Miss Wodtkes book does not cover the complete MFC, that is true, there is no mention of the OLE, Synchronisation and Internet classes but then this is the book which fresh MFC programmers go to, before going to Jeff Prosise or a David Kruglinsky. This is the book which which says that it covers certain things( at the back of the cover though) and does just that, definitely there are no stories for entertaining the reader. The earlier reviews are filled with her ex-students who are totally biased( what Miss Wodtke does in her classes is not the topic under review). The book has quite a few Typo errors, I am sure Miss Wodtke agrees. All the Example programs provided in the books compile and Run well on Windows95( VC 4.2 as well as 5). The readers are advised to go through the chapter on the IDE where the author has told users what to do in the settings. The book is not a course on Exception handling (Even the best books don't touch this in their programs, the underlying wrapped API's are supposed to handle them), All the most frequently used classes and functions of the MFC(the common controls is a highlight here), the tick-tack example with complete splitter is one of the fastest for the beginner to get into real programming. The The Document-View Architecture covered is one of the best for a beginner, The book is available for a heavily discounted price in India(It is definitely worth the price). Unfortunately, this is a book which almost everyone has gone through but feels ashamed to admit(ofcourse, there are books which readers don't even bother to lay their hands on).Some readers would rather show that they grasped everything from the bigger books at the first go(so much for vanity!!!).
