Using the C++ Standard Template Libraries

Posted: 10 May 2016 01:46 PM PDT

Using the C++ Standard Template Libraries.

Using the C++ Standard Template Libraries is a contemporary treatment that teaches the generic programming capabilities that the C++ 14 Standard Library provides. In this book, author Ivor Horton explains what the class and function templates available with C++ 14 do, and how to use them in a practical context.

You’ll learn how to create containers, and how iterators are used with them to access, modify, and extend the data elements they contain. You’ll also learn about stream iterators that can transfer data between containers and streams, including file streams. The function templates that define algorithms are explained in detail, and you’ll learn how to pass function objects or lambda expressions to them to customize their behavior. Many working examples are included to demonstrate how to apply the algorithms with different types of containers.

After reading this book, you will understand the scope and power of the templates that the C++ 14 Standard Library includes and how these can greatly reduce the coding and development time for many applications. You’ll be able to combine the class and function templates to great effect in dealing with real-world problems.

The templates in the Standard Library provide you as a C++ programmer with a comprehensive set of efficiently implemented generic programming tools that you can use for most types of application.

What you'll learn

How to use Standard Library templates with your C++ applications.
Understand the different types of containers that are available and what they are used for.
How to define your own class types to meet the requirements of use with containers.
What iterators are, the characteristics of the various types of iterators, and how they allow algorithms to be applied to the data in different types of container.
How you can define your own iterator types.
What the templates that define algorithms do, and how you apply them to data stored in containers and arrays.
How to access hardware clocks and use them for timing execution.
How to use the templates available for compute-intensive numerical data processing.
How to create and use pseudo-random number generators with distribution objects.

Who this book is for

This book is for programmers wanting to extend C++ and learn the new APIs and libraries available in the Standard Template Library. Prior experience or knowledge with C++ is recommended.

Shell Scripting Recipes, 2nd Edition

Posted: 10 May 2016 01:43 PM PDT

Shell Scripting Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach, 2nd Edition.

Shell Scripting Recipes is filled with over 150 much-needed and practical recipes that follow a problem-solution format, and help all Unix users regain some of the lost time spent creating and testing shell scripts. Most scripts in this book are POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface)-compliant, so they are supported by many of the major shell variants, including Bash, ksh, and sh, among others. This completely updated second edition takes into account the many changes to shell scripting that have occurred since its original publication nearly ten years ago, and all the recipes are now relevant for a modern audience.

Each real-world example recipe follows the same structure and easily shows you what’s going on in each case. File conversion (DOS, UNIX, and Mac), system administration, and resource monitoring are just a few of the topics covered in this highly practical shell scripting reference. You will also find recipes for filename management, complex date calculations, screen control capabilities, and more.

Authors Chris Johnson’s and Jayant Varma’s code is clear, direct, and applicable, and he explains everything well in each recipe so that you understand not just how to do something, but why to do it that way. Shell Scripting Recipes is an invaluable book and one to add to your library today.

What you'll learn

How to effectively use the POSIX shell and command-line utilities
How to use strings, numbers, words, and filenames with ease
Effective file management and file conversion (DOS, UNIX, and Mac)
How to monitor resources effectively
How to perform complex date calculations
Manage a POP3 email server

Who this book is for

This book is for anyone who has the basic knowledge of what shell scripting is and wants to learn how to use it properly. Each recipes is explained clearly and the book begins with the simplest recipes, so all you need is a basic knowledge of what shell scripting is.

Posted: 10 May 2016 01:22 PM PDT

HTML5 Programmer's Reference.

The HTML5 Programmer's Reference aims to provide everything a programmer needs for understanding and using the new HTML5 family of standards. Previous HTML standards were focused on defining tags for marking up documents. The HTML5 family of standards not only includes new semantic tags but also defines exciting new JavaScript APIs that can be used to build rich, interactive web applications for both mobile and desktop platforms.

The HTML5 Programmer's Reference focuses on providing real-world non-trivial examples to demonstrate concepts. Chapters include both in-depth discussions and full references for all HTML5 features, as well as extras like how to find the standards, the history of their evolution, and other examples and helpful resources. With this book the reader will learn everything they need to know to build the next generation of web applications.

What you'll learn

Improve the semantics of your documents using new structural tags: sections, groups, forms, etc.
Learn the new web form features: autofocus, placeholders, field types, etc.
Explore the new AUDIO and VIDEO tags, and learn how to embed those rich media types directly into your applications.
Use the new HTML5 JavaScript APIs: canvas, messaging, drag and drop, workers and sockets, etc.
Learn about related JavaScript APIs including touch events, device orientation, and WebGL.

Who this book is for

The HTML5 Programmer's Reference is for people who are working with modern web technologies who need to come up to speed fast and have answers handy for their common use cases. With HTML5 Programmer's Reference at their elbows, programmers can quickly learn and master these new technologies, and maybe even surprise themselves with what they can do with them. The book dives directly into the new technologies without wasting time on formalities, so it is an ideal choice for developers who already have a basic understanding of web technologies and how to work with them.
