5.0 out of 5 stars
Very informative, a great learning book.,
By Pergesu (Naples, Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Visual C++ 5 in 21 Days, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
Yes, this book may be somewhat repetitive, yes, it may not go over some of the newer technologies in great detail, but what do you expect from a book meant for total beginners? I found this book very easy to understand. It brings you from a know-nothing wannabe-programmer to being somewhat knowledgable in the realm of programming. It covers the basics, I/O, buttons, menus, ActiveX controls, and so forth. The book may be repetitive, but it gets everything in your head. Also, the excercises at the end of each chapter are great, and are an excellent tool to help enforce what you just learned. I would recommend this for anyone who wants to learn Visual C++.

2.0 out of 5 stars
A bad choice for beginning Windows programming,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Visual C++ 5 in 21 Days, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This book gets two stars only because of the appendix, which was a decent C++ tutorial. However, for learning Windows programming, this book is awful. It uses MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes), which is a terrible place to start. Even Microsoft won't use this technology.I recommend 'Windows NT 4 Programming from the Ground Up', by Herb Schildt. It uses the Windows API functions, which is a must learn for any Windows programmer. Also, I recommend exploring other books for C++ tutorial. Jesse Liberty's 'Learn C++ in 21 days' book is a decent book if you are just getting started. This book should be called 'Learn MFC programming in 21 days', as the current title is quite misleading.

Great Starting Point!,
By Jeffrey E Fann (Greenville, SC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Visual C++ 5 in 21 Days, Fourth Edition (Paperback)
This book does a great job of getting a novice C++ programmer to the point of writing useful windows programs. While it cleary lacks some depth in explaining C++ concepts, C++ is not what it intends to teach. It's a Visual C++ guide. If you want to quickly have knowledge in making basic windows applications, and have some C++ background this is a wonderful resource.
