As the title implies, this book is primarily targeted at how to use Visual C++, which in all honestly, it does a pretty good job, complete with detailed screenshots. It doesn't delve much into the fundamentals of C/C++ but it does include some of it in the appendix. As such, this book is definitely more suited to those who have already had at least a basic grasp of C++. It's probably a really good resource for experienced C++ programmers as it touches on many topics related to Windows programming and MFC, providing just enough details to get people started. One flaw with this book is that it had poor technical editing as there were quite a lot of header inconsistences, wrong chart/diagram/snippet reference numbers, and incorrect captions.
