Good Book on Visual Studio with C++
Posted by Conan Lord on April 30th, 2007


Hi

I'm used to developping C++ applications with Linux/GCC.

Now I need to use Visual Studio (Pro 2005) to develop
large C++ applications.

I would like to find a good book explaining the principles of
C++ development on Windows, with Visual Studio (but not a book
on C++ language)

Any advice ?

CL

The "native" API for Windows is Win 32. It is written for C. Microsoft
and several others have provided frameworks that add C+ wrappers. If
you want to use one of them, you should get a book on it. The usual
recommendation for books on Win32 is Petzold or Petzold and Yao. I
prefer Rector and Newcomer. I just used google
(http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search) to look up
book
in comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32 and got 6250 hits. I took a
quick look and saw several recommendations in the first few.


Requesting replies by email rather than in the newsgroup(s) is
generally frowned upon. Especially when done in the background (I'm
not sure about correct terminology, but you did something to change
the choices when I started to post this reply, and I didn't notice
until I was about to reply.)
