Instructor's Manual to Accompany Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Julie Sussman - 1998
It contains discussions of exercises and other material in the text as well as supplementary material, additional examples and exercises, and teaching suggestions. An appendix summarizes the Scheme programming language as used in the text, showing at what point in the text each element of Scheme is introduced.
Bug Proofing Visual Basic: A Guide to Error Handling and Prevention
Rod Stephens - 1998
Written by VB guru Rod Stephens, this practical book offers strategies for writing effective, error-free programs and how to repair programs damaged by bugs.
Algorithms in C++, Parts 1-4: Fundamentals, Data Structure, Sorting, Searching
Robert Sedgewick - 1998
Christopher Van Wyk and Sedgewick have developed new C++ implementations that both express the methods in a concise and direct manner, and also provide programmers with the practical means to test them on real applications. Many new algorithms are presented, and the explanations of each algorithm are much more detailed than in previous editions. A new text design and detailed, innovative figures, with accompanying commentary, greatly enhance the presentation. The third edition retains the successful blend of theory and practice that has made Sedgewick's work an invaluable resource for more than 250,000 programmers! This particular book, Parts 1n4, represents the essential first half of Sedgewick's complete work. It provides extensive coverage of fundamental data structures and algorithms for sorting, searching, and related applications. Although the substance of the book applies to programming in any language, the implementations by Van Wyk and Sedgewick also exploit the natural match between C++ classes and ADT implementations. Highlights Expanded coverage of arrays, linked lists, strings, trees, and other basic data structures Greater emphasis on abstract data types (ADTs), modular programming, object-oriented programming, and C++ classes than in previous editions Over 100 algorithms for sorting, selection, priority queue ADT implementations, and symbol table ADT (searching) implementations New implementations of binomial queues, multiway radix sorting, randomized BSTs, splay trees, skip lists, multiway tries, B trees, extendible hashing, and much more Increased quantitative information about the algorithms, giving you a basis for comparing them Over 1000 new exercises to help you learn the properties of algorithms Whether you are learning the algorithms for the first time or wish to have up-to-date reference material that incorporates new programming styles with classic and new algorithms, you will find a wealth of useful information in this book.
HTML Goodies
Joe Burns - 1998
Author Joe Burns' content and approach have been proven by the success of the HTML Goodies Web site. The HTML Goodies Web Site (www.htmlgoodies.com) receives over 390,000 visitors a month. The site has received over 75 awards in the last year, including USA Today and CMP Publishing (publishers of popular computer magazines like Home PC, Windows Magazine, and Internet Week).Joe Burns knows exactly what beginning HTML users need because he receives (and answers!) nearly 150 e-mails a day from visitors to his Web site.This book takes the same approach to teaching as his popular Web site: know what beginners need, give them great examples and code they can immediately use, and keep it fast and fun.The book goes far beyond HTML basics. It shows readers how to build the Web site features that they want the most, from password protected pages to visitor counters, guest books, scrolling marquees, RealAudio sound, and searchable databases. The book is heavily tied into the Web site -- each lesson and example in the book will have a direct URL to the HTML Goodies site where the reader can actually see exactly how the HTML code works. The Web Goodies site will also heavily advertise and cross-promote the book.
HTML Programmer's Reference
Thomas A. Powell - 1998
HTML is used to indicate where and how things are visually presented on a web page. The majority of the web pages in the world have HTML in them.
Windows NT Shell Scripting
Tim Hill - 1998
Divided into three parts, this authoritative guide covers the native Windows NT scripting language, including shell command syntax; proven, ready-to-use scripts for solving common problems and accomplishing specific tasks; a wealth of otherwise undocumented commands; all Windows NT scripting commands, comprehensively referenced and organized by functional group for ease of use; and case studies that demonstrate how these techniques are currently being used to solve real problems.
