One of the goals is to use as much software as possible from standard libraries. The code will be tested for both Windows and linux (and source code + makefiles provided).
The C++/Excel interop remains important and this has become much easier in recent years.
A work-in-progress breakdown is (approx 30 chapters in total)
I. C++ 11 and STL A-Z
II. Building and using numerical libraries as building blocks
III. PDE (1d, 2d, 3d) models, the usual suspects

IV. Monte Carlo
V. Interpolation, bootstrapping, optimisation, calibration
VI. Parallel Programming applications
VII. C++/Excel and C++/C# interop
VIII. What about design and Maintainability?
