1.0 out of 5 stars I hate it. May 7 2004
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
To summarize, I hate this book because you can't use it without reading it through from page one. I use this book for a class I am enrolled in. One of our projects is to build a simple windows game. So, I look up how to display a bitmap. Displayed are two lines of code along with the instructions "find the Form_1Paint function that handles Paint events". Where should I look? The instructions do not hint at where it is and certainly the function can't be found by searching the code. The only way to understand what they are talking about is to actually go through every tutorial in baby-step fashion because every page on the book tells you something such as "Continue with the CPPDraw application from the previous excersise" (p.365). Well I don't want to read the whole )@$#%ing book to find out how to draw a bitmap. When I finally do figure it out I am guessing I could show someone how to do it in 10 lines of code so they wouldn't have to read 100 pages of baby-step drivel. If you want to find out how to do any one thing in .Net with this book expect to have to spend several hours reading the previous 100 pages from where it is supposedly explained. Microsoft Press should consider making encryption a core of their business. They are really good at it.

2.0 out of 5 stars It's a decent try, at least Oct 6 2003
Format:Paperback
The book wades through managed C++ code, and it is very good. However, the author doesn't do a good job of maintaining consistency and explaining the code. I will credit the author for having very good OOP style, but the writing is far from satisfactory. Another thing to note is that the author does a good job of explaining Exception Handling, but in the early parts of the book, any reader can get easily confused.

2.0 out of 5 stars Microsoft Visual C++ Step by Step April 25 2003
Format:Paperback
Poorly written and not text book quality. Many code errors incorporated into text. If this is the best that Microsoft has to offer, it will seriously impeed their marketing efforts of .Net to academic institutions and student population.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much time on easy topics and too little on harder.
I found this book to be disappointing. Like so many other programming books it supposedly starts off at a pace for a beginner. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars C++
C++ user manual does not come with a Visual C++ software. this book is not good, but you have to buy it as the user's manual. Now you see microsoft's monopoly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, but many errors...
This is a good book if you are looking to take a step up from Console programming to more advanced stuff. It teaches you the new .NET features in a pretty effective manner. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Extremely poor
I was tempted to give this book 1 star, but it does give a small (if extremely inconsequential) introduction to Managed C++. Read more

If you're new to C++ and want a self paced instruction from which you plan to teach yourself the language, don't choose this book. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginner but too many errors
This is a great book for beginner even if I feel it's poor at my first glance. It covers essential materials that you should know about Managed C++ and .NET Framework. Read more

It's kinda scary that a book released by MS press about an MS product can have so many errors...

I gave up and returned my copy after I'd read about 40 pages because my... Read more
