Featured Customer Reviews  Waste of money and time,
December 20, 2008
The authors failed to explain the basic information needed by a person that never used C++. I mean, the namespaces, libraries, basic difference between compilers. None of the code works becaues the Authors never tell you which namespace or library should you include. You will never see, in any of the examples any of the following terms (#include, #using, using namespace, ...). Do the authors expect us, as beginners, to figure that out.
If you don't explain these information, what is the point of a Step by Step book. I can figure out the C++ syntax for If Statement, Switch, Loops, ... This is not the reason I would be the C++ book. These things exist in the help.
This book wasted my time. I will have to buy another book. No Steps at all,
October 31, 2008Rushed, mangled, and a waste of money,
April 06, 2008 This book is a bunch of rushed ideas and statements( no thought), and the
whole book is in rushed jibber-jabber. They keep indicating that you will
learn this later, and that. Later comes and you never learn it. It is quite amazing to me how they could have fill the many pages (600+) of the book with filibuster garggle. Do not buy this book. You won't be able to pace yourself and follow along (it's a disorganized mess), and you will not learn anything, and will waste your money. Whoever wrote this book should go to jail for content faud. End of story.Good other Book,
November 05, 2007 This book seems to be exactly a C++ for Microsoft software step by step. If you do not understand the computer program, expect to want a teach yourself book for the same Visual C++. However, this book starts you off writing a program in the start of the book. I found other books that expect one to read the whole book before you even touch the software. This book seems to be split between a lesson and a manual, but more like the manual only that could come with the software from Microsoft Press. This book is typical of Microsoft because it is as if it says just write our Visual C++, never mind other concepts, only you need the Microsoft way as long as it works with this complier and that is all you really need to know. This book is all about Microsoft and it's world of Windows software.Not much to it......,
October 21, 2005 I agree with a previous reviewer who said that the authors didn't pay much attention to who the target audience was for this book.
It starts off like a C++ book, then you have some .NET stuff thrown in (ofcourse, you are not told why you need them, its like "This is a .NET book, and there has to be some .NET material!!"). I have been programming in C++ for quite long, and I thought I could progress to .NET with this one. I was wrong. The book doesnt even take time off to explain what "Managed" C++ is all about. There are some nuggets of info here and there, but its so disorganised, I dont think they will benefit anyone.
