This[^] was what I read a really long time ago.
(Don't want to write that) there was a PDF version of this book online.

That's about the right era, if perhaps a single generation early; the people who brought it to us were running it on an NT4(!) box. Was it any good...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

MFC is still mostly the same.
If I remember correctly, the resource wizard was removed in VS2003 and VS2005 (?), but was re-added later on.
The latest version (implementation) is a little bit more C++ compliant; but there is still a lot of gunk in there.
The new controls (if you have VS2008 or a newer versions) are nice and offer a number of more modern controls (the MFC Feature Pack)
I'd rather be phishing!

I'll keep that in mind if we end up doing a major UI update. Multiple small windows floating around the main dialog is far from my favorite UI paradigm. 
What we're going to do now that my PM (who used to be an MFC dev back in the day) got it building in VS2010 and fixed all of the compiler warnings is still rather up in the air.

But if you're going to use the MFC Feature Pack you have to be cautious about the fact that Microsoft simply bought it from an outside vendor and added it to the feature set with most of its rough edges still intact. See for example, this[^] exploration of the CMFCLinkCtrl class intended for use with hyperlinks. Among other things it included hard-coded fonts.

Around the platform here in the arabian gulf the sea life is just amazing compared to the that of the North Sea.
Lots of different types of fish, from big long things that wander about, to the shorter thin arrow like things that jump out of the water on mass when the sharks or dolphins come in about.
Then there are long fat headed things with shiny blue fins.....Coming into Whale Shark season in the area as well which could be interesting.
As you can see from above I'm no fish name expert! 
I only know the name of the Whale Sharks because there is a new procedure in place for the season limiting vessel speeds etc.)
Oh, and hello all by the way!

This book is brilliant for fish in Middle Eastern waters[^] - I know you're not in the Red Sea, but the fishies will be just about the same:

You know more about fish species than me, the only ones I know are Cod, Haddock and Rock, all with chips.

So the really important question is: How's the chef?

Very convenient. 
I wanted to be able to run/debug the actual web site without having to comment out my coming soon page, and Route Constraints was the answer. Thank you google.

Good to see you are starting to learn the ins and outs of MVC.
Once you get the swing of it you will find it has a lot of advantages, especially with separation of concerns.
Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.
In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. – Buddha

To be honest, I was already separating concerns. I think MVC is a solution looking for a problem.

You are more disciplined than most. You are a natural for TDD.

I tend to disagree with you on this. I think MVC is a solution just like many others, but it forces you to develop in a way that is better than some solutions.
It takes a lot of discipline to not add logic to your presentation layer.
Not the discipline I have seen in many projects I have worked on in the past. Usually management is concerned with the fastest solution, and none of this talk about maintainability.

Fitting to my current work, I give you this movie quote:
You call this archaeology?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.
