That's as far as I got with this tutorial so far: I hope you find it useful.
If anyone has the time to write a couple of chapters which follow-on from this tutorial, I'd be happy to publish them. There are about 350 people per week reading this section, and I'd like to have some more detailed notes to offer. (Email me)

The tutorial you've just read was a write-up of my notes when I used MFC to create an app for Sony. It's got some advantages over Visual Basic (i.e. the programming language is better), but the interface takes an order of magnitude longer to create.
At work now, we're programming windows apps without MFC support, which is a right bitch to get anything done. At home, I'm starting to use GTK+ (similar to MFC, with some advantages), and I'm trying to find a decent GUI front-end to Perl (like Prima?)
Another technology to look at is wxWindows, another cross-platform alternative to MFC. wx has the advantage that you can use it with different programming languages (C, C++, Perl, Python)
Again, if you'd like to write the next chapter in this tutorial, please do
