Application Development and C++ Programming
In the spirit of good, old-fashioned programming, I felt it
necessary to contribute my source code and experience to anyone
who might find it useful. From here you may access entire
libraries (some generic and some specifically for Windows or
MFC), complete applications, code samples, and some tutorials.
Much of these contents are intentionally very remedial in the
hopes that the inexperienced (aka. "newbies") beginners might
have a resource to aid them in the expansion of knowledge.
If you have anything you would like to contribute, let me know.
Fully-functional, very useful code libraries that may be
very worth keeping in your code stable [that's not a pun or a
typo; I meant "stable" like where you keep horses, not the
adjective form of "stability"]. Some examples: multi-threaded
sockets, various MFC control wrappers, a DirectX 2D game engine,
etc.
Entire, functional (in most cases) applications that I've
written for my own edification through the years. Some might
prove to be quite useful and educational, while others may
merely disgust you. Most include source code. All Win32 apps
were written with MFC (as far as I recall).
"Compilable" source code samples demonstrating common,
routine tasks, such as converting between numerics and strings,
binary file IO, et cetra.
Articles describing step-by-step instructions on how to make the
most of some of the essential aspects of C++ programming, such as the
Standard Template Library (STL) (e.g., string, vectors, iterators),
templates, template specialization, et cetra. Very basic tutorials
are also included (e.g., what the deal is with C-style strings, etc).
I hope you find something useful here. You should also visit
cprogramming.com and the
message board there
where several very experienced coders hang out all day long just
eager to answer your questions. (Make sure you read the
FAQ and try
searching
before you ask, or run the risk of being flamed all to hell because
most questions have already been asked and answered countless times.)
Another great resource is koders.com,
where you'll find a source code search engine that allows you to find
code in practically every open source project you can imagine.
