Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Programming Microsoft Visual C++ reveals the structures and systems that make Windows programs work. If you know C well and are at all familiar with C++, this latest version of a classic text is an excellent springboard into programming for Microsoft Windows.

This book is sure to reveal new information to those with Windows programming experience--most of which has to do with the new tools available to Windows programmers. The authors explain COM and Active Template Library (ATL). In learning about those things, you absorb information about ActiveX technologies, database programming, and Microsoft's Internet facilities. Additionally, this guide is still the best around for those who want to put well-behaved windows on the screen, fill them with controls, and have them perform useful functions. Illumination of the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) has traditionally been this book's strong point, and the coverage of MFC 6 in this edition upholds the tradition.

Throughout, illustrative code translates well to real-world projects (particularly since it all appears on a companion CD-ROM). Each example tackles a particular task, such as how to use a persistent frame window class or how to refer to the contents of Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs). --David Wall, Amazon.com

Synopsis

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultimate companion for Visual C++ programmers, 24 Aug 1998
By A Customer
A professional programmer is one who knows not just how to do things, but also why. In this regard, Visual C++ Programming is an excellent choice due to its comprehensive coverage of all aspects related to Windows programming. It discusses in detail the underlying mechanism of Win API and MFC providing invaluable tips and insights for true professionals. However, it's not confined to theoretical concepts exclusively but also explains how to use the debugger, class wizard, AppWizard, resource editor - all of which are integral parts of the Visual C++ environment. New features offered by Visual C++ 6.0 such as IntelliSense, edit and continue, and auto complete are described as well.

The book is not targeted at a particular level of expertise. It can serve as an excellent guidebook for both novices and accomplished programmers, who would like to broaden their knowledge and skills in Windows-based programming with Visual C++. Mind, however, that prior knowledge in C++ is a prerequisite.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons About This Book, 14 Jan 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Inside Visual C++ (Microsoft Programming Series) (Paperback)
Pros: It guides you through building example codes using VC++ 5. Example qualties are good to excellent in that all CD-ROM stuff I tried compiled and worked error free. If you never used VC 5.0 before, this book gives you a practical step-by-step instructions on how to use the tools such as debugger, class wizards, help system. Also there are some good tips on how to debug in-process and out-of-process OLE/COM/ActiveX components. Cons: I share other reviewers in that this book seem to lack some depth in describing the example implementations fully. The part of the problem is that the book does not really give you the overview of the architecture of the MFC and its "in-house" conventions. Instead, the book dive straight into the tour of examples. Summary: This is a excellent introduction to learn how to use Visual C++ 5.0 with MFC, but this book will not give you an in-depth coverage of MFC. Manabu Tokunaga, ACUSON Corporation
