Title: 'Teach Yourself' because the book doesn't
Review: This is the worst computer related book I have ever read. Each chapter introduces some topic of C/C++ programming(variable in one, functions in another, etc.) almost at random. The rest of the chapter will introduce a new topic of Windows programming using Visual C++. The problem is that it doesn't teach anything. Williams simply walks through the steps he takes to make a program without explaining why he is doing it or what predefined functions and classes mean. His method of teaching is so bad that the material that I am already familiar with makes very little sense. Bottom line: This book is of little to no help in teaching Visual C++.
