Lawrenceville Press: A guide to programming in c++

a warning to anyone who even remotly considered buying this book! dont it is utter crap! worst c++ book i have ever seen... damn school made me buy it :( the reason it is so bad is because it does not teach you c++. it teaches you a Lawrenceville Press version of c++ :( they have all these retarded librairies that they want you to use... they even have you using their modified msvc++ 6.0 compiler

randomize.h <- common is srand(time(NULL)) that hard?!
string.h <- common is char that hard?! by the way its not the string.h found in most c++ compilers they seem to have removed that :P
array.h <- they dont want you thinking :P i guess char[10][10] is too complex
gui.h <- couldnt they teach us the real way?!

in conclusion dont buy this pos!

>they even have you using their modified msvc++ 6.0 compiler
Lame. Will their code run on other compilers? If not then I'll have to agree with you.

nope =[

Can you post some code to look at and try compiling? This sounds interesting :)
