With the award-winning book Agile Software Development: Principles, Patterns, and Practices, Robert C. Martin helped bring Agile principles to tens of thousands of Java and C++ programmers. Now .NET programmers have a definitive guide to agile methods with this completely updated volume from Robert C. Martin and Micah Martin, Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C#. This book presents a series of case studies illustrating the fundamentals of Agile development and Agile design, and moves quickly from UML models to real C# code. The introductory chapters lay out the basics of the agile movement, while the later chapters show proven techniques in action. The book includes many source code examples that are also available for download from the authors’ Web site. Readers will come away from this book understanding Agile principles, and the fourteen practices of Extreme Programming Spiking, splitting, velocity, and planning iterations and releases Test-driven development, test-first design, and acceptance testing Refactoring with unit testing Pair programming Agile design and design smells The five types of UML diagrams and how to use them effectively Object-oriented package design and design patterns How to put all of it together for a real-world project Whether you are a C# programmer or a Visual Basic or Java programmer learning C#, a software development manager, or a business analyst, Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices in C# is the first book you should read to understand agile software and how it applies to programming in the .NET Framework.
1662J-5 Not just a "run-the-wizard, push-the-buttons" guide -- real MFC mastery! Starts from ground zero: no object-oriented expertise required! An important but simple example illustrations how MFC invokes your virtual functions. Introduces MFC Document/View Architecture, program structure, and much more. Includes more than 90 short programs illustrating collection classes, mouse and keyboard techniques, common controls, menus, and more. Covers bitmap graphics and database access. Simply the most effective, thorough introduction to MFC you can find! If you really want to master MFC, there are no shortcuts, but there is one great book: Introduction to MFC Programming with Visual C++. Unlike many MFC books, this one doesn't start with Microsoft's AppWizard. Rather, it begins by giving you an in-depth grounding in the structure of MFC programs: an understanding that will serve you well in every program you write. Author Richard Jones also introduces the fundamentals of object-oriented programming with MFC and Visual C++, the essential concepts underlying MFC, the Document/View architecture, and much more. Once you understand how MFC really works, Jones helps you accomplish more than you ever imagined. You'll not only master MFC's common interface controls, but also database access, and much more. Introduction to MFC Programming with Visual C++ contains dozens of diagrams and programs-from to-the-point snippets to sizable programs designed to demonstrate powerful software engineering techniques. About the CD-ROM This title originally included a CDROM that contained all of the sample programs. This CDROM is no longer available, nor are the sample programs.
LEARN VISUAL C# is a comprehensive step-by-step computer programming tutorial covering object-oriented programming, the Visual C# integrated development environment and toolbox, building and distributing Windows applications (using the Windows Installer), exception handling, sequential file input and output, graphics, multimedia effects (animation and sounds), advanced topics such as web access, printing, and HTML help system authoring. The tutorial also introduces database applications (using ADO .NET) and web applications (using ASP.NET). This curriculum has been used in college and universities for over two decades. It is now available as an instructor-led or self-study programming tutorial. It can also be used as a high school advanced placement course. The focus of LEARN VISUAL C# is to use the existing objects and capabilities of Visual C# to build a wide variety of useful desktop applications. Students will also learn to build their own objects. Some of the applications built include: Stopwatch, Calendar Display, Loan Repayment Calculator, Flash Card Math Game, Database Input Screen, Statistics Calculator, full-featured Note Editor, Tic-Tac-Toe Game, Multiple Choice Quiz, Information Tracker (with plotting), Blackjack, Line, Bar and Pie charts, a version of the first video game ever - Pong, and a Telephone Directory. LEARN VISUAL C# is presented using a combination of over 850 pages of self-study notes and over 100 Visual C# practical examples and applications. To grasp the concepts presented in LEARN VISUAL C#, you should possess a working knowledge of Windows and have had some exposure to programming concepts. Our Beginning Visual C# course would provide you with this exposure. LEARN VISUAL C# requires the Microsoft Windows operating system. This tutorial also requires the Community Edition or Professional Edition of Microsoft Visual Studio. The Visual C# source code solutions and all needed multimedia files are included in the compressed download file available from the Publisher's website (KidwareSoftware.com) after book registration.

Modern C++ at your fingertips! About This Book This book gets you started with the exciting world of C++ programming It will enable you to write C++ code that uses the standard library, has a level of object orientation, and uses memory in a safe and effective way It forms the basis of programming and covers concepts such as data structures and the core programming language Who This Book Is For A computer, an internet connection, and the desire to learn how to code in C++ is all you need to get started with this book. What You Will Learn Get familiar with the structure of C++ projects Identify the main structures in the language: functions and classes Feel confident about being able to identify the execution flow through the code Be aware of the facilities of the standard library Gain insights into the basic concepts of object orientation Know how to debug your programs Get acquainted with the standard C++ library In Detail C++ has come a long way and is now adopted in several contexts. Its key strengths are its software infrastructure and resource-constrained applications, including desktop applications, servers, and performance-critical applications, not to forget its importance in game programming. Despite its strengths in these areas, beginners usually tend to shy away from learning the language because of its steep learning curve. The main mission of this book is to make you familiar and comfortable with C++. You will finish the book not only being able to write your own code, but more importantly, you will be able to read other projects. It is only by being able to read others' code that you will progress from a beginner to an advanced programmer. This book is the first step in that progression. The first task is to familiarize you with the structure of C++ projects so you will know how to start reading a project. Next, you will be able to identify the main structures in the language, functions, and classes, and feel confident being able to identify the execution flow through the code. You will then become aware of the facilities of the standard library and be able to determine whether you need to write a routine yourself, or use an existing routine in the standard library. Throughout the book, there is a big emphasis on memory and pointers. You will understand memory usage, allocation, and access, and be able to write code that does not leak memory. Finally, you will learn about C++ classes and get an introduction to object orientation and polymorphism. Style and approach This straightforward tutorial will help you build strong skills in C++ programming, be it for enterprise software or for low-latency applications such as games or embedded programming. Filled with examples, this book will take you gradually up the steep learning curve of C++.
Each of the 12 lessons presented here has three parts--two units and a review project. The units explain Visual C++ programming concepts, and the project contains a real-world code example. The book also provides line-by-line explanations, definitions of new terms, sample programs, and assignments that allow readers to apply their new knowledge.
"Gary Bronson's introduction to C++ programming text teaches you how to use development tools provided in the Microsoft Visual C++ graphical programming environment. You will learn to design and build C++ programs using graphical development tools in addition to standard coding techniques. The book's four parts deal with procedural programming, data structures, object-oriented programming, and event-based programming using Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFCs)."--BOOK JACKET.
