Editorial Review Product Description D is a programming language built to help programmers address the challenges of modern software development. It does so by fostering modules interconnected through precise interfaces, a federation of tightly integrated programming paradigms, language-enforced thread isolation, modular type safety, an efficient memory model, and more. The D Programming Language is an authoritative and comprehensive introduction to D. Reflecting the author’s signature style, the writing is casual and conversational, but never at the expense of focus and precision. It covers all aspects of the language (such as expressions, statements, types, functions, contracts, and modules), but it is much more than an enumeration of features. Inside the book you will find Written for the working programmer, The D Programming Language not only introduces the D language—it presents a compendium of good practices and idioms to help both your coding with D and your coding in general.

Editorial Review Product Description Although this book wasconceived several decades ago, it is still a timeless classic. One ofthe book's greatest strengths is the wonderful collection of problemsthat accompany each chapter. The author has chosen problems carefullyand indexed them according to difficulty. Solving a substantial numberof these problems will help you gain a solid understanding of theissues surrounding the given topic. Furthermore, the exercises featurea variety of classic problems. Fundamental Algorithms beginswith mathematical preliminaries. The first section offers a goodgrounding in a variety of useful mathematical tools: proof techniques,combinatorics, and elementary number theory. Knuth then details theMIX processor, a virtual machine architecture that serves as theprogramming target for subsequent discussions. This wonderful sectioncomprehensively covers the principles of simple machine architecture,beginning with a register-level discussion of the instruction set. Alater discussion of a simulator for this machine includes an excellentdescription of the principles underlying the implementation ofsubroutines and co-routines. Implementing such a simulator is anexcellent introduction to computer design. In the second section,Knuth covers data structures--stacks, queues, lists, arrays, andtrees--and presents implementations (in MIX assembly) along withtechniques for manipulating these structures. Knuth follows many ofthe algorithms with careful time and space analysis. In the section ontree structures, the discussion includes a series of interestingproblems concerning the combinatorics of trees (counting distincttrees of a particular form, for example) and some particularlyinteresting applications. Also featured is a discussion of Huffmannencoding and, in the section on lists, an excellent introduction togarbage collection algorithms and the difficult challenges associatedwith such a task. The book closes with a discussion of dynamicallocation algorithms. The clear writing in FundamentalAlgorithms is enhanced by Knuth's dry humor and the historicaldiscussions that accompany the technical matter. Overall, this text isone of the great classics of computer programming literature--it's notan easy book to grasp, but one that any true programmer will studywith pleasure. Customer Reviews (49)
