API Design for CDD
Interfaces are the most important code that you write because a problem with your interface is far more costly to fix than a bug in your implementation. For instance, an interface change may require all of the applications based upon your code to be updated, whereas an implementation-only change can be integrated transparently and effortlessly into client applications when they adopt the new API version. Put in more economic terms, a poorly designed interface can seriously reduce the long-term survival of your code. Learning how to create high-quality interfaces is therefore an essential engineering skill, and the central focus of this book.

Object-Oriented Analysis and Design for Information Systems
diagrams by using a syntactical approach, such as Miles and Hamilton (2006). There are also a significant number of books about development processes and management activities, such as Satzinger et al. (2011). However, there are relatively few books that go deep into the presentation of best practices that allow the effective application of object-oriented techniques in software development in the real world, especially if we consider the new generation of agile methods. This means that despite the vast literature in this area, many questions faced by developers are still left unanswered.

Modern Data Mining Algorithms in C++ and CUDA C
Serious data miners are often faced with thousands of candidate features for their prediction or classification application, with most of the features being of little or no value. Worse still, many of these features may be useful only in combination with certain other features while being practically worthless alone or in combination with most others. Some features may have enormous predictive power, but only within a small, specialized area of the feature space. The problems that plague modern data miners are endless.

More Exceptional C++
The Greek philosopher Socrates taught by asking his students questions—questions designed to guide them and help them draw conclusions from what they already knew, and to show them how the things they were learning related to each other and to their existing knowledge. This method has become so famous that we now call it the “Socratic method.” From our point of view as students, Socrates’ approach involves us, makes us think, and helps us relate and apply what we already know to new information.

Algorithmic thinking
For the novice tennis player, keeping the ball in the court is hard enough (especially from the backhand side). Only after months of practice, once the basic rallying skills have been mastered, does the sport and its addictive nature begin to reveal itself. You add to your repertoire more advanced tools—a slice backhand, a kick serve, a drop volley.

Good Code, Bad Code. Think like a software engineer
About this book. Good Code, Bad Code is a clear, practical introduction to writing code that’s a snap to read, apply, and remember. With dozens of instantly-useful techniques, you’ll find coding insights that normally take years of experience to master. In this fast-paced guide, Google software engineer Tom Long teaches you a host of rules to apply, along with advice on when to break them. Software development is a team sport. For an application to succeed, your code needs to be robust and easy for others to understand, maintain, and adapt. Whether you’re working on an enterprise team, contributing to an open source project, or bootstrapping a startup, it pays to know the difference between good code and bad code.
