In order to protect myself from becoming obsolete, I've decided to add a 
couple of skills to the ol' resume.

I would consider myself a fairly capable C programmer.  I spend most of 
my time programming DOS apps, DOS games, and software that runs under a 
realtime kernal on an embedded system.  I have learned a _little_ about 
C++ programming (basic syntax, etc).

I'm looking for a few tips from others who have moved to Windows-based 
C++ coding (recommended books, documents, etc).

I have good design skills (modularity, etc), but I need a better idea of 
how and where to use objects.

I have some experience with realtime systems, but I also need an idea of 
how to move from linear programming to structuring code around window's 
message loop thingamajig.

Both the move to C++ and Windows will require big changes to the way I 
structure my code, and I am hoping that there is some book that will help 
me learn both simultaneously.  Or could that overload my brain?

We use borland 3.1 and 4.0 at work, but I was thinking of grabbing VC++ 
2.2, so I could do win95 stuff.  However, I've heard that Microsoft has 
started on VC++ 3.0.  Any dates/info on it?


Any help with be greatly appreciated.
