Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-23 00:00:00 Joseph Deacon Davis Chapman, Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 in 21 Days (Sams, 1998) I got through it in twenty-nine days. Not too shabby, considering there are weekends in there and I went through it at work. This is certainly a worthwhile introduction to the basics of VC++ for those who at least have a surface understanding of the language already (I think the straight C++ review in Appendix A may be a little too abstract for the hardcore newbie). Much of what the basic C++ programmer needs to know in order to create working programs in VC++ is covered with competence. There are a few areas of Windows-specific programming the author could have discussed in greater depth (especially more advanced graphics programming than the usual drawing program), but those faults are common to most books about VC++, and have existed since the first books on the first release of the program. Very good for those moving over to VC++, especially from command-line-based platforms. *** ½

Review # 2 was written on 2011-12-18 00:00:00 Hector Perez I only read "the first week" part and It was somehow useful for me. Full of graphics and photos which make It easy to understand and comprehend.
