2.0 out of 5 stars Acceptable, but not among the best out there..., 1 Aug 1999
By A Customer
Did this book! Took me nowhere! If you all ready know a little VC++ it gives you a little more practice and understanding. Not that bad and can't hurt. Got more out of the VC++ tutorials that are about the same stuff level as this book. Want to go somewhere? Do Prosise - Programming Windows with MFC and/or Kruglinski - Programming Visual C++. Its money better spent, they're keepers. Wanta buy my copy of this. Might have its place but not a keeper on my shelf. Could have saved some money...

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A proper explanation of Visual C++., 22 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I have worked with C/C++ for some time now, but only in a text-based environment... It became time to work in a proper Windowed environment. I started with one of the SAMS 21 day series books and ended up using it as firewood. Thankfully this book actually ties in C++ classes with the MFC libraries. Unlike the SAMS books, the author chooses to explain the examples line by line.

While I have found this to be an excellent tutorial it does not explain C/C++ in the body of the text. There is however a C/C++ review in an appendix. It would definitely be in your best interest to have a decent grasp of C++ fundamentals before beginning. I would suggest O'Reilly Press's C++: The Core Language as a more proper C++ class reference.

Overall, money well spent.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most complete reference I've found, 4 May 1999
By A Customer
I have several books on Visual C++ that claim to do what this book does. Most come short of explaining how to do simple things with Visual C++ but this book is not one of them. In this book, the reader learns to use Visual C++ for the most simple processes as well as some pretty complicated things. I highly recommend it for anyone who need to learn about Visual C++!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book, but still covers the old help system.
This book is one of the best books covering MFC and VC++ 6.0. But i still wanted some info around the new help system created with html format and not the old one based on RTF.
