This note describes some key aspects of what C++ is and of how C++ has developed over the years. The perspective is that of an experienced C++ user looking at C++ as a practical tool. No attempts are made to compare C++ to other languages, though I have tried to answer some questions that I have often heard asked by Lisp programmers.

As C++ programmers, we already feel the impact of the work of the ANSI/ISO C++ standards committee. Yet the ink is hardly dry on the first official draft of the standard. Already, we can use language features only hinted at in the ARM [Ellis,1989] and ‘‘The C++ Programming Language (second edition),’’ [Stroustrup, 1991], compilers are beginning to show improved compatibility, implementations of the new standard library are appearing, and the recent relative stability of the language definition is allowing extra effort to be spent on implementation quality and tools.

This article will show you how to easily add context menus to your Visual C++ application and will illustrate the process with a working example. I’ll also discuss the issues I encountered as I learned how to do this myself, so that you can be aware of these potential hurdles.

This document contains the guidelines for writing C/C++ code for Dynamic Software Solutions. The point of a style guide is to greater uniformity in the appearance of source code. The benefit is enhanced readability and hence maintainability for the code. Wherever possible, we adopt stylistic conventions that have been proved to contribute positively to readability and/or maintainability.

Build your own Custom MFC Base Classes for Fun & Profit. Distributing Code Changes Across Your Applications.

The goal of this series is to help you to gain an understanding of the fundamental concepts that make MFC programs work under Visual C++. Many people jump into Visual C++, start up the AppWizard, have it generate a new program framework, and then hit a wall. That wall arises because it is hard to understand the MFC code generated by the AppWizard. This same wall affects people who try to work through the "Scribble" tutorial that comes with Visual C++. Without a fundamental understanding of MFC code structure, the tutorials simply make no sense.
