Any good references?

Hi All, I'm currently a firmware engineering and trying to get into software programming (using C++ for right now). I've decided to create a simple text editor as my first project. Does anybody know any good references out there on this topic in particular and Windows programming in general? Any suggestion on better projects for beginners? Thanks y'all Dody

I'm still a novice really so others may have something more usefull to say. I started with the book 'SAMS Teach Yourself Visual C++' and I found it very poor, it didn't expain much just took you through some examples (very briefly). Next I got the book 'Practical Visual C++' by Bates & Tompkins, this was much better, it assumes that you know very little and explains a fair ammount. Lastly, I am currently reading 'Programming Windows with MFC' by Jeff Prosise, this is an excelent book it talks alot about what is actually going on - I like that, coming from a firmware/hardware background I want to know what is 'under the hood', but you need to understand C++ first as it does not explain this. Hope that helps, good luck :), Ali

Programming MFC (written by Jeff Prosise) is a good reference. A. Riazi

WORDPAD and SUPERPAD are applications included with Windows OSs that are part of VS 6 samples ;), so you can download it from http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcsample98/html/_sample_mfc_wordpad.asp They were written using the Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC), so i think you can use them as a reference for your project.
