Windows programming is strange. It’s weird, it’s warped, it’s mind boggling. Windows has the reputation of being easy for users but difficult for programmers. In Windows programming, learning never ends. Our only hope is that doing this course would help you in avoiding the steep learning curve that you would otherwise be faced with.

A few short years ago, learning to program in C was considered to be the ultimate goal for a programmer. However, Microsoft’s Windows 95 and Windows NT changed all that. Since they came into existence they have been sold in millions of copies and have lured the user and the programmer alike. Earlier, most Windows programs were written in C. However, since last few years C++ has started replacing C as a professional Windows programmer’s language of choice. This is because the sheer complexity of Window’s, coupled with the wide ranging scope of Windows Application Programming Interface (API) cries for an Object Oriented Programming (OOP) language. Which better language can one think of to implement OOP than C++ ! Thus, C++ combined with the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library is now making Windows programming simpler.

Unless you understand the mechanics of Windows based programming, unless you master MFC, unless you know latest internet technologies and how to program them in Visual C++ you would be a mere bystander as the software revolution sweeps past you. The future is here. Grab it with both hands or…
