1.0 out of 5 stars This book really kicks ass.. NOT, 20 Sep 2000

By A Customer

Damn, I had luck coz i only borrowed this crap from a friend. The examples don't work, the author's style (both code and text) is bad like hell and you get the impression that he doesn't really have a clue what this is all about. Disgusting.

1.0 out of 5 stars Book should rate a Black Hole, 17 Aug 1999

By A Customer

After reviewing this book as a possible candidate for a college class, it is amazing how awfully stupid some companies can be at marketing. Most people who buy computer books can at least read at a college level even if they've never been there. As if the typos were not enough, the examples don't work and as the last commentor explained the code that does work on the CD is completely different from the code in the book. It's a shame that Mr. Wallace can't even walk you through a wizard without breaking the code. If you don't believe how terribly poor a book can be written then pick this up in the book store or order it with the intention of returning it. Richard Grimes's book is much better for beginners and at least the code works right out of the book. Be careful, this book will suck your brain out and make you not want to do any ActiveX development with Visual C++.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, 4 Jun 1999

By A Customer

Follow the examples step by step and don't enter any data other than what was in the screen shot or, it will blow up. This ranks right at the bottom of the pile with Scott Hillier and Dan Mesick's books. The Tom Armstrong book is outstanding and it's cheaper.
