wanting to program MFC, not forms (vc++ 2003)

[Guest]

I am an experienced c++ programmer and I have done most of my c++ programming
with .net as console or directx programs. I want to learn
windows programming and make quality applications going beyond what
forms can do, so I'm thinking MFC - does anyone know of good tutorials
on MFC ?

..NET programmer more usually knows about WiForm application (or WebForms for
web developers).
Ifyou want to learn about MFC you'll be more lucky with these newsgroups

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vc
microsoft.public.vc.mfc

I would not recommend MFC. I use to be an MFC programmer and .NET
Winforms is very capable. You can use COM interop or use Win32
directly where that is required. Also, I'm very affluent in C++ and C#
is better for most task then C++ as well.

If you need to do more system level stuff then I'd look into Delphi as
it is very similar to .NET. Most stuff that can't be done in WInforms
is best for component development to be used from C# so ATL and WTL
would also be considered.

An MFC coder once said it perfectly, 'with mfc you keep paying in but
you never get a return'
