C++ Resources
Over the years we have become well known for providing valuable resources and interesting discussions on C++ and Windows API development. Enjoy perusing through our various development resources from our complete C++ Tutorial and free Windows Library (RSWL) to our many papers and presentations. Then, feel free to join in development discussions from our developer's forum.C++ In Action: Online Book
Knowledge should be free. We make sure that all kids have free access to elementary education. Why? Because as a society we realize that this is the best way to invest our money. In the 21st century the Internet (or one of its successors) will become the ultimate repository of human knowledge. And it will be free for everybody!
Let this web book that teaches programming, from the level of a C++ tutorial up to the level of a large-scale software project management, be the one to start this new trend. Hardcopy books can be purchased through Amazon and the like.

RSWL: Free WIndows Library
How do we make such compact and functional programs? Well, given the high interest in how we achieve these feats, we decided to release our own C++ Windows Library. This is the library that is based on the object-oriented ideas from "C++ In Action" (the Windows Programming chapter in particular), and which we use in our day-to-day development. We call it Reliable Software Windows Library, or RSWL for short. Learn more about getting the library and how you can keep up-to-date with changes.
Papers & Presentations
In following with our philosophy that knowledge should be free, we also have available the various papers and presentations:
- Dealing with Complexity Practices (Powerpoint Presentation)
- What's wrong with C++
- MFC Considered Harmful
- OLE's Fatal Flaw
- Good Programming Practices
Resource Management
Losing memory? Dropping objects? Leaking resources?
Resource Management is a new methodology that is a C++ response to Java's and C#'s garbage collection without the overhead.
Learn about an ownership-aware container, auto_vector including source code.
Power Point presentation on Resource Management.
