I'm relatively new to C/C++, though I've been programming in a variety of other languages for a couple of years now and I learn rather quickly.
Can anyone recommend a good Visual C++ book for me?
Should I even bother with Visual C++ yet?

You shouldn't bother with Visual C unless you already know the C/C++ langauge (IEC/ISO definition). Not only that, but since you have VC++6.0, when you upgrade to VS.NET you will likely want to use the .NET Framework Class Library. If you have Win2k OS and VS.NET Beta 2 than it would be worthwhile to work through the SDK. There is not much literature out there yet but understanding the .NET architecture takes some time.
As far as straight C++ books are concerned go for:
If you have trouble with these (all comprehensive) texts than work on a C textbook. Ther eare hundreds of them, for example the previously mentioned 'C Primer Plus'.Quote:
