Topics for Discussion
1) Readings for chapters 1 through 7 seem to be going well. If you run into problems, please email me at thplunk2@vt.edu.
2) Current Status on MS Visual C++ 6.0. The Bookstore expects to receive the Professional Edition ($96 price) by Thursday. Two other versions haven't been released yet (the Learning Edition with a $49 price and the Development Studio with a $250 price--the Dev Studio includes Visual Basic, Visual J++, and some other interesting items). It will be at least two weeks before we have Visual C++ 6.0 in the lab.
3) Tonight, we will have two team projects making modifications to existing software programs.
Project One Project Two4) Until MS Visual C++ 6.0 is available in the lab, we will be using MS Visual C++ 5. For the time being, please feel free to use any compiler you currently have access to outside of the lab.
5) For next week, read over chapters 1-7 again and focus on any areas that seem difficult. Also, please visit your local Borders or other bookstore and browse through the C++ section to see what books are available. Finally, surf the web and visit other C++ web pages.
