Dusted off some old books

Wednesday, June 16, 2004 10:16 AM

So I pulled my "Programming Microsoft Visual C++" off of my bookshelf before I left for work this morning. Wow, this book was copyrighted in 1998. The original book on MFC was written in 1992, so this technology is quite old but for some apparent reason still being used. MFC or Win32 is the base of all that a user would see visually for all Windows platforms. Even in the highly anticipated new Windows Operation System code named "Longhorn" the old MFC/Win32 stuff is there. Amazing, it's almost like motif...in a way..hrmmm.
