Why Visual C++?
Visual C++ is Microsoft’s premiere Windows programming environment. While there are several interesting, up-and-coming contenders in the client/server marketplace, C++ has proven itself to be the best tool available today for building large-scale, mission-critical applications. Although “Fourth Generation” programming environments offer features for rapid development, the end-results are often disappointing or impractical for large-scale implementations. The BFC class libraries sharply reduce the learning curve for C++ novices and dramatically increase the productivity for C++ experts, giving your programmers the best of both worlds. Built on top of the Microsoft Foundation Classes and integrated with Visual Studio, BFC introduces a number of significant extensions to this widely used framework for application development. In addition programmers can leverage the full range of Visual C++ add-ons, design tools, and “wizards” (graphical software utilities that automatically generate code
