What's the best way to get into MFC or Win32 in current year? Is there a canonically best book or tutorial for those wanting to learn?

Same as always, get one of the old books, the good ones back in the day.

Programming Windows, by Charles Petzold

Programming Windows with MFC, by Jeff Prosise

COM / DCOM Primer Plus, by Chris Corry Vincent Mayfield John Cadman

Thank you! Despite being older than me, those books look really thorough and well written. It's sort of crazy that these APIs are still as usable today as they were in 1998
