Peter D. Hipson, What Every Visual C++ 2 Programmer Should Know (Sams, 1994)What Every Visual C++ 2 Programmer Should Know is the perfect compliment to Gurewich and Gurewich's Master Visual C++ 2 . Both put out by Sams in the same year. Coincidence? Probably not. Everything the Gurewich book lacks is covered here. The detail and amount of code examples is lacking in comparison, but given the topics covered, that's an excusable oversight.What Every Visual C++ 2 Programmer Should Know looks at the more advanced features of Microsoft's primary development platform: programming with Unicode, OLE, ODBC, multithreading, etc. It's more a reference book than a how-to manual, but the user who's followed and mastered the Gurewichs' book should already have enough coding under his belt to integrate the information presented here without much trouble. The two books, taken together, provide the best introduction to Visual C++ 2 on the market, and are highly recommended for those still programming in DOS/Win3.x/Win95. *** ½
