Microsoft DirectX 7 gives you the APIs you need to create cutting-edge Windows 3D games and simulations using C or C++. With helpful tutorials, plenty of illustrations, and a minimum of math, this unique guide shows you how to master these APIs and take your graphics programming to the next level, whether you're an animation beginner or a veteran game developer.

Direct2D is a native, immediate-mode, graphics rendering library that provides uncompromising performance. Its focus is on two-dimensional rendering, providing a rich array of primitives for rendering vector graphics, bitmaps and text. It’s designed to squeeze as much out of the underlying Direct3D-based GPU as humanly possible while retaining a surprisingly enjoyable API surface. In this course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of Direct2D programming and be well on your way to building rich user experiences using the same rendering engine as Internet Explorer 10.

C Primer Plus (5th Edition) /by Stephen Prata. The new classic! C Primer Plus, now in its 5th edition, has been revised to include over 20 new programming exercises, newly improved examples and the new ANSI/ISO standard, C99. Task oriented examples will teach you the fundamentals of C programming.

Learn how to apply C++ to a wide array of sophisticated applications. In his clear prose, C++ expert and the world’s leading programming author Herb Schildt, shares practical, high-powered applications of C++, revealing some of the most interesting features of the language in the process. “Pure code” subsystems that can be adapted to your own programs, financial calculations, and file utilities are discussed.

BEGINNING C++ THROUGH GAME PROGRAMMING, THIRD EDITION approaches learning C++ from the unique and fun perspective of games. Written for the beginning game developer or programmer, the book assumes no previous programming experience and each new skill and concept is taught using simple language and step-by-step instructions.

Cet ouvrage traite de tous les aspects, théoriques et pratiques, de la programmation en C des microcontrôleurs PIC. Il propose notamment : une présentation comparative des principaux compilateurs C pour PIC du marché ; la description des principales fonctions communes à la majorité des compilateurs C ; la réalisation d'un programmateur de PIC " en circuit " ou ICSP, ainsi que celle d'un " bootloader " ; la prise en main détaillée d'un environnement de développement et de compilation, de la programmation à la simulation ; une vingtaine de schémas types d'interfaces ou d'applications complètes avec leurs logiciels de gestion en langage C, abondamment commentés ...

C Primer Plus is a conversational-style book aimed at those new to C programming. A friendly and easy-to-use self-study guide, this book will be appropriate for serious students of programming, as well as developers proficient in other languages with a desire to better understand the fundamentals of this core language.

Despite its highly adaptable and flexible nature, C++ is also one of the more complex programming languages to learn. Once mastered, however, it can help you organize and process information with amazing efficiency and quickness.
The C++ Cookbook will make your path to mastery much shorter. This practical, problem-solving guide is ideal if you're an engineer, programmer, or researcher writing an application for one of the legions of platforms on which C++ runs. The algorithms provided in C++ Cookbook will jump-start your development by giving you some basic building blocks that you don't have to develop on your own.

Schrödinger ist unser Mann fürs Programmieren. Er kann schon was, aber noch nicht C++. Schlau ist er, auch neugierig, aber zuweilen ungeduldig und etwas chaotisch. Er hasst Katzen und liebt WoW. Eigentlich der perfekte Partner, um endlich mal gründlich C++ zu lernen. Zum Buch: Ein Traum! Die volle Packung C++. Die nötige Theorie, viele Hinweise und Tipps [im Büro], Unmengen von gutem, aber auch schlechtem Code, der verbessert und repariert werden will [in der Werkstatt] mit viel Kaffee und Übungen und den verdienten Pausen [zuhause im Wohnzimmer]. Und mittendrin ist Schrödinger, und natürlich du!

Windows 8 From Design To Delivery with XAML and C # walks through the design, implementation, testing , and Delivery of a Real-World Application. Course This puts Windows 8 Programming skills into context by Creating a non-Trivial Application from Scratch. Along the way We Look at XAML layout and controls, Page navigation, Data binding, Data Management, life cycle Management, working with Files, MVVM, snap View, semantic Zoom and much More. Both Windows 8 novices and intermediate programmers will benefit from this real-world scenario walk-through.

Written for the experienced C++ developer facing real-world CORBA for the first time, Advanced CORBA Programming with C++ is a useful guide to today's most popular standard for distributed computing.

C++ is a general purpose programming language that is used by millions of developers. It offers a powerful combination of performance and abstraction that other languages don’t have. You can use C++ to write different kinds of applications for a variety of platforms. In this course, I’ll cover basics of language syntax – declaring variables, classes, building expressions using operators and functions – and work up to templates, pointers, const, and polymorphism. I’ll be using the principles of “modern C++” as much as possible, relying on the Standard Library and using idioms like Resource Acquisition is Initialization to reduce the effort involved in memory management. Some people are scared of C++, but I’ll show you how to approach the language without fear.
