- I thought the book was great as far as a beginner level is concerned. Now I am
- interested in beginning to program on a more applicable, grander scale. So I
- guess I need more reference and application material. For those reading this
- thread, I would definitely recommend Mr. Liberty's book if you want to learn
- the language. Everything from basics to copy constructors to templates are
- covered.

- Windows programming is important to me, but I also want to get into the DOS
- environment. The only thing I could think of that might be good to implement
- in your next edition/book would be a practical (yet not too expansive)
- application and how to build it from the ground up. Of course, some folks
- might not like the approach, but to each his own.
