Learning how to write C/C++ code is only the first step. To be a serious programmer, you need to understand the structure and purpose of the binary files produced by the compiler: object files, static libraries, shared libraries, and, of course, executables.

Advanced C and C++ Compiling explains the build process in...

Creating secure code requires more than just good intentions. Programmers need to know that their code will be safe in an almost infinite number of scenarios and configurations. Static source code analysis...

By emphasizing the application of computer programming not only in success stories in the software industry but also in familiar scenarios in physical and biological science, engineering, and applied mathematics, Introduction to Programming in Java takes an interdisciplinary approach to teaching programming with...

Dynamic Language Runtime (DLR) in .NET is a framework for designing and interacting with dynamic languages such as Python and Ruby. For the first time, the DLR places such languages on an equal footing in the .NET world with compiled languages such as C# and VB.NET. Chaur Wu’s book, Pro DLR in .NET 4,...

Like all engineering activities, computer programming is both craft and science. Building a bridge or a computer program requires familiarity with the known techniques for the overall design of similar artifacts. And making intelligent choices among the available techniques and designs requires understanding of the mathematical principles...
