Before he finished highschool, he had taken BASIC, FORTRAN, COBOL, and 6800 Assembly Language classes. He earned his BS in Computer Science at Michigan Tech University (cum laude). The next 10 years, he concentrated on writing for computer programming journals such as C/C++ Users Journal, Windows Developer's Journal, The C Gazette, and others. During this phase, he wrote computer programming textbooks including "C/C++ Treausure Chest" and "Windows Programming with Shareware Tools."

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps you find the code you need, February 6, 1999

This review is from: C/C++ Treasure Chest: A Developer's Resource Kit of C/C++ Tools & Source Code with CDROM (Paperback)

The C/C++ Users Group has been collecting source code and making it available for the past 15 years. The trick has been finding the package that has what you need. This book makes a big dent in solving that problem. It contains brief descriptions of hundreds of C and C++ programs, libraries, and documentation, indexed by keyword, type of functionality, OS/CPU and title.

Along with the book is a CD-ROM containing the complete C Users Group code distributions with HTML indexes to direct users to the package they need. These indexes and HTML pages make the difference between 400 packages of data, and 400 packages of information.

The range of code available is astounding. It ranges from AI toolkits to compression utilities, from DOS TSR toolkits to Unix utilities from games to ray-tracing image generation, and almost anything else you can name.

Most important, you can find the code you need.

This is a very well organized and useful resource, which should be in every C++ programmer's arsenal.
