Could someone please recommend a good introductory book to Visual
Basic written for programmers who have had little or no exposure to
Windows? I am a C++ programmer and have only worked on Unix/Linux so
far, so I understand very little about DLL's, COM, ActiveX, etc, but I
don't need to have elementary programming concepts explained.
Thanks,
Marco

The best book i ever bought , is programming Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0
from Francesco Balena ( MS PRESS )
this book covers everything , and i still use it as a reference all
previous bought books were wasted money
look here for a peek http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...books&n=507846
Francesco also wrote a VB.NET book ( same size as the VB 6 version ) wich
i also own, again this book is superb to all others and again usable as a
reference guide
In my native language we have a saying that covers it all
translated :
<
if you do hear the bell ringing , but but you do not know how
Then these books are for you ( these books are for persons who do have some
programming knowledge, but need to get pointed in the right direction )
hope this helps :-)

A series of programming books I found very useful in Java and Visual
Basic.NET is
The Complete Reference
Visual Basic.NET
author: Jeffrey R. Shapiro
made by Osborne and McGraw Hill
They also give you free code online so you don't have to type in the
examples in the book to experiment with them. Particularly, if you're also
learning Java, this sereies for Java2 is EXTREMELY useful.

I had looked for a Python book to start up but found many titles...
so, my question finally is: what book could be for a Python beginner - but NOT a programming beginner - which intends to develop *windowed* Python programms and intends to develop for Windows and for Linux?

I'm looking for a good intro to python book. I'm very familiar with
programming, but know nothing of OOP or systems (OS type) programming.
All of my programming experience is in number crunching and generic
graphics engines (read: gobs and gobs of matrix manipulations and
super-efficient sorts), all of it in C.
I've written exactly one program in Python.
So, I need something that covers the finer points of Python - difference...

This book is targeted directly at the VB6 programmer who is interested in
moving to .NET, and who wants immediate productivity without hype and
without wasting time.
This is *not* your average programming book, and frankly, it is not like any
book I've written before. My goal was to meet the needs of a...

Ever since I started tinkering around the GTK+ and later on Gtkmm

It came as a blessing when "Sams Teach Yourself GTK+ Programming in 21
Days" was put on the bookstores' shelves in the year 2000. I remember
having to line up at the teller and noticing that two out of five
people had this book in their baskets or under...

Buffer overflows are a fact of life, and, more specifically, a fact of
C.
All is not lost however. In the book
"Value Range Analysis of C programs" Axel Simon tries to establish a
theoretical framework for analyzing C programs. In contrast to other
books where the actual technical difficulties are "abstracted away",
this books tries to analyze real C programs taking into account
pointers, stack frames, etc.

Hello folks,
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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
