Title: After reading, I felt I had learned almost nothing
Product review: I program/analyze by visualizing what is happening and this book was almost useless for me. The 'type this, now see this does that' style was immensely irritating and gave me almost no insight into how the overall structure of windows programming using C++ works.Picked up Mastering C++ and Microsoft Press's Inside Visual C++ and actually learned why I was doing what I was being asked to type, instead of just seeing cool effects. The only thing I did learn was about the visual toolbars for creating the look of the interface.
