Reading first Part of this book was enough for me to have a whole idea about the quality of material in this book. The author starts with throwing some OOP concepts to the reader as time saving practices that has nothing to do with time! If someone have the knowledge of C++ OOP find nothing special, and if someone know nothing about OOP would not understand any time saving thing from Encapsulation, Abstraction, ...

As a note, the term Encoding is not common to be used as encryption in computer science. So it is better to teach people credible concepts with valid terms.

On the other hand, XOR encryption can be deciphered in a matter of second. It is also not a good idea to teach incorrect things though this book is not about encryption.
