Advanced OWL 5.0 : Power Tools for OWL Programmers

Available from Manning Publications Co. along with two sample chapters for download.

by Ted Neward
Published by Independent Publishers Group
Publication date: January 1998
Dimensions (in inches): 1.34 x 9.02 x 7.51
ISBN: 1884777465

This book and Core OWL 5.0 : OWL Internals for Advanced Programmers gives you a complete and intensive coverage of Borland OWL. This book explain mainly about the helper class (such as the Borland Class Library, etc.). As far as I know, these two books are supposed to be combined into a 15 inches thick book! Due to some publishing and customer psychological factor, the publisher had decided to break it into two different parts which focus differently.

If you're an OWL developer who is beyond the "OWL for Dummies" level, this book will show you how to obtain all the potential your OWL applications have for power, elegance and flexibility.
What's inside:

  • A comprehensive look at ClassLib and Winsys support libraries
  • How C++ and OWL mixin classes add application power
  • Making OWL context-sensitive help respond to your needs
  • The possibilities of multi-threaded programs
  • Undocumented OWL classes on error modes, user-interface
  • Painting and multimedia capabilities
  • How not to be confused by the OWL Doc/View architecture
  • Ideas and tricks for debugging OWL Applications
  • How to integrate OWL code with other languages and technologies
  • A CD-ROM containing source code and examples from both this book and its companion book, Core OWL 5.0.

Teach Yourself OWL Programming in 21 Days

by Ian Spencer
Published by SAMs Publications Company
Publication date: 1995
ISBN: 067230600X

Although you may think that this book is a bit too old. But this is definitely the best book on OWL for programmer who doesn't have any OWL Programming experiences! This book begin by taking you into a crash course of OOP. Later, it covers some important features in the Borland C++ IDE and tools.

It begins the OWL lessons by teaching you what is an application, basic OWL message handling, using Windows, Dialog, and Controls. When you've a strong grasp of the basics, it dives into some hardcore topics such as GDI, Printing, using DLL, DDEML. At the end of each chapter, there're "DO and DON'T" columns which explain some common pitfalls of OWL Programmer. There're two extra credit topics at the end of the book, covers the surface of OLE programming and Borland Database Engine.

As a conclusion, this book is a must for any programmer who wants to learn OWL Programming from beginning. It had give me a very good start on OWL Programming.

Borland C++ 4.X Tips, Tricks, and Traps

By Clayton Walnum
Published by QUE Publications Company

ISBN: 1565298950

Although this book is several years old, but it still contains values which other OWL books didn't cover. This book mainly explain how to perform a specific task in an OWL Application. This book is packed with valuable techniques which may be the solution of your OWL applications.
This book is more "tasks oriented" rather than teaches you the basics of OWL Programming. If you already have some surface knowledge about OWL, this book will definitely guide you to create your first OWL Application.

Effective C++ : 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your Programs and Designs

by Scott Meyers
(Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series;
Paperback - 256 pages 2nd edition (September 1997)
Addison-Wesley Pub Co (Sd); ASIN: 0201924889

The first edition of Effective C++ sold nearly 100,000 copies and was translated into four languages. It's easy to understand why. Scott Meyers' practical approach to C++ described the rules of thumb employed by the experts -- the things they almost always do or almost always avoid doing -- to produce clear, correct, efficient code. Each of this book's 50 guidelines summarizes a way to write better C++, and the accompanying discussions are backed by specific examples. For this new edition, Meyers reworked every guideline in the book. The result is exceptional adherence to C++'s Draft International Standard, current compiler technology, and the latest insights into the use of C++ for real-world applications. Highlights of Effective C++, 2nd Edition include: expert guidance on object-oriented design, class design, and the proper use of inheritance; an examination of the standard C++ library, including how the Standard Template Library and classes like string and vector affect the structure of well-written programs; discussions of late-breaking language features like in-class constant initializations, namespaces, and member templates; and wisdom usually possessed by only the most experienced developers. Effective C++ continues to be essential reading for every developer working with C.
