Publisher's Synopsis
Rather than showing readers how to overload functions and derive classes, this text teaches programmers how to use this tool to make their applications more powerful, effective and intuitive. Each of the 20 chapters includes an introduction; descriptions of the example program and class library; three hands-on, step-by-step tutorials; shareware and public domain utilities; commercial demos; and a wrapup. Readers learn to make the most of the new C++ features, including: support for the Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS); third-party ActiveX Controls; performance enhancements for large products; the latest MFCs (including Internet support for creating feature-rich applications). The CD-ROM consists of: fully compiled class libraries, demo programs, hands-on exercises, complete standards files for all major picture formats, demo versions of top commercial libraries and more.
