I thought on trying to go with direct win32 programming, but it felt like a real pain from the begining, so, after looking through VC6, I discovered MFC, which, from a first glance, looks cleaner than win32 because it wraps around most of the common stuff.

I found a tutorial on codersource.net that looks nice, but I was wondering if you'd have any recommendations as in other sites, books, whatever.

Thanks in advance!

You should not start with MFC before having a good understanding of the Windows API.
