Books? Why? This would be enough: http://www.asp.net/[^].Don't get me wrong: if you prefer reading a book, it can help you a lot. Let's see if other members recommend you some.This is not the main thing. The main thing is prerequisites: you should know the language and basics of the .NET...

You might get a better response by asking here: http://www.codeproject.com/Forums/1580229/General-Indian-Topics.aspx[^] - the correspondants are (mostly) Indian residents, and will have a better idea of how much Rs.1500 buys you, and the level of book you need.It also allows for a "fuller...

Have a look on Apress.com - you should consider some of their C# titles too. The code is easily converted to C++ in most cases.One such tome is the "CSharp 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform" by Andrew Troelsen

I would start with the book of Bjarne Stroustrup. The first part of the book is a good tutorial to the language and shows the intentions behind the various language constructs. After you have read that and practiced C++ for a while, you will see, which special literature you need to develop...

You have got one great book "Win32 API Programming" by Petzold this is very good for learning development of Plain win32(both C and C++) application development. Trust me you wont get very much difference ...And For Learning MFC(Advance C++ and Master Use of MACRO s) you have another good...

If you are serious about using Windows Forms then you should switch to C# and forget C++, as it is much more intuitive. .NET Book Zero[^] by Charles Petzold is a great start and your C++ background will help you immensely.

I have the .NET Book Zero by Petzold but have not put any time into C# as I have libs that were written in C++ that I must use in these projects. Basically I am learning to put a pretty face on existing code. I wouldn't have any troubles with Ivor Hortons book if the express edition of VS2010...

Although I'm not new to programming (I know a bit of C and I'm well-taught in Python 3) I want to be able to get the best out of C++ but at the same time not to get confused. I have these books on C++ and I want to know which is the best to read:The C++ programming language 4th edition by...

Hi,I start reading about c++ with "C++ programming language by Bjarne Stroustrup", but after learn a little, I attempt to practice by www.cplusplus.com. This site is useful for me.

Buy Stroustrup and keep it handy as a reference. Have a good read of it when you're relatively proficient in the language - it's written in a really dry style that puts me to sleep and I'd hate it to put you off!To actually learn C++ when you know another language I'd suggest "Accelerated...

I'd like to add Thinking in C++[^] series.I had read these a long time ago, so I'm not sure whether the information has aged well and is kept updated with the evolution of the language. I liked it since it helped me understand the language and it's concepts quite well when I was going from...
