Summary: Worst examples I've encountered in a book
Review: While this book may have good intents, it is full of flaws... both the in the nature of the examples presented (there's no expected output, or the example is structured such that there wouldn't be any), and the quality of the examples. Not surprising as the examples are absolutly riddled with errors, including the code on the CD-ROM. It's clear that nobody ever tried to execute most of the sample code as much of it simply does not execute without compile errors. If you already know what you're doing you can fix them easily enough... but then, why would you buy the book. Qualifies as the worst book investment I have ever made. Even the IDG feedback site doesn't respond! Avoid this title like the plague if you really want information that will help you figure this stuff out.
