If you want to learn C++, I suggest learning the langauge before jumping into any 'SDK'. Learn the basics. After that, the other stuff will come in naturally. There is nothing wrong with writing console based applications before jumping into windows programming, which is tough. Nothing beats a good base knowledge.

Furthermore, MFC 'could' be considered a SDK for windows. So, unless the SDK for this uses the win32api, I don't know what alternative M$ has out there, besides win32api and .NET.

My advise, go learn the basics, then go to windows programming.

Sorry if this is too long winded.
