I may have bought this book for kids who are too young (10 and 13) so when they were frustrated I tried to help them. The samples the book follows are supposed to be found in the CD that cams with the book. First they tell "kids" : find this sample code in the CD without telling them exactly which folder in the CD they can find it. That may be OK for somebody experienced but not for a kid (they will probably look for it by opening every folder in the CD!!). Then guess what ... the samples are nowhere to be found. So ... I typed the code myself for them. When compiling it with their software it told me a function was not available ... Let's see ... a function they are using in the code is not available in their software??? And this is just the simplest example the book starts with. Imagine if anybody is going to read the rest of the book. I can't believe a book like this one even gets published.
