Title: dissapointing to say the least
Product review: This book attempts to solve a problem relating to Visual C++ for Win 95: how do you enable beginners and hobbists to use MFC, an incredibly complex and rich professional development system? The solution presented here involves what I like to call a "click click duh duh" approach, in which the reader is given a list of steps to perform, which, when completed, will result in a finished win32 application. Does it work? yes. Is it programming? no. I don't really believe anyone will benefit from reading this. In order to be able to use VC++, a programmer will have to be able to apply his or her knowlegde in a myriad of situations, not just be able to follow a set of written directions. Besides, the writing style, which apparently assumes the reader has the brain of a garden slug, made me want to retch
