does. The other thing is the book doesn't use AppWizard right away. Jones makes you start from the scratch which gives you the insight look on all MFC classes and data types. But this book doesn't teach C++! You have to know basic C++ and some OOP, or you will feel lost most of the time. If you are new to MFC, go get this book. If you alreay know MFC, this book will be too easy for you. If you don't know C++, this is not your book. I also recommend that you get MS Visual C++ 6.0 so that you could try out all the programs in the book. Keep it up! There are cool Windows applications ahead! programmingglitchIf you want to do some professional programming this book is almost a waste. It is very basic. VERY BASIC. Doesnt answer any of the basic questions. Okay. With MFC and SDI and MDI and all the supposedly cool and hyper smart stuff we at least hope to go beyond writing codes in SDI and MDI for saying "Hello World", and typing three stings as a document file. If that is supposed to be smartness....god save the world. No Help. With anything. Wont help you write a windows application. Unless ofcourse, you are the hello world kid. And get an ego boost once your hello world works! | ||||||||||||||||||||
Totally worth the purchase price. Written clearly, _with_ screenshots showing you the steps. And very importantly, there is plenty of whitespace for you to pencil in your notes on the material. It's also quite easy to find among your computer books, because it's not the standard size of the computer books (you all know what i mean, the textbook size). It's 8.5 x 11, which makes it a breeze to yank it from a messy pile on the floor. Not that it's that big of a problem, cuz this book will be on the top of my pile for quite a while.
