Title: Someone PLEASE Teach the Author to Outline!
Product review: Beware of books written by technical document writers who fancy themselves authors. Mr. Sphar may have a handle on Visual C++, but has no talent for logical progression. The first 6 or so chapters of the book are especially disappointing, as much of the time is spent mentioning a topic and then explaining that the topic will be explained in later chapters of the book <whew!> or is covered in the Visual C++ help files, and will NOT be covered in the book! The only valuable information I found was in Sphar's recommendation that I obtain the C++ Primer by Stan Lippman. My advice: skip Sphar, buy Lippman
