If you just need to understand VC++ interface... play with it for a few hours. Or take the Mastering VC++ CDs
(from MS). The Mastering is, in fact, for MFC, but after a few labs you'll know the interface. :)

If you need to lear C++, Bjarne Stroustrup's "C++ Programming Language" is the best (IMHO). After all, he invented C++.

>Do need to get up to speed in VC++ though. I think it's important to know and may greatly enhance your ability to get work. Do you recommend a tutorial?
