- When I first started with Visual C++, I used the tutorial that came with it.
- Take the time to actually enter the code yourself, don't just use the sample
- code supplied with it. When you see something you want to know more about,
- put your insertion point on that word and hit F1. The online help is quite
- good.
-
- With the tutorial, you will be introduced to the development environment,
- writing C++, using the MFC and the Windows API. Again the key is to actually
- enter the code yourself from the keyboard.
-
- Good luck,
-
