Book recommendation?

Jim
Several years ago, I had a great book called "Moving from
C to C++", its purpose being self-explanatory. More
recently, I had an excellent book frmo the Microsoft Press
called "Programmin g Visual C++, 5th Edition". It was an
excellent book, although a couple of years out of date,
and they enver revised it, presumably because VS6 was
benig abandoned for VS .NET.

Can anyone recommend a good book for jumping into Windows
programming w/ .NET "hands on"? I really liked this
particular book, because it didn't spend a lot of time of
the funadamentals of programming, as you should (and I
obviously already do) know them, but at the same time, it
spent a lot of tmie going into a fair amount of detail on
the things you "really do" with the language (MFC, in it's
case.)

Another good one I liked was from the MS Press' "Mastering
Series", called "Mastering MFC", although some of its
examples and subjects were left with a number of loose
ends.

If anyone could recommend a good book on this I'd erally
appreciate it, because I need to get up to speed on this
as quickly as possible. Thanks!

This is really the best book I ever read. It is a real pleasure to read and
you can really use it as a reference.

If anyone knows one that could be about the same quality for ASP.NET, just
let me know it.

I have the Transact-SQL Programming book from O'Reilly. It was published in 1999. It states that "SELECT ... INTO" statements end up locking the entire database of the target table. Since the tempdb is also involved (in many cases), this creates major deadlocks for the entire database and all users. It suggests using the "INSERT ... SELECT" form instead. Considering that the book is somehow dated, is this recommendation still valid,...

I will be doing an app for a nonprofit. It would be useful for them to have a good entry-level book on Access so that they don't have to pay someone to design all their queries and reports. I'm not familiar with those books. Does anyone have a recommendation? TIA.

I asked this before, although several months ago, and I want to make sure the recommendation hasn't changed. I'm a developer who is working on a Web application, but most of my work is at the very low end of the system, below the business objects, providing core functionality. I've read Advanced .NET Remoting, C# and the .Net framework, Performance Tuning and Optimizing ASP.NET Applications. I have a strong background in C and C++ (as...
