What do topics ranging from organic chemistry to Napoleon's campaigns have to do with computer programming? This collection of essays demonstrates the many varied aspects of programming, showing how programming can be both a fun and elegant science.
Some of the essays cover programming techniques, like how profilers can provide insight into the dynamic behavior of programs, and methods for making data files self-describing. These techniques deal with real programs and they are realistically illustrated, using the C and Awk languages. Bentley also provides the reader with some tricks of the programmer's trade, like a collection of rules of thumb and hints for finding simple solutions to hard problems.
These essays also originally appeared in the author's column in Communication of the ACM, and have been substantially revised, incorporating new sections, problems, and reader comments.

One of the great benefits of Unix is the vast array of free and inexpensive software tools that are available for the platform. Programming with GNU Software provides an overview of how C and C++ programmers can use some of these tools: the source-code editor Emacs, the gcc compiler, gdb debugger, gprof profiler, and the RCS version-control system. The book offers a quick-paced tutorial that, unlike some introductions to Unix tools, is particularly focused on the needs of C programmers. 

This is the fourth version of the book and this version now not only provides VHDL language coverage but design methodology information as well. This version will guide the reader through the process of creating a VHDL design, simulating the design, synthesizing the design, placing and routing the design, using VITAL simulation to verify the final result.

Python is an Internet and systems programming language that is soaring in popularity in today's fast-paced software development environment, and no wonder: it's simple (yet robust), object-oriented (yet can be used as a procedural language), extensible, scalable and features an easy to learn syntax that is clear and concise. Python combines the power of a compiled object language like Java and C++ with the ease of use and rapid development time of a scripting language. In fact, it's syntax is so easy to understand that you are more likely to pick it up faster than any of the other popular scripting languages in use today!

Illustrated instructions and plans for an awesome mix of racing, board, shoot 'em up, strategy, retro, and puzzle games

Aimed at the working (or aspiring) Visual C/C++ game programmer, Game Programming Gems contains over 60 programming tips that have been gathered from more than 40 working game gurus. It you want to build your own games or are interested simply in how games work, this text provides an intriguing glimpse into how the pros create state-of-the-art 3-D animation.

Objective-C is a small but powerful set of extensions to the standard ANSI C language. Objective-C is designed to give C full object-oriented programming capabilities in a straightforward way. This document is about the first component of the development environment — the programming language. It fully describes the Objective-C language, and provides a foundation for learning about the second component, the Mac OS X Objective-C application frameworks—collectively known as Cocoa.

This book (widely known as K&R, after the authors' initials) has for over twenty years been the best way to learn C. In this book you'll find information not just about C, but about good programming style, code reuse, the value of clear comments--in short, you will introduced to the skill set of an experienced computer professional.

This book takes an object-oriented approach to introduce Visual Basic .NET. The author begins by covering object-oriented analysis, design, and modeling using UML. He then moves into a detailed discussion of objects and clasess, after which, readers begin develoing their own short programs. Advanced topics such as data structures, components, and distributed/Internet programming are also covered. Programmers interested in learning the Visual Basic .NET programming language.

This unique book discusses programming, design and building evaluation providing a joined up approach to building design. By linking the functional and architectonic qualities of a building, the authors show the practical implications of the utility value of buildings. Starting by looking at how the relationship between form and function has been dealt with by different approaches to architecture from a historical perspective, it goes on to discuss how the desired functional quality and utility value of a building can be expressed in a brief and given a physical form by the architect. Finally, it advises on how to carry out post-occupancy evaluation and provides the architect with methods and techniques for testing whether the intended utility value of a building has been achieved.

Во втором издании третьего тома содержится полный обзор классических алгоритмов сортировки и поиска. Представленная в нем информация дополняет приведенное в первом томе обсуждение структур данных. Автор рассматривает принципы построения больших и малых баз данных, а также внутренней и внешней памяти. В книге приведена подборка тщательно проверенных компьютерных алгоритмов и представлен анализ их эффективности. Кроме того, специальный раздел посвящен методам оптимальной сортировки и описанию новой теории перестановки и универсального хеширования.

В третьем издании второго тома представлено полное введение в теорию получисленных алгоритмов, причем случайным числам и арифметике посвящены отдельные главы. В книге даны основы теории получисленных алгоритмов, а также примеры этих алгоритмов. Тем самым установлено прочное связующее звено между компьютерным программированием и численным анализом. Особого упоминания заслуживают предложенная Кнутом в настоящем издании новая трактовка генераторов случайных чисел, а также рассмотрение способов вычислений с помощью формальных степенных рядов.

Первый том серии книг `Искусство программирования` начинается с описания основных понятий и методов программирования. Затем автор сосредоточивается на рассмотрении информационных структур - представлении информации внутри компьютера, структурных связях между элементами данных и способах эффективной работы с ними. Для методов имитации, символьных вычислений, числовых методов и методов разработки программного обеспечения даны примеры элементарных приложений. По сравнению с предыдущим изданием добавлены десятки простых, но в то же время очень важных алгоритмов. В соответствии с современными направлениями исследований был существенно переработан также раздел математического введения.
