With this book you will learn how to create applications using MDI, complex file formats, text parsing and processing, graphics, and interactions. Every essential skill required to build Windows desktop-style applications is covered in the context of fully working examples.
The book begins with a quick primer on the C++ language, and...
Browsing in a bookstore recently, I was discouraged to see the dryness of so many C and C++ texts. Few authors conveyed the idea that anyone might enjoy programming. All the wonderment was squeezed out by long boring passages of prose. Useful perhaps, if you can stay awake long enough to read it. But programming isn't like that!
"The present volume is the second one of a trilogy on formal development of large scale systems. Each topic is presented by means of many examples . The end of each chapter includes several exercises that demonstrate the topics in a more realistic setting. The quite large spectrum of modelling and specification...
This book is for software developers who want to learn how to get started using ClojureScript
to build web browser applications. This book will not assume any prior
knowledge of ClojureScript. We do assume that you have at least a basic working knowledge
of the core JavaScript language. For the sections of this book...
A collection of articles on key topics in computer game programming. Highlights include coverage of artificial intelligence, geometry management, audio programming, and other topics. The CD-ROM contains code and demos for the text. System requires a C and C++ x86 assembler, Open GL, and Direct3D. DLC: Computer games--Programming. ...
An important aspect of teaching a course in compiler writing is to illustrate
the key theoretical concepts normally taught in such a course. A frequently used
strategy for achieving this goal is to have a student design a simple programming
language and implement a compiler for this language. Many texts in compiler
writing do not,...
All software developers use languages, which are the fundamental tool of the trade. Despite curiosity about how languages work, few developers actually understand how. Unfortunately, most texts on language and compiler development are hard to digest, written from academic platforms for use in college-level computer science programs. On the...
It is not necessary to learn the Windows API in order to begin using the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library of C++ classes; you do not even have to know more than a few basic C++ concepts in order to begin. I have been teaching extension classes through the University of California, Berkeley, since 1993. My students have...
Whether building a console application, a web service, or a smart client, you eventually need to distribute your finished work. Deploying .NET Applications is a complete guide to delivering applications built with .NET. Packed with hands-on guidance, practical examples, and war stories from the authors' many experiences with deployment...
In the beginning, code was written using simple text-based tools like Notepad. For the purposes of this discussion, I’ll define “beginning” as the early to mid-1990s, when Java first started to become popular. Using the combination of a text editor and command prompt, users could write and compile code.
