Practical, easy and current but needs a "business" app chapter
By mrjoltcola
The author has a terse, practical, "get it done" style. This is the type of author I like to read; high information density, not a bunch of rhetoric, humor, anecdotes, etc. His experience as a professor is obvious.
This is a good MFC book to have on the shelf for the beginner or intermediate. The advanced Windows / MFC C++ programmer won't get as much from it, but its still worth a read for the self-taught MFC programmer that may not have learned the formal basics. This book might fill in some holes for you, particularly if you ever have to write your own GUI controls.
The author makes MFC fun, and after reading the book, it kindles a new zest for programming, reminding me of writing Tetris for DOS in college, and makes me want to take up Windows game programming again.
Strengths:
1) Great coverage of low-level graphics, text, fonts and basically doing things without dependence on the MFC standard controls.
2) Great samples. Great overall organization around those samples.
For the experienced C++ business app developer, the two weaknesses of this book are:
1) 88 pages (almost 20%) dedicated to C++ primer. Many pepople will simply skip to Chapter 3.
2) The book does not cover a business style application, such as use of a lot of dialogs, the more advanced MFC controls like lists boxes, trees, splitters, etc.
3) Authors seems uncomfortable with the C++ STL and states that he "found many of those classes to be rather clumsy to use" and "it is not a good idea to mix MFC and STL container classes". This statement lacks credibility and it the author wishes to teach C++ (apparently he does by including the first 2 chapters) then he should reconsider inclusion of STL rather than re-inventing the wheel with his own List, Set and Array classes. But all in all, he doesn't waste more than 4-5 pages on that, and it doesn't detract from the book.
This book is more tailored to "Learning to write software on Windows" than "How to create more powerful MFC apps ". The student, hobbyist or game programmer will love this book. A business app developer may end up wishing for more involved examples. The author spends most of his time on drawing / device context approach, and very little on the many controls that we commonly use to create rich applications.
In a nutshell, if the author releases a 2nd edition, I'll buy it, just because this is the style of programming book that I like, but only if the author adds one or two more complex sample apps demonstrating controls and approaches you might find in a business application.
More authors should write in this style. It makes programming fun. We have too many "tomes" of APIs and theory and complex frameworks (WCF for example) so this is refreshing for us native app developers. I can envision this book as a great course book for a Computer Science student, because it makes Windows programming accessible and fun.
Despite my critique, the book is still a gem.

Good for the concepts, but not for VS interface
By M. Henri De Feraudy
Here is my situation:
I've learned C++ and have done most of it through Qt and its environment.
Now a job opportunity arises in which I must learn MFC.
The first disappointment comes from the fact that you need the professional Visual Studio, not the Express version, so I download the evaluation
version of VS 2012. This book isnt much help with the installation and the environment. In fact it is for VS 2008, so I hope that it will help
me anyway. There are some nice sample applications that are used to explain the concepts. The problem is that when trying to implement the first
application I am completely stuck, in chapter 4 when it says "We can catch the message by opening the file RingView.cpp choosing View and Property Window,
and the Message button". What on earth are this window and this button on the VS user interface? I cant find anything that looks like this. Maybe the
interface has changed since 2008.
So I download Professional Visual Studio 2012 and there I have an explanation of all the mysterious installation options, the VS interface etcetera.
In short Hornanders' book looks like a university course for students, with practical assignments where all those details were shown to the students, but they were not detailed in the book.
There are some weird conventions for code like inserting
mouseRingdoc.h (excerpt) void MouseDown(CPoint point);
in the middle of code for RingDoc.h
Still, it does make the idea of learning MFC seem not daunting.
Update:
When I wrote this review I did not have access to my copy of Ivor Horton's Beginning Visual C++ 2008 which turns out to be much more detailed than Bjornander's book. Reading through the appropriate chapters (12 onwards) have solved the problem. If I had one book to reccommend it would be Ivor Horton's book. Still, Horton's book is very big and heavy and Bjornander's book has some nice examples.
The solution to my problem above is to use the "class view" of the solution, choose the class, open the Properties window with a right mouse button click, last item, and then click on the "Messages" button in the toolbar of that window. This works in VS 2012 and
I guess VS 2008.

Succinct!
By Chris F
Author definitely does not waste words. But, it's clear. He gives reminders when it is appropriate, so I consider this a book that does attempt to teach how to program. I am finding the code examples to be very useful. It's nice to see the actual steps to get the results you find when you just download an example program.
