Description

---

This is an ideal book if you're an experienced developer approaching Visual C++ from a background of C# programming on .NET 1.1 or 1.0. This book includes two distinct sections forming a simple migration path for you to move across to Visual C++ 2005 development. The first section introduces the Visual C++ 2005 technology then overviews the language in eight fast-track chapters. This overview is tightly focused on the mechanics of the language and does not introduce any coding. Five additional chapters then detail the techniques and issues involved in converting C# applications to Visual C++ 2005.
