Please recommend some books
I have been using VC++ 6.0 to make console apps for my job. They are very basic and most code is taken from this forum. I am looking for recommendations for some good c++ books that I may find at my local Barnes and Noble, etc here in the U.S.
I have basic principals down so I don't need "introduction", "Beginner", or those '...for dummies' books.
I am looking to get more into API's, MFC Window programming, etc.
Anyone have some books in mind?
I have these currently:
C++ How To Program (3rd ed.)
Teach Yourself VC++ in 21 days
Beginning Windows NT Programming
What else would be good?

For non-MFC, I highly recommend:
"Programming Windows, 5th ed." by Charles Petzold (MS Press)
For MFC, consider:
"Programming Windows with MFC" by Jeff Prosise (MS Press)
(this is not as good as Petzold's book, but still worth
considering).

Hi,
1. Programming windows with MFC, second edition/Jeff Prosise - it's very good.
these are pretty good also:
2. Visual C++ MFC Programming by Example
3. MFC Answer Book: Solutions for Effective C++ Applications Eugene Kain (Preface), Scot Wingo
best regards,
Moshe Yakobovich
i dont know if rating helps - but it worths giving it a shot...
