[CSI] Questions About the Book

#pragma once

is a Microsoft invention, considered non-standard and was somewhat
discouraged from use due to compatibility issues. These days it seems
most compilers support it.

Do you recommend any of these chapters and if so, why aren???t they on the website? I have the 5th edition so I don???t know if there???s any discrepancies. If you don???t recommend these chapters, let me know. I???ve attached a picture of the table of contents so you can see exactly what I???m talking about.

Well, Gregoire changes the book chapter numbers from edition to edition. Let
me check his most recent edition to see what the appropriate chapter
numbers are.

Please reed the STL chapters.

Thanks,
