Teach Yourself Visual C++ 5 in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself)

Summary: good intro to Visual C++ for VB and C++ programmer
Review: I am new to Window Programming, and the project I suppose to accomplish needs to be written under Visual C++ environment. I found this book easy to read; however, I think that it would take longer than 24 hours to finish and understand everything in the book including the excercises. If you do not do the exercise you probably will finish the book in 24 hours, but you have missed the important point. Of course this is not a book for Advance Visual C++ programmer.

Summary: Interesting but tries to be too broad
Review: It's a solid introduction to MFC programming but don't plan on learning C++ from it. I would rather have a book dedicated to MFC in more depth than a book that tries to explain C++ concepts in a few paragraphs. If you know nothing about C++ do yourself a favour and grab a good C++ book as a companion to this.

Summary: If you are a beginner, don't buy it !!!
Review: This book is really great, it actually teaches you Visual C++ in 24 hours. It would be a good idea to learn a bit of C++ before you get started. Great for just looking up some specific topic

Summary: GREAT BOOK
Review: YOU MAY NOT DO IT IN 24 HOURS, BUT YOU WILL LEARN IF YOU START AT THE BEGINNING AND READ TO THE END. MIGHT BE A IDEA TO GET MSN'S VISUAL C++ COMPILER IF YOU DON'T ALREADY HAVE IT. STILL, IF YOU WANT TO WALK A LITTLE B4 TRYING TO RUN IN 24 HOURS, LOOK AT JAMSA'S C/C++ BIBLE. IN THAT BOOK, YOU GET IT ALL! p.s. I didn't write it, just liked it.
