I have bought hundreds of technical books over the years to keep pace with the rapidly changing world of technology. This would probably rank down there in the bottom. This is a type of book you would expect to use in a "MCSD in 2 days!" commercial type course you see sprouting out everywhere nowadays. The book is littered with very superficial explanations in the code examples. It ends up being one of those books "do this > compile > next chapter" instead of "here is the problem we are trying to solve > we can solve it like this with .VC++NET >step through the code and explain each step > compile > try another example to reinforce". It leaves beginners lost after a few chapters, and gives nothing to programmers with a slightest bit of experience that they can't find on MSDN examples & tutorials. As you walk through the examples, you'll find many times they don't actually follow along with what end up being the final compiled code. The biggest disappointment of this book is that it is based on Visual Studio.NET 2002, with a very weak update on CD for VS 2003. In November 2005 MS released various flavors of VS.NET Express for free, utilizing .NET 2.0 framework. In other words, you are buying a book based on essentially deprecated technologies. Download one of the new VS express editions, take a took at the examples, and please save your money.
