With this book you will learn how to create applications using MDI,
complex file formats, text parsing and processing, graphics, and
interactions. Every essential skill required to build Windows
desktop-style applications is covered in the context of fully working
examples.

The book begins with a quick primer on the C++ language, and using the
Visual C++ IDE to create Windows applications. This acts as a recap for
existing C++ programmers, and a quick guide to the language if you?ve
not worked with C++ before. The book then moves into a set of
comprehensive example applications, presenting the important parts of
the code with explanation of how it works, and how and when to use
similar techniques in your own applications.

The applications include: a Tetris-style game, a drawing application, a
spreadsheet, and a word processor.

If you know the C++ language, or another Windows-based programming
language, and want to use C++ to write real, complex applications then
this book is ideal for you.
