This tutorial attempts to get you started developing with the Win32 API as quickly and clearly as possible. It is meant to be read as a whole, so please read it from beginning to end before asking questions... most of them will probably be answered. Each section builds on the sections before it. I have also added some solutions to common errors in Appendix A. If you ask me a question that is answered on this page, you will look very silly.
his paper provides a tutorial and survey of methods for parameterizing
surfaces with a view to applications in geometric modelling and computer graphics.
We gather various concepts from di® erential geometry which are relevant to surface
mapping and use them to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the many
methods for parameterizing piecewise linear surfaces and their relationship to one
another.
The initial planning and thinking about this book began during a discussion of SQL Server futures in
July 2001. The discussion was with Rob Howard during a trip to Microsoft to discuss the first book I was
working on at that time. After that, I stayed involved in what was happening in ADO.NET by going to
the SQL Server Yukon Technical Preview in Bellevue, Washington, in February 2002 and by working
with the ASP.NET and SQL Server teams at Microsoft since July 2003.
