Programming Environment

• Visual C++ 2005 (English version)
  • Getting Started with Visual C++
  • C++ Tutorial - Lesson One Learning How to Compile With Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition
  • Learn Visual C++ 2005
  • Free Visual C++ Resources
  • Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition Videos
• Visual C++ 2005 Express
  • Each Express Edition includes targeted documentation that will help the beginning programmer quickly learn the concepts required to build more advanced applications.
  • The user interfaces are significantly streamlined to ensure that extraneous features do not interfere with the learning process.
  • If you later decide that you do need additional features available in the higher-end editions of Visual Studio and SQL Server, you can seamlessly upgrade your code and skills.
• Dev-C++
  • Bloodshed Dev-C++ is a full-featured Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for the C/C++ programming language.
  • It uses Mingw port of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) as it's compiler.
  • Dev-C++ can also be used in combination with Cygwin or any other GCC based compiler.

Tips for Visual C++ 2005

1. Tools - Options - Text Editor - C++
   • Check "Line numbers"
   • Uncheck "Parameter information"

課程評量方式：

• Homework (20%)
• Quiz (40%)
• Midterm & Final Exams (40%)

How will your programming assignments be evaluated

• Correctness (60%)
• Readability (25%)
  • Comments (10%)
  • Variable Naming (10%)
  • Indentation (5%)
• User Friendly (10%)
  • Exception Handling (5%)
  • Screen Layout (5%)
• Skill (5%)
  • For example, you can also write down 81 "cout" instructions to print out the 9x9 multiplication table, but using the loop construct certainly demonstrates better skill in programming.
  • Another example is using multiple "if" statements vs. "switch".
