    Re: MFC Internals

    Hi,

    can you send me a "link" to a good pub where I can have my beer for free?

    I've got the book written by Scott Wingo. It is very useful and I think that it is ok if Mr. Wingo gets some money for it.

    In a few weeks there'll be Christmas Eve and my parents ask me every year what I want to get. How about wishing the book as a Cristmas gift?

    With regards

    Hopefully, someone might correct me - but has this book ever been updated? The most recent version I could find (Amazon etc) was from 1996. It might be a good book but that's nearly 14 years out of date! Unless there's a more recent version it'll still be referring to MFC as it used to be in VC++5.0

    Unfortunately I can't correct you. The book has never been updated. Actually the MFC version it describes is out of date. But on the other hand this book is not a typical "reference" book. It's main purpose is to explain the concepts behind the "official published" scene. And in that way IMHO it is still usefull. But John is right: For a reference I strongly recommend to use a newer book.
    BTW: Is there a good book like "MFC Internals" but more up-to-date?

    I believe the book is still valid because most of the core MFC architecture has been unchanged since 1996.
