More than an introduction
I couldn't say more about the workmanship of this text. The guy nailed it. I wish he would write the next one. True to form, the book gives an excellent introduction, but the treatment of the subject is so good, the title is a bit modest.In a masterfully developed discussion, Jones uses simple console apps in Part1 to explain objects and MFC. In Part2, he goes deeper but uses handcrafted MFC apps instead of relying on the visual tools and wizard, cleverly eliminating the noise and black magic. In Part3 he brings in the visual tools to complete the discussion and get into meatier topics. The book is rich with excellent diagrams that adeptly illustrate the subtle connections in windows architecture. The code snippets are well organized and highlighted to show the inter-relationships as well. I still refer to this book. If you've been around Windows C++ programming at all, you know it can be both the easiest and hardest programming to do. Once you know the tricks you can move mountains. Any book that gets you there quickly is literally worth its weight in gold. Top marks to Richard M. Jones.

Watch out
Unfortunately Intro to MFC Prog with Visual C++ by R Jones is written for a previous version of Visual C++. Since I have Visual C++.NET 2003, I couldn't get beyond page 2. Neither the book nor the authors web site tells you what version is required.

Excellent MFC Book
This book is my favourite MFC book I have ever read. If you want to begin programming with MFC, surely begin with this book. Examples are so so good. It's not a Wizard definition book, it's really MFC Mastery. My real rating is 10 stars but I can not rate it from here. :)
