Still reading, I know C++ fine, but am not terribly familiar with the Visual C++ IDE, and completely unfamiliar with CLI/CLR. Thus far the book is exceptionally well written and quite enjoyable.

Really great book. Recommend to those starting with C++.

This is probably one of the best books I've picked up for learning C++.
