Query: A big mistake

This book was a big mistake. It is a complete zero as far as providing the most basic fundamental explainations necessary to understanding Windows programming with Visual C++, and it is even more of a complete zero as far as providing detailed insight. It basically provides an 1100 page description of how code is generated using the AppWizard and the ClassWizard. With this book, those who want to learn and write their own code will eventually reach a critical level of frustration, and tear it to shreds as I have done.
