Visual C++6 for Dummies

Rating:
Summary: Buy something else
Review: This is undoubtedly the worst C++ book I have seen. It spends so much time being cute and funny (well TRYING to be funny) that it fails to teach the material. It is broken up into many little incomprehensible parts. Each part has a name that does not tell what it is about because the authors are trying to use silly little puns for titles. Nor does the order of the parts contribute to learning anything.
After reading this (well trying to read it) I was more confused than when I started. Stay away from this one at all costs. A better choice is Beginning Visual C++ 6 by Ivor Horton.
