1.0 out of 5 stars Beware of Nathan Wallace books!, April 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: ActiveX Template Library Development With Visual C++ 6.0 (Paperback)

I have to wonder why, after so many One-Star reviews, Nathan Wallace is still able to market his 'writing skills'. After purchasing one of his books (also from Wordware Pub), I found gaping holes in the content (primarily just rehashed online docs to begin with), code examples that would not compile, missing files, empty directories on the CDROM. This is apparently par for the course with Nathan Wallace. I can usually find something of merit in any tech reference, but after looking through this book, it appears to be more of the same. I've never given a 1-star rating to a book before, but Wallace has earned it. Just a heads-up: Look at comments on Wallace's other books.

This review is from: ActiveX Template Library Development With Visual C++ 6.0 (Paperback)

Bestselling author Nathan Wallace? How did this guy get to be a bestseller? There is nothing "quick" or "fast" or "powerful" about these codes -- why in the world did they say so in the advertising? The package they put together is a dump. None of the files they see are there are in there. And half of the codes don't even work! The whole book is ridden with errors and only leaves you more confused afterwards than before you started reading it. Aren't they supposed to edit and proofread a book tehy publish to make sure it's accurate? Use for wood shavings.
