Jeff Prosise is a technical author on Microsoft Windows applications. He is very experienced in Microsoft Windows technologies like MFC, .NET framework, C# and others.

[edit] Publications

Jeff Prosise is the author of a special programmer's book, Programming Windows with MFC published by Microsoft Press. His book is about the MFC, a C++ based proprietary programming library for Microsoft Windows. This book along with Charles Petzold's popular Programming Windows book are considered to be 'bibles' in Windows programming. While Petzold's book is known as the 'WinAPI bible' or 'Windows bible', Prosise's book is commonly referred to as the 'MFC bible'. However, the latter was never received by the developer's community as being of equal professional merit.

Other publications are Programming Microsoft .NET, Programming Windows with C# or How Computer Graphics Work (co-author Gary Suen). Some other books are rather old, going back to the 80s and 90s, when DOS still was very popular.

At present time, when industry looks more favorably towards the merits of portability with technologies such as wxWidgets, the publications of Prosise continue to fade in utility.
