**From the Back Cover** Step into the world of visual programming! Object-Oriented Application Development with VisualAge for C++ for OS/2 serves as your guide to full-function application development. It explains each step from requirement specifications to implementation, while adhering to modern programming techniques such as object-orientation and visual programming. Learn VisualAge for C++ by example. This book focuses on the practice rather than the theory of object technology. Key concepts are provided for developing well-structured, object-oriented applications. Apply the Visual Modeling Technique to VisualAge for C++ to build an actual application featuring relational database support, video and vivid sound capacity, and numerous graphical controls for a truly intuitive graphical user interface. The book is broken into three parts and includes a CD-ROM: - Part 1 introduces visual programming and object-orientation concepts and terms and gives insight into the VisualAge for C++ development environment - Part 2 is devoted to analyzing and designing the static and dynamic model of the application to ease its implementation - Part 3 teaches how to use VisualAge for C++ and its versatile tools to develop the sample application from the ground up - A CD-ROM containing the evaluation version of VisualAge for C++ for OS/2, the evaluation version of DB2 Version 2, and the sample application Better understand the VisualAge for C++ environment and exploit the newest trends in software engineering. Application construction has never been easier. “VisualAge for C++, the successor to IBM's C++ development environment CSet++, represents a quantum leap in this product line for OS/2.” Nicholas Petreley, Info World Magazine, May 8, 1995 “VisualAge for C++ is elegant in a way only pure object-oriented application development environments can be.” Nancy Nicolaisen, Object Magazine, October, 1995
