About how hard it is on earth for learning MFC, this should vary from person to person. If you are experienced programmers started from the base Windows OS, you'd likely have been a member of programmers developing the MFC class libraries; on the contrary, if you just have learned few years of Windows programming, then you may have not any knowledge on the underlying system. In the latter case, you must have one book on your desk for reference anytime (every technology needs this). For MFC, it will be Programming Windows with MFC.

The C language withstood test of time is absolutely not replaceable by its younger brother C++ (it just has not such ability, unless one day the computer does not use 0s and 1s any more). Experienced programmers can use C language to write fast and efficient programs all the time, and even now the running million lines of C codes everywhere fully demonstrate its formidable vitality.

Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets is an advanced textbook for the ANSI C programming language. That means it is suitable for both readers who have already written come C programs and those guys who want to get some expert views and skills quickly. It helps programmers who have certain experience in C programming to become expert in this field, plus it can help them understand and then step into the C++ field standing at the height of C.

In the development history of computer, no programming language is so widely used like C. The C Programming Language was co-written by the famous computer scientist Brian Kernighan and the father of C language Dennis Ritchie. As an authoritative classic writing introducing the standard C language and its programming methods, it is regarded as the must-read bible for C language programming (or we can see it as the industry standards of C language which is widely used anywhere all the time).

Head First C provides a complete learning experience for teaching you how to use the C language to create powerful and practical programs. This book uses a unique way to help you learn C: in addition to explaining the grammar and technical points, it will also help you understand how to become an outstanding programmer.
