Windows 7 may be Microsoft’s most anticipated product ever. It builds on Windows Vista’s positives, and eliminates many of that OS’s negatives. It adds new functionality, too—all in a package that is less resource-hungry than its predecessor.
And whether or not you’re upgrading from Vista or skipping it altogether and moving up from Windows XP, you’ll need to know how to make the most of it in your environment. Here are 77 tips and tricks to get you there.
Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) is an award-winning C++ template library that abstracts threads to tasks to create reliable, portable, and scalable parallel applications. Just as the C++ Standard Template Library (STL) extends the core language, Intel TBB offers C++ users a higher level abstraction for parallelism. To implement Intel TBB, developers use familiar C++ templates and coding style, leaving low-level threading details to the library. It is also portable between architectures and operating systems. With Intel TBB, developers get the benefits of faster programming, scalable performance, and easier to maintain code.

Intel® Threading Building Blocks 2.2 for Open Source
The new Parallel Pattern Library (PPL) enables you to express parallelism in your code and how the asynchronous messaging APIs can be used to separate shared state and increase your application’s resilience and robustness.
1. Four Ways to Use the Concurrency Runtime in Your C++ Projects
2. Concurrency Runtime
The Concurrency Runtime is a concurrent programming framework for C++. The Concurrency Runtime simplifies parallel programming and helps you write robust, scalable, and responsive parallel applications.
The features that the Concurrency Runtime provides are unified by a common work scheduler. This work scheduler implements a work-stealing algorithm that enables your application to scale as the number of available processors increases.
3. Parallel Programming in Native Code blog
The OpenMP Application Program Interface (API) supports multi-platform shared-memory parallel programming in C/C++ and Fortran on all architectures, including Unix platforms and Windows NT platforms. Jointly defined by a group of major computer hardware and software vendors, OpenMP is a portable, scalable model that gives shared-memory parallel programmers a simple and flexible interface for developing parallel applications for platforms ranging from the desktop to the supercomputer.

The goal of this article is to describe a more or less generic way to access .NET managed object from a native C++ application.
Introduction
The goal of this article is to describe a more or less generic way to access .NET managed object from a native C++ application. I will present a dynamic link library (dll) which can be used, for example, to augment legacy C++ applications with the power of managed code. The library is written in C++/CLI which is the only .NET language which can be used to accomplish such a task.
All code was written with Visual C++ 2008, it’s also possible to do this with previous versions of the Microsoft C++ compilers, but Microsoft has done a lot of changes to C++/CLI for VS 2008, so it’s now much easier to use than in older version.
The “more” generic in the first sentence means that the library can be used to call any function (with an unlimited amount of parameters) of any managed class. The “less” means that the parameter types are limited to the native C++ types and a few user defined types (string, date/time, …). It’s easy to provide support for your own types, but therefore the code for the dll has to be extended by yourself.

No MFC, No VB – pure Win32 C/C++.
Presented here are a collection of programming tutorials for Windows. The tutorials cover various Windows programming topics, but most concentrate on the user-interface aspect of programming. All tutorials and source downloads are in the C programming language. No external libraries such as MFC are required to build the source code presented in these tutorials.
