It also depends what type of development you'll be doing with it. If you're going to be using MFC (which is pretty likely) then I can recommend Jeff Prosise's Programming Windows with MFC 2nd ed. But I'd definitely get a book on general C++ programming first, to get the language thing under your belt and sorted first. -- Paul "Put the key of despair into the lock of apathy. Turn the knob of mediocrity slowly and open the gates of despondency - welcome to a day in the average office." - David Brent, from "The Office" MS Messenger: paul@oobaloo.co.uk Sonork: 100.22446

Along with any books on programing with MFC, you should look at all the great totorials on this site. As well as those presented at other sites dedicated to programing. Trust in the code Luke. Yea right!

I think you should learn a little Win32 before you move on to MFC so you get a better idea of what's going on. Try Charles Petzold: Programming Windows 5th edition. I jumped into Ivor Horton's book at the beginning but was lost with all the pre-made code with MFC so I tried Win32 and I like it so much that I stuck with it.

Sorry some thing went wacked while I was trying to replay to this.:mad: Let's try agian.:) You jumped into the wrong thread. I just recommended the totorials on this site and others that are dedicatated to programing as an addition to books recommended by others. As for Charles Petzold, I highly recommend it, since too many of us have gotten tied up in C++/OOP and forgoten the basics upon which it is all founded. C++ and MFC is great (minus the bugs) but it hides all the basic implementations ( aka. how it all works ). There are a few books on my shelf I could have sujested but they are far past what I would recommend to some one new in this area of programming. As for 'Ivor Horton's' book I have never read it, may be I'll take a look to see if it is worth may time. FYI: Most Visual C++/MFC Books are a rehash of whats in the MSDN Library.
