Want to learn more about MFC/VC?

There are three resources I am compelled to plug that every MFC/VC++ developer should be aware of. These are covered in detail in section TODO, but I want to bring them to your attention here too.

  1. The MFC mailing list - this was sponsored by the world famous David Elliott, but he burned out on maintaining and moderating the list and now it is sponsored by Microsoft and moderated by a team of moderators. This is an EXCELLENT way to learn about the MFC FAQ. Details on joining are in section 2.2.4.
  2. Visual C++ Developer's Conference - This is a conference 100% about Visual C++. If you are like me and are getting burned out on every conference suddenly covering the Internet, but you want to learn more about OLE/MFC/ATL/VC/COM/ActiveX as far as applications/Windows programming is concerned, then VCDC is for you. Section 2.5 has details or surf to http://www.vcdj.com .
  3. Visual C++ Developer's Journal - An online monthly magazine about VC++/MFC - http://www.vcdj.com - excellent stuff. I wish it was a printed magazine, but online works I guess - better than nothing!
