C++/C#. Programmer'S Guide To Windows 2000, With Cd-Rom

Using Windows 2000, developers can build breakthrough distributed and Web systems more rapidly and productively than ever before. Now, there s a guide to Windows 2000 development that lets you choose the right tools for each job: Visual C++, or C# and the new Microsoft .NET Framework! Dr. Reeves begins with a detailed architectural overview of Windows 2000 and its key components; then introduces the fundamentals of Windows 2000 programming for both C++ and C# programmers, including processes, threads, jobs, error handling, and Windows 2000's Win32 APIS. Next, he introduces the .NET Framework, showing how its base classes almost entirely encapsulate the Win32 APIS, how to leverage .NET and C# to build more scalable and robust applications, and how to integrate legacy and "managed" code in the same components. The book includes detailed coverage of both the Visual C++ 7.0 and C# compilers, showing how to use each to take full advantage of the .NET Framework for building powerful distributed applications. If you're ready to leverage Windows 2000 and .NET to the fullest, you're ready for C++/C# Programmer's Guide for Windows 2000.
