Jon Bentley

When programmers list their favorite books, Jon Bentley’s collection of programming pearls is commonly included among the classics. Just as natural pearls grow from grains of sand that irritate oysters, programming pearls have grown from real problems that have irritated real programmers. With origins beyond solid engineering, in the realm of insight and creativity, Bentley’s pearls offer unique and clever solutions to those nagging problems. Illustrated by programs designed as much for fun as for instruction, the book is filled with lucid and witty descriptions of practical programming techniques and fundamental design principles. It is not at all surprising that Programming Pearls has been so highly valued by programmers at every level of experience. In this revision, the first in 14 years, Bentley has substantially updated his essays to reflect current programming methods and environments. In addition, there are three new essays on testing, debugging, and timing set representations string problems All the original programs have been rewritten, and an equal amount of new code has been generated. Implementations of all the programs, in C or C++, are now available on the Web. What remains the same in this new edition is Bentley’s focus on the hard core of programming problems and his delivery of workable solutions to those problems. Whether you are new to Bentley’s classic or are revisiting his work for some fresh insight, the book is sure to make your own list of favorites.

"《Programming Pearls》的第一版是我職業生涯早期讀過對我影響最大的書籍，有許多在書中初次遇到的見解在讀完後依然縈繞在心。Jon在更新相關素材上做得很棒，我對令人耳目一新的範例非常印象深刻。" -Steve McConnell，《Code Complete》作者 請程式設計師列出他們最愛的書籍時，Jon Bentley集結成書的專欄經常被包含在經典之中。就像自然的珍珠(pearls)生成自刺激著牡蠣的細沙，程式設計的「珍珠」則源於挑戰著程式設計師的真實問題。不僅源自可靠的工程實務，還跨越到洞察力與創造力領域，Bentley的智慧結晶(pearls)為令人困擾的問題提供了獨特且聰明的解法。透過兼具教育性質和趣味的程式範例，書中充滿了清晰明白、機智詼諧的描述，介紹實用的程式設計技巧和基本的設計原則。無論資深或資淺，各種經驗等級的程式設計師都高度珍視《Programming Pearls》一書，著實不讓人感到驚訝。 14年來的首次改版，Bentley大幅更新了他的文集，以反映當前的程式設計方法與環境。此外，還增添了三篇文章，專門討論(1)測試、除錯與計時；(2)集合表示法；以及(3)字串問題。原有的程式全都從頭改寫過，也產生了等量的新程式碼。所有程式的C或C++實作，現在皆可在Web上取得。 在這個新版本中，依然不變的是Bentley對於硬派程式設計問題的注重，以及他為那些問題所提供的有效解法。不管你是Bentley經典作品的新讀者，或是想要重溫此書以尋找一些新洞見的老朋友，本書肯定會被加到你的最愛之列。 #碁峰資訊 GOTOP

Programming Pearls, 2nd Edition 中文新修版(電子書)

Cars are one of the most significant human creations. They changed our cities. They changed our lives. They changed everything. But in the next thirty years, this technology will itself change enormously. If Google get their way, are we all going to be ferried around in tiny electric bubble-cars? Or will we watch robots race a bionic Lewis Hamilton? And what about the future of classic cars? In Autopia, presenter of The Gadget Show and former executive producer of Top Gear Jon Bentley celebrates motoring's rich heritage and meets the engineers (and coders) who are transforming cars forever. From mobile hotel rooms to electric battery technology; from hydrogen-powered cars to jetpacks, Autopia is the essential guide to the future of our greatest invention. Fully designed with illustrations and photographs, this will be the perfect Christmas gift for car and technology enthusiasts everywhere.
