Title: good intention and useful, but disastrous C++ example code
Review: I agree mostly with the other reviewers to say that this book is useful to someextent for its brief review of molecular simulation and more so for the chapteron object oriented programing.However, I am really annoyed by the bad job done on the actual C++ examplecode. While the class structure done in UML seems OK, the actual code is of avery bad style and very misleading. I object to the fact that the code is still fartoo procedural and encapsulation and information hiding have not really beenused at all. I found this really misleading, since I wanted to use the code and adaptit to my own needs. There are some pretty dodgy style conventions also, such asthe inclusion of header files in header files, inconsistent class structure.Beginners beware and keep a proper C++ for scientists and engineers bookon the side.
Is the review positive or negative?
