Manuals:

We are now swamped with online manuals that are hyperlinked and supercharged. I just spent a fortnight inside the MSDN and C++ manuals for Visual Studio 2010. It was a less than pleasant experience.

At least with the Navy and the ammo manual you would get drawings and examples. At Microsoft you get : createthread, a brief explanation and no examples. When it does not work one is left to the tender mercies of the internet.

I was using a base code from Microsoft that would not compile on their latest compiler, even though it was the latest kit.

Ransome at least takes you along, MSDN takes you to hell in a basket.
