Visual C++ Books
Has anyone ever heard of these two books:
1. Begginning Visual C++
By: Ivor Horton
2. Programming Microsoft Visual C++
By: Microsoft Press
I'm trying to decide which one to buy. The only thing that has me is, MSVC++ 6.0 was made by Microsoft, so the book by Microsoft had ought to be good, eh? Except...Beginning Visual C++ has 15 reviews at Barnes & Nobles compared to 3 reviews for the Microsoft book. Also, Beginning Visual C++ is 2,000 while the Microsoft's book's sales rank is 8,000. I'm kind of leaning toward Beginnning Visual C++, just wanting to know what you guys think. THanks

You should try "C++ from Scratch" It is really good if you have some basic programming knowledge and want to start using C++. That book is also mainly for Visual C++. I have that Ivor Horton one, but I didn't really like how it was written because it was like most programming books that tell you some very basic stuff and 2 pages later expect you to know everything about the language
