Support WebCast: Changes for Microsoft Visual C++ in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
Upcoming Webcast: Back to Basics: Using Microsoft Visual C++ .NET to Write Basic C and C++ Code.
Friday, November 14, 2003: 10:00 AM Pacific time (Greenwich mean time - 8 hours) This Support WebCast will give you a brief tour of the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET environment, but will focus on Visual C++ .NET. It will also explain some of the common pitfalls you may see when writing C and C++ code. The session will also discuss some of the features that will make your life easier as you learn about C and C++. This session will also talk about how to take advantage of the power of Visual C++ .NET.
If you are trying to learn the basics of C and C++, you want to know how to create class and header files; how to build the application after you write it; what a constructor is and where to use it. Because you are learning C and C++, you may not care about Microsoft Foundation Classes, ActiveX Template Library, or Managed Extensions for C++ yet. You just want to know how to make Visual C++ .NET work for you.
