I've got the 2nd edition (3.0), 3rd edition (3.1), 4th edition(95), and 5th edition(98 etc).
I've worked through the first 3 and still can't program windoze to save my life...
Not to mention "Teach yersen Visual C++ V1.5 in 21 days" which is dreadful.
The 2nd edition was the first one I used (ClientCo copy) and I've still got the 5th edition on my shelf.
I remember Inside Visual C++ by David Kruglinksi being pretty decent. After he was killed in a paragliding accident the series was continued by Scot Wingo and George Shepherd.
Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?
Right, Off to the hairdressers and then the dentist - not sure which I dread most
I once got cut at the top of my ear by the barber. They cut out a chunk of skin on the edge of the hairline. What grew back is scar tissue that grows really, really thick orange bristles. These are like the wire in a copper wire brush. They itch as they are growing and have been an annoyance for the five or ten years or so since it happened.
Yet I prefer hairdressers to dentists any day.

There's ALWAYS cake.....and sweets and treats - daily. This is one of the unhealthiest projects i've worked on.
As I speak there are 7 empty (big) tins of Quality Street/ Roses on the "dining" area, and one of the managers has brought in a "hallowe'en mix" of sweets. I'm sure the members of this team must have put on loads of pounds over the time i've been here!
As I have contracted around England & Wales I have discovered the further north you go, the more generous people are with free nosh in the office.
Darn Sarf there's nothing to be had beyond small bowls of sunflower seed kernels and bird seed. And in London, nothing at all.
In Leeds there was little need to buy food at all during the week as you could sustain yourself on the cakes, biccies, sweets and other freebies brought in daily and left available in just about every office.
