Duration: 1 Day
Instructor: D. G. Clark
Prerequisites: Programming experience, preferably in C and C++. However
C++ experience is not required.
Course Description:
This class introduces programmers to C++ and the Visual Age IDE for
version 4. The student builds a working application using the Visual
Builder. In the process the student learns which controls are
available, how those controls relate to the IBM Open Class User
Interface Library, types of connections between parts and when to use
each connection type. The students also learns how to build their own
non-visual parts and use them in the application. Differences between
version 3 and version 4 of the Visual Builder are pointed out.
Requirements:
The student must come with a laptop that has Visual Age C++ version 4
installed. Students registered for the class that need a copy of the
version 4 compiler can contact the instructor. It is possible to
attend the class and use version 3, but we recommend version 4 for the
class.
Students also need to purchase the book VisualAge for C++ Visual Programmer's
Handbook by Dale R Nilsson and Peter M. Jakab. The book is available from
