Title: Re-hash of VC++ 6 version
Review: IT appears that the they just updated the prior version of this book, which was not great either. The same useless "scribble" program raises it's head again, something that very few of us will ever need to develop for our work. Then you get to the database section and they use ADO. It seems useless to use ADO in the C++ world, clearly if you are using C++ it is assumed you are going for performance and would use OLEDB directly, not adding the extra layer of ADO with all of its variant data types being passed around.
Is the review positive or negative?
