Product Description
This complete reference/tutorial was based on the authors' successful college-level and corporate training courses. It gets readers up and running quickly by covering the Visual C++ environment, then progresses to C/C++ programming fundamentals as they relate to Visual C++/. It also covers the complete details of Windows 95/NT program development with both traditional procedure-oriented techniques and object-oriented techniques using the MFC library.

From the Back Cover

1.0 out of 5 stars C/C++ book not a VC++ book., July 31, 1998
By A Customer
This book mainly covered C/C++. Only a small part of the book covered VC++. The book contains typos and the authors seemed to have left out needed info for the VC++ examples. Maybe the 2nd edition would be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars C to C++, February 20, 2002
By A Customer
This book is good for a programmer wanting to convert C code to C++ code. The writers show many examples of how to do the same program in C and in C++.

It really helped me with cin and cout stuff and formatting.

There's really no meat to the book, they show you an example, then say "that was an example of how to do it." The examples are not even that good, either. Read more
