DESCRIPTION:
Companion Web site provides all source code from the book. Visual C++ is a trademark of Microsoft, Inc.. Cutting right to the core of issues crucial to programmers, this book begins with a brief refresher course and then moves quickly onto the skills that really count: capturing images, metafiles, and other advanced graphics; creating and synchronizing multithreaded programs; capturing keystrokes with Windows hooks; building a Web browser; building ActiveX controls; and much more. Get up to speed with the latest version of Visual C++. What makes Fast Track the C++ guide of choice is leading expert Steve Holzner's practical approach to learning by example
"Wish I would have bought Steven Holzner's book first" according to A Customer. I just finished Steven Holzner's "Advanced Visual C++ 5 and consider it to be one of the best books on the subject.

I put it right up there with Petzold and Richter and highly suggest that if you want to learn VC++, get all 3 of these books. Petzold & Richter to understand what's going on and Holzner to get a lot of walk though workable samples to start programming quickly. I find the previous review to be hard to believe since Holzners book was the first book I bought out of about a dozen tha. of these books. Petzold & Richter to understand what's going on and Holzner to get a lot of walk though workable samples to start programming quickly. I find the previous review to be hard to believe since Holzners book was the first book I bought out of about a dozen tha. Incomplete and misleading. I had a case of dejavu while reading this book after a decent introduction the material falls off into a void of buggy code code examples and overly technical gobbledegook. It turns out that this one was written by the same guy who wrote XML Complete, another rushed-to-market computer book that was darned near close to worthless. If this was the only book available and the reader knew nothing about programming, then it might be appropriate to spend money on it. However, because C++ isn't an in. Hutch said Needs revision. This is a decent book to get you up to speed with Visual C++.There are many mistakes in the book that need corrected. If his is your first C++ book and you are new to programming it could become difficult to figure out what is wrong with the code. Mistakes like project name is MDIMenus and code example is CMenusMDIDoc which by the project name actually becomes CMDIMenusDoc. Could be a bit of a struggle for a beginner. But the struggle will help you in learning C++. I did enjoy doing the sample
You'll find out how to: * Use advanced graphics for everything from capturing images to metafiles * Create and synchronize multithreaded programs * Use Windows hooks to capture keystrokes * Use dynamic link libraries (DLLs; collections of functions or data that Windows applications can use) * Connect to the Internet and database files * Build a Web browser with Visual C++ (including hyperlink text formatting, and images) * Scan memory to see what programs are running * Build ActiveX controls * Take full advantage of COM/DCOM The companion Web site provides all source code from the book. .
