VISUALIZE THE PROGRAMMING POSSIBILITIES WITH THE PUBLICATION OF THE VISUAL
C++ HANDBOOK

Berkeley, CA, August 24, 1994 -- Given the predominance of Windows and the
ease of object-oriented programming (OOP), C++ has become the programming
language of choice for many professional programmers. Novice and
experienced programmers alike can explore C++ programming possibilities
with The Visual C++ Handbook, just published by Osborne/McGrawHill.

Best-selling authors and programming gurus Chris Pappas and Bill Murray
have designed a modular approach to learning Visual C++ for programmers of
all levels who want to program in C/C++ and for Windows, Windows NT, and
Win 32. Beginners can start with an introduction to C and C++, then move
on to a tutorial on the Visual C++ compiler and linker packages and get a
quick look at important Visual C++ tools. The book covers all Visual C++
releases through 2.

Experienced programmers can skip directly to the sections about Windows
programming and foundations for object-oriented programming in C++. Basic
Windows programming concepts, libraries, tools, and utilities are all
covered in detail. Readers will also learn about OLE (Object Linking and
Embedding), DLL (Dynamic Link Libraries) and custom control fundamentals.

The Visual C++ Handbook also has clear, comprehensive coverage of the
Microsoft Foundation classes that are vital for Visual C++ mastery and an
entire section about Windows NT programming techniques.

As with all Pappas and Murray programming books, The Visual C++ Handbook is
packed with useful and detailed code examples. Ideal for all programmers,
whether they need to learn everything about Visual C++ or just brush up on
certain areas, The Visual C++ Handbook makes it easy to picture the
programming possibilities.

The Visual C++ Handbook is soft cover, 1152 pages, and has examples and
illustrations throughout. Suggested retail price: $34.95. ISBN:
0-07-882056-1. For orders only, phone (800) 227-0900, Monday through
Friday, 8:30am - 4:30pm, Pacific Time.
