Rating:  - Rushed, mangled, and a waste of money
This book is a bunch of rushed ideas and statements( no thought), and the
whole book is in rushed jibber-jabber. They keep indicating that you will
learn this later, and that. Later comes and you never learn it. It is quite amazing to me how they could have fill the many pages (600+) of the book with filibuster garggle. Do not buy this book. You won't be able to pace yourself and follow along (it's a disorganized mess), and you will not learn anything, and will waste your money. Whoever ... Read More
Rating: - Good other Book
This book seems to be exactly a C++ for Microsoft software step by step. If you do not understand the computer program, expect to want a teach yourself book for the same Visual C++. However, this book starts you off writing a program in the start of the book. I found other books that expect one to read the whole book before you even touch the software. This book seems to be split between a lesson and a manual, but more like the manual only that could come with the software from Microsoft Press. This ... Read More
Rating:  - Not much to it......
I agree with a previous reviewer who said that the authors didn't pay much attention to who the target audience was for this book.
It starts off like a C++ book, then you have some .NET stuff thrown in (ofcourse, you are not told why you need them, its like "This is a .NET book, and there has to be some .NET material!!"). I have been programming in C++ for quite long, and I thought I could progress to .NET with this one. I was wrong. The book doesnt even take time off to explain what "Managed" ... Read More
Rating:  - Good book for intermediate C++ & new to .NET
Step by Step is a good description of what this book is about. While it would be very helpful to have some prior C++ experience, you could probably just have a copy of .NET and this book, and get alot out of it. However, if you are experienced in Visual C++.NET, this book would be of little use. It would be impossible to comprehensively cover all of the topics addressed in this book in it's < 600 pages, but it gives, in my opinion, and great introduction to some of C++.NET's features. I found the ... Read More
Rating: - OK Book but just an overview
This book was recommended to me because I was coming from a Borland environment. I have been struggling to get into windows development and finding resources that are instructional to someone that has written many Console based apps, and is pretty knowledgable in OOP, has become a nightmare. Most of the books I have found are made toward beginers, and they all reitterate the same information for beginners. I almost believe that the writers out there either don't understand the languages themselves, or ... Read More
