I said it as it was a bit of an online argument lol. 

I disagreed with the people behind it and thought it was more jealousy
based then anything else.

I don�t know the guy personally but I have read a copy of his CFC book and
it was nothing but a grab for cash.

If I remember correctly the book is a few hundred pages long but only 15
pages max are useful all the rest is non required code pastes and other
ramblings about who created C++ and who created Small talk.

Which is nothing but padding, the authors simply couldn�t think of
anything good to write so they tried to pad the book with useless info
I once read 100 pages of 1 of the Fusebox books only to find the first 100
pages had nothing to do with teaching fusebox so I gave up and now its a
door stop.

I now actually support the people that warned me and no longer pass them
off as jealous.

Maybe he is a top instructor and even a top guy, but he sure as hell is
guilty of making a dash for cash when it comes to some of his books.

stick to instructing I say and if ya can only fill a book with 15 pages
relating to the title then simply sell it as a 15 page book.


Now I get this strange feeling this thread will turn into a slanging match
lol.
