The MFC Scribble tutorial walks you through developing a simple MFC application. Each chapter explains a new class, skill, or tool. You can work along with the tutorial, or you can simply read and then try out each stage of the tutorial program.

Several other tutorials guide you through the fundamentals of OLE, ActiveX controls, and databases. See MFC Tutorials available.
