THE Place to start learning MFC / Visual C++

I've always wanted to get to grips with VC++/MFC (and Windows programming in general), but have each time managed to get derailed just because of the ridiculous approach most books take to get you started - with AppWizard generated code and 'to-do' lists. I thought I could write more-than-adequate code in C++, and I found it deeply distressing that I just couldn't get the hang of MFC - I never felt the generated code was 'mine' - and I didn't know what I could delete, what I could amend - what each part of the program was responsible for - I'd just end up cursing Microsoft for coming out with such a messy library and such a lousy programming model. Enter Shirley Wodtke's book - and life is good again ! Okay so it doesn't have the level of detail of say Kruglinski, but thats what was called for. That said, I hope the next edition covers a little bit of Multithreaded programming and some network programming.
