I'm a software engineer with 6 years of experience. I know what programming
is about, but never had a chance to get into C++, and I'm picking it up now.
I'm looking for a book for someone who already has programming background. I
don't want to have to go through what is a class or Hello World type of
thing.
Can anyone suggest a good book for C++? I am interested in both managed and
unmanaged C++ programming.
TIA

Managed C++: My advice would be to wait a year, or at least until the
Whideby beta is widely available. The new C++/CLI syntax is far more
powerful and sensible than the VC7/7.1 "managed extensions for C++".
Unmanaged C++: "Accelerate d C++" by Andrew Koenig and Barbara Moo. That
book teaches C++, not "Visual C++". There are tons of "Visual C++" books
that try to teach you how to use Visual Studio and the VC++ libraries such
as MFC and ATL. I wouldn't recommend any of them myself, but probably some
of them are OK.
"Thinking in C++" by Bruce Eckel is reputed to be a good book, and the
complete text of it is available online at http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/...ngInCPP2e.html

Hello, Carl. Thank you very much for your suggestion. I will check the books
out.
If you don't mind, could you explain why I would want to wait for Whidbey
for managed C++? What kind of powerful features will be added? I guess doing
managed code in C++ is not worth right now from what I hear from you. Well,
after all it's the .NET Framework we are programming against, so why not use
C# or VB .NET, right?

Hello Hayato

Hi folks,
I'm writing a traditional desktop app using VB.NET and am stumbling
over what seems like a very basic question:
My app does not need to be connected to a server or another computer.
It just runs locally. So what is the best way to store user-entered
data? The app is like an address book, where users can enter contacts
and save the data.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could suggest me a book/article/tutorial on
Exception Handling in multi tier Windows Apps. What are the best
practices/ways to implement EH in multi tier enviroment. I read some MS
Best Practices articles on MSDN. It helped a little, but considering
how unexperienced programmer I am, I think I'd need a good sample code
and explanation I could follow to fully understand the issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi experts,
What's considered the best book to learn javascript? I searched this
newsgroup but the postings are over five years old, so is there a good
book to learn. I've searched Amazon and found that the best rated is,
among others, John Pollock, "JavaScript: A Beginner's Guide."
I am not a big fan of the O'Reilly books, to be honest.
I do know C and C++ but no Java, so would Pollock's book is the best
starting place?

If there is a unique identifier like "Publisher" with a bunch of

the publisher class). How should the code be organized, and how can
the books properties like "Name" be easily called in the main code, or
searched for in the main code?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
