Windows design and implementation using classes

Question

Are there any good books that will teach you about creating windows applications using classes?

Answer 1

You can check out the MFC Scribble tutorial.

Answer 2

If you want to create your own classes to wrap the Win32 API then there is no better book but Paul DiLascia's Windows++. It takes you through important Win32 bits and shows you step-by-step how to write a class to wrap them. Out of print but still available used and cheap from Amazon.

If you want to learn how to use a specific class library (which would be wise) then shop for a book that targets that library. Whatever it may be. Even then, Windows++ can show you why such a library works the way it does.

Answer 3

Don't know about a book, but there's a good class library using modern C++ techniques at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wtl/ from which you can learn a lot.
