"Windows programming is not difficult," observes well-respected author Ivor Horton in his book Beginning Visual C++ 6. "In fact, Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 makes it remarkably easy." Horton's treatment of Visual C++ continues the expert author's thorough and patient presentation of the best of today's object-oriented computer languages. (Besides C++, the author has written the excellent Beginning Java for Java developers). This massive, yet quite comprehensible, tutorial covers all the essential features of C++ used with Microsoft Visual C++ 6. Horton's book is the ideal choice for programmers who don't want to skimp on their general knowledge of C++. The author covers all the bases here in a title that will certainly compare favorably with any other Visual C++ tutorial on the market today. --Richard Dragan
"By using my book with Visual C++ 6.0, you'll come to understand the fundamentals of the C++ language and learn to program for Microsoft Windows.
First, I'll teach you C++ from first principles, using the new standard for the language in graduated examples. Then, using your newfound C++ knowledge, I'll show you how to build applications using the Microsoft Foundation Classes. You'll even see how to use the Active Template Library - the newest way to create controls.
It's a challenge, but you'll have great fun beating it. This is your first step into the world of real programming."
