They should pay someone to create a good modern tutorial/book how to develop real commercial applications, not just include code of trivial examples.

I'm using C++ Builder in my day job and the documentation is sparse, with very few examples and most recent books are from the early 2000's.



Alternatively try to look at C++/WinRT with WinUI, and you will get an appreciation for C++ Builder.

Microsoft still hasn't managed to offer anything similar for C++ (other than the shortly lived C++/CX) in 25 years.

Although I do agree the documentation is awful, specially when compared with the old Borland printed manuals.
