With the release and success of Windows NT 4.0, there is a lot of ongoing Windows application development. This book will take a set of advanced programming topics such as database programming, Internet and network programming, multimedia programming, etc., and address the concept details of the programming topics the programmer should be familiar with; programming examples to illustrate the concept; programming Notes the programmer should be familiar with; error situations the programmer is likely to run into, known problems, workarounds, etc. The programmers using this book are expected to have experience developing C and/or C++ programs in the Windows environment, preferably using the Win API (Application Programming Interface) family. The average programmer typically uses a small subset of the total programming capabilities of Win APIs and NT and then comes across a need to develop applications using additional capabilities. This book will show them how to do just that.
