tailieunhanh - The Practice of Programming

This book is about the practice of programming-how to write programs for real. Our purpose is to help you to write software that works at least as well as the program this example was taken from, while avoiding trouble spots and weaknesses. We will talk about writing better code from the beginning and improving it as it evolves. | The Practice of Programming Brian w. Kernighan Rob Pike Simplicity Clarity Generality ADDISON-WESLEY PROFESSIONAL COMPUTING SERIES Programming Software Engineering 9 780201 6 ISBN O-BOl-blSflb-X The Practice of Programming With the same insight and authority that made their book The Unix Programming Environment a classic Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike have written The Practice of Programming to help make individual programmers more effective and productive. The practice of programming is more than just writing code. Programmers must also assess tradeoffs choose among design alternatives debug and test improve performance and maintain software written by themselves and others. At the same time they must be concerned with issues like compatibility robustness and reliability while meeting specifications. The Practice of Programming covers all these topics and more. This book is full of practical advice and real-world examples in C C lava and a variety of special-purpose languages. It includes chapters on debugging finding bugs quickly and methodically testing guaranteeing that software works correctly and reliably performance making programs faster and more compact portability ensuring that programs run everywhere without change design balancing goals and constraints to decide which algorithms and data structures are best interfaces using abstraction and information hiding to control the interactions between components style writing code that works well and is a pleasure to read notation choosing languages and tools that let the machine do more of the work Kernighan and Pike have distilled years of experience writing programs teaching and working with other programmers to create this book. Anyone who writes software will profit from the principles and guidance in The Practice of Programming. Brian W. Kernighan and Rob Pike work in the Computing Science Research Center at Bell Laboratories Lucent Technologies. Brian Kernighan is Consulting Editor for Addison-Wesley s .
