I only flipped through it at the bookshop, but doesn't this book use FLTK-2 rather than FLTK-1? Just like transposing music from one key to another, it should be relatively straightforward to translate the examples from FLTK-2 to FLTK-1. However, as you are new to C++ you might find it easier to stick with FLTK-2 as this uses "more modern" C++ techniques. The fly in the ointment is that FLTK-2 never reached a stable release, development is currently dormant, and the denizens of fltk.* all seem to be FLTK-1 users...
