1.0 out of 5 stars Unix C++ programmers Do NOT buy this Book, 24 Feb 1999
By A Customer
If I wanted a a story I would have read Fiction.

the book details many aspects of MFC/VC++ programming, but the tuturial is not worth the paper it is printed on.

The exercise flow easily in some chapters than others. more often than not the author tends to say" When you are this far, do this" When in fact you have passed that stage following the guidelines.

More so, is the anoying tendancy to let the reader do something and say"You should have done this in the app Wizard".. hmm only to find out you didn't and that you have to repeat everything you have done.

This book is worthless. Microsoft Press can add another poor book to the collection. I am sticking with WROX.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I'd hoped for, 21 Jul 1998
By A Customer
The book is about the same physical size as many of Microsoft Press' other programming books. As it turns out, that's because it was printed on heavy stock, in large type, and contains a lot of material that could be omitted.

The book assumes you're already familiar with Windows programming and MFC -- I wasn't familiar with either, and so felt this acutely -- yet the author felt compelled to provide details like how to select more than one file at a time from the standard file dialog. Particularly in the early chapters, you spend half the time learning something interesting, and half the time wondering whether the author had a page quota.

I would be more willing to recommend this book if it had taken the form of a manual, and provided comprehensive coverage rather than selecting a few topics and casually walking through them. I would also have liked to see more recommendations on how to go about creating and maintaining source code and associated resource files. ! The author intersperses comments like, "if you change something here, you will have to go back and clean up the other stuff over here". Had that taken the form of a checklist, instead of casual commentary sprinkled throughout the book, it might have proven more useful.

There *are* useful pieces of information here, about features you might not otherwise notice, but this book falls short of providing a comprehensive manual or a useful "how to" guide.

2.0 out of 5 stars this book is in need of a 'service pack', 16 Jan 1998
By A Customer
This book contains some useful, though poorly presented information. This book attempts to be a tutorial, but often reads more like an encyclopedia. I would not recommend this book until it has been fixed.
