3.0 out of 5 stars Initially good but some examples hard to follow, 22 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I found the first 11 chapters easy to follow taking you through the basics of the C++ language. However, chapter 12 had an example program using classes to operate a simple calculator. Up to this point I had understood almost everything in the book. This example lost me completely and I still haven't got beyond this chapter after 3 readings.

1.0 out of 5 stars WORX stands for Worthless, 10 Feb 1998
By A Customer
I have yet to see a WROX book with any use. I gained more knowledge about MFC and Win programming with VC++ from a ream of copy paper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, 20 Oct 1997
By A Customer
After working w/ Microsoft's Scribble Tutorial and not having a clue as to what classes did what and WHY, I chose this book to walk me through C++ and then to introduce me to Windows MFC. This is an excellent intro to C++ - I've had no trouble running the examples. Horton also tells you the why's of the things you do unlike a lot of the cookbook approaches. He separates C++ from Windows by creating a lot of console applications which run similar to C programs which helps immensely. It also gives you a good introduction to MFC and Windows programming - you create Windows w/ and without MFC and C++'s AppWizard which gives you insight into Windows programming and classes. I highly recommend this book. I have experience writing C but had no knowledge of C++ and object oriented programming.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very hard to read, poor style, and buggy!
Compared to Schildt, Horton is a hack. I found this book very hard to read and finally gave up after 3 weeks of thrashing around. Read more
