I bought the book on Tom Archer's recommendation. It is a great book for a C++ programmer wanting to move over to managed C++. Highly recommended.

I'll see if they have it at my local book store.. I'll give it a bit of a glance and if I like it I'll buy it through the Amazon link here.

Oh man, we really need that auto-clickable links feature...

Thanks Shog, and sorry for being lazy. But I hate typing those <a> tags. I always accidentally forget to close a tag and then I'll need to edit my post.

Just realize that it's a beginner-level MC++ book. Me personally I enjoy the tutorial, step-by-step approach. There are times when you have to wade through "this is a variable" type sections, but the majority of the book is great for getting you up and running very quickly with MC++.

I skip chapters quite often when I am reading a programming book. Once in a while I am forced to come back. Then there is also a disturbing fact, that I have never really completed going through a book. Half way through I decide I can do the rest of it on my own with MSDN help and throw away the book into the old pile

Cool. Lemme know if you like it or not. When people ask me to refer books I like also to not only give my opinion of the book, but let them know of other programmer's responses - whether or not its different than mine.

I think Ivor Horton's "Beginning Visual C++ 6" a nice book to guide you to familiar with the IDE of VC (how to use the development tool, ex. ClassView, FileView, ResourceView, ClassWizard, WizardBar, ProjectSetting, debugging tools, ...). But if you decide to read this book, you should keep it in mind: there're too many errors in this book. There're more than 200 entries in the errata!
