    Book Description
LEARN C NOW (ISBN: 1-55615-130-6), published by Microsoft Press in 1988 and still in print, is the bestselling book of its kind, with more than 250,000 copies sold. With the phenomenal popularity of Visual C++, we expect LEARN VISUAL C++ NOW to be an even stronger seller. Many programmers know they need to move to C++ but avoid making the jump-learning to program in an object-oriented language is not an easy thing to do. This book-and-CD tutorial includes a fully functional version of Microsoft Visual C++ and the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) library, providing everything necessary to get up to speed with the new object-oriented generation of the C language./p>
Reviews From AMAZON.COM
The title is a misnomer ...
The correct title should have been "Review Visual C++ Now." If you once knew MFC and needed some quick training wheels to get back on track, this book is very useful. But to start here at the beginning of the learning curve would be folly. I knew MFC a few years back and this book helped me as a quick refresher. For that, I give it 4 stars.
Don't have high expectations
This book tackles a lot of ground - perhaps too much - by glancing over explanations. It will teach you how to use an obsolete version of the Visual C++ product. It includes a good crash course in OO programming. But it bombs out trying to teach the basics of the MFC. I still don't understand 75% of the code I read. It's a good start, but most readers will have a long way to go with Visual C++.
