Negative Positive
Title: Useless book.
Review: Starting as a C and C++ pro, I was looking after a book to apply my knowledge to Windows using Visual C++. I came from other systems (unix...).Target : get all basics in order to shorten by beginner stage.For about a year, from a beginner to independant developper status, almost anything I was looking for in this book happened to be fruitless. Everytime the MSDN Help online from VC++ was much more helptful.Let me give a simple example :- you want to display a button with a bitmap. Nothing from the Index. You go to "Adding controls to your application" - none. "Bitmaps..." : nope.VC++ help : you go to the index, "bitmaps" a few lines below "button" and... you got it.
Is the review positive or negative?
