The trend in programming design is moving towards an object-oriented approach. This is due to many influences in the evolution of software and hardware. As many systems become graphically interfaced and the demand for "easier-to-use" software increases, the program complexity expands dramatically.
A solution to the complexity of programs is to develop them using an approach resembling the real-life relationship of objects. The traditional structured approach to programming is limited through its treatment of data and actions as distinct entities. By dealing with data and instructions as interwoven items, the ability to develop reusable code is enhanced. Object-oriented programming in C++ requires an understanding of encapsulation of data (classes), polymorphism (overloading), and inheritance of classes.

Learn VisualAge for C++ by example.
Programming with VisualAge for C++ for Windows guides you through the development of a full-function application, from specifying requirements to implementation, using today's object orientation and visual programming.
Because this book focuses on the practice rather than the theory of object technology, you can use it to build an actual application, including relational database support, video and sound capability, and numerous graphical controls for a truly intuitive graphical user interface.
Programming with VisualAge for C++ for Windows has four parts and includes a CD-ROM:
- Part 1 introduces the concepts and terms of visual programming and object-oriented techniques.
- Part 2 examines the analysis and design of static and dynamic models of the application.
- Part 3 show how to use the tools of VisualAge for C++ to develop the sample application.
- Part 4 provides more details to enhance your skills in applying VisualAge for C++.
- The CD ROM holds the evaluation version of VisualAge for C++ for Windows, the evaluation version of DB2, and the sample application.
Learn how to exploit the newest trends in software engineering. With the techniques in this book, Windows application construction has never been easier.

Intended for computer science and engineering students and professionals, this book introduces the nature of real-time, concurrent, distributed systems, presenting a specific set of techniques for designing and implementing such systems. It develops a "systems way of thinking" about software that is intended to serve readers through their careers.
Key Features:
- Explains how to program interrupt-driven, concurrent, distributed systems that are complex enough to be interesting.
- Develops a deep understanding of how these systems function by working with a minimal software infrastructure, a subset of C++ and a small real-time kernel that keeps all software elements directly under readers' control.
- Helps readers build their own distributed applications, controlling all hardware and software elements themselves through I/O devices controlled by their own program.
- Explains the relationship between system issues and programs to help readers feel comfortable working with systems that have many layers of support software and with design models and tools that are distant from code.
- Trains readers to design distributed application that will keep running and to process architectures that will include the requirement for concurrency and failure detection/recovery.
Complete source code for all example programs-the Message Transfer Utility (a case study in real-time system design and implementation), and the Tempo real-time kernel-is available over the World Wide Web.

This Schaum's Outline of Data Structures with C++ will be a sequal to the author's Schaum's Outline of Fundamentals of Computing with C++ and will cover all the material and topics covered in the first-year, second semester course required for all COmputer Science majors. It also covers the material in the second half of the AP Computer Science course taught in high school. An introductory course in C++ is prerequisite. The book will adhere to the new ISO standard for C++, implemented in 1997. The new standard library provides container classes and algorithms that have a significant impact upon how modern data structures are implemented.
