Topics in CIS Windows Programming
3 credits; 4 hours

Windows Programming is a course designed to introduce Computer Science and Programming majors to actual low-level windows programming. Using the Windows 95/NT operating system (and the C programming language), students will be introduced to the Windows Messaging System, the message loop, and the system APIS needed to write window programs. Learning these features is an excellent prelude to becoming a Visual C++ programmer. It is recommended that students have taken at least one programming language prior to this class. Computer languages such as C/C++, PASCAL, or JAVA are adequate preparation.
