Re: Visual C++ Book
Hi David,
I was just funning with Ajay. I think he knows me by now. I took a 6 month
Microsoft class on C# a couple of years ago so I know a bit about it,
although I've never done a full desktop application with it. I agree that
it looks elegant and it is certainly easy enough to create simple programs.
I'm not disputing that it has a lot of merit. If you're doing pure .NET
stuff and you don't mind learning another syntax then it is certainly a
better choice, imo, than VB.NET.

LOL, I think C# is much more elegant and lacking of complexity (I mean,
just read the code, there is no superfluous junk characters in it to
confuse you, the meaning just leaps out at you), whereas the various C++
community seems to take great delight in seeing how complicated looking
they can make the latest syntax.
OTOH, I am reading Advanced C# by Trey Nash which tells of best practices,
and there is a TON of stuff to learn regarding IDisposable, threading,
exception handling, etc. before one can claim to be proficient in C#. I'm
starting to understand why a lot of expert C# programmers say they wish
WinForms apps weren't so simple, because it makes it easy to do things
wrong.
