This is a well organized book with clear, concise information and help for any student or professional with the need to apply C++. Mr. Wright has condensed an incredible amount of information on this subject into a user-friendly reference not to be without. Best I have ever read on the topic!

I think this book only explains the "editor" instead of talking about programming

3.0 out of 5 stars A book for dummies should not have bugs, February 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Visual C++ 6 for Dummies Quick Reference (Spiral-bound)

The book that claims: "Confused by syntax issues on constants, arrays, or variables? Looking for fast solutions to writing reusable object-oriented code? ".....however on page 115 on Arrays, the proper definition should be "int Myarray[7]...and not "Myarray[6]..." It took this dummy and the compiler and another text to figure this out. A book that claims to be a reference for dummies should be bug-in-syntax free. Also their web site should have an errata section. Should I depend on this quick reference ?
