Understanding C++ for MFC

Jumpstart your MFC programming without the tedious study of C++! Now you can learn C++ and MFC together -- learning C++ principles on a need-to-know basis. Author Richard Raposa has refined this tutorial over years of teaching Windows programming in quick Jumpstart your MFC programming! This book demonstrates C++ and MFC together, so you learn C++ principles on a need-to-know basis. You get a contextual understanding of encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism that will allow you to use this powerful, efficient approach to create full-scale Windows apps.
