Windows MFC Programming I assumes that the reader already knows basic MFC programming, covered in the previous book, Windows MFC Programming I. When you have finished this book, you will want to obtain Windows MFC Programming I, which finishes the in depth coverage of intermediate MFC topics. Fonts are covered in great depth, focus is on the many ways that fonts can be created and used in various functions. There are six major and quite different printing situations. Very little information is found in other texts on just how to print in various situations. This book rectifies that deficiency. Details of scaling and the use of various mapping modes are illustrated, including the construction of a ruler. Both list and tree controls are presented in a variety of ways and uses. The document view architecture is reviewed and then greatly expanded upon in a variety of programming situations. Details of just how the document and views are dynamically created by the framework are covered as well. Methods of handling WYSIWYG are presented, along with how to handle word wrap and justification of text. Image processing is detailed including how to handle printing an image in many different ways. Coupling your application to databases is presented both using the ODBC classes as well as the older DAO classes. Printing database based reports is covered as well.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50559321768209,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":50559323701521,"sku":"CIN194141558XLN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52744665170193,"sku":"NIN9781941415580","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/194141558X.jpg?v=1751125074"},{"product_id":"windows-mfc-programming-iii-book-vic-broquard-9781941415597","title":"Windows MFC Programming III","description":"Windows MFC Programming I is the second of two intermediate Windows MFC Microsoft Foundation Class programming textbook, replacing my now out-of-print Intermediate MFC.

Programming Non-graphical Games in C++ presents you with how to write Adventure games, ladder style games involving timings, the use of binary trees, and a fully operational WI combat game. You can easily teach yourself how to create your own game engines by studying this book. And these can be quite complex; just check out the sample WI game in Chapter 12. Programming Non-graphical Games in C++ begins with the creation of a Screen class to handle direct cursor operation with full use of color allowing good looking DOS screens. Next, a complete random die rolling set of classes are presented. These sets of classes are then placed into production libraries and used in most all of the game samples. Construction of children's games is covered. Since data structures play an enormous role in game programming, growable arrays, double linked lists, stacks, and queues are reviewed, both using a void* and template versions. The use of the STL versions of the data structures is also presented. Armed with these basics, the creation of text based adventure games are presented. Next, live action arcade style games are covered, with the presentation of a fully operational ladder game. Next, card games are presented in full. The Tree data structures are covered as are variant records. These two are then put to use in the construction of a spells selection NPC action. Finally, a complete WI war game is presented, covering nearly a hundred pages, using many derived classes. The game is fully operational including indirect fire, direct fire, and close assault attacks.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51053066682641,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51053069140241,"sku":"NIN9781941415610","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/194141561X.jpg?v=1751093674"},{"product_id":"c-programming-book-vic-broquard-9781941415627","title":"C# Programming","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ -

The premise is that people are spiritual beings that inhabit physical bodies and have minds. Further, traumas block memories of past lives as well as inhibiting recall of previous lives and dictate in some measures the person's behavior in their current lifetime. The aliens aid in the forgetting process by latching onto the spiritual being whose current body has just died, electronically zapping them, scrambling and altering the memories in their mind, and then implanting commands to be obeyed in the next lifetime, such as You are no good, You are worthless, and You are stupid. Thus the commands buried in these moments of pain and unconsciousness impact the person's next lifetime; the person will believe utterly that they are no good or that they are completely worthless or that they are incredibly stupid.Through the thirteen novels, Elizabeth Stanton and her group discover what is actually happening on their world of Tarra. Namely, the aliens created Tarra as a dumping ground for all their own spiritual beings that they found objectionable in their societies - those who upset their societies: scientists, revolutionaries, artists, great thinkers, and of course criminals. Thus, these three different alien societies dumped these unwanted beings on Tarra, their penal colony, forcing the beings into physical bodies with enough traumas so that the beings could not leave the bodies (until it died), were convinced that they were nothing more than a physical body, and could not remember their previous lives. Stanton and her group reverse all of this over many hundreds of years, drive out the aliens, and develop a therapy to undo this horrific damage to the people, set against the long term evolution of the many societies on Tarra.It is my own personal belief that such a notion of trauma blocking past memories may well be germane to our own world and people. Thus, I purposely intended for the reader to pick up on the allusions to the Mediterranean Sea, the Sahara, Middle East, the Roman Empire and northern Europe, though with one exception, the rest of Tarra is vastly different. I hope this tends to make the reader ponder the idea that past traumas might be adversely