Summary: A Great Start
Comment: As another review mentioned this book should actually be called "Visual C++ for VB Programmers (Or better yet 'How To Write VC++ Components For Your VB Programers')" but that dosen't make it any less of a good book. The first half of the book takes you through C++ giving you the foundation you'll need to handle the last half of the book which is orientated entirely towards making DLL/COM Components. The two major 'projects' you will complete in this book (a file spliter, and a system tray icon handler) are both real world examples which help you understand how you can use C++ to implement your own components.
So if you're looking for a book that will teach you indepth C++ then this probably isn't for you, but if you like me are a Visual Basic programmer who wants to be able to write things in C++ for that extra boost of speed then make sure you add this book to your library.

Summary: The best book for vb programmers
Comment: This is the best book i have ever bought !. jonathan, expose for us, the world of c++ from the point of view of a vb programmers and he's doing it with lots of humor and deep understanding of how to teach and how to make his points. as a vb programmer for over 4 years, i can tell that this book is a must. finaly we can understand all the dirthy work that vb makes for us behind the scene, making things so transparent. and i know from my expirience that a good vb programmer whants to dig inside and find out all those things. again, the best thing for my opinion in this book is, jonathan's way to deliver the material. i know that i'll buy just any book that this writer publish because he is the best !!!. thank you jonathan.

Summary: Definately not for new commers to C++
Comment: I had great success with a simular book "SQL server for Access programers" and figured this book would get me programming in C++ very quickly. The author of this book spends too much time comparing VB and C++ and does not do a good job of thouroughly explaining the C++ code he heaps on you. He takes you from 0-60 in just a couple of chapters, and rather than giving concise clear explanations of how the code works, he expects you to infer how the syntax works through comparing and contrasting it to VB code. He covers too much ground in too short of a time for you too digest it. The only reason I got as far as I did in the book is because I took a course in "C" several years ago. That being the case, I got about halfway through the book, uncrossed my eyes and returned it in favor of "C++ Primer" by Addison and Wesley, which recieved decent reviews on this site. If you have experience with VB AND C or C++ this book will most likely be of very good use to you for learning how to interoperate between the two languages, but be warned you will not learn enough of the c language from this book to write standard C programs.
