This one differs largely from its predecessor (2010) in that it drops the Parallel Library section, drops all of the equivalent CLI code walk-through, and uses exclusively the Standard Template Library smart pointers (i.e. rewrites the code of the previous versions to eliminate the need for heap management and the need to match delete with new). However, somehow the book got published without a useful index. It appears that the index was regenerated (i.e. is not identical to the previous version), but unfortunately I have found most of page numbers to be wrong. In addition, like previous versions, the index is thinly populated. Many topics covered are not in the index at all. Off topic a bit, C++ is becoming an increasingly cumbersome, cluttered language to read, as is particularly evident in this book. An implicit acknowledgement of this fact is on p732. The authors recommend a typedef:typedef std::list>::const_iterator SketchIterator;Using the useful new features of C++11 too often require such a mouthful of text that it's hard to see the intent, much less find the hidden bugs. In my own coding, I'm beginning to resort to the distasteful macro approach, which differs little from the typedef solution the authors suggest. ### ⭐⭐ Not the most beginner friendly book *by S***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2013* I took a class in C++ programming around 4 years ago and have recently decided that I want to try my hand at mobile app development. I have some experience with C++, but absolutely none with Visual C++. I was hoping that this book would serve as a refresher in C++ coding and a nice introduction to Visual C++, but was a little disappointed. For a book intended to teach beginners Visual C++ I would have hoped that at least the first half of the book and its exercises could be completed using the free Express version Visual C++, but 20 pages in and the book is already into MFC applications which are not supported natively through Express. While I understand the desire to include MFC applications in the book as it easily allows for Windows GUI, I don't see myself buying five hundred dollar software for basic learning, I might work my way through the book on the free 90 day trial of Visual C++ Professional though.The book is also a little long winded, I am working my way through three other books 2 on Windows game programming in C++ and one is C++ for dummies and all three are far easier for a lay person to get into programming and are also more interesting. This book reads more like a user manual, it contains a lot of useful information, but is about as fun as going to the dentist. This book is not over my head, but I have at least a little experience programming, and it seems to progress through programs in a logical way, I only wish it was more geared toward the use of the Express version of Visual. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Text are not in good alignment for a number of pages at the beginning. *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2015* Contain enough information about C/C++ programming and windows programming with API and MFC.It would be great it there will be intensive context about programming with controls, e.g. CTreeCtrl, CDockablePane, and CMFCPropertyGridCtr etc.One thing I do not like in the book I've got is about printing work.Text are not in good alignment for a number of pages at the beginning. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/6609039-ivor-hortons-beginning-visual-c-2012](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/6609039-ivor-hortons-beginning-visual-c-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
