What are the best online C++ tutorials for experienced VB developers who need to learn C++ fast. In other words, they need one that is both clear and concise.

To put this in perspective, I have a friend who is a VB developer who's been thrown in at the deep end. This is what he said:

"My boss agreed to write a component for a company that wanted it as a small download. He incorrectly thought you didn't need the VB VM library (weighing in at 1.6 MB) and that we could do it in VB6.

So we'll have to do it in VC++ ver6. What he thought might take 3 days will now probably take 3 weeks - talk about a loss leader! I haven't got the first clue about VC++. I did a little C on UNIX back in my 2nd year ar Uni and placement year, but that was 13 years ago. I may need to pick your brains a little, concerning the MFC. Is it quite large ? Our component has to be under 1MB to download, so the client thought that would rule out using the MFC.

Basically, the component has no interface, it just needs to sit in the system tray and every hour interrogate a fixed URL to determine if there are any changes to the page. If so, the system tray icon should change colour and should a bubble with some text in it and then (when clicked on) open the browser and take the user to that page. It needs to store the URL and frequency with which to check it in an ini file or the registry.

We've got some code to handle the system tray icons and I've got some code to download a web page to a file, but then we need to parse the text for any changes. Not sure how they'll be determined yet. We're not sure what we'll need to do in terms of a setup and deployment package. Will everything needed be built into the .exe file or will it have dependencies on anything such as the MFC dll(s) ?"

I've suggested using ATL and, in fact, there's an example on Code Project that appears to do exactly what he wants.

I suppose the question is really: "How little C++ does he need to know to achieve his objective using ATL?"

I have extensive experience with MFC, but nothing in components (beyond Automation Servers). I've done a little ATL but not commercially.
