Review title: Good introduction but has many faults
Product review: This book introduces the reader to the AppWizard and ClassWizard. Much of the book focus is on actual windows calls which can leave the novice lost in the code. Chapters are long and subject occasionally goes off on a tangent (see chapter 3). The web site that contains the program listings is not complete. The download database associated with chapter 5 is corrupt.The Active X control used in chapter 3 is not part of the developer studio and must be purchased seperately. The book does familiarize the reader with the Wizards but like most books of this nature, misses the mark when relating to typical dialog-based business applications that are composed primairily with list boxes, grids, edit controls, radio buttons, etc (real world applications).
