Moving from C++ to VC++
I have learned most of C++. I have just moved to MS-Visual C 5.0, Could someone point me to a good step by step tutorial on the net or write one for me on how to write with the GUI interface. I also know and have VB 5.0 but the way of porgramming dialogs and stuff looks a lot different.
Thanx,
Patrick

An excellent tutorial is "Mastering MFC Development" from Microsoft, it is a CD-ROM, the best tutorial I've found (and I've really searched a lot). It *explains* why things work, not just tell you how to do it. Don't buy the book "learn VC++ in 21 days" or something to that manner... they only tell you *how* to do things.. which isn't bad to start with, but is really sucky for a reference book.
The only drawback with the CD-Rom is it is kind of expensive.
A standard text is "Inside Visual C++" fourth edition text, covers VC++ 5.0. Excellent text, but it is technical -- there is no casual tone in this text like you would find in typical beginner books.
I heard Visual C++ Developer's Guide is a pretty good book too. Take a look at that book too.
