C / C++ / MFC

For one, this article promotes 80's #define's as if they're still a valuable solution (hint: a global const variable can do the same and is always the better option).
Also the later suggestion is not only obvious (use member variables, duh!), but actually needlessly complicates things: you can name structs just like classes without typedef's, and if you really need a global structure for these things, use templates! How can code with #define's and typedef's be called "Optimized for C++11", when it looks more like C72?
