Summary: Visual C++ 5 for Dummies
Review: Excellent source for explaining Visual C++. It is very popular here at work. Coworkers have borrowed 2 copies months ago and they haven't been returned.

Summary: Worked for me
Review: I bought this book because i needed a language program to do a College work. The book was cheap and i could get the software (Visual C++) then i bought the book. My work had a pretty decent grade, so i think the book is good, but in this moment is obsolet considering the new programming languages (Java, etc.)and new software.

Review: Let's see, how do I say this?! I did not have ANY programming experience when I first bought this book, I was just simply interested in programming. I got a clear messgae on what programming is, and how to do it. This book starts of in 'Visual C++' by teaching you how ouse the AppWizard, then it goes to 'C++ programming', giving you a brief intro to the language itself. With all considered, the book should be titled 'C++ using VC++ for Dummies'. There is hardly anything on ActiveX controls or other visual development. Try it out for yourself, you might like it!

Review: This book is pretty good if you don't know anything on programming, but if you have any programming experience (say VB5 or C++ if only a little) then you are not looking for this book. It does not deliver much on WINDOWS programming, most of the examples are not Windows programs.
