Title: Useless except to beginner VC++ 6.0 students
Review: The authors of this book clearly have no experience in modern C++. Even considering the book was written in 1999, it is woefully outdated. No C++ strings, no C++ standard headers, no STL. Further, the book clearly targets Visual C++ 6.0 users. It has little value if you use a modern C++ compiler, whether that compiler is a more recent edition of Visual C++, or whether it is gcc, Borland C++, or any of the other options.Even ignoring those problems, the book claims to be for intermediate or advanced programmers. This is a stretch. Beginners may find some information they did not already know, but the concepts are entirely too simplistic for advanced developers. There are far, far better C++ books out there. Stay away from this one.
