It contains the latest version of the MFC&T (Microsoft Foundation Classes & Templates) which has virtually become the Industry-wide library used to write Windows programs. Visual C++ 6 also contains the Active Template Library 3.0 ( ATL ) , which is a framework and collection of Wizards for writing ActiveX & COM controls. This book is a tutorial in use of all the major functions of Visual C++ 6.Proven teaching methods guarantee success to novice C++ programmers with a complete tutorial from 'vanilla' C++ , through to OO programming, Windows and using MFC&T. Each concept is supported by graduated code examples and the reader will be coherent in writing a real Windows program and controls by the end of the book.

Horton's experience at IBM includes programming in most languages (like assembler and high-level languages on a variety of machines), real-time programming, and designing and implementing real-time closed loop industrial control systems. He has extensive experience teaching programming to engineers and scientists (Fortran, PL/1, APL, etc.). Horton is an expert in mechanical, process, and electronic CAD systems; mechanical CAM systems; and DNC/CNC systems. He has spent many happy years programming occasionally useful applications in a variety of languages as well as teaching mainly scientists and engineers to do likewise. He has extensive experience in applying computers to problems in engineering design and to manufacturing operations in a wide range of industries.

This book is great for database programming, C++ basics and MFC programming.Ìý At the time I read thisÌýbookÌýI only knew C programming.Ìý This book was where I learned the fundamentals of object oriented programming.Ìý I also learned information that could be helpful in making database programs.Ìý If you already knowÌýC++you shouldn't bother with this book.Ìý If youÌýdon'tÌýknow C++, the first half of this book is excellent for learning about classes and other widely used C++ concepts.Ìý The second half of the book eases you into database programs.Ìý Although there are some errors in theÌýbookÌýall of the corrections are available on their web site.Ìý The code isÌýall downloadableÌýfrom their web site.Ìý Although the book is black and white, the contentÌýis presentedÌýin a manner that helps you skip sections your not interested in.Ìý The book includes several screen shots to help you.Ìý This book has the most humorous jokesÌýI'veÌýseen in a programming book.Ìý The code will only work on a Microsoft Visual C++ compiler that is greater than or equal to version 4.ÌýÌýI'veÌýscanned through the newest versions of this book.Ìý Each new version is longer and has more complex, yet useful programs.Ìý Part of Version 6 is availableÌýfor freeÌýin a web version with the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler.

I liked the examples demonstrated by the author. They were easy to follow and explain enough in depth to understand the syntax. One of the most helpful sections was explaining how to create com and atl components a flashback to the days of active x. The section on pointers and reference was very clear. I need a refresher course on the user interface controls and dlls creation.
Each idea has an code sample followed by an explanation of how the code works. This beginner way of learning is nice because it highlights the possibilities for more complex and advanced applications of the ideas, for example using function pointers in lambda expression and later in expression trees to evaluate complex equations
