{"product_id":"2940012980779","title":"Programming with wxDev-C++","description":"From the author:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first question any child will ask you is why and it is a good question (except after the thirtieth time of being asked). The sun is blazing down; it’s a 1000 outside, so why am I indoors writing this book?\u003cbr\u003eThe main reason is because many people have asked on wxForum if a book on wxDev-\u003cbr\u003eC++ is going to be written. So far a few tutorials have been produced and there have been various mutterings about books. That answers the question as to why I am writing this book. But not why I am writing this book.\u003cbr\u003eFor me wxDev-C++ is something very special. It all goes back to July 1999 (queue the flashback and misty camera lenses). As per usual I brought a computer magazine, just one in a huge pile of magazines, but this one was special. On the cover disc was Championship Manager 3, but being a geek I was not interested in this. Rather I was taken by the small box in the corner saying ‘Bloodshed DevC++, Free C and C++ environment’. A whole new world was opened to me, the world of C and C++ up to then I had only programmed in Basic and Visual Basic. I was also introduced to the amazing world of Open Source Software.","brand":"ReadCycle","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082033447152,"sku":"2940012980779","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012980779_p0.jpg?v=1763575304","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012980779","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
