For serious developers who want to learn C++, Core Visual C++ 6.0 covers all the professional tools and techniques needed to build industrial-strength applications. Get up-and-running with Visual C++ quickly: then master the key Visual C++ techniques and features most important for serious Windows development. Learn how to build sophisticated user interfaces using the Document/View Architecture; master multithreading and the constructs needed to implement it. Understand the Windows file system, and master the classes and methods available for file manipulation. Incorporate printing in your application; learn how to use the Visual C++ debugger and profiler; and more. Like all Core books, Core Visual C++ 6 offers real-world explanations targeted at experienced developers -- and real, non-trivial code. For experienced programmers who want to learn Visual C++.

BASIC APPROACH PLEASE PROVIDE COURSE INFORMATION

Through self-paced lessons and hands-on labs, readers learn how to design and implement distributed client/server solutions using Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0. Training helps build skills in 9 critical areas, including: creating user interface, building and managing COM components, and more. CD contains lab exercises, demos and model application.

An established C++ expert uses real-world examples to bring intermediate-level programmers and developers up to speed with the latest version of C++. Holzner explores advanced graphics, creating and synchronizing multithreaded programs, and using Windows hooks to capture keystrokes.

Practical Visual C++ takes a straight forward, no-nonsense approach to teaching C++. You start by learning the basics of Developer Studio with the use of the Wizards, editors, and debuggers. Then move on to the core language, including program flow, data types, functions, classes, object-oriented programming, and more. You then progress into the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), the libraries of pre-build classes that Microsoft provides to make Visual C++ programming much easier. By understanding how to use the classes within MFC, you will be able to create nearly any type of program. Specific coverage includes working with dialogs, objects, controls, document-views, file manipulation, and printing.

C# builds on the skills already mastered by C++ and Java programmers, enabling them to create powerful Web applications and components - ranging from XML-based Web services on Microsoft's .NET platform to middle-tier business objects and system-level applications.
