Summary: A good book at last
Review: This is the third [price] book I have bought to learn how to program with C++ and Windows.I finally found a book that took me step-by-step through understanding C++ and then writing Windows code. The book is about 1000 pages. Some of the stuff I'm not really interested in but I guess they had to put in in the book to make it a "complete" reference. The code they have written is short and to the point. I can finally figure out how to use methods and set parameters for Windows. One of the first programs I wrote was a knock off of a bar chart program they had in the book. With about a week of work (I could do it faster now) I converted they program to a bar chart program that has + and - bar chart values. I wanted to write a program that would show temperatures above and below freezing ;and this did the trick. Good book, good code

Summary: Wrong book
Review: Well, this is the wrong book if you are an expert C++ programmer. However, as a beginner looking for a complete reference and a good treatment of C++ I found this book to be excellant. Very well styled, easy to read, lots of examples, lots of topics!!!!!, and a great index.
