Title: An embarassment to Herb Schildt
Review: First, the CD purported on the front cover to be "packed with ready to use code" contains slightly over 2mb of uncompressed source.The methods used in several sections are trivial to worthless. In the first chapter considerable analysis is given to a bubble sort. Fine, but the other methods are hardly better. AND the source had to be modified to run on my Borland compiler which objected to some mis-applied functions in these exceedingly simple examples.The back cover proclaims "The ultimate collection of robust code and expert techniques..". 2mb of trivial methods belie this.Overall there is way too much analysis ado over mostly trivial methods.I respect Herb Schildt who wrote the preface and recommend his "Teach yourself C++" way, way over this book.
