Re: Visual C++ Book
I think what makes C# successful:
1. Microsoft really pushes it as being "more cool".
2. They get all of the VS functionality for .NET
3. Microsoft using the excuse that C++ is "too difficult" to do some of the
functionality that C# has so naturally people think C++ is "more difficult"
4. C# gets the "new stuff" a release before C++, at least, which is usually
over a year. Thus C# gets momentum.
What makes C++ successful:
1. C# can't do native
2. .NET still not a speed demon so not suitable for all applications
3. Lots of people were already using MFC/C++

OTOH, I am reading Advanced C# by Trey Nash which tells of best practices,

exception handling, etc. before one can claim to be proficient in C#.
I believe that claiming to be proficient in C# and doing *advanced*
stuff in C# is absolutely not trivial, and requires studying and
coding.
C# is not VisualBasic6++ ;-)
