The things that I did with the Visual c++2013 Primer (7th edition)

Preface

I was fortunate to see the Visual c++2013 Primer today (7th edition), this book, looking back at some of the books of the 2010 version, accompany me through the long road to Basic learning C + +, I will talk about the "Visual c++2013 Primer Classic (7th edition)" Look at some of the feelings and opinions.

first, the overall book

First, this is a classic book for getting Started with C + +. For a beginner, if you aspire to become a Windows development project, read the book, you will get a lot of harvest. The book is very thick, the content is easy to understand, you are 0 basic can understand. For middle and senior developers, readers themselves have basic programming skills and ideas to look at this book, more fully reflect the existence of the book value.

Second, careful comparison of the next catalogue, the new version (2013) compared to the previous versions (the author previously looked at 2010) The directory did the appropriate deletion, the new version of the debug technology and write their own DLL two chapters and some chapters to merge and separate, debugging technology really for a developer, More should be in the actual combat, the new version of the final chapter also describes the writing of WINDOWS8 applications to create Windows Store applications as an example, and introduced the XAML language, the concept of separation of functionality and interface is the direction of future software development. In addition, the new version of the multi-core programming this chapter to remove, personally think is a mistake. Multi-core programming is difficult, but for developers, have a certain knowledge of this is also necessary, but also can give you the interview bonus points.

Finally, in general, this book is a classic VC introductory textbook, the content is very informative. Book consistency is very strong, for beginners, although the book starts from the basic things, but must be careful and patience, not because of the thickness of the book (more than 1000 pages) and give up. In the 8th to 11th chapter of this book, we explain in detail the class, Standard Template Library, Windows core programming, and the basic developers, and suggest to study these chapters carefully, not to find work or language learning, is very helpful. So, whether it is a senior programmer or novice, you can learn the knowledge in the book.

second, the chapter small comment
1.Chapter One book review

This chapter begins with a brief introduction to learning C + + The knowledge that the language should be mastered, IDE Introduction to the integrated development environment, such as linker, compiler and various tools, library functions and so on, are simple to tell, this part of the content is very good, to help deepen the Microsoft IDE the understanding of the ring mirror.

next to create Win32 Console Application As an example, detailing the code in the VS2013 the definition, function and usage of each module. The original author's picture and picture, vivid and detailed, to a simple process are so carefully said, visible the author's skill. For example 2 , to create an MFC Application, I think this example should be placed in the first Chapter of the use of MFC It's better to write a Windows program at the beginning. On the other hand, the shortcomings are the translation version, all the pictures are English version, if the trip can be used in Chinese, it is better?

2.Chapter II Book review

        section 2 c++ Getting started with the structure of the book, from a simple mian () function to introduce the structure of the program. I think this can be properly cut, here some content does not speak and will not affect learning. The author then explains the variables and constants and details the vc++

The middle of this chapter is also interspersed with type conversions. An introductionto the Auto keyword, theauto keyword is the content of the new standard C + + . The original author also spoke of the bitwise operator, which is very important for understanding the computer and data storage. Although this part of the content is more boring, but the author used the picture content to explain, it seems easy to understand also let a person more patience to see down. Finally, the storage time and scope, the beginner to this part of the content is prone to error, and finally is to introduce why use namespaces? The disadvantage is that there is no detailed description of the life cycle and storage location of the variable, which is what the interviewer likes to ask.

PostScript

I think this book and C + + primer is a good primer for learning C + +, but this book is more in favor of VC + + language, but also the MFC programming detailed description and case programming, but also in the middle of the WINDWOS program core programming ideas, WINDOWS8 program development, This is a good choice for developers who want to be a Windows developer.
