Where to start learning VC++ .Net ?

[Jason Jacob]

To all,

I would like to know where should I start to learn VC++ .Net ??
As for my prior experience in writing VC++ code, I found that the lang
spec / structure is quite complicated (compared with Java or C#), even
writing String programs can cause you lots of trouble, especially in
handling memory issues.

I've read some "Programming Windows" books from MS Press, but it seems
to me that its focus is on GUI things which is not quite suitable for
my case.

I think I need a way to learn from the basics (based on MS's
foundation classes and not the ANSI C standards, since using ANSI C
standards under Windows seems to be a bit inefficient)

Thanks

Hi There is not one book that is sufficient for this purpose, here is the list.
vc++ 21 days,vc++ by Kruglinski, vc++ by Jeff prosise, vc++.NET bible by Tom
archer,MFC internals, Programming windows Jeffery ritcher.

Those are not all about .NET. My suggestion to the OP is:
"Visual C++ .NET Step by Step" by Microsoft Press (but which is stupidly
/erroneously written concerning C++itself)

and one very good is

"Visual C++ .NET How to Program" by Deitel. This is *very good* but too
extensive meaning that it covers stuff that I do not consider necessary
to learn by heart. Nevertheless, this one is very good.
