This review is from: Teach Yourself Visual C++ 4 in 21 Days (Teach Yourself in 21 Days) (Paperback)

After reading this book, I realized I need to study basic Win32API functions. Hmm.. so I can say I learned at least one thing. I didn't expect I could be a Visual C++ expert by this book, but this book barley touches how you can use Wizards... nothing more.

1.0 out of 5 stars I left it in the middle..., January 13, 1999

This is a book about how to run the MFC Wizard tool. Repetitive not instructive. I'm not sure I'll want to spend time with the future editions (VC++ 5, 6,...).

1.0 out of 5 stars Pure garbage!, October 27, 1998

This book has so many errors in the code examples it is disgusting. Several times they will show you examples of how to do something interesting within the code they have given you on the CD but do not explain how to do it! To roughly quote the author: "I know some of you might be wondering why you have to do .... and .... to do this but that isn't important, just use this example so you never have to figure it out for yourself". If that isn't bad enough in it's self, then the example code doesn't even work! Do not buy this for any reason, there are much better books on the subject.
