More Information and System Requirements

System Requirements  (Excerpted from the book's Introduction)

The first five chapters of the book require only the C++ compiler (version 13). The C++ compiler supplied as part of the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK does not produce optimized code, nor does it provide extensions like the unmanaged ATL Attribute Provider, but it is a fully featured C++ compiler that can be used for both managed and unmanaged C++ development. If you want to learn about the Microsoft .NET Framework, the C++ compiler is the place to start. The link provided above will connect you to the MSDN resource page for .NET, where you can download the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK.

The last two chapters of the book use features of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET includes the full optimizing C++ compiler, and it also comes with unmanaged libraries: the complete CRT library, the standard C++ library, and the combined ActiveX Template and Microsoft Foundation Class libraries, all of which you can access from .NET code. Microsoft Visual Studio .NET also provides code wizards to create the initial files of your application, tools to manage your projects, a fully featured editor, and an integrated debugger. If you intend to develop projects larger than a handful of classes, you should use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. For more information about Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, visit the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Web site.
