The book covers a wide range of topics: a comprehensive explanation of data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, graphing, and string processing, including fifty algorithms (code on site) that every programmer should know. Describes new implementations of algorithms in Java, written in a clear, modular style in which all the code is accessible to the reader and fully ready to use. The book explores algorithms in Java in the context of critical scientific, engineering, and commercial applications. Clients and algorithms are expressed using real code, not pseudocode as in many other books.

What sets this book apart from many others is its clear and concise text, detailed examples with illustrations, carefully chosen code, historical and scientific context, and exercises for self-study at all levels. The book presents accurate performance considerations supported by appropriate mathematical models and empirical studies that support the validity of these models.

Written in lively, accessible, and sometimes ironic style, the book is richly illustrated and consists of 25 chapters and a subject index.

The publication is intended primarily for college students (both humanities and technical), as well as for anyone interested in the principles of creating and running a computer.

The post “Code. The Secret Language of Computer Science”, Charles Petzold appeared first on Max-Midi.

The third edition has six new chapters and numerous edits to the main text, so that the book is now better suited to modern development environments and contemporary problems. In particular, it discusses leadership pathologies not previously thought of as pathologies, the evolving culture of meetings, and also the growing realization that some of our tools serve as anchors rather than engines. Anyone who needs to manage a software development project or an entire organization of this kind will find plenty of valuable advice in the pages of this book.

The post “The Human Factor. Successful Projects and Teams,” Tom Demarco, Timothy Lister appeared first on Max-Midi.

All of them had been hooked on programming since high school. At that time, in the early days of the industry, very few schools offered courses in computer science. Therefore, the future gurus had to conquer professional heights on their own, but all of them are distinguished by creative burning and total dedication to the work they love.

You will learn what they think about the future of programming and how they themselves learned to program, how, in their opinion, software should be designed, how the choice of programming language affects productivity, and whether it is possible to facilitate the detection of hard-to-find bugs.

The book is intended for programmers, designers and architects who create enterprise applications and strive to improve the quality of strategic decisions.

The post “Enterprise Application Templates,” Martin Fowler appeared first on Max-Midi.

The first volume of the series begins with a description of basic programming concepts and methods. The author then concentrates on the consideration of information structures–the representation of information within a computer, the structural relationships between data elements, and ways to work effectively with them. For simulation methods, symbolic computation, numerical methods, and software development methods, examples of elementary applications are given. Compared with the previous edition, dozens of simple, yet very important algorithms have been added. The mathematical introduction section has also been substantially revised in accordance with modern lines of research.
