The dazzling world of fractals is now at the fingertips of any computer user with a wonderful new program, included with the book, which combines the features of fractal microscope, a paint prgram, and a lab bench. It's called FRACTINT, and it lets users control fractal generation, manipulation, editing, alteration and storage. The program enables users to generate any of 60 built-in fractals or type in their own fractal formulas.

No background in C is required to learn to program in C++ with this innovative computer-based training system. -- Covers everything needed for writing OOP programs -- Goes over the fundamentals of C that are common to C++ -- Monitors progress like a patient teacher -- Teaches object-oriented programming and the C++ language syntax quickly and efficiently

A new, more powerful version of FRACTINT--an ingenious program that works like a combination fractal microscope, paint program, and lab bench. Enables users to create any of 95 built-in fractals or type in their own fractal formulas to create completely original patterns. With two companion disks and red/blue 3D glasses. color insert.

This one-step reference to the more than 600 Windows API functions contains all the information a programmer requires--when and where it's needed. Functions are organized by chapter and are documented and used in a sample program clearly illustrating its uses and capabilities.
