4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting but tries to be too broad,

This review is from: Teach Yourself Visual C++ 5 in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself...) (Paperback)
It's a solid introduction to MFC programming but don't plan on learning C++ from it. I would rather have a book dedicated to MFC in more depth than a book that tries to explain C++ concepts in a few paragraphs. If you know nothing about C++ do yourself a favour and grab a good C++ book as a companion to this.

It is OK, but not very clear,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Visual C++ 5 in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself...) (Paperback)
I kind of agree the first comment. The flow of this book is not that smooth. Since I didn't have any experience with MS Windows programming, so it took me more that 4 hours to read each chapter and experience the examples(After that, I feel very tired). And most of the time you have to guess HOWTO do something you want. I don't know about other books, so that's why I give a three start to this book!!!

'Teach Yourself' because the book doesn't,
By A Customer
This review is from: Teach Yourself Visual C++ 5 in 24 Hours (Sams Teach Yourself...) (Paperback)
This is the worst computer related book I have ever read. Each chapter introduces some topic of C/C++ programming(variable in one, functions in another, etc.) almost at random. The rest of the chapter will introduce a new topic of Windows programming using Visual C++. The problem is that it doesn't teach anything. Williams simply walks through the steps he takes to make a program without explaining why he is doing it or what predefined functions and classes mean. His method of teaching is so bad that the material that I am already familiar with makes very little sense. Bottom line: This book is of little to no help in teaching Visual C++.
