Visual C++ in 12 Easy Lessons/Book and Cd-Rom

Rating:
Summary: This is the best C++ book I have encountered.
Review: A very good book for someone beggining Visual C++. The Authors do a good job of keeping your attention and this is the least boring technical book I have ever read. I strongly recommend it for someone wanting to learn Visual C++. I am 14 years old and I read it in three weeks.

Summary: the PERFECT beginners book
Review: this book is excellent for beginners to the world of programming, not just new to C++. it teaches you everything from general concepts of how code works, but it works you up to advanced programs. the layout of the book couldnt be better. it has 12 units (hence the title) divided into sections. the last section in a unit summarizes what you have learned during the unit. anyone that is looking for "the perfect C++ book", this is the one!

Summary: Good book marred by a few imperfections
Review: This is a great book, but it suffers from a few typing errors. For instance, on their tear out guide, the maximum values for floating point variables is listed twice. Other than that, the book presents the material in a well thought out, organized manner.
