Horton's accessible approach and detailed examples cover both flavors of the C++ language-native ISO/ANSIC++ Windows application development using the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), as well as the development of C++/CLI Windows applications using Windows Forms. He also introduces you to the techniques you can use for accessing data sources in both MFC and Windows Forms, and working examples demonstrate each programming technique that is being discussed. With this book by your side, you are well on your way to becoming a successful C++ programmer.

An entertaining oportunity to get to know one of today's most influential developer/authors.


— IT Conversations' producer Doug Kaye interviews Joel Spolsky

Joel Spolsky began his legendary web log in March 2000, in order to offer insights for improving the world of programming. Spolsky based these observations on years of personal experience.

The result just a handful of years later? Spolsky's technical knowledge, caustic wit, and extraordinary writing skills have earned him status as a programming guru! His blog has become renowned throughout the programming world--now linked to more than six hundred websites and translated into over thirty languages.

Joel on Software covers every conceivable aspect of software programming--from the best way to write code, to the best way to design an office in which to write code! All programmers, all people who want to enhance their knowledge of programmers, and all who aretrying to manage programmers will surely relate to Joel's musings.
