typedef std::list<std::shared_ptr<CElement>>::const_iterator SketchIterator;
Using the useful new features of C++11 too often require such a mouthful of text that it's hard to see the intent, much less find the hidden bugs. In my own coding, I'm beginning to resort to the distasteful macro approach, which differs little from the typedef solution the authors suggest.
The book is also a little long winded, I am working my way through three other books 2 on Windows game programming in C++ and one is C++ for dummies and all three are far easier for a lay person to get into programming and are also more interesting. This book reads more like a user manual, it contains a lot of useful information, but is about as fun as going to the dentist. This book is not over my head, but I have at least a little experience programming, and it seems to progress through programs in a logical way, I only wish it was more geared toward the use of the Express version of Visual.
It would be great it there will be intensive context about programming with controls, e.g. CTreeCtrl, CDockablePane, and CMFCPropertyGridCtr etc.
One thing I do not like in the book I've got is about printing work.
Text are not in good alignment for a number of pages at the beginning.
