About the Book

Visual Basic is the most popular programming language in the world today. It can be used to quickly create a Windows application and has a short learning curve. However, there are limits to what Visual basic alone can do. By contrast, C++ is used for very complex and advanced systems programming and it has a very steep leaning curve. Because of the difference between the two languages, many programmers develop expertise in either one language or the other. The optimal situation would be for a programmer to be able to harness the power of C++ and take advantage of VB, thus allowing them to create Windows software in the most efficient manner possible. This book teaches VB programmers what they need to know in order to combine these two powerful tools and create truly world-class applications. This book is what Visual Basic programmers have long desired: a book that uses thier existing knowledge as a framework to teach the skills they need to move to the next level, C++. Jonathan Morrison has over five years of experience developing applications in both Visual Basic and C++. He has vast experience integrating Visual Basic and C++ in enterprise environments.
