More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book will concentrate on C++ and some C# techniques that will benefit Visual Basic programmers. The author's approach is to cover things that "feel good" in each language and where the languages can enhance each other, then the basics of C++, from a VB programmer's perspective, and finally COM and ActiveX programming in depth. This book should be more practical than most; much of the code shown will be shipping commercially and have a demonstrated application. There will be a great deal of source code, and will include controls and COM objects that can be directly adopted by the reader.
From the Back Cover
The C family of languages is the consummate choice of programmers who want to program without restrictions. Think of anything you want to do in programming, and there is a way to get it done in C, C++, or C#. There are very few language families that can make that claim. This book was written for intermediate to advanced Visual Basic programmers who want these languages on their tool belt. This book will concentrate on components of and the differences in Visual Basic and C. You will be shown how to write routines and objects that you can use to augment your Visual Basic skills. If you decide to shift to the C family altogether, this is a good way to begin your transition. At the same time, there is enough information in this book to shift to C# completely.In Visual C++® for Visual Basic® Developers you willUnderstand the differences between basic C and Basic code, using numerous examplesLearn about common programming constructs in C, including decisions and loopingGet an introduction to C++ classes and implementation inheritance, concepts critical for programming in C++ or C# technologiesLearn about creating components in different technologies, and relevant differences between COM and .NET technologiesExplore ActiveX® control development in detailTake a look into C# and build a component with it, demonstrating some of the practical differences between C# and the previous development languages 0672322188B03282002

terrible
14 April 2003
Format:Paperback
This is a terrible book. Do not waste your money. As an experienced VB developer new to C++, I found this book to be so poorly written and organized that it was almost totally useless. I've read piles of books on different languages and technologies so this is not a frustrated nubie complaining here.
Don't be fooled by the title. After a sloppy review of C and C++ the book gets to it's real focus: Writing components for VB in C and C++. If this is your focus, you may find some useful info in a couple of chapters. Otherwise, don't bother.
I recommend Core C++ by Victor Shtern. Very thorough and well written. Then just read the documentation that comes with Visual C++ before spending your money on another book.

Great into to C++ for VB developers
14 Aug 2002
Format:Paperback
This is a great book! I've been working the past few months to transition from VB to C++, and have worked through several books. But most of them took many concepts for granted that left me in the dark. This book explains VC++ from a VB standpoint and has answered all my questions that other books didnt even touch.
