The Elements of Programming Style

P.J. Plauger's monthly column "Programming on Purpose" has been entertaining and educating readers of Computer Language magazine for years. Now he presents a guided tour of numerous software design methods--from structured analysis and data structured design, to the myth of the "bottom-up-is-foolish" myth.

How to build software tools using structured programming. Written using RATFOR (Rational FORTRAN); could be translated into other languages.

Software Tools

Jim Brodie

The focus is on what is true of C across all implementations that conform to the international C Standard. This text includes the extensive support for manipulating large character sets added with Amendment One to that standard. And it incorporates refinements and clarifications developed in response to formal Defect Reports against the international C Standard.

A Reference

Standard C

Defines the template classes and functions of the standard template library (STL) component of the C++ programming language. A chapter is devoted to each of the 13 headers, providing a functional description of the header contents, suggestions for how best to use the facilities defined in the header, and the C++ code itself. Additional chapters introduce STL as a whole and discuss three overarching topics--iterators, algorithms, and containers. c. Book News Inc.

The C++ Standard Template Library

For programmers familiar with the C and C++ programming. This book presents the library portion of the draft ANSI/ISO Standard for the programming language C++, and shows how to use all the library classes and functions. An introductory chapter discusses how the Standard C library changes to meet the needs of C++.

The Draft Standard C++ Library

This work offers a comprehensive treatment of ANSI and ISO standards for the C library. The code in the book is compatible with C compilers from Borland, Saber, Sun UNIX and VAX UNIX.