affecting themselves and how it might actually work, as well as some hope for how such traumas might be uncovered and erased, as well as what the results of doing that might just be. Explore how aberration is created and propagated across lifetimes. Is this parallel to our own lives and world?This is the final novel in the Elizabeth Stanton series. All three alien races return to Tarra, dumping the last of their undesirable spiritual beings onto the penal colony. However, this time, the mantises handle the massive prison break before anyone discovers their presence, unleashing a worldwide plague that is designed to force all spiritual beings back into their prison cells. Once more, Bethany and her group eliminate these aliens, but are too late to prevent the plague from affecting everyone on Tarra.The results very nearly destroy all civilization on the planet, which enters a very Dark Age indeed. While Jes and his group work on erasing the traumas enabling the people to regain their native spiritual freedom and abilities, Bethany and her group work on salvaging the countries, one by one. By the end of the novel, the true native powers of a spiritual being become manifest, near godlike powers, offering true hope for mankind.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51635139936529,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51635140067601,"sku":"NIN9781941415450","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1941415458.jpg?v=1751061990"},{"product_id":"adventures-of-elizabeth-stanton-series-volume-9-a-job-worth-doing-book-vic-broquard-9781941415412","title":"The Adventures of Elizabeth Stanton Series Volume 9 A Job Worth Doing","description":"This series of thirteen books shows the evolution over time of both societies and human aberrations, caused in no small part by the direct control of three different groups of aliens.

Now Dominus has escaped and the action begins  The National Health Care program threatens Civil War between the President and the Western States. As Dominus spreads his control over more states, others begin fighting back. Civil War nearly breaks out before Lindsey and crew can finally take action. They discover the truth behind Dominus Malefic and set about finding someway to stop him. Perhaps the top power magic spells will give them a way. Then Alister Broadwell dies, leaving the school in a mess. Lindsey and friends press onwards to find a way to stop Dominus. At least they realize that higher power spells will not be the answer. They must come up with an alternative and quickly as war breaks out between wizards and normals.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51648184353041,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51648184549649,"sku":"NIN9781941415511","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1941415512.jpg?v=1750900738"},{"product_id":"adventures-of-elizabeth-stanton-series-volume-5-power-plays-book-vic-broquard-9781941415375","title":"The Adventures of Elizabeth Stanton Series Volume 5 Power Plays","description":"This series of thirteen books shows the evolution over time of both societies and human aberrations, caused in no small part by the direct control of three different groups of aliens.

Since no demons were sighted for so long, witch Monica Nicole Black, the Demon Slayer, has lost all credence. The demons have secretly and slowly infiltrated key positions in the US government, funneling modern weapons into their ever-increasing demon army. Gisella launches her takeover of the world with the bombing of Lambert Field, St. Louis. She has an ulterior motive: get witch Monica involved so the demons can eliminate her, their only serious threat. In order to do that, the demons maneuver the US President to order Monica to join the top US World Investigation Team, three norms who have a stellar case closing record. By making Monica work with normals to solve the Lambert Field bombing, the demons believe they can trap her without all her other magic user friends interfering, especially since Monica hates norms. Gisella's plan works. However, the Dr. Menninger clone has plans of his own. True, he developed the biological genetic agent that Gisella needs to horribly mutate humans, but he also develops his own variations, designed to genetically alter men and women, specifically Germans. He hasn't given up his goal of global domination formulated in the mid-1940's. Pretending to assist Gisella's army of demons and jihadists swarming out of Iran, he uses them for his own purposes, the establishment of his Fourth Reich, his Schutzstaffel. If demons followed orders, this time, they could easily conquer the world. But demons seldom do so, each figuring they know better what to do. Even so, with Monica taken out, the demons begin their long-planned conquest, and Dr. Menninger establishes his new Reich in Germany, but with hideous effects, knocking out Gisella's Grand Plan. Monica will need to enlist the aid of Bradbury's School of Magic and many other wizards and witches if she has any hope to handle the demons.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51679539200273,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51679539429649,"sku":"NIN9781941415818","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1941415814.jpg?v=1751413624"},{"product_id":"c-for-computer-science-and-engineering-book-vic-broquard-9781941415535","title":"C++ for Computer Science and Engineering","description":"Undoubtedly, the best beginning book around for the novice, C++ Programming for Computer Science and Engineering is designed for CS1 and other courses covering beginning programming in C++. It is aimed at readers with little or no programming experience. C++ Programming for Computer Science and Engineering is a very readable beginning textbook. C++ Programming for Computer Science and Engineering is designed for a college level introductory C++ course for both the Computer Science and Engineering curricula. Written for the novice programmer, this book assumes no prior knowledge of computer programming. The main elements of the language are introduced step by step in a