Summary: Very good collection of articles
Comment: Of course since I was one of the original people that ran CodeGuru before it was sold, it probably comes as little surprise that I would like this book :) However, regardless of my past ties, I do believe this is a fine addition to anyone's tech library as it provides a fine collection of articles/code in a very well organized format. I also like how the editors selected and categorized the articles they selected which could not have been an easy task as CG contains over literally thousands of articles.
I do agree with Keith Rule (a valuable contributor to CG over the years) that I wish they had contacted me regarding my own articles that appear in the book as I have more current versions of my code that are not on their site. If anyone wishes to access the updated code, please contact me through my web site at:

Summary: Perfect for the Visual C++ programmer
Comment: This book covers all the bases and is ideal for both beginners and experienced programmers. I found a lot of neat articles in the book, most I'd not seen when visiting the web site.
The organization of the book is well thought out and very easy to navigate. Anyone that is serious about Visual C++ or MFC programming needs this book. You would have to look very hard to find the equivalent to what is in this book
As well as superb articles, the smattering of forum excerpts and comments make reading each article very informative. I have been programming for many years and have learned a lot just by reading this book. I'll keep it close by from now on.
I strongly recommend this book - at any price!

Summary: A bit dated, but not bad
Comment: I agree with the other reviewers that this book is a bit dated. They should have included some info on VS 7.0. But the biggest surprize to me was to see several articles attributed to me. Yes, I did contribute to Codeguru but I wasn't even aware that book had been published until a ran across the book on Amazon while looking for something else.
I wish they would have contacted me when considering the articles for inclusion. At least one of the article attributed to me has several annoying errors do to problems codeguru had early on when dealing with source code and html (I had tried several times to get the typos fixed on codeguru with no success). I would have happily given them corrections. Oh well.
So pages 119-128 have code several typos in the code (substitute -> for - in several places in the code).
Other than that it's a good addition to my programming bookshelf.
