Books in the Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series series

Presents a catalog of simple solutions to commonly occurring design problems. These 23 patterns allow designers to create more reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves. The authors begin by describing what patterns are, and how they can help you design object-oriented software.

Organized around 55 specific guidelines, each of which describes a way to write better C++, this book reflects on modern design considerations, including exceptions, design patterns, and multithreading. It also provides guidance on the design of effective classes, functions, templates, and inheritance hierarchies.

Shows how to create reusable APIs using interface-based design, a language-independent methodology that separates interfaces from their implementations. This book describes in detail 24 interfaces and their implementations, providing the reader with an understanding of this design approach.

Mathematical techniques pervade current research in computer networking, yet are not taught to most computer science undergraduates. This self-contained, highly-accessible book bridges the gap, providing the mathematical grounding students and professionals need to successfully design or evaluate networking systems. The only book of its kind, it brings together information previously scattered amongst multiple texts. It first provides crucial background in basic mathematical tools, and then illuminates the specific theories that underlie computer networking. Coverage includes: * Basic probability * Statistics * Linear Algebra * Optimization * Signals, Systems, and Transforms, including Fourier series and transforms, Laplace transforms, DFT, FFT, and Z transforms * Queuing theory * Game Theory * Control theory * Information theory

The book will quickly get students started using Go effectively from the beginning, and by the end, they will know how to use it well to write clear, idiomatic and efficient programs to solve real-world problems. They'll understand not just how to use its standard libraries, but how they work, and how to apply the same design techniques to their own projects.

BPF and related observability tools give software professionals and students alike unprecedented visibility into software, helping them analyze operating system and application performance, troubleshoot code, and strengthen security. BPF Performance Tools: Linux System and Application Observability is the industry's most comprehensive guide to using these tools for observability. Brendan Gregg, author of the industry's definitive guide to system performance, introduces powerful new methods and tools for doing analysis that leads to more robust, reliable, and safer code. This authoritative guide: Explores a wide spectrum of software and hardware targets Thoroughly covers open source BPF tools from the Linux Foundation iovisor project's bcc and bpftrace repositories Summarizes performance engineering and kernel internals you need to understand Provides and discusses 150+ bpftrace tools, including 80 written specifically for this book: tools you can run as-is, without programming - or customize and develop further, using diverse interfaces and the bpftrace front-endStudents will learn how to use BPF (eBPF) tracing tools to analyze CPUs, memory, disks, file systems, networking, languages, applications, containers, hypervisors, security, and the Linux kernel. Students will move from basic to advanced tools and techniques, producing new metrics, stack traces, custom latency histograms, and more. It's like having a superpower: with Gregg's guidance and tools, students can analyze virtually everything that impacts system performance, so they can improve virtually any Linux operating system or application.
