After reading the reviews here at amazon.com, I decided to order this book. I've been working with Visual C++ 6.0 before, but I'm right now changing to .NET. This book seemd to be the one for me.

Well, it wasn't. I just don't lika the way the author writes. Some authors can get you just drawling for more, and eager to get started. Well, this one didn't. I also don't like the authors way of focusin so much on distributed progams. Sure, distributed programming is an growing area, but still, lots of non distributed, desctop applications are made!

After reading about half the book, I gave up. Instead I went for "Special Edition, Using Visual C++ .NET", and I have just started reading it. I hope it will give me a little bit more.
