Plus the regular News and other sections...

[Sumeet_naik]

No OpenOffice..?

[k_blues24]

4 me Only fast track is useful

[skippednote]

Thanx for game reviews

[azaad_shri75]

articles seems to be ok, however media contents suck,

mag should have two versions , one with media discs and one without media .

[New]

Thanks for the early review and FAST TRACK

[redhat]

The mag contents and CD/DVD contents both are equally bad!! Especially after last month's issue!!!
But I think i might just buy the mag for its fast track!! It will help teach the theory in programming in C++ i hope??

[j_h]

preview on the 24 th ? Wow . Hats off to you man ! Happy Diwali to you Raaabo.

[victor_rambo]

I am gonna get myself the Nov issue!

[ThinkFree]

^^Why? Did you find anything special in that issue?

[Quiz_Master]

The only reason I am going to get the magazine is for Magazine Content!

CD/DVD contents are NO good!
Not a single linux distro

[redhat]

Just got the mag, its already sold out on book stands here in Mumbai!!
Anyway, the fast track to c++ is pretty good, needed something like this.. now I can bunk all my college lectures!!
But, getting serious, I found a error in the Fast track, the index isnt quite an index since the page numbers specified are not the page nos. exactly. E.g : Index states topic "Function Prototype" is on pg. 62 while it is actually on Pg. 66!!
Please take care of such errors in the future!!

[sumigizlov]

i think this issue is totally worthless
cd/dvd contents are crappy

[rohit1985]

dis is my first time.....so dont no whether dis is d right place to post my problem.........
the problem is .........dat i have got corrupt cds in both my october and november issues.......i jus want to know dat whther posting it will b enough or is der any other method also.?????????

[utsav]

@rohit1985 mail to their help center

[Siddhartha_t69]

Haven't bought the mag in months, frankly.
This month, i'll do.

I hope the CD?DVD issues are not prevalent.

[toofan]

Mogambo khush hua?

[ash]

Folks, did you notice Raabo's pic on page 1. This is a 'special' issue in that sense and he deserves an applause, don't you think?

[ThinkFree]

Someone who has got the mag please answer. What is in fast track? Just basics of C++ or advanced topics?

[azaad_shri75]

I do have the same question.

[drsubhadip]

not a single linux distro???????????
no open office ???
how can number one mag of our country can forget FOSS and opensource content in november issue?

[toofan]

How many times do you need open office. Every issue of digit has this. Why don't you grab it from past month DVD.
And do the same for linux distros.
Problem solved.

and Raboo you seems smoking in you Avatar. Don't you know that smoking in public place is against law.

[g_suresh_mps]

Fast Track 2 C++ only usefull !!!

[redhat]

All those having doubts regarding the Fast Track, The FT is only for new learners, basic theory and programming concepts, upto arrays and pointers, not a very big deal, but for people like me, yes its quite good!!

Seems you don't know that OpenOffice3 was released too recently and you won't find it in a any DVD provided by DIGIT.

[Gigacore]

pretty good contents.. cool fast track topic

[hjpotter92]

I got the book only half an hour ago, and was enthrilled to see my letter published. See INBOX, go to a post entitled "I'll put a spell on you". The mag is great. I loved the book, (bcoz of the letter )
