    There are links to free online books and tutorials in the FAQ. Have a look at it.

    And of course, don;t get a book that deals with VISUAL C++, as it will most certainly be MFC (which we all know is evil).

    wondering

    MFC is said to be evil, actually I don't know about this because I've never used it, I've only done console programs so far. What I'm wondering is why is MFC such a bad alternative for beginners? Isn't it an easy way to get into windows programming?

    MFC is compilcated. It attempts to address ALL aspects of GUI programming in a set of classes. This makes them bloated. The model it uses is somewhat restrictive. These are just a few reasons. You MUST know pointers, and some other basic C++ stuff as well.

    I doubt there will be a book entirely on learning the VC++ IDE, however most MFC books havbe a chapter that teaches you about the IDE.

    The old games were made using straight C, using whatever video type was availible. There was no DirectX or OpenGL, or Windows. They had to program everything themselves.
