Book Reviews of Ivor Horton's Beginning Visual C++ 2005 (Programmer to Programmer)
Book Review: Very readable intro to Visual C++
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent, readable, and comprehensive intro to Visual C++ for folks with a smattering of programming knowledge. You don't have to have any C++ experience to use this book, but I do recommend that if you are an absolute beginner to the world of computer programming, you pick up an easier book, say, COBOL for Dummies. I bought this book as a refresher...I've done Visual Basic for years and want to go back to something closer to the machine level--I miss the granularity and sheer power of C++ and I'm tired of the slowness of the .Net line and their buggy frameworks. These Horton C++ books exhibit a friendly and relaxed writing style: I find most programming texts too terse and psychotic for my taste. I picked up a more advanced text from Wrox, Professional C++, to get back to the intermediate level later on and I will get the Stroustrup and Myers texts to help me cross the threshhold of advanced C++ development once again.
If you are truly new to C++, don't get discouraged with the many battles you'll encounter ahead...the payoff down the line is very great if you can master this Maserati of programming languages. Don't believe all the negative talk you hear about C++...most of this comes from folks who lack true mastery of the C++ language and how to use it effectively (C++ goes where C#, Java, and VB will never ever go). The Horton books will take much of the pain away--work quickly through this book and maybe try out the Dietel books simultaneously to get a jump start on your fellow C++ students! Good luck!
