Morning/afternoon/evening all,
I'm an experienced but rusty C programmer looking for an alternative to
Visual C++, so I can get up to speed on C++ (specifically Windows32 & MFC
variants). The DMC++ CD looks like exactly what I need, and I noticed there
are tutorials included on the CD.
Would these included tutorials assist me in
a) Learning C++ using my C knowledge as a foundation
b) Developing Win32 apps
c) Learning basic MFC concepts.
In the event the tutorials/documentation aren't that in-depth, what book or
books should I be looking at to complement the compiler?
Regards,
Steve

Not quite, get a C++ book on amazon.com for that.b) Developing Win32 apps
Yes.c) Learning basic MFC concepts.

Several, check amazon.com for the different subjects. Jan

My opinions only C++ - Stroustrup, Meyers and, when advanced a fair bit, Sutter. Also, since all of those are either a bit advanced or a bit dry, subscribe to C/C++ User's Journal, http://cuj.com MFC - the one and only Kruglinski's Inside Visual C++. I have version 4, and it is still relevant. Also Code Project http://codeproject.com COM - Inside OLE for the (very) brave; Essential COM for the experienced; can't think of a good intro level one as COM is quite an undertaking for the first couple of years Win32 - Petzold and Richter. Also, subscribe to Windows Developer Magazine. http://wd-mag.com/ This is by far the most accessible magazine in the industry "Steve Doherty" <steved_2k hotmail.com> wrote in message news:ap2bgg$2if3$1 digitaldaemon.com...Morning/afternoon/evening all, I'm an experienced but rusty C programmer looking for an alternative to Visual C++, so I can get up to speed on C++ (specifically Windows32 & MFC variants).

My Opinion too: wd-mag has changed from a 5mm thick "Journal" to a 2mm thick magazine. Not much worth nowadays after Ron Burk departed.

The tips are still good, and the occasional article. However, maybe I'm biased, as I have had lots of Tips printed in it, and have four articles coming up in the next 6 months. Feel free to give me your opinion when they come out ... Certainly agree with you on the size issue, and that it is a shame.

My subscriptions run out this month and I don't intend to renew it. I'll see what I can read from the Net what it comes out....Certainly agree with you on the size issue, and that it is a shame.
This is the unfortunate thing with the mag sold to CMP. CMP is good at taking a good legendary publication and screw it up altogether. The most classical example is BYTE!!! Now they are stuffing up WDJ. Next CUJ? Just my biased opinion...

They let you join windevnet.com for free, and then you can access most material online.Certainly agree with you on the size issue, and that it is a shame.

I'd be *very* unhappy if that happened!Just my biased opinion...

And getting big purple T-shirt if you contribute something? :-) I still wear my purple WDJ T-shirt sometimes...The most classical example is BYTE!!! Now they are stuffing up WDJ. Next CUJ?

The problem is Microsoft is now publishing MSDN magazine..... Unless one is developing on "other" OS, you cannot afford not to read MSDN stuff. Down under, we don't have much in the MS arena but on Linux side, there's plenty of developers though. Samba and SSLeay are locals...

For a jumpstart C++ buy: "Accelerated C++" by Andrew Koenig en Barbara Moo ISBN 0-201-70353-X And for a complete c++ book buy Stroustrup's "The C++ Programming Language"Morning/afternoon/evening all, I'm an experienced but rusty C programmer looking for an alternative to Visual C++, so I can get up to speed on C++ (specifically Windows32 & MFC variants).
