5.0 out of 5 stars Cant put the book down. . ., 31 Aug 1999
By A Customer
At the ripe old age of 40 I am embarking on a change of career from an engineer to a programmer and have very limited experience of C,C++.

I Have attended the following courses :- C++ Primer C++ for non C programmers C++ & MFC

I have not yet written a line of commercial c++ code.

I have just bought your Visual C++ 6 starter kit I have spent a fortune on various C++ books and attended expensive training courses too. Your book is by far the best I have ever seen, I cant put it down, it fills in all the gaps and consolodates most of the theory learnt on the recent courses where other books fight shy of supplying syntax. Thank you, Thank you Thank you

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time, 17 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I wish I had read the other reviews before I purchased this book because some of them are very accurate. I've been programming for years, but have no Visual C++ experience. I was looking for something to get a quick start. With more difficulty than should have been necessary, I made it all the way through most of chapter 8, at which time it became a complete waste.

The author skips from topic to topic and does not explain the fundamentals behind major concepts. Multiple pages are used to list every property for different controls and yet space cannot be found to explain basic ideas.

This is a typical example of a good concept (learn something without reading a book that's too heavy to carry) that was not implemented well. Either it was rushed to press too soon or they should have found a more appropriate author.

3.0 out of 5 stars What do you expect in 24 Hours?, 22 Jan 1999
By A Customer
I got this just so I wouldn't have to sit through a 600 page book before I could make a windows app. The book exclusively uses the MFC AppWizard (basically point and click where you want stuff to go). The detail wasn't that great but the programs worked and if you have a time budjet, it'll probably be sufficient. Just don't expect to pop out Microsoft Word. If your a beginner to programming in general, learn regular C++ first. VC++ is about 10 times harder and it is vital that you understand Classes and how inheritance works before you attempt programming in Windows.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad
This was a not good book, very hard and confusing. Instead I would recommend getting C For Dummies, then Teach Yourself C in 21 Days. MFC is not worth learning. Read more

This book got off to a good start- I already know a bit of C++, so I didn't need a lot on variables and classes and the like, but a true beginner would. Read more
