This book teaches experienced programmers how to use the new Microsoft Windows Foundation Classes, J/Direct class libraries, and the Visual J++ 6 Java development environment to build Windows 95/98 and NT/2000 applications. Windows veteran Bruce Krell gets users quickly up to speed by demonstrating how to use WFC to build and distribute simple Windows applications rapidly. Throughout the book he returns again and again to a core collection of Windows applications, and objectively compares WFC, J/Direct, WFC/DHTML, and Pure Java. The book includes quick references to the WFC and Direct/J class libraries covered by the text.
The companion CD contains source code for all example programs including a simple word processor, a calculator, a drawing tool, and a user logon dialog. Also included are Microsoft Java developer tools and demos of several third party class libraries and programs.
