Write Great Code, Volume 3: Engineering Software

1 online resource (376 pages) The field of software engineering may value team productivity over individual growth, but legendary computer scientist Randall Hyde wants to make promising programmers into masters of their craft. To that end, Engineering Software -the latest volume in Hyde's highly regarded Write Great Code series-offers his signature in-depth coverage of everything from development methodologies and strategic productivity to object-oriented design requirements and system documentation. You'll learn: •Why following the software craftsmanship model can lead you to do your best work •How to utilize traceability to enforce consistency within your documentation •The steps for creating your own UML requirements with use-case analysis •How to leverage the IEEE documentation standards to create better software This advanced apprenticeship in the skills, attitudes, and ethics of quality software development reveals the right way to apply engineering principles to programming. Hyde will teach you the rules, and show you when to break them. Along the way, he offers illuminating insights into best practices while empowering you to invent new ones. Brimming with resources and packed with examples, Engineering Software is your go-to guide for writing code that will set you apart from your peers Made available through: Safari, an O'Reilly Media Company Online resource; Title from title page (viewed August 13, 2020) The field of software engineering may value team productivity over individual growth, but legendary computer scientist Randall Hyde wants to make promising programmers into masters of their craft.

Oday's programming languages offer productivity and portability, but also make it easy to write sloppy code that isn't optimized for a compiler. Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level will teach you to craft source code that results in good machine code once it's run through a compiler. You'll learn: " ow to analyze the output of a compiler to verify that your code generates good machine code " he types of machine code statements that compilers generate for common control structures, so you can choose the best statements when writing HLL code " nough assembly language to read compiler output " ow compilers convert various constant and variable objects into machine data With an understanding of how compilers work, you'll be able to write source code that they can translate into elegant machine code. NEW TO THIS EDITION, COVERAGE OF: " rogramming languages like Swift and Java " ode generation on modern 64-bit CPUs " RM processors on mobile phones and tablets " tack-based architectures like the Java Virtual Machine " odern language systems like the Microsoft Common Language Runtime "Understanding the Machine, the first volume explains the underlying mechanics of how a computer works. The first volume dives into machine organization without the extra overhead of learning assembly language programming. Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level, the second volume in covers high-level programming languages (such as Swift and Java) as well as code generation on 64-bit CPUsARM, the Java Virtual Machine, and the Microsoft Common Runtime. Written for high-level language programmers, the series fills in the low-level details of machine organization that are often left out of computer science and engineering courses."-- Publisher description
