Review

Volumes 1 and 2 of this package comprise the voluminous reference to the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) library. These two books, totaling more than 3,000 pages, provide detailed information on the MFC classes, functions, macros, and variables. Volume 1 opens with an outline of the MFC by category, while the second installment offers a detailed reference to each class.

The third volume in this set covers the template libraries in Visual C++ 6.0. This book opens with a technical discussion of the Active Template Library (ATL) and a brief ATL tutorial. The remainder of the volume is devoted to the detailed reference of the ATL.

The first part of the Run-Time Library Reference, the next volume in the series, details the C++ iostream library--with a quick discussion of streams and iostream programming--and alphabetically lists Microsoft's iostream classes. The second portion of this book lists the run-time routines by category. Each routine is followed up by global variables, types, and constants.

The last volume in this group is actually three books in one. The first is a detailed Visual C 6.0 reference that covers all the basic constructs, such as statements, functions, identifiers, and syntax. Next, an equally detailed reference to C++ discusses all of the object-oriented additions to C++. A reference guide to the preprocessor directives and macros follows these two language summaries. --Stephen Plain
