Tom Archer recomended me a awesome book: Visual C++ .Net Step By Step by Julian Templeman & Andy Olsen Al
I didn't realize you bought it then? Great to hear that you're enjoying it! Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# A total abstainer is one who abstains from everything but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.

Just wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of a good book or a good website about MC++ [except the MSDN].
:~ (-_-) :~
Just realize that it's a beginner-level MC++ book. Me personally I enjoy the tutorial, step-by-step approach. There are times when you have to wade through "this is a variable" type sections, but the majority of the book is great for getting you up and running very quickly with MC++.

Tom Archer wrote: There are times when you have to wade through "this is a variable" type sections I skip chapters quite often when I am reading a programming book. Once in a while I am forced to come back. Then there is also a disturbing fact, that I have never really completed going through a book. Half way through I decide I can do the rest of it on my own with MSDN help and throw away the book into the old pile Nish

I think Ivor Horton's "Beginning Visual C++ 6" a nice book to guide you to familiar with the IDE of VC (how to use the development tool, ex. ClassView, FileView, ResourceView, ClassWizard, WizardBar, ProjectSetting, debugging tools, ...). But if you decide to read this book, you should keep it in mind: there're too many errors in this book. There're more than 200 entries in the errata! Maxwell Chen

I bought the book on Tom Archer's recommendation. It is a great book for a C++ programmer wanting to move over to managed C++. Highly recommended. Michael :-) Communication is the first step towards enlightenment.

$39.99, save $10 dollars at Amazon and please use the Amazon link in CodeProject so Chris and team get some money ;)

Cool. Lemme know if you like it or not. When people ask me to refer books I like also to not only give my opinion of the book, but let them know of other programmer's responses - whether or not its different than mine.

I get lucky like that every once and again :) Sort of like my investment firm's practice of deciding my stocks based on having monkeys throw darts at a copy of the Wall Stree Journal pinned to the wall :laugh: Cheers, Tom Archer Author, Inside C# A total abstainer is one who abstains from everything but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.
