MFC Programming with Visual C++ 6

If you've never written a book, I can't recommend the experience highly enough. It really tests your mettle! I would like to second Dave's comments and voice a hearty "Thank You!" to all who participated in the making of this book. I know for myself it was a labor of love--I love writing code, and writing about writing code is even better! (Well, almost...) I believe this to be true for all of us who put this together for you.

Unlike Paul DiLascia (who writes for "Microsoft System's Journal"), I can honestly say "If it works, we wrote it...if it doesn't work, we *still* wrote it! (And take responsiblility for it...)" We use this code and these techniques every day, and we hope you'll find they work for you, too.

The "first-stop" book for the intermediate MFC developer
While this topic has been well-covered, Kenn and I approached it from a practicality standpoint. Internal books go too deep too fast. Beginning books don't go far enough very quickly. Our book, conceived after several discussions, centers on the most-used and efficient methodologies of applying MFC to "every day" problem solving. Many wonderful authors assisted us in this colossal effort, and our deepest appreciation go out to those souls and their many late nights on this project. From the Document/View architecture to DirectX programming, this book covers it. Obviously, covering every possible topic down to an in-depth level would require many volumes, but we set our sights on creating the best desk reference available today. I think you will find that we did just that.

By the way, I've written only this book, and assisted Lyn Robison on "Teach Yourself Database Programming with Visual C++ in 21 days". I have to live with a very common name !
