Visual C++ .NET for Experienced Programmer: A Managed-Code Approach from the DEITEL® Developer Series first provides the experienced programmer with a concise introduction to C++ programming fundamentals before presenting more advanced topics in detail. Learn how to create reusable software components with assemblies, modules, and DLLs. Cover the fundamental techniques of Visual C++ .NET-based networking, create database connections using ADO.NET, create Web-based applications using ASP.NET, and learn to create XML Web services. The book features detailed LIVE-CODE® examples that highlight crucial concepts in files and streams, that show how to create custom GUI controls, that demonstrate how to use sockets to hide network details, and that show Web services at work.



From the Back Cover

Key Visual C++ .NET concepts are presented in the context offully-tested programs, complete with syntax shading, detailed line-by-line descriptions and programoutputs. The book features 228 LIVE-CODE programs that contain 34,131 lines of proven VisualC++ .NET program code. In addition, the book includes 387 tips that help programmers build applicationsthat are portable, reusable and optimized for performance.

—Neal Patel, Microsoft Corporation

"The authors did a brilliant job showing how Microsoft's Visual C++ .NETIDE eases the learning curve."

—Michael J. Hudson, Framework engineer, Blueprint Technologies

"Provides a useful introduction to unmanaged C++, including COMinteroperability, creating ActiveXcontrols and IIS extensions."

1.0 out of 5 stars I hated this book, 21 Oct 2005
I found the "for experienced programmers" in the title tempting as I needed to get to grips with C++ .net in as short a timescale as possible.

The bloated nature of the book, full of basic, very basic, computer theory:

"Ultimately. all data items processed by a computer are reduced to combinations of zeros and ones."
(14.2 Data Hierarchy)

and endless, boring and generally irrelevant listings and screen shots very quickly put paid to my hopes of a clear, concise guide for experienced programmers.

Reading some of the "Software Engineering Observations" - for example:

"5.3:Make a class member private if there is no reason for that member to be accessed outside of the class definition"

I cannot help but wonder exactly what sort of experienced programmers are the authors aiming at?

I think this is possibly the worst technical manual I ever bought.

1.0 out of 5 stars Out of date, inaccurate, overbloated & incomplete, 21 Aug 2005
By S. Bailey "trainersbuk" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
At first sight this book looks excellent, however, if you go deeper into the text you will find that it does not cover the features of the latest version of the Visual Studio .NET software. It deals with the 2002 release of the product. Later versions have some important enhancements that are thus not covered by the book. One major enhancement the forms designer is not covered at all.

As far as the inaccuracies mentioned in the review title are concerned these could have something to do with the changes between versions of the product. However, I have found bugs in the examples used in the book.

The code examples used in the book are, in my opinion, overbloated code. Code is listed in full which takes up a good few pages. Whilst this may be considered a good feature, the code examples used in the book are available for download from the authors website anyway. In one case I encountered recently I was looking at a seven page code listing that illustrated a point that was actually covered by only 3 or 4 lines of code. These lines were buried in the 7 pages & I had to search for them. This makes the examples difficult to follow. Another issue I have with the code examples is that they do not follow what is generally accepted by professional programmers as good coding practice.

There are also instances in the book where a topic is only partially explained. Features are mentioned but not explained leaving the reader to ask "What is ...?" or "How do I use that feature?".

This could be an excellent text if it was brought up to date & the examples trimmed, but as it is I cannot recommend it at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not buy to learn from!, 9 Aug 2005
By S. Bailey "trainersbuk" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This book is over 1500 pages long. Hardly surprising when the author uses highly bloated code examples to illustrate his points. Take for example the section on file I/O. The book contains a code example that uses Windows forms. Most of the code for the example is concerned with setting up & dealing with the form. The first reference to a file is 7 pages from the start of the example. This is not the only such case!

There are errors in some of the examples! Beware!!!

The author also uses features of .NET before he has covered them in the book again making some of the examples difficult to understand.

The author also uses features of the language without explaining them. For example he refers to the TextWriter object and then forgets it at that point in the book leaving the reader to ask the question what the ****** is a TextWriter used for?

All in all a confusing overweight overbloated text which I would not recommend.
