Customer Reviews

Get programming fast!

This is the best book out there for beginners or even intermediates. The style is clear and easy to read, and the examples really help you to get up to speed fast. I still refer to it frequently. Definitely worth it!

good book to begin programming VC++

It hasn't got many examples, the code is redundant but if you are a beginner, this is one of the best books you can start with.

a fantastic book ever read!

I recommend all of you programmers, hackers, teachers, students, to buy this book and read it as soon as possible. It is valuable, and informative.-Chuong Nguyen-

Wish I would have bought Steven Holzner's book first

I just finished Steven Holzner's "Advanced Visual C++ 5 and consider it to be one of the best books on the subject. I put it right up there with Petzold and Richter and highly suggest that if you want to learn VC++, get all 3 of these books. Petzold & Richter to understand what's going on and Holzner to get a lot of walk though workable samples to start programming quickly. I find the previous review to be hard to believe since Holzners book was the first book I bought out of about a dozen that I was able to build every sample without any modifications, unlike Petzold and Richter which required a little knowlege of the VC++ environment.
