Microsoft Visual C++.NET

Summary: For C++, possibly good - for .NET knowledge, thumbs down
Review: I have the first edition of this book. If you are looking for a book that presents the new features of .NET in VC++ this isn't the book for you. This book covers the aspects of C++ only (touching on some MFC (blech). There are better books out there for learning C++, and there are better .NET books out there than this. Pass on this one.

Review: My CIS class uses it. The book is basically a rip-off. Half the times the instructions in the book don't work and you have to figure out things yourself. I returned the book two days after I bought it.
