With the same insight and authority that made their book The Unix
Programming Environment a classic, Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike have
written The Practice of Programming to help make individual
programmers more effective and productive. The practice of programming
is more than just writing code. Programmers must also assess
tradeoffs, choose among design alternatives, debug and test, improve
performance, and maintain software written by themselves and others.
At the same time, they must be concerned with issues like
compatibility, robustness, and reliability, while meeting
specifications. The Practice of Programming covers all these topics,
and more. This book is full of practical advice and real-world
examples in C, C++, Java, and a variety of special-purpose languages.
It includes chapters on: debugging: finding bugs quickly and
methodically testing: guaranteeing that software works correctly and
reliably performance: making programs faster and more compact
portability: ensuring that programs run everywhere without change
design: balancing goals and constraints to decide which algorithms and
data structures are best interfaces: using abstraction and information
hiding to control the interactions between components style: writing
code that works well and is a pleasure to read notation: choosing
languages and tools that let the machine do more of the work Kernighan
and Pike have distilled years of experience writing programs,
teaching, and working with other programmers to create this book.
Anyone who writes software will profit from the principles and
guidance in The Practice of Programming.
