About this book
- First, this book was created for the author himself: a collection of
notes to stick him to the facts. Subsequently, it was tried to format it a
consistent way with the intention to make it available on www.GambitVB.info
for anyone who has an interest in the program.
- This book differs from other computer books, because, in the first place,
it is code overview in a special way. It is not intended to be read from the
first page to the last page. Notwithstanding, the chapters are ordered in a way
that each chapter adds more classes and adds more complexity to the central
classes presented in earlier chapters.
- Each chapter is commonly divided in document sections named
objective, approach, architecture, design, and
implementation.
- Architecture is focused on the fundamental data
members within the used classes, structures, unions, enumerations, and
modules. A Power-Point-like overview shows the data members of a type.
- Design deals with class member functions shown in a
consistent table layout.
- Implementation may show amongst other things: Visual Studio class
diagrams, simple flow charts, and pieces of source code.
- Classes, members, and code are seldom completely shown, but tailored to
focus on the subject. The complete code is separately available on www.gambitvb.info.
- Within Word, you can easily navigate through this document by using
the Navigation Pane and the cross-links.
