5.0 out of 5 stars No MFC?
MFC is old school. If it covers .NET, then it is a Visual C++ book.

I would give any Dietel & Dietel book 5 stars. They are the absolute best books available for learning the programming languages they teach, with their thorough coverage of specific topics and their chapter summaries, exams, and practice problems.

1.0 out of 5 stars not pleased
I think this book is misnamed. It is all about C++ programming - there are dozens of good books on that subject. It talks a little about windows console (DOS Style) programs, but it never addresses programming for windows applications. Too Bad!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly Mislead Title, November 14, 2008
This review is from: Visual C++ 2008 How to Program (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
It talks C++ using visual C++. NO WINDOW PROGRAMING AT ALL ( in indeed, the title didn't say WINDOW at all, clever ? ).

1.0 out of 5 stars Why that title?, April 7, 2008
This review is from: Visual C++ 2008 How to Program (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This is not a Visual C++ book. It is the first time I'm disapointed about a book from Deitel& Deitel. I was looking for a Visual C++ book, and there is not even a chapter about MFC. I bought many years ago "C++ How to Program" from Deitel & Deitel, and this new book is just a new Edition of the "C++ How To Program"

I highly recommend "Java How To Program" and "C++ How to Program", but if you are looking for something in Visual C++, don't buy "Visual C++ 2008 How to Program" or you will end up returning it.
