Professional MFC With Visual C++ 6 Review by anonymous
Expert Advice, Well Hidden
There's no doubt that Blaszczak knows MFC. Expertise nonwithstanding, however, the book suffers and ultimately fails for two reasons: poor writing infused with distracting try-too-hard humor, and an index that's so far off in the weeds as to be utterly useless. If you feel you must purchase this book, try reading a few pages first; if the author doesn't annoy you within two pages, you may get along with him just fine.
Count on this, however: you WILL need a different book as a reference. The index, when it contains what I'm looking for at all, is often several pages off target. Most often, though, I can't even find what I'm looking for in the index.
The party's pretty much over for MFC anyway, and thank God for that. At least Microsoft finally came to their senses and cloned much of Java for their C#/.NET stuff.
