If one book could take you from beginner to intermediate programmer, (in Visual C++) it would have to be Ivor Horton's "Beginning Visual C++ 6" or there are versions for VC++ 2005 and VC++ 2008. They are all basically the same except the newer ones add some odd chapters on WinForms and a small dose of .NET for completeness. First half of the book teaches C++, the second half is about Windows programming. MFC is the dominant class library used.

I don't think that there is single book which is the final reference of entire VC++ programming stuffs. From my experience, I recommend 4 books, by which you can pass most of the hurdles that a typical windows programmer will encounter. 1) If you are a beginner and want to learn the basics of windows programming then, - Programming Windows by Charles Petzold - Its a classic. 2) If you want the reference for MFC, then - Programming MFC by Jeff Prosise. 3) If you want to do some kernel stuff, then. - Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows by Jeffrey Richter. 4) If you want a reference for debugging, then - Debugging Applications by John Robbins.

thanx , now i want to know is there any differ between Visual C++ 6 & VC++ 2005 or ... other version actually. sometimes this very important to know this . rgds

Indeed. They differs a lot. 1) Visual Studio 2005 stays more close to C++ language specifications. Where in VC 6.0 you might miss some language features. For instance try-catch block in body of constructor. I couldn't compile it in my VC 6.0 SP5. 2) But don't under-estimate VC 6.0. I've to admit that VC 6.0 is one of the best IDE that ever build. You see, still its being used by lot of companies for lot of products. Its still popular now. 3) In VC++ 2005 supports .net platform where VC++ 6.0 don't. Have a look at Wiki[^] about the different versions of Visual C++. Regards, Jijo.
