I wonder if you have and idea who different are they? Different platforms, languages and status (MFC almost dead, WPF still emerging).

And also add WPF in your tags, not just MCF.

Ah, the oldie-goldie list. Possibly the WPF guys should add some titles there.

Solution 1

These two subjects are totally different. If you are using C++ and Windows API then MFC would be the next step. However, if you wish to divert to WPF then you need to study .NET and C# or VB.NET. There are many samples and tutorials on the internet, in MSDN and even in the articles here on CodeProject. If you want books then again you can find them via Google and read some of the reviews that go with them.

Don't forget C++/CLI -- it cannot come after VB.NET: C++/CLI is international standard, ECMA + ISO on par with C#; VB.NET standardization is not even discussed, probably will never be. As OP mentioned MFC (C++ only), C++/CLI is more relevant then other languages. This time, I voted 4, just by that reason.

I deliberately omitted C++/CLI as I think it adds too much confusion for someone who is still learning.

CPallini 2-Feb-12 8:16am

I agree. Moreover C++/CLI is not a ISO standard, it is a Nish standard. :-D
(Well, Nish's revenge is called WinRT).
