- There is another good book published by SAMS. "Visual C++ in
- 12 Easy Lesons" by Greg Perry and Ian Spencer. This book includes
- a complete Visual C++ v1.0 compiler on CD-ROM. This is more than
- enough to get you going. It was clear and easy to follow.
-
- I also recommend "C++ the Pocket Reference" published by
- Osborne and written by Herbert Schildt, because texts never really
- make great refferences. I found it easier to refer to this book that I did
- referring to the help screens.

- For your next step, you should consider a book that specializes in teaching
- about pointers. This is what I consider the hardest and most discouraging part of
- C or C++. I am currently at this stage, and the only book I could find is called
- "C++ Pointers and Dynamic Memmory Management". (Wiley & Sons,
- Michael Daconta) The author fully understands my dilemma, although I wish
- he had a better editor.
