I'm looking for some good books on programming. I'm hoping to make some simple windows applications with C++. I'm familiar with java/c syntax and I also know some lisp. And also, what is mfc? Thanks for any info.
 
Oh, I just love alphabet soup....
One meaning of MFC is a multifunction machine....
Basically its a printer, copier and fax (scanner) all rolledup into one machine

Okay, you knew that, so give us a hint on the context of MFC...
Good Luck________-
 
I think MFC stands for Microsoft Foundation Classes.

We used "C++ How to Program" by Dietel and Deitel in my CS259 class. I have their book on C. Pretty nice. Examples with source code come in handy too (I'm sure you know that, just a reminder)
 
where would i get the microsoft foundation classes and are there any other good books? thanks for the help
 
MFC is provided when you use the MS Visual Studio development environment.

In reality all it is is a set of DLL libraries that protect/hinder you from understanding how Windows operates.

I fyou do not get the MS development environment, you will have to locate all the required source/header files to build with.

best thing is to grab an academic version of Visual Studio or a training package that contains a crippled IDE for MS.
