Title: Not for beginners
Product review: One of the worst introductory books I've seen. There are many unrelated windows/OOP topics in the first week. When teaching you the programming, I found the difficulty level is poorly handled. In the first day of real programming, you are taught threads! For a beginner, you have to learn many of the common components by yourself, the book doesn't help you much. The authors claimed to be VB programmers too. They should have read 'Teach yourself VB 5 in 21 days' and 'Teach yourself C++ in 21 days' before starting to write.
