Inside JavaScript

Inside the C++ Object Model focuses on the underlying mechanisms that support object-oriented programming within C++: constructor semantics, temporary generation, support for encapsulation, inheritance, and "the virtuals"--virtual functions and virtual inheritance. This book shows how your understanding the underlying implementation models can help you code more efficiently and with greater confidence. Lippman dispells the misinformation and myths about the overhead and complexity associated with C++, while pointing out areas in which costs and trade offs, sometimes hidden, do exist. He then explains how the various implementation models arose, points out areas in which they are likely to evolve, and why they are what they are. He covers th...

As Windows"R" becomes a widely accepted platform for popular games, its 3D class libraries continue to gain in popularity with developers. INSIDE DIRECT3D"R" provides the lowdown on Direct3D from a respected writer with solid connections inside the Microsoft Direct3D development group. Last year he wrote INSIDE DIRECTX"R," which included coverage of Direct3D Retain Mode. Here he writes exclusively about Direct3D Immediate Mode. This title is a long-awaited, well-paced walk through the Direct3D APIs, with emphasis on a few large code samples. It includes the Direct3D 6.0 SDK. It's ideal for games programmers who need to learn about this technology, and also for non-game programmers who went to add real-time 3D effects and...
