In A Tour of C++, Third Edition, Bjarne Stroustrup provides an overview of ISO C++, C++20, that aims to give experienced programmers a clear understanding of what constitutes modern C++. Featuring carefully crafted examples and practical help in getting started, this revised and updated edition concisely covers most major language features and the major standard-library components needed for effective use. Stroustrup presents C++ features in the context of the programming styles they support, such as object-oriented and generic programming. His tour is remarkably comprehensive. Coverage begins with the basics, then ranges widely through more advanced topics, emphasizing newer language features. This edition covers many features that are new in C++20 as implemented by major C++ suppliers, including modules, concepts, coroutines, and ranges. It even introduces some library components in current use that are not scheduled for inclusion in the standard until C++23. This authoritative guid
As thousands of developers focus on constructing reliable, well-performing, and secure APIs, there's immense demand for a practical, up-to-date, technology-and-platform-independent guide to API design. API Design Patterns fills this gap. A team of expert authors cut through the complexity of API communication and message content, presenting rich and complete design guidelines and heuristics for engineering APIs sustainably and specifying them clearly. API Design Patterns covers the entire API lifecycle, from launching projects and establishing business goals through defining architecturally significant requirements, elaborating and implementing designs, and documentation. It illuminates patterns drawn from both public web APIs and proprietary application development and software integration projects the authors have led or participated in. You'll find a complete library of concrete, actionable design patterns, each formatted consistently to explain context, forces, problem, solution, d
It's been 50 years since the discipline of cybersecurity originated, but users and developers still spread and succumb to many of the same pitfalls in design and practice. The same mistakes keep getting repeated, people keep getting misled, and cybersecurity remains far from optimal. In Cyber Myths, three cybersecurity pioneers don't just deliver the first comprehensive collection of false folk wisdom that derails security from the frontlines to the boardroom: they offer expert practical advice for avoiding or overcoming each myth. Whatever your cybersecurity role or experience, Eugene Spafford, Leigh Metcalf, and Josiah Dykstra will help you surface hidden dangers, prevent avoidable errors, eliminate faulty assumptions, and resist deeply human cognitive biases that compromise prevention, investigation, and research. Throughout, you'll find examples drawn from actual cybersecurity events, detailed techniques for recognizing and overcoming security fallacies, and recommended mitigations
Out of all the ways for young people to learn coding, You Can Code will be the most welcoming, relevant, and fun. Created and authored by best-selling educator Ben Forta, it introduces every basic concept step by step, using projects of gradually increasing complexity. Designed for anyone age 10-17 (or thereabouts), this glossy full-color guide is packed with welcoming images, and powerfully engaging brief text that's extremely easy to understand. All code listings are in full color, with shading to reveal incremental changes, and QR links to short videos with more explanation and examples. Forta teaches with Python, one of today's most powerful and intuitive languages--and every project is a game, covering multiple popular genres. You Can Code makes programming exciting and rewarding, as it prepares a new generation to take their next steps forward--in education, careers, or both.
