5.0 out of 5 stars Know a little, and this book will take you far, July 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Essential Visual C++4 (Essential Series) (Paperback)

If you know a bit about MFC developement and Visual C++, but need a handy reference on how to use a particular control or feature, this is the book to have. Small, concentrated chapters that cover independent topics concisely. Excellent book, IMHO. (Wish he'd update for v6.0 of the compiler!)

2.0 out of 5 stars I think the book is OK, October 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Essential Visual C++4 (Essential Series) (Paperback)

I think that the book should have explained more in detail. The book is for people who is advanced with C and knows a little about C++. Not for absolute beginners! The MFC tutorials are ok, it gives you only the basics though. I think the author could have done a lot better job, I think I could even explain it better.
