Since about 1995, programs consist of buttons, text boxes etc. on various forms. (i.e. for the last 15 years)There is no mention of buttons, forms, windows, or text boxes at all in this book.There are roughly 1200 pages in this book and it seems that all of these pages deal with an output function called "cout" which puts text on the screen.I don't need to "put text on the screen" I need to put "buttons on the screen". That, unbelievably, is not in the book.No reference to graphics, bitmaps, transparency, drawing -> nothing.It seems to be a 1200 page c++ syntax reference.I have about 30 years of in-depth programming experience and my only question is "how can I send it back".It's not only a waste of money, it was a real waste of time. (having read the first 150 pages "hoping" it would sooner or later get better.
