Product Description

Product Description
If writing over 70 lines of C code to display "Hello, World" seems like a cumbersome way to develop software, then Windows++ is the book for you. By taking an object-oriented approach to Windows programming, Paul DiLascia shows you how to reuse code and reduce development time. This book describes how to build a C++ class library-a set of reusable subroutines that drastically reduces the amount of code needed to write Windows applications. Rather than teach you how to use commercially available class libraries, Windows++ shows you how to build your own system, one that's tailored to suit your needs. Along the way, you'll learn the benefits and ease of object oriented programming in C++. Highlighted tips show how to adapt the various tricks and techniques to C. Here are some of the benefits you'll realize: *a simpler, easier, and more reliable approach to Windows programming than that described in the Microsoft Software Development Kit *reduced development time in building Windows applications through reusing code *code that is as portable as possible across platforms.Written for people familiar with C programming language, Windows++ shows how to overcome the many quirks and flaws that often puzzle the Windows programmer. 020160891XB04062001

5.0 out of 5 stars Windows gets OOPed., 25 Aug 1997
By A Customer
DiLascia's writing style is very readable, but you better know something about C++ and object-oriented programming. Personally, I had to learn about more before approaching the subject. Now I would place it next to Petzold's Programming Windows books for insight and value to my library. Published in 1992, the companion disk IS STILL available from the author: Paul DiLascia, 30 Duck Rd, Reading, MA 01867-1729 or email: dilascia@pobox.com. I wish there were a revised edition for Windows 95/NT.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine book without a lot of the hype, 15 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This is the best book for people who want to structure Windows especially its GUI aspects, from the ground up. You'll need a reference like Petzold along, but DiLascia makes things look deceptively easy. A lightweight framework is designed and discussed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for the truly serious windows c++ programmer, 16 Feb 1997
By A Customer
The book is excellent, as it covers in depth how a class library is constructed, along with the logic and windows knowledge components. Although built for the old win 3.x system, it gives a good basis for the construction of one's own personal c++ class gui library. As was stated in the book, the best way to understand the inner workings of a class library is to build your own. This book allows an experienced yet learning programmer to develop top notch system programming. I give the book a nine, because it "does not" include a digital copy of the programs in the book. I started to type the code in, but 100+ pages of it is really too much. The author has an order form in the back of the book, but no access via the webb and the book is five years old, so I guess the reader has to type, eh?
