4.0 out of 5 stars Get off to a running start with Visual Studio 6, September 11, 1998

If you are a C++, programmer, or a Visual Basic Programmer, or A Visual FoxPro Programmer, or a Web Page Builder, you will benefit from this "all in one" comprehensive Programmer's guide. Written for one who has some programming background, you will be up and running in any of the four languages covered, writing your own custom classes, web based databases, and much more. A must for the Microsoft Applications programmer, and the beginner as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great reference utility, July 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft Visual Studio Core Reference Set (Microsoft Professional Editions) (Paperback)

This reference set provides the reader with a complete guide to the controls used in each of the 5 programming languages. Even though a majority of the material is taken from the MSDN cd-roms, their is never a substitute for having a physical book in your hand to look at as you go. The MSDN online reference is much more confusing and is not organized nearly as well. Anyone that is looking to have a set of books to use as reference/referral to common functions should definitely get this complete set. All this needed was more code samples to get my 5 star vote.

It's a great selection on cutting edge programming tools. I would like to have a 36 hours day to keep learning on this. I recommend from beginners to advanced progammers.
