Mixed Languages with Visual Studio
In this relatively short chapter, I want to discuss the concept of mixed language programming (MLP). I'll go into some of the pros and cons and considerations of doing MLP with Visual Studio. Be warned, though-as the title implies, this chapter cannot be free from other languages; it contains Java, C, and C++ code (and mentions other languages, too, such as FORTRAN and COBOL). None of the other languages is explained in detail, so you might want to skip the code sections of this chapter if you're not up to speed with some of the basics of these particular languages.
