From the Back Cover

Owen Ransen One of the reasons why AutoCAD has been - and still is - such a dominant player in the CAD package market is its programmability. From the simplest forms of customisation, to sophisticated specialist applications, the key to its success lies in the ability for users and applications programmers to adapt and use basic AutoCAD functions in popular languages such as C and C++. If you are developing a medium to large application, need your projects to run faster and be future proof, then this book will give you a thorough run down on how to program using ADS (the C environment built into releases 12 and 13) or ARX (C++ environment present in 13). Both ADS and ARX will be incorporated into the next release - 14. The book assumes you are familiar with C or C++ as well as the fundamentals of AutoCAD. There are a host of examples with source code provided on the accompanying disk to help illustrate techniques. Visit our Web page! http://www.wiley.com/compbooks/

This review is from: AutoCAD Programming in C/C++ (Paperback)

This is a must read for anyone interested in programming AutoCAD for either beginning programmers or experienced. The basic foundation layed out by the author is thorough and very informative. Unfortunately, if you have MS Visual C++ 5.0 you will not be able to compile the examples in the book. Hopefully this will change soon!
