Sams Offers Two New Tutorials for Microsoft Borland C++ Programmers

(Carmel, Indiana)--Programming Windows applications can be a complex and
baffling experience. Users need a solid Windows programming reference, in
order to write effective, efficient Windows programs that achieve desired
results. Sams' two new programming books offer users just this type of
reference for Borland C++ and Microsoft C/C++.

Developing Windows Applications with Borland C++ 3.1, Second Edition

This complete tutorial and reference has everything users need--programming
techniques, reference information, and compiler information, so they can
create great Windows programs. First, users learn how Borland C++ 3.1 can
be used to write Windows applications. Users also learn the basic
components of a Windows application, including the WinMain function, the
message loop, window procedures, and resource files.

Building on this knowledge, the in-depth tutorials help users construct and
control all aspects of an application, such as the graphical device
interfaces, mouse and keyboard input, resources, and child window
controls. Users benefit from Developing Windows Applications with Borland
C++ 3.1's tactics on using Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs), the Resource
Workshop, and the ObjectWindows Library. As they progress, Windows
programming capabilities are enhanced and they gain better memory
management techniques. Plus, an essential and complete reference section
of Windows functions, messages, and printer escapes gives readers quick
information when they need it most.

Developing Windows 3.1 Applications with Microsoft C/C++, Second Edition

This book provides readers with a ready-to-use tutorial and reference. It's
filled with expert techniques--from simple to complex--that ensure
readers' Windows programming success.

Instead of filing hundreds of rules away in their brains, users have a
complete three part book as a guide for professional-quality Windows
applications. Users can advance step-by-step through the process of
writing their own Windows applications. The first section describes the
Windows environment and thoroughly discusses each part of a skeletal
Windows application, so they will know how to use graphics, dialog
functions, and devise contexts.

Each chapter of Developing Windows 3.1 Applications with Microsoft C/C++
focuses on a specific aspect of Windows for in-depth information and
better understanding of concepts. A number of complete applications are
described in detail, including working client and server applications.
Once users are ready, the book delves into advanced topics like Dynamic
Data Exchange (DDE), Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), custom child
controls, and memory management.
