Visual C++

Overview

Microsoft Visual C++ provides an integrated Visual development environment in which to build Windows based programs using powerful object-oriented techniques. The aim of the course is to teach the effective use of C++ programming to create robust windows applications using C++ and the Microsoft Foundation Classes. During the course attendees will learn to develop Windows based applications taking full advantage of the Visual Workbench and AppStudio. Attendees will develop a complete application in class and learn how to utilise the Application Wizard to create application frameworks, how to generate skeleton message handlers with the Class Wizard and how to create and bind resources using AppStudio.

The course provides the in-depth skills and knowledge needed to realise the full benefits of Visual C++ and achieve tangible gains in Windows programming.
