doesn't work with visual studio 6.0
A coworker of mine had a really good MFC book that had the words "21 days" in the title.

This is not it.It may very well be a decent book, but it seems to have been written for users of a much earlier version of visual studio than I have.None of the instructions in Chapter 1 work at all, all the wizard dialogs in visual studio seem to have completely changed since this was published.

A good primer on MFC.
This book is a good start on basic MFC programming.Recommended if you are just starting out with MFC.Found myself wanting more in depth discussion of some of the MFC concepts such as MDI.

The style of writing is (for me, anyway) a bit much.The book is filled with lots of cutesy little jokes, and plays on words that I found really annoying.I prefer strait facts without the warm fuzzy stuff.

Having said that, I DO recommend this book as a very useful first volume in your MFC/VC++ reference library.

Good book
This book can help to learn MFC and it justifies its price but be prepared to learn genealogy just to understand some of the slightly lenghly examples. ... Read more

Folding for X
I am an inveterate dog-earer, often bending the pages unconciously, and I find, after reading Robert B. Shaw's SOLVING FOR X, that I've folded down the corners of 17 pages! I haven't messed up a book of poetry this badly in a long, long time.

Many of the poems in this book are metrical, and quite of few of them employ perfect rhyme. One of these, my favorite in the book, is "A Roadside Flock," a poem ostensibly about copper weather vane roosters, which concludes:

" . . . their giddy doom to pivot, / prey to the winds that flounce about the sky. / It's not the life we'd live if we could live it.
And gleam gives way to verdigris, raised high // to weather drably, exiled from the ground . . . / Feel that? A hint of breeze. Birds of a feather, / their regal beaks shudder without a sound, / and all the copper flock turns tail together."

But "A Roadside Flock" has a lot of stiff competition. I also very much enjoy "Airs and Graces,""A Field of Goldenrod," "The End of the Sonnet," "Dec. 23," "Espalier," "A Paper Cut," "Ant in Amber," "Seed Catalogues in Winter," "A Flashback," "Letter of Recommendation," "Out of Character," "Static," "September Brownout," "Other Eyes: Hurricane's," "Remainders," and "Living past 19."

I'm struck by how casual Shaw's style is, how downright funny at times, without being the least bit loose or nasty. It's a tricky way to write, but Shaw has mastered it, and I think this is his best book to date.

And that's saying something when you consider his excellent previous books or poetry: THE WONDER OF SEEING DOUBLE, THE POST OFFICE MURALS RESTORED, and BELOW THE SURFACE. But don't trust me. Read everything he's written, including his superb study of the poetry of Herbert and Donne, CALL OF GOD, and judge this intelligent, accessible, witty writer for yourself.
