Using Visual C++ 6

Here is a list of books that I bought last time I was shopping.>Using Visual C++ 6<p>>Using Visual C++ 6 (Special Edition Using...)<p>>Visual C++ 6 from the Ground Up<p>>Windows Telephony Programming<p>>Mastering Visual C++ 6<p>>Visual C++ 6 Programming Blue Book<p>>Beginning Visual C++ 6<p>First I have to tell you my profile so you can find out if my comment 'works' for you. I am Delphi programmer for about 4 years, I used to program in C for dos, pascal and bit in assembly. By the time of programming in Delphi I got experience in API.<p>I wanted to learn Visual C++. Well, I am not total beginner, at least not at programming, but in Visual C++ I am beginner, the only thing I could do in VC is to write and compile a little DLL to be used in Delphi. <p>Here is my opinion about this book. Among these 7 books this one is the best is "Using Visual C++ 6". It is example how other books should be written. <p>So "Using Visual C++ 6" - is my pick. Here is why: <p>It has example for every basic control. Examples are very small, which makes you remember example, and you can understand it well. Some things are not explained in detail, which is also good approach - too much details at the moment you are about to learn most important basic is not good. Details come by the time.<p>Not only examples and explanations are excellent. Organization of book is very helpful. Every important chapter has its goal. Every important paragraph has little notes on margins. This helps a lot later when you go back to remind yourself about how to do something, then you can read the Margin Text.<p>After the explanation, author gives you the information where in the book you can find more about the matter. So If you are interested in details he directs you right there. <p>NO OTHER book has such organised way or teaching. I will not comment other books here, I just wanted to say that this one is the best. And off course I have to say THANKS to authors, and I wish they make many other good books as they did this one.<p>Thanks you for reading too.

If U have the knowledge of VB, U will learn faster of VC++ from this book.This book started on a simple VC++ application to an advanced topics to use Database and Recordviews, OLE, COM and ActiveX, Windows API and SDK. There are simple follow examples of the above topics, by catching know how, we can apply the techniques to further on develop a good application.

I found this book very informative. All of the code was explained very well, especialy for beginners like myself. I especialy like the source code on how to write a screen saver that you can use for Windows! It even has a section at the end that that briefly touches the subject THAT IS, SDK!

I used this book to learn for the first time how to program c++ in windows .I think the author made marvelous job and wonderful way to learn visual C++.
