Learn Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Now (Learn Now)

LEARN MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 6.0 NOW is organized around a sample program that the author develops incrementally throughout the book. The aim is to teach MFC skills, moving readers along in a well-planned sequence of lessons. The main example is an "object-oriented" drawing program along the lines of Microsoft Image Composer or Micrografx Designer, but much simpler. The book moves in an evolutionary fashion, adding complexity to the features and types of data.

In addition to the primarily graphical orientation of the main sample, LEARN MICROSOFT VISUAL C++ 6.0 NOW also develops a text-based example to illustrate the rudiments of drawing text, using fonts, and the like. Also, the author creates numerous small samples that isolate single techniques. The book assumes that the reader has mastered programming fundamentals with C or another high-level language.
