Product Description

Synopsis
Visual C++ Introductory Edition Compiler is a complete version of Visual C++ 6 that Microsoft have developed to be packaged with tutorial books as a way to expand the customer base for Visual C++. The only notable difference between this version and the retail version is that the compiled programs are statically linked, meaning they are too large to be redistributed as complete applications, making this the perfect self study learning tool. This is the ideal stand alone tutorial set for programmers wishing to learn Visual C++ programming.

About the Author
After countless years in the computer industry both doing and managing, Ivor has taken up writing on programming topics for relaxation. When not relaxing, he takes an interest in cosmology, cacti, chaos and cameras, and does a little editing of other people's efforts on the side.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not at all what I was expecting, 22 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I must say I was disappointed when I got this and the compiler it included is an Introductory Compiler. Whenever you compile any program it pops up a nice little window that informs you that your license agreement does not allow you to redistribute your programs. This bothers me somewhat because when I develop programs I like to compile and test each new bit of code that I add. The book on the other hand dives right in and if you have no programming background then you will feel like you are drowning in information. However, the author does do an adequate job of explaining what he is trying to teach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Answer to: Not at all what I was expecting, 31 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I've given the book 5 stars simply because the contents have been '4 & 5' starred by many others already (see ISBN 186100088X)I have to say it that way because I was editorially involved with the book. That said, I'm specifically answering the US reader who rated the book but hated the Compiler...There was very minor 'doctoring' of the Compiler: you have to run programs within the product; it had a 'nag screen' come up when you compile and, for Windows programmers, a statically linked MFC( Microsoft Foundation Classes)which gave normal, but fatter code than the full priced product.Other than those caveats you're getting a $100, Visual C++ product, for close to zilch. This thing will compile workaday C++ code; giving you console apps or Windows apps.It has all the normal development Wizards and debugging assistance and has a big fat on-line help library to refer too. I'm not a "Microsoftie" but I think that's a very generous (unlimited) access to a pro developer's tool.

Still,I appreciate your desire for more freedom of usage - maybe the powers that be are listening.
