Advanced Programming with Microsoft QuickC provides the necessary programming tools for programmers who are interested in learning new skills in developing some useful tools and PC applications using the QuickC programming language. The book emphasizes practical and useful programming examples. It is organized into five sections. The first section introduces the proposed ANSI standard features, tips and techniques about C programming style, working with the C preprocessor, and tips for using pointers and managing memory allocation tasks. Section 2 presents data structures, discussing techniques for constructing useful and reliable data structures from linked lists to binary trees. The third section covers the many tools that QuickC provides for accessing files and other I/O devices. Section 4 explains the techniques for interacting with DOS and the special features of QuickC. The final chapter presents the tools and techniques for developing QuickC-like user interfaces. Computer programmers will find the text very useful.
