Title: Not for the uninitiated
Review: I'm sure that this book would be great, IF you had a working knowledge of C++ first. The only reason I got the book was for the compiler, and possibly to learn C++. I quickly found out that the book itself was completely lacking on any real C++ instruction. I think its really great that I can build a dialog box...but its absolutely useless to me if I can't call up the dialog box from a program that I've written. So therefore I'm on another book learning C++ and will come back to this one when I feel I need to build programs in windows. Again, If you want to learn C++, this is not the book to do it.
Is the review positive or negative?
