Title: Great book, covers areas that are left out of other books
Review: I just bought Visual C++ compiler. I have never used it before but I knew what I wanted to do with it. I wanted to write a small program to dial my modem using TAPI (Telephone Aplication Interface). This is the only book that I could find that had any mention of TAPI. Also, when I had a problem because I need to link with tapi32.dll this is the one book that explained how to link to dll's. I saw other books in the book store and they were inadequate at covering such a basic topic. I agree that there should be more examples. I want examples that I can compile, link and execute and then start modifying (like the "Java Examples in a Nutshell" book). This is a great book though.
Is the review positive or negative?
