Looking for a book that can teach Visual C++ from scratch to an absolute beginner, I mean someone who can't write a word of code. Which book is that?
For an intro book on C++, I recommend "Beginning C++20: From Novice to Professional" by Ivor Horton
https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Beginning...835/ref=sr_1_3
For a free on-line resource, I also recommend:
https://www.learncpp.com
Visual C++ was once a free-standing product but has become part of Microsoft Visual Studio. There is a free community edition available,
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/
Select "Desktop development with C++" during installation, and you end up with today's equivalent of Visual C++.
Visual Studio is an integrated development environment (IDE) that allows you to write, compile and run C++ programs. It is from Microsoft, but C++ itself is from an independent standardization committee,
https://isocpp.org/
So learning C++ can be daunting. There is both the IDE and the language to master.
For info re VS setup, intro etc see
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vi.../?view=vs-2022
Note that this covers other languages apart from C++ (eg, c#, python, Visual Basic etc)
You can go through below mention books, it will help you to understand.
1. Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Programming Series): Jeffrey Richter

2. Programming Windows®, Fifth Edition (Developer Reference): Charles Petzold
https://www.amazon.com/Programming-W.../dp/157231995X
Best of luck!
They will help understand how to use the WIN32 APIs for Windows programming - not how to learn C++Quote:
