"If you have previous development experience on other platforms, you may have been overwhelmed by the hidden features of the MFC when you came to work in Windows. Windows Programming Under the Hood of MFC gives you the lowdown on core components of the Windows programming model." "As you work through the text, you'll learn how each new concept relates to MFC and its hierarchical structure. Then you'll be ready to shift into high gear, using your existing C and C++ skills to create dynamic applications for the Win32 architecture with Microsoft Visual C++ 5." "Icons throughout the text help you quickly identify the topics under discussion. Each chapter also includes tutorials for self-guided learning."
