Which book to learn VC++ 6?

[V(ery) Basic]

I've just decided that it would be very useful to learn C++. I've got a lot of spare time now, no major projects pending, and a friend of mine is going to Seattle and can buy me a C++ book as a sort of present.

I bought VS6.0 Pro and I want to stick with it (no Borland or C or stuff like that) so I would like to know what book is best for a programmer with no VC++ knowledge that was specially written for the Microsoft VC interface.

So, to cut to the chase, what's the best beginner's book out there for me?

Teach Yourself Visual C++ 6 In 21 Days

Don't try and learn VC++ before you know how to write fairly complex console apps in C++. Although Megatron is right - Sams.net do produce good books.

See this site (http://www.cprogramming.com/books.html) for some more helpful books.

Thank you both. Suggestions written down and noted.

(Brain: That's the same thing)
(Hand: What is?)
(Brain: 'Written down' and 'noted')
(Hand: Bugger.
(Brain: Punishment: Pins and needles)
(Hand: Nooo.)

Maybe I'd best get self-councilling book.

He's definately lost it. :)

Oh, yeah, and V(ery)? Do us all a favour, and make your brain and your hand make up. Oh, yeah, when you get the self-councilling book, make sure to make your hand read it first. :D
