3.0 out of 5 stars
Addition to the July 9, 2000 review,
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Borland C++ Builder 4 in 24 Hours (Paperback)
This book is a good introduction to using Borland Builder 4, and it comes with a 60-day trial version of the program. But it contains some flaws. Some of the step-by-step instructions are incorrect or missing. And the sections on Visual Components and Window controls go into great detail about what these components and controls do, but does not give any instructions/examples about how to use them in a program. I actually found that the Borland C++ Builder 3 for DUMMIES by Jason Vokes to be much better in showing how to use Visual Components and Window Controls in programs. Neither the Borland Builder in 24 Hours nor the Borland C++ Builder 3 for DUMMIES is perfect, but together these two books provide a good introduction to using Borland Builder. You can use the Borland Builder 4 in 24 Hours as a guide to building simple, single document or multiple document interface Window programs. And then you can use the Borland C++ Builder 3 for DUMMIES for more instructions/examples or how to use various Visual Components and Window controls in your programs. The book shows how to use the following components: label, editbox, panel, memo, combobox, buttons, maskedit, shape, grid, imagelist, listview and treeview, dialog boxes, and etc. The DUMMIES book also has chapters on debugging, C++ exceptions and database programming (you would need the Professional version of Borland Builder to do database programming; this version has the database components needed to create programs that can access databases).

Great for beginners!,

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Borland C++ Builder 4 in 24 Hours (Paperback)
This book is by know means an in-depth view of C++ or C++ Builder 4. It simply cuts to the chase. I am an Visual Basic programmer struggling to learn C++. This book was ideal for me. It explained essential topics and I was able to be up and running with C++ Builder in hours. The authors humor was refreshing to all those other very dry C++ books that I've choked down. Thank you Kent Reisdorph, Brian Gill and thank you Borland for a best C++ tool to date.

Don't leave MS VC++ without it!,

This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Borland C++ Builder 4 in 24 Hours (Paperback)
Excellent intro to C++Builder. Thorough, patient, well-paced, informative. Required if you are a newbie to Builder. I used it to learn the new Builder 5.0 and found no problems. (A small part of this book is an intro to C++. It is too small -- but that's okay. There are plenty of good books out there on C++. I like Herb Schildt's work.)
