Learning C++

[chpicker]

I've been working with Basic most of my life, primarily in QuickBASIC (old procedural programming). For the last year or so, I've been working in Visual FoxPro, finally learning how to do Object Oriented Programming. With this background, I want to try to learn how to program in C. Can anyone suggest how I could best go about starting? I have the full Visual Studio suite, so I have the Visual C++ language and the MSDN library, but I'm at a loss as to even how to START creating a project in VC++. Unlike other languages, there doesn't seem to be a "language reference", so I'm assuming there aren't any real built-in commands or functions, just sample classes. Any suggestions on a good starting point?

Maybe You must need Associated one book of Visual C++ series, at least!

Forgive me, but I can't understand what you are saying here. Is there a certain book or book series you are suggesting? If so, what is the name and/or publisher?

series..... the book's publisher is mspress.......(Window

I assume that you can c or c++


It's book explain Window Programming From easy to high

level!(This book only limited Window programming, In the

other hand this means that not Include [MFC->Microsoft

Foundation Class])

I hope you always will be approximately coding!
