Far too many PROGRAMMERs and software designers consider efficient C++ to be an
oxymoron. They regard C++ as inherently slow and inappropriate for performancecritical
applications. Consequently, C++ has had little success penetrating domains such
as networking, operating system kernels, device drivers, and others.
This book introduces embedded systems to C and C++ PROGRAMMERs. Topics include testing memory devices, writing and erasing Flash memory, verifying nonvolatile memory contents, controlling on-chip peripherals, device driver design and implementation, optimizing embedded code for size and speed, and making the most of C++ without a performance penalty.
Game PROGRAMMERs, check out the only book on data structures written especially for you! Described in layman s terms, this book will explain all of the essential data structures that are used in video game programming. It will also go over some of the more advanced and specialized data structures, too. Data Structures for Game PROGRAMMERs is written in C++, and any special skills required to understand the book will be explained within it. The CD will include source code of the book, compiled demo s of the source, graphical demo code, plus tools such as Visual C++ 5, SDL, STLPort, Paint Shop Pro, and an SDL Primer by Ernest Pazera.
Algorithms for PROGRAMMERs
This draft is intended to turn into a book about selected algorithms. The audience in mind are PROGRAMMERs
who are interested in the treated algorithms and actually want to have/create working and
reasonably optimized code.
