Title: Too many mistakes
Review: I typically like the dummies books for introductions into subjects. For basic concepts, this book does very well. However, the programming language examples are in a couple different forms of BASIC, C++ and a mac compiler.I don't know if it's the book itself or the accompanying cd, but NONE of the C++ programs work properly. I've been forced to try and learn how to correct some of the most basic mistakes off of the internet, but it has really hampered my ability to learn this programming language, especially as the programs get more complex.This is the 4th and most recent addition. I would assume that enough sales to quantify four iterations would qualify this book for a technical editor, not just someone with a firm grasp of English.Wiley Publishing, please stop making computer study aids edited by people that don't understand the technical terms and programs. I've wasted hours just trying to figure out what's wrong instead of actually LEARNING.
