subscribe to the  windev list server
windev AT rinolam DOT com DOT hk

Lots of activity and good help. Unfortunatly, it really floods your machine
with
mail. Typically, I subscribe when I'm if trouble (lot's of the time!)
then unsubscribe when I get through the problem.

I believe Win32 refers to functions in the Windows API provided with most
Windows heritage compilers, including MS. Lots of functions that you need
to access operating system features, e.g., getting available disk space.
The MFC comprises   foundation classes
for Windows development work. All sorts of C++ classes for creating windows,

menus, dialogs, etc. Makes development of SIMPLE Widows programs very easy.

already know quite a bit of C++ already?
Good references:

Kruglinski, Inside Visual C++, MS Press
Prosise, Programming Windows with MFC, MS Press
Richter, Advanced Windows, MS Press

With all due respect to the very fine GNU product, the MSVC++ product
is really quite good too, IMHO.
