| Visual C++ in 12 Easy Lessons is aimed primarily at beginning programmers who have never programmed or have never seen a C++ program. Text, questions, exercises, and numerous program listings are aimed at both beginning programmers and those new to Visual C++.
If you already program but have never had the time to tackle Visual C++, this book is right for you because it teaches more than just the language. This book attempts to teach you how to program correctly, concentrating on proper coding techniques in addition to the Visual C++ language.
This book does not attempt to cover the difficult topic of Windows programming because we believe you need to know the basics of programming first.
Visual C++ in 12 Easy Lessons extends the traditional programming textbook tutorial by offering all the text and language syntax needed for newcomers to C++. It also offers complete program examples, exercises, questions, tips, warnings, notes—and, of course, a full-featured Visual C++ compiler.
This book focuses on programming correctly in Visual C++ by teaching structured programming techniques and proper program design. Emphasis is placed on a program's readability rather than on "tricks of the trade" code examples. In this changing world, programs should be clear, properly structured, and well documented. This book doesn't waver from that philosophy. |
