MFC Step-by-Step Guide
This tutorial was produced
under guidance of Kelvin Sung, Associate Professor in the Computing and Software Systems
program at the University of Washington Bothell. This
guidance tutorial was designed to create reference and direction given in conjunction with
the book "Essential Concepts for Building Interactive Graphics Applications".
While the concept of graphics and event-programming allows one to program in various Graphic and
GUI API's, these tutorials will utilize the Microsoft® Visual Studio® Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) using the Microsoft Foundations Class (MFC)
as the GUI API.
Each lesson inside the tutorial will include a set of prerequisites from previous tutorials, along with occasional software
and library prerequisites.
