Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley (English) Paperback Book

Description: Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Each chapter discusses a problem the programmer will face every day, and suggests methods around it. The underlying thought behind the book is creativity. Publisher Description When programmers list their favourite books, Jon Bentleys collection of programming pearls is commonly included among the classics. Just as natural pearls grow from grains of sand that irritate oysters, programming pearls have grown from real problems that have irritated real programmers. With origins beyond solid engineering, in the realm of insight and creativity, Bentleys pearls offer unique and clever solutions to those nagging problems. Illustrated by programs designed as much for fun as for instruction, the book is filled with lucid and witty descriptions of practical programming techniques and fundamental design principles. It is not at all surprising that Programming Pearls has been so highly valued by programmers at every level of experience. What remains the same in this edition is Bentleys focus on the hard core of programming problems and his delivery of workable solutions to those problems. Whether you are new to Bentleys classic or are revisiting his work for some fresh insight, the book is sure to make your own list of favourites. Author Biography I. PRELIMINARIES. Column 1.
