C++ Network Programming, Volume 2: Systematic Reuse with ACE and Frameworks


C++ Network Programming, Volume 2, focuses on ACE frameworks, providing thorough coverage of the concepts, patterns, and usage rules that form their structure. This book is a practical guide to designing object-oriented frameworks and shows developers how to apply frameworks to concurrent networked applications. C++ Networking, Volume 1, introduced ACE and the wrapper facades, which are basic network computing ingredients. Volume 2 explains how frameworks build on wrapper facades to provide higher-level communication services.Written by two experts in the ACE community, this book contains:*An overview of ACE frameworks*Design dimensions for networked services*Descriptions of the key capabilities of the most important ACE frameworks*Numerous C++ code examples that demonstrate how to use ACE frameworksC++ Network Programming, Volume 2, teaches how to use frameworks to write networked applications quickly, reducing development effort and overhead. It will be an invaluable asset to any C++ developer working on networked applications.

You Can Program in C++: A Programmer's Introduction

An interactive and fun way to learn C++, one of the most popular high-level programming languages for graphic applications This unique, hands-on approach to learning C++ makes the experience fun and interesting by offering the opportunity for readers to get started on real coding Features numerous examples and project ideas as well as GUI and audio extensions so readers can get instant feedback - in addition to instant gratification from producing a program that works Written by one of the world's leading authorities on C and C++, the book includes invaluable reference sections at the end of each chapter Discusses modern C++ idioms, which are often neglected in other publications

Financial Instrument Pricing Using C++

One of the best languages for the development of financial engineering and instrument pricing applications is C++. This book has several features that allow developers to write robust, flexible and extensible software systems. The book is an ANSI/ISO standard, fully object-oriented and interfaces with many third-party applications. It has support for templates and generic programming, massive reusability using templates (write once) and support for legacy C applications. In this book, author Daniel J. Duffy brings C++ to the next level by applying it to the design and implementation of classes, libraries and applications for option and derivative pricing models. He employs modern software engineering techniques to produce industrial-strength applications: Using the Standard Template Library (STL) in finance Creating your own template classes and functions Reusable data structures for vectors, matrices and tensors Classes for numerical analysis (numerical linear algebra ) Solving the Black Scholes equations, exact and approximate solutions Implementing the Finite Difference Method in C++ Integration with the Gang of Four Design Patterns Interfacing with Excel (output and Add-Ins) Financial engineering and XML Cash flow and yield curves Included with the book is a CD containing the source code in the Datasim Financial Toolkit. You can use this to get up to speed with your C++ applications by reusing existing classes and libraries. 'Unique... Let's all give a warm welcome to modern pricing tools.' -- Paul Wilmott, mathematician, author and fund manager

Imperfect C++: Practical Solutions for Real-Life Programming

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¡ªand get far better results.If you're a long-time C++ developer, this book will help you see your programming challenges in new ways¡ªand illuminate powerful techniques you may never have tried. If you're newer to C++, you'll learn principles that will make you more effective in all of your projects.

C++ In Action: Industrial Strength Programming Techniques


DescriptionC++ In Action progresses through object-oriented programming and language features specific to C++ , techniques for modifying programs, the Windows programming paradigm, and the large-scale aspects of software development. The author covers the standard template library, resource management, exception handling, and encapsulating the Windows API into C classes, namespaces, and templates.Modern guide to using C++ langugage, including how to apply it to Windows programming. Shows how to write programs for programmers, not computers.

C++ Common Knowledge: Essential Intermediate Programming


What Every Professional C++ Programmer Needs to Know¡ªPared to Its Essentials So It Can Be Efficiently and Accurately AbsorbedC++ is a large, complex language, and learning it is never entirely easy. But some concepts and techniques must be thoroughly mastered if programmers are ever to do professional-quality work. This book cuts through the technical details to reveal what is commonly understood to be absolutely essential. In one slim volume, Steve Dewhurst distills what he and other experienced managers, trainers, and authors have found to be the most critical knowledge required for successful C++ programming. It doesn¡¯t matter where or when you first learned C++. Before you take another step, use this book as your guide to make sure you¡¯ve got it right!This book is for you if*You¡¯re no ¡°dummy,¡± and you need to get quickly up to speed in intermediate to advanced C++*You¡¯ve had some experience in C++ programming, but reading intermediate and advanced C++ books is slow-going*You¡¯ve had an introductory C++ course, but you¡¯ve found that you still can¡¯t follow your colleagues when they¡¯re describing their C++ designs and code*You¡¯re an experienced C or Java programmer, but you don¡¯t yet have the experience to develop nuanced C++ code and designs*You¡¯re a C++ expert, and you¡¯re looking for an alternative to answering the same questions from your less-experienced colleagues over and over againC++ Common Knowledge covers essential but commonly misunderstood topics in C++ programming and design while filtering out needless complexity in the discussion of each topic. What remains is a clear distillation of the essentials required for production C++ programming, presented in the author¡¯s trademark incisive, engaging style.

The C++ Standard Library Extensions: A Tutorial and Reference


The current C++ standard library extends the core C++ language with common classes and functions. In recent years, to address limitations in that library, a number of components have been developed to extend the language even further. Compiled in a comprehensive technical report (TR1), the bulk of these extensions have been approved for the next revision of the C++ standard.In this book, Pete Becker describes in detail each component in the TR1 library, explaining new facilities for utilities, containers, call wrappers, type traits, numerics, regular expressions, and C compatibility. He draws on his own experience implementing these components to illustrate their value, clarifying the specifications when necessary and providing complete, tested code examples.Most chapters include exercises of various degrees of difficulty to help programmers get hands-on practice with the new components. Answers to the exercises, along with all code examples, are available on the Web. Appendixes comprise a summary of headers included in or extended by the TR1 library, as well as guidelines on how to use the components safely in multithreaded applications.The C++ Standard Library Extensions is for any programmer who wants to get a jump on the revised standard. It also makes the perfect companion to The C++ Standard Library, by Nicolai Josuttis, both books being tutorials and references essential for using C++ more effectively.
