C++/CLI

Here is a fast-paced primer that kick-starts developers into the world of C++/CLI. Twenty no-fluff chapters by Microsoft insiders delve into the heart of the language and explain how the language elements work, and how Microsoft intends them to be used.

C++/CLI is arguably the most powerful language on the .NET 2.0 Platform, as it is the only one that gives developers the option to directly access their computer's hardware from within the .NET managed code environment. As such it is ideal for the types of processor- and memory-intensive tasks for which C++ has traditionally been used. This book gives developers both new and experienced a small, fast-paced primer that kick-starts them into the world of C++/CLI. In twenty no-fluff chapters Microsoft insiders take readers into the heart of the C++/CLI language and explain both how the language elements work and how Microsoft intends them to be used. At the end of this short book readers will have a deep thorough grounding in the core language elements and the confidence to explore further that comes from a solid understanding of a language's syntax and grammar.

The only short, fast-paced C++/CLI beginner's guide to C++/CLI available Written by Microsoft insiders, edited C++ guru Stan Lippman, and reviewed for accuracy by the same experts that built the C++/CLI language Teaches everything you need to know to begin confidently exploring C++/CLI and building fully-functional applications

In 12 no-fluff chapters, Microsoft insider Gordon Hogenson takes you into the core of the C++/CLI language and explains both how the language elements work and how Microsoft intends them to be used. Compilable code samples illustrate the syntax as simply as possible, and more elaborate code samples show how the new syntax might typically be used. The book is a beginner's guide, but it assumes a familiarity with programming basics. And it concentrates on explaining the aspects of C++/CLI that make it the most powerful and fun language on the .NET Framework 3.0. As such, this book is ideal if you're thinking of migrating to C++/CLI from another language. By the end of this book, you'll have a thorough grounding in the core language elements together with the confidence to explore further that comes from a solid understanding of a languages syntax and grammar.
