This book is the most accurate and up-to-date source of information the STL currently available. ... It has an approach and appeal of its own: it explains techniques for building data structures and algorithms on top of the STL, and in this way appreciates the STL for what it is - a framework. Angelika Langer, Independent Consultant and C++ Report Columnist "A superbly authored treatment of the STL......an excellent book which belongs in any serious C++ developer s library." Jim Armstrong, President 2112 F/X, Texas. \n
The C++ Standard Template Library (STL) represents a breakthrough in C++ programming techniques. With it, software developers can achieve vast improvements in the reliability of their software, and increase their own productivity.
C++ Template Metaprogramming sheds light on the most powerful idioms of today s C++, at long last delivering practical metaprogramming tools and techniques into the hands of the everyday programmer.
A metaprogram is a program that generates or manipulates program code. Ever since generic programming was introduced to C++, programmers have discovered myriad "template tricks" for manipulating programs as they are compiled, effectively eliminating the barrier between program and metaprogram. While excitement among C++ experts about these capabilities has reached the community at large, their practical application remains out of reach for most programmers. This book explains what metaprogramming is and how it is best used. It provides the foundation you ll need to use the template metaprogramming effectively in your own work.
Writing Your First ASP Application ( Quick Start )
(Page 1 of 8 )
There are many tutorials out there that show you how to program in ASP. Some of them are good, and some are bad. Some of them are downright terrible. In any case, you ve read a bit about ASP and now you are ready to build your first application. But where do you start?
In my own experience, I have found that I find it easier to learn something if I actually work with it hands-on. Just reading a book or documentation doesn’t give you the practical knowledge you need to be able to rush off and start creating applications.
In this article, I will discuss the creation of a very simple application. I will cover what the application will do, how we will approach writing it, demonstrate in code how we will do it, and discuss additional features that could be added to it.

The initial planning and thinking about this book began during a discussion of SQL Server futures in
July 2001. The discussion was with Rob Howard during a trip to Microsoft to discuss the first book I was
working on at that time. After that, I stayed involved in what was happening in ADO.NET by going to
the SQL Server Yukon Technical Preview in Bellevue, Washington, in February 2002 and by working
with the ASP.NET and SQL Server teams at Microsoft since July 2003.
Software Testing, Second Edition provides practical insight into the world of software testing and quality assurance. Learn how to find problems in any computer program, how to plan an effective test approach and how to tell when software is ready for release. Updated from the previous edition in 2000 to include a chapter that specifically deals with testing software for security bugs, the processes and techniques used throughout the book are timeless. This book is an excellent investment if you want to better understand what your Software Test team does or you want to write better software.
C++, although a marvelous language, isn t perfect. Matthew Wilson has been working with it for over a decade, and during that time he has found inherent limitations that require skillful workarounds. In this book, he doesn t just tell you what s wrong with C++, but offers practical techniques and tools for writing code that s more robust, flexible, efficient, and maintainable. He shows you how to tame C++ s complexity, cut through its vast array of paradigms, take back control over your code--and get far better results
Mod_python is an Apache module that embeds the Python interpreter within the server. With mod_python you can write web-based applications in Python that will run many times faster than traditional CGI and will have access to advanced features such as ability to retain database connections and other data between hits and access to Apache internals. A more detailed description of what mod_python can do is available in this O Reilly article.
