Auch wenn das Wort "Einführung" im Untertitel vorkommt, so ist C++ auch in der 9., neu bearbeiteten Auflage beileibe kein Einsteigerbuch im Sinne von 'Gehirnchirurgie in 21 Tagen' oder 'Brückenkonstruktion für Dummies'. Ulrich Breymann wendet sich an Studenten und Dozenten der Informatik und Ingenieurwissenschaften sowie Programmierer und Softwareentwickler. Dennoch hat die 9. Auflage einen kleinen neuen Zuspruch an Einsteiger: neue Abschnitte führen Schritt für Schritt durch die Konstruktion des ersten Programms mithilfe einer Open-Source-Entwicklungsumgebung. Ansonsten hat Breymann gekennzeichnete Änderungen hinsichtlich des kommenden C++09-Standards vorgenommen, vor allem in Bereichen, in denen Compiler diese Entwicklung bereits umsetzen.

When first exposed to the Extensible Markup Language (XML), you might ask yourself how it fits in the overall picture of Web-related items. This is the same question developers, managers, and presidents ask, not only of their peers, but of themselves as well. Ironically, this is the same question people in those roles asked themselves years ago with other computer-based equipment such as personal computers, databases, and even MS Windows.

Volume I teaches important concepts of machine organization in a language-independent fashion. Volume II teaches ways to write high-level language code to help the compiler produce high-quality machine code. By Randall Hyde, author of "The Art Of Assembly Language".



It's a critical lesson that today's computer science students aren't always being taught: How to carefully choose their high-level language statements to produce efficient code. Write Great Code, Volume 2: Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level shows software engineers what too many college and university courses don't - how compilers translate high-level language statements and data structures into machine code. Armed with this knowledge, they will make informed choices concerning the use of those high-level structures and help the compiler produce far better machine code - all without having to give up the productivity and portability benefits of using a high-level language.
