2.0 out of 5 stars never really got off the ground..., November 3, 2003
By A Customer
I bought this book because I was desperate to learn VC++ and the most current version of Visual Studio while I was at it. I consider myself to be a good C++ programmer, but feel lost when it comes to VisualC++. The book started off okay: she walks you through some simple SDI (Single Document Interface) programs. Unfortunately, she starts using the Wizard right away and I couldn't understand much of the code that it generates. She tries to explain some of the Wizard code, but it was never good enough for me. I quickly got lost and never seemed to recover. If you're the type of programmer who doesn't need to understand everything and can cope with tweaking existing programs to see how things work, then this book can work for you. If you're like me on the otherhand and tend to get lost in other people's code very easily, this book might not be the best. After reading only a few chapters, I gave up.

I think I've found a good book for total VC++ beginners like me: "Introduction to MFC programming" by Richard M. Jones. The major problem I have with Jones' book is that it uses an old version of Visual C++ and therefore, there's no .NET stuff. I've had to make some changes to the code in Jones' book to get my programs to work, but if I can figure out the necessary changes, so can you. Maybe that's one good thing about Kate Gregory's book: her code always works, and you get to use the latest version of Visual Studio.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not really VC++.NET..., March 23, 2004
By Brian Maula "Brian" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book, at first surprised me with the title. I first thought that is is a book on VC++.NET 2003, I was surprised to find out that it focuses on MFC. However, I don't take that away from the book. The book starts off with MFC, while I don't agree, it has its reasons. Managed code abstracts a lot of the low-level COM programming for you, to really build Win32 apps, you need to know MFC/COM first. Managed code is built-up from MFC/COM, and in Visual C++.NET, you're going to need to use both MFC/COM and .NET.

Good things? Unlike the Osborne book, it doesn't spend 2/3 of the book explaining C++ concepts. The bad thing? It's more of a "How to" on VC++.NET usage rather than writing managed code. Would I recommend it? Depends. If you're looking for just managed code, no. But if you want to learn MFC fundamentals and then move up to managed code, then I'd say yes. Even though I bought the book mistakening the title for something it's not, it will remain in my library because of its value in unmanaged and managed coding.

1.0 out of 5 stars MFC, January 3, 2006
By KB (Illinois) - See all my reviews
Save your money. It's mostly about MFC and there are much, much better books out there about MFC. The references to the .NET platform are too casual to be of much value.
