Software Application Development: A Visual C++, MFC, and STL Tutorial

Software Application Development: A Visual C++, MFC, and STL Tutorial (Chapman & Hall/CRC Computer and Information Science Series)

Software Application Development: A Visual C++, MFC, and STL Tutorial provides a detailed account of the software development process using Visual C++, MFC, and STL. It covers everything from the design to the implementation of all software modules, resulting in a demonstration application prototype which may be used to efficiently represent mathematical equations, perform interactive and intuitive model-building, and conduct control engineering experiments.

All computer code is included, allowing developers to extend and reuse the software modules for their own project work. The book’s tutorial-like approach empowers students and practitioners with the knowledge and skills required to perform disciplined, quality, real-world software engineering.
