5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for VC users with some knowledge of C++& Windows, Nov 21 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beginning Mfc Programming (Paperback)
The author is definitely in my list of people who is capable of explaining concepts clearly and at reasonable length. To be fair to the book, it is not trying to be all things to all people - it presumes some knowledge of Windows and a reasonable knowledge of C++ and gives you a reasonable knowledge of MFC. You will need to get another book later on without a doubt, but that's what you would expect from a book titled "Beginning..." With this in mind I think this book does an excellent job - especially if your the type of person who likes to be hand-held just a little and you prefer explanations that are longer rather than shorter. Still, MFC is not for whimps and you will have to put on your thinking cap. If it does rely on automatic code, as another review suggests, then I would suggest that you learn about that in more advanced tutorials - I am glad there weren't chapters on understanding code that the wizard generates in a "beginning" book! Similarly, the paper used explaining mundane things is something I'm prepared to wear and for someone who is used to using Borland C++, are often extremely useful. Excellent book that achieves what it aims to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars I used it for an accelerated course and found it very appropriate for MFC programming, July 23 2008
By Charles Ashbacher - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Beginning Mfc Programming (Paperback)
Approximately a decade ago, I was teaching an accelerated program in computer science and one of the sections covered advanced C++ programming using Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). This book was the text selected for that section and I was not part of the selection process. Therefore, I had some reservations about the situation, but fortunately, those fears proved groundless. Horton does an excellent job in presenting the principles of MFC programming and using it, I was able to give the students some rather advanced programming projects.
The students voiced no major complaints about the book; the most severe was that if they read the chapter(s) before class they occasionally found them confusing. However, when they re-read them after class, the material made sense. Therefore, I found this book to be a sound introductory text for classes in programming with Microsoft Foundation Classes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Beginning MFC book, July 1 2002

This review is from: Beginning Mfc Programming (Paperback)
I wouldn't rate it as high as Ivor's book on Java but it is very good. Good examples and easy reading. Although MFC will be going by the wayside in the next couple of years I would like to see Ivor do an intermediate/advanced MFC 6 or 7 book. I like his style that much. I can't think of any typos in the example code, if there were they were small and / or obvious. This book helped greatly in getting through a difficult 1st term MFC course. The only thing missing in this book (no books on this subject are to be found anywhere) is MFC and ODBC, DAO, ADO, OLE DB. Maybe everyone wants to do DB stuff the easy way... in VB. Well worth the $...I spent on it used.