logical, gradient manner.Each chapter has three main sections. The Basics Section presents the new features of the language. This is followed by two applications sections, one geared for Computer Science majors and one for Engineering majors. Thus, the student can see solid examples of the language's application in their field. Good programming design practices are introduced early and utilized in every sample program in the book. These include Top-down Design, the Cycle of Data Processing (Input, Process, Output) and a form of elementary pseudocoding with a main storage diagram. By continuous examples, the student is shown that the optimum way to write a program is to design before you begin the actual coding into the C++ language. C++ Programming for Computer Science and Engineering contains 47 complete programs which are available ready for compilation and your experimentation. The sample programs along with a Microsoft Visual C++ .NET project for each is included with the book. The samples are of increasing sophistication and illustrate many of the basic algorithms needed by the beginning programmer. There are samples for the Basic, Computer Science and Engineering Sections. All sample programs are extensively commented so that they could be easily maintained. Generally, the Computer Science examples concentrate on the types of programs often found in this discipline as well as business data processing. They include such items as using input and output files, control break reports, summary reports, merging files of data, file update programs with emphasis on writing reusable, generic functions, sorting arrays, binary search, character string manipulation, use of structures and binary file actions. In contrast, the Engineering sample programs illustrate problems found in many different areas of engineering and numerical analysis. The basic principles of numerical analysis are presented in Chapter 5 with each chapter after that covering another analysis tool. The sample programs thus illustrate many different types of equation calculations. Covered are root solving (using the bisection method, Regula Falsi, Newton's Method and the secant method), numerical integration using the trapezoid method and Simpson's Rule, menu processing, plotting graphs, statistical computations, Least Squares Curve Fitting, matrix math operations, Gauss and Gauss-Jordan methods for solving equations and the use of structures to simplify parameter passing. Note that many of the engineering samples can also be profitably covered in a Computer Science course and vice versa.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52744651440401,"sku":"NIN9781941415535","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781941415535.jpg?v=1763500214"},{"product_id":"c-object-oriented-programming-book-vic-broquard-9781941415566","title":"C++ Object Oriented Programming","description":"The first three chapters of C++ Object Oriented Programming present the iostreams, structures, reference variables, pointers and the use of dynamic memory allocations. These chapters serve as a complete review for those already familiar with C++ basics; however, for those only familiar with C programming, these chapters cover all of the basic extensions of the C++ language. Thus, by the start of chapter 4, all readers should be ready for the OOP portion of the language. The construction of C++ classes are covered in the next two chapters. The approach begins with very simple classes and gradually become more complex as more and more features are added in a gradient manner. After the constructors, destructors and access functions are presented, operator overloaded functions are discussed in the next two chapters. C++ Object Oriented Programming presents the basic operator functions first and in the next chapter, the copy constructor and assignment operator are illustrated along with the usage of dynamic memory allocated member data. Inheritance is similarly split into three chapters. The first chapter shows basic features and problems of inheritance while the second chapter expands into more complex situations that require virtual functions and abstract base classes. The third inheritance chapter is devoted to practical programming examples of inheritance. The next chapter of C++ Object Oriented Programming covers the handling of error situations, followed by a presentation of templates. In the real world, most company data bases are in binary format or in a database, not text files. So the next chapter of C++ Object Oriented Programming covers the principles of binary files. The final chapter of C++ Object Oriented Programming shows an easy technique for class instances to be written in binary format to a file to achieve persistence of an object. The object must, of course, be able to also read itself back into a memory instance. C++ Object Oriented Programming has many complete programming examples. All of these sample programs accompany the book. Each chapter ends with a set of Review Questions and Stop Exercises as well as the expected Programming Problems. The Stop Exercises illustrate many of the common errors beginning OOP programmers make. Thus, if you spend the time to work out the Stop Exercises before beginning work on the actual programming problems, far fewer mistakes occur. The answers to these exercises are also provided. In summary, C++ Object Oriented Programming is a very readable text that grounds one well in object oriented programming and its techniques. It is very application oriented and not a theoretical rewritten language reference manual.