Hello, I am interested in learning how to use the program, Microsoft Visual C++, I am familiar* with C++ syntax and I currently use the DevC++ compiler.

My school is not offering any windows programming classes this upcoming winter semester. So, I have to wait a year before I can take any classes on windows programming. I’m tired of making programs that run in a “dos shell’ and I want to start making GUIs for my programs.

Could anyone recommend a BEGNNER book on windows programming in C++?
