Synopsis:

Offering a solid programming foundation, Grandon Gill's Introduction to Programming Using Visual C++ .NET helps students develop strong structured programming techniques, problem-solving skills, and perhaps most importantly, a deeper understanding of what it means to program computers.

This first volume (the first of two) focuses on structured programming techniques?the building blocks for all forms of programming?and leaves the introduction of objects until the end. Recognizing that most programmers will ultimately be applying these techniques in an object-oriented programming (OOP) context, Gill adopts a programming style (e.g., use of very small functions, dividing projects into separate files, creating functions to perform specific operations on structures) that fits nicely with typical OOP approaches.
