One of the BEST programming Books

This is one of the best programming books, written to help anyone understand the basic components of C++, and Windows programming. Out of the 500 programming books currently in my collection this one is the jewel of them all.

Excellent Book

After working w/ Microsoft's Scribble Tutorial and not having a clue as to what classes did what and WHY, I chose this book to walk me through C++ and then to introduce me to Windows MFC. This is an excellent intro to C++ - I've had no trouble running the examples. Horton also tells you the why's of the things you do unlike a lot of the cookbook approaches. He separates C++ from Windows by creating a lot of console applications which run similar to C programs which helps immensely. It also gives you a good introduction to MFC and Windows programming - you create Windows w/ and without MFC and C++'s AppWizard which gives you insight into Windows programming and classes. I highly recommend this book. I have experience writing C but had no knowledge of C++ and object oriented programming.
