3.0 out of 5 stars
Can't Recommend It,
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual C++ 5 Bible (Bible (Wiley)) (Paperback)
I got this book for the guys in our programming lab. Out of the entire book, only a few chapters turned out to be of any use. The database chapter, the internet programming chapter, and the imaging chapter gave information on the level that professional programmers need. Other chapters in the book seemed to be targeted at beginners, incongruous with the three good chapters. And still, other chapters were targeted at teaching the C++ language--curious for a book on Visual C++.

Good, but hard for readers who don't start at chapter 1.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual C++ 5 Bible (Bible (Wiley)) (Paperback)
This book is presented in a very linear fashion: you are expected to start at page 1 or run into difficulties. I myself was a complete beginner in the field of MFC etc. and the chapters on OOP in C++ (which I knew precious little about) were valuable. It is a good book for occasional bursts, but it is very compacted, explaining some points in ridiculous detail and not affording enough to others. I would recommend it only as a book to choose if you have read up about Visual C++ or C++ and find yourself in need of a recap.

Good in important areas,
By A Customer
This review is from: Visual C++ 5 Bible (Bible (Wiley)) (Paperback)
This book has a number of strong points that make it worth the purchase. Many Visual C++ books pander to the beginner level programmer. This book has some intro level material, but in a number of areas offers some meaty subjects for beginners and veterans alike. The memory management chapter is excellent. The Internet programming chapter cleared up many areas for me and I was able to implement a number of applications based on the code. The database chapter was very enlightening.If these areas interest you, get this book.
