Learn Visual C++ Now: Teach Yourself Microsoft Visual C++ the Quick and Easy Way (Learn Now)

Rating:
Summary: The title is a misnomer ...
Review: The correct title should have been "Review Visual C++ Now." If you once knew MFC and needed some quick training wheels to get back on track, this book is very useful. But to start here at the beginning of the learning curve would be folly. I knew MFC a few years back and this book helped me as a quick refresher. For that, I give it 4 stars.

Summary: Out of date. Not a great book by any means.
Review: This book deals with ancient versions of Visual C++ and is useless today. It provides neither a sound introduction to windows programming or a smooth transition from other tools to Visual C++

Rating:
Summary: Don't have high expectations
Review: This book tackles a lot of ground - perhaps too much - by glancing over explanations. It will teach you how to use an obsolete version of the Visual C++ product. It includes a good crash course in OO programming. But it bombs out trying to teach the basics of the MFC. I still don't understand 75% of the code I read. It's a good start, but most readers will have a long way to go with Visual C++.
