Another book that was valuable for me, during my years as a student, from the basics to more advanced, thanks to this book I learnt this programming language very fast

Get out your magnifying glass and old dos system.
This is a review of the Sixth Edition.
The book starts straightforwardly. And does a fair job of instructing on how to install the CD. It assumes you already know what product “code: block” yet helps you load and execute it. I got as far as the build and it said it did (however, I could not find the file). Then the run command said that first, you have to build it. Now the loop begins.
I suspect that the problem is that even though Vista -64 has been out for a year and this is supposed to be a version for 2009 the GCC or the compiler options like the IBM c/c++ “-q64” that are not discussed in this book are not geared for a 64-bit operating system.
Long story short the CD is useless. Now there is also very little chance of getting hold of anyone from the Dummies publishers or the Author to get this corrected. The codeblock.org does not show that they have a version that works on Vista 64-bit but their list is of compilers, not operating systems.