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53070891876625,"sku":"NIN9781941415566","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781941415566.jpg?v=1769606948"},{"product_id":"game-programming-theory-in-c-book-vic-broquard-9781941415603","title":"Game Programming Theory in C++","description":"If you ever want to program a game, this is the book for you  Game Programming Theory in C++covers basic algorithms of artificial intelligence and the physics of motion in 2D and 3D situations. Game Programming Theory in C++ begins with a short review of basic mathematical principles needed in games programming, including Vectors. Since object oriented classes are used throughout, the basics of writing C++ classes are also presented at the very beginning. Next Game Programming Theory in C++ discusses and programs chasing, evading, and intercepting algorithms. Patterned movement is illustrated. Sufficient physics is presented so that the reader can grasp the important equations of motions in both 2D and 3D situations. These are applied to a rigid body simulator. Game Programming Theory in C++ covers flocking algorithms and movement based upon a potntial function. Path finding is discussed in depth, including the A* method. Scripting is handled in Game Programming Theory in C++ as well as ini file creation methods. Finite state machines are illustrated as well. One chapter discusses many detail about projectile simulations, car simulations, and boat simulations. A 3D airplane simulator is covered. Fuzzy logic is presented in depth to illustrate handling of combat situations. Game Programming Theory in C++ covers the physics of collisions in 3D, a very important topic in nearly all games. Finally, methods of terrain generation are shown, along with sector analysis. Once you have finished Game Programming Theory in C++, you are ready for Programming Non-graphical Games in C++ which focuses on how to construct the many different types of game engines. After that, tackle the two windows programming books to learn how to build the graphical interface.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53152426623249,"sku":"NIN9781941415603","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781941415603.jpg?v=1771877449"},{"product_id":"advanced-data-structures-in-c-book-vic-broquard-9781941415559","title":"Advanced Data Structures in C++","description":"After a complete review of basic class construction with which you should be familiar, Advanced Data Structures in C++ covers more advanced features of classes. Among these are forward references, class enumerated data types, friend functions, constant data members, static data members, static member functions, reference variables that are data members, methods of inlining functions and how to make a production library. Next, Advanced Data Structures in C++ covers in depth all of the various operator overloaded functions; there are a rather large number of them. Then, the principles of inheritance are fully covered. Virtual functions are presented along with the need for them. Examples clearly illustrate their usage. Abstract base classes and pure virtual functions are presented with a significant example of their usage. Advanced Data Structures in C++ discusses C++ error handling in depth along with dynamic casting and run time type identification. How out of memory errors are caught is discussed in depth, since Microsoft's VC 7 (and subsequent compilers) new function now no longer returns 0 when short of memory. The design of a hierarchy of exception classes is presented showing how an application can fully utilize the C++ error handling mechanism. Also, how to replace the new and delete functions, replacing the terminate and unexpected error handlers is shown. Next, Advanced Data Structures in C++ presents a full review of the four basic container classes, including the growable array, double linked list, stack and queue. C++ programming templates are covered in depth followed by an example of converting the double linked list into a template class. How client programs are written using these template classes is presented next. A thorough discussion of binary files and hashing techniques comes next. Direct file processing techniques cover the relative record number method, the remainder method and ISAM (Indexed Sequential Access Method). How to write master file update programs is discussed in depth. The impact of structure alignment is visibly shown. Then, Advanced Data Structures in C++ shows the need for hashing techniques. Hence, various methods of hashing are presented. Trees are discussed in depth next, including notation and needed functions and tree operations, such as inserting a new node and deleting a node. Advanced Data Structures in C++ shows a complete example of a binary search tree using an ISAM data base. Advanced Data Structures in C++'s chapter on sorting algorithms presents five different methods in detail. It also implements a benchmark program you can use for comparison purposes. B-trees and their variations are covered next. A complete implementation of an AVL tree is presented. Advanced Data Structures in C++ discusses graphs, priority queues and heaps in detail. Network operations are also shown. The sample program illustrates graphs in depth including showing the shortest path. The examples show how to produce useful formatted results, not just theoretical displays. Next, sets and maps are discussed. Set implementations include the set as an array and the set as a bit vector. The map structure is used to show the very beginning steps of data compression routines. The STL (Standard Template Library) is introduced. How they are created and used is discussed. Examples show how to use the basic container classes. The last chapter of Advanced Data Structures in C++ presents the theory of complex program analysis and included the big-O notation. However, I have kept the level of math low for those who are weak on higher mathematical procedures. The concepts should be easily understood and can be utilized by anyone to estimate the performance of a routing. An appendix shows in depth how to use the new Microsoft VC (.NET) compiler to build and debug C++ programs. Each chapter of Advanced Data Structures in C++ has a set of Review Questions and Programming Problems to solve.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53152455262481,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53152455524625,"sku":"NIN9781941415559","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781941415559.jpg?v=1771877744"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-vic-broquard.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
