Title: A good book for beginners
Review: After picking up a couple of other books on programming with Visual C++, I came across this one. The explanations of the language are very good, especially classes which are covered by four chapters. Most of the code examples are, of course, trivial problems, but Mr. Horton did an excellent job of explaining what was going on. I guess my only complaint with the book was occasional lapses in explanation of what exactly the code is doing and why he chose to do it that way. Perhaps a more thorough discussion of the design aspects of programming would help. Of course the book is already well over 1000 pages. :-)
