I assume your goal is to create Active X controls.

Get a book or read some of the fine introductory articles that began appearing online a few years ago. Take some time to play around with the ATL component wizard. Create some "toy" components.

If you are doing any GUI work, you can either mix MFC with ATL or use WTL to handle the user interface. ATL comes with some rudimentary Windows templates. WTL extends these templates to cover nearly all of the Windowing API.
