Interview with Andrei Alexandrescu (Part 3 of 3) By Andrei Alexandrescu, Eric Niebler Aug 25, 2010 Eric Niebler and Andrei Alexandrescu conclude their conversation about the D programming language by discussing concurrency, the complications of sharing data, dynamic loading, specification and licensing, and the future of D.

Adding an Easy File Save and File Load Mechanism to Your C++ Program By Jeff Cogswell Jul 1, 2005 Why waste your time figuring out an algorithm for storing things in a file? And why spend time debugging the code? Let the Boost library do it for you. Saving your data to your own custom-made file formats is easy with the help of the Boost serialization templates. Jeff Cogswell shows you how to save the data and read it back in with ease.

All Systems Are Go: An Interview with Rob Pike, the Co-developer of Google's Go Programming Language By Rob Pike, Danny Kalev Aug 17, 2010 Danny Kalev talks with Rob Pike, the co-developer of Google's new Go programming language. In this interview, Pike speaks about the limitations of C++ in large-scale projects, the design philosophy of Go and its unusual type-system, and Go's future.

An In-Depth Look at Metafunctions in C++ By Aleksey Gurtovoy, David Abrahams Apr 1, 2005 This chapter looks at a practical example from science and engineering that can find applications in almost any numerical code. Along the way, you'll learn some important new concepts and get a taste of metaprogramming at a high level using the MPL.

An Interview with Barbara Moo on C++11 By Barbara E. Moo, Danny Kalev Nov 12, 2012 C++ Primer has been one of the most popular C++ textbooks for nearly two decades. Now in its new fifth edition, it covers all of the new C++11 core features and library changes. Danny Kalev interviewed co-author Barbara Moo about the new edition of C++ Primer, the writing process, her experiences from the early days of AT&T’s C++ project, and her future plans.

An Interview with Brian Kernighan on C and The C Programming Language By John Wait, Brian W. Kernighan Oct 1, 2012 Originally published in 1978 and updated in 1988, The C Programming Language is considered a “must-read” classic by most programmers and is generally known simply as “K&R.”  To mark the publication of an ebook version of the 1988 second edition, we interviewed coauthor Brian Kernighan about the C programming language, the book, and future trends.

C/C++ Memory Management, Bit Fields, and Function Pointers By Stephen B. Morris Aug 26, 2015 You're sure that your C/C++ memory-allocation code is bulletproof, but will the code work when the host platform is under stress? Consider using bit flags for applications that require low-level data access. Modern programming also routinely requires the use of complex language features such as callbacks and function pointers. As Stephen B. Morris explains, the use cases for these features are both simple and powerful.

C++ Basics By Peter Gottschling Feb 5, 2016 Learn the fundamental features of C++, including variables, operators, expressions and statements, functions, error handling, I/O, arrays, pointers, and references, and structuring software projects.

C++ Coding Standards: Report, Handle, and Translate Errors Appropriately By Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu Apr 29, 2005 In C++, as in all coding, it is important to address errors as soon as they are detected. This chapter provides the process for dealing with errors in a precise and prompt manner.

C++ Coding Standards: Take Parameters Appropriately by Value, (Smart) Pointer, or Reference By Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu May 6, 2005 Choosing well among values, references, and pointers for parameters is good habit that maximizes both safety and efficiency. This chapter from Herb Sutter and Andrei Alexandrescu will help you do just that.

C++ Tip #83: Use a Checked STL Implementation By Herb Sutter, Andrei Alexandrescu Mar 18, 2005 In C++, it's all too easy to make iterator mistakes, and you may not even detect them when compiling and running your program. That's the bad news. The good news is that you don't have to run blind. There are tools for checking your code for these errors, and this chapter will tell you how to use them.

Concurrency in the D Programming Language By Andrei Alexandrescu Jul 6, 2010 Andrei Alexandrescu explains recent hardware changes allowing concurrency and how the D programming languages addresses these possibilities.

Construction Unions: A C++ Challenge By Herb Sutter Feb 4, 2005 In this C++ Challenge, Herb Sutter throws down the gauntlet. Can you get around the C++ rule of using constructed objects as members of unions? Find out the answer in this sample chapter.

Data and the C Programming Language By Stephen Prata Dec 20, 2013 This chapter explores the two great families of data types: integer and floating point. C offers several varieties of these types. This chapter tells you what the types are, how to declare them, and how and when to use them. Also, you discover the differences between constants and variables.

Designing and Writing Generic Facilities: A C++ Challenge By Herb Sutter Jan 28, 2005 This chapter provides you with the opportunity to flex your C++ muscles by critiquing a piece of code. Can you find a better way to optimize this code for idiomatic usage? Find out in this challenge from Herb Sutter.

Domain-Specific Languages: An Introductory Example By Martin Fowler Sep 27, 2010 In this excerpt from his book, Domain-Specific Languages, Martin Fowler offers a concrete example to demonstrate the different forms a DSL can take.

Eight Terrifying Team Project Mistakes By John Paul Mueller Aug 17, 2009 John Paul Mueller shares project mistakes, including these frightening (true) examples.

Exceptional C++ Style: Index Tables By Herb Sutter Apr 15, 2005 It may seem obvious, but clear, concise code benefits everyone in the process. This sample chapter from Exceptional C++ Style explains in detail how clear code enhances productivity at every step of the way, not just for programmers and debuggers.

From Mathematics to Generic Programming: An Interview with Alexander Stepanov and Daniel Rose By John Lakos, Alexander A. Stepanov, Daniel E. Rose Feb 16, 2015 John Lakos interviews Alexander Stepanov and Daniel Rose, authors of From Mathematics to Generic Programming, on their new book, why it applies to everyday programmers, and their positions on some closely related technical issues — including value semantics, concepts, contracts, and polymorphic memory resources — facing the C++ Standards Committee today.

Helping the Development Team Learn More About the Business By Lisa Crispin Aug 18, 2009 Your software development team might be brilliant at testing and coding, but the team can support your business much better with software if they know that business inside and out. Lisa Crispin shows how the effort can pay off.
