Summary: Great book!
Review: It is absolute a great book for beginer and intermediate Visual C++ programmers involved with MFC. The examples are well illustrated and easy to follow/understand! It covers most of the Visual C++ 6 Child Controls. Of course, this book is for programmers with subtantial knowledge of C++. Great book to buy!

Summary: Not good
Review: My Background: intermediate programming skills in several languages incl. C, C++, Pascal, IDL, Matlab and more. But no experience with real Windows programming (except Visual Basic). I bought the book to learn Windows GUI programming - still not convinced that I should chooes MFC and not Qt, fltk or something else.This book is not worth the money. Things are made so easy that they become difficult. A lot of useless text, sometimes very detailed descriptions of non-important things, and very shallow description of important ones. A lot of cross-references to paragraphs and chapters without numbering of header. If you think MFC seems difficult - don't buy this book. You'll be even more confused. It can't help you. I'll go by another tomorrow.

Summary: Beginners!!Beginners!! only book
Review: This book certainly explains how to develop a Visual C++ application and not a C++ app. The Author has explained the steps in a well-ordered manner. This book teaches about how to use the MFC objects and does not teach C++. One should be familiar with c++ and its concepts. Otherwise this will book will be a nightmare. The phase of this book is also good. I had covered 6 Chapters in one day. Definitely this is not a book for advanced developers.

Summary: WARNING! Renamed "USING VISUAL C++"
Review: This books is exactly the same as the Using Visual C++ 6(Not the Special Editions) by the same authors. That is the reason I can only give it 3 stars. Other than that, it is a great book to teach the basics of Visual C++ 6.

Summary: Good book, Focuses on how to use the IDE to access MFC
Review: This is a great book for learning how to use the VC++6 software, and in so doing, gain an understanding of how to use the easy stuff (like controls). It doesn't do a lot to teach the syntax of C++, so if you want to know the key to the language, this isn't the book for you. If you want a genuinely first class tutorial on how to use the VC++6 software, this is it. And surprise surprise, what code there is actually works (anyone who's read a few computer books knows how rare that is!). To say that it will teach you intermediate C++ in a few chapters is however an exageration. I've read some other C++ books (and been programming several years in other languages) and as far as the actual C++ language goes, this book is about as basic as it gets. But even so, it's a great tutorial for the software and intro to basic MFC.

Summary: Great book
Review: This is an excellent book on teaching how to crossover from a UNIX programming environment to Windows. If you've been confused by MSDN Documentation I would highly recommend this book, as it gives tips on style, windows classes, etc. The book assumes you know c++, especially classes and pointers are helpful too.

Summary: A Great Book, Plain and Simple
Review: This is the book to buy if you want to learn Visual C++ 6. It explains VC++ in a comprehensive and direct way. No sidelines, no roundabouts. Just good plain learning, well written and worth you time. Within the first few chapters I was programming intermediate VC++ code using MFC thanks to this books presentation.

Summary: WARNING! Renamed: Using Visual C++
Review: Warning: This books is Using Visual C++(ISBN: 0789716356) renamed to a new title. Seems like the Author or Que wanted this book to not be confused with the Special Edition Using Visual C++, so they renamed it. This is the reason for only 3 stars. Other than that, it is a excellent text on the basics of Visual C++ 6.
