admin — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 20:25:56 +0000

Ebook is written primarily for professional java programmers and is a comprehensive handbook and manual on basic programming language Java. However, it is not just a textbook on the syntax of the language. Appointment of electronic books – to teach the techniques of object-oriented programming and learn how to cope with major problems in this area. Using the ebook requires no programming experience in C++ and application of the OOP. Any programmer who worked with such languages as Visual Basic, C, Cobol or Pascal, will not have trouble working with it. Electronic book contains numerous examples and tips on java programming. The authors of the book devoted great attention to the opportunities that were available to programmers with the advent of JDK 6.0. The new language and library funds were reflected in the code examples cited in the ebook.

Download “Advanced C++ Programming Styles and Idioms”, book by James O. Coplien

admin — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:46:37 +0000

Recipient of Computer Language 1991 JOLT Cola Productivity Award *One of JOOP Magazine’s Top Ten Books of the Decade (three years in a row) *A 1992 Stacey’s best-seller *Continued critical acclaim in October 1995 Dr. Dobb’s Written by an expert in C++, Advanced C++ Programming Styles and Idioms looks at the design features of the C++ programming language. Assuming a background in the syntax of C++, Coplien shows in this book how to become an expert C++ programmer by learning the idioms of the language. His approach is organized around the abstractions that C++ supports: abstract data types, combining types in inheritance structures, object-oriented programming, and multiple inheritance. Using small, but rich examples, he shows in this electronic book how these abstractions can be combined to use the language effectively. Experienced C++ programmers will appreciate the comprehensive coverage of Release 3.0.

Download “Multi-Paradigm Design for C++”, book by James O. Coplien

admin — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 19:32:19 +0000

C++ – programming language that supports many paradigms: classes, overloaded functions, templates, modules, procedural programming, parallel programming, etc. In spite of the flexibility and variety of language, require significant effort to develop a method of design that allows to use multiple paradigms in a single application. This ebook series, simply and aptly describes the environment for the application multi-paradigm design, offers an impressive array of design techniques that form the basis of multi-paradigm design.
The C++ language is being used increasingly for complex and large-scale software systems-systems that call for multi-paradigm design. Well known for his C++ expertise, James Coplien guides program designers through the most challenging aspects of C++ design. In this electronic book, James Coplien describes each paradigm and explains how it solves the design problem at hand and how it applies to C++.
