    C++ using Microsoft's MFC libraries

    I'm about to try and work with someone who's using C++, using Microsoft's MFC libraries to run an app off a mySQL database. I've done some programming in Java and C before, but not sure how different this is. Basically its a chance to learn something new and stick on my CV

    Can anyone recommend me some books, tutorials etc?

    Well, if you've done some (how much is some?) C and Java, and wanting to learn some C++ a very nice companion is C How To Program, 3rd Edition, Deitel & Deitel, Prentice Hall. It introduces both C++ and Java. I can't really recommend anything more specific for what you want.
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

    Well if you allready know C then I'd say you should get "C++ How to program" 4th edition, by Deitel and Deitel, which comes with a free evaluation (non-optomising) copy of Visual C++ 6, which is much the same as the latest version.

    Having said that "Practical Visual C++ 6" by Jon Bates and Tim Tompkins is also very good for actually getting things done in GUI programming, but it might be a little too specific to version 6, so if you're using visual studion (.net stuff) it might be a little out of date.
    They told me I was gullible ... and I believed them.

    Yeah, it'll be done in Visual Studio .net apparently - thanks for all the suggestions
