best MFC tutorial?
I''m developing a level editor for my sidescroller and learning MFC at the same time
Could someone point me towards the best beginner''s MFC tutorial?
Frankly, Apart from being bloated, buggy, and forcing document/view paradigms upon the programmer--MFC is outdated as well. Microsoft has properly given up on it, apart from legacy support.
Instead of using MFC, I''d highly recommend writing GUI apps in .NET using Managed C++ or C#. If you have experience with Java or C++, and with Windows API or MFC, programming with .NET will come _very_ intuitively. It''s certainly easier overall than MFC, a lot more robust--with more capabilities to boot.
Granted, .NET certainly isn''t a solution for 3d applications--the performance loss would be unacceptable. But for a gui app like a map editor, it would be perfectly suited. Use the right tool for the right job
