INTRODUCTION.
zApp-is computer language, which has been
made for creating high front end application for
displaying and manipulating real-time financial
information. It includes the following goals.
-zApp should allow application portability to
other GUI platforms;
-programs written with zApp should
be at least as efficient as application written
in strait C and' because they reuse well-tested
code, should be more reliable,
-zApp should allow the creation of GUI
application with much less code, and in much
less time,
-zApp should allow the use of third party tools, such as
dialog editors and custom controls,
-zApp should provide higher level features than most
normal GUIs (and the Window API in particular) while
allowing the program to utilize all of the GUI system's
features,
-zap should be integrate into existing windowing
system applications written in C. The zApp programmer should
be able to use zApp without having to rewrite all of existing
code!
This language is a C++ class library, so it references
to C++ concepts and terminology.
zApp language has the following basic concerts:
-inheritance-much of your program's functionality will
be provided by new classes you create that inherit from classes
zApp provides'
-overriding virtual functions-In the classes which you
create you will be overriding many virtual functions,
particularly for handing events.
