Web Development & Design

Manning

Optimize the decisions that define your code by exploring the common mistakes and intentional tradeoffs made by expert developers.\nIn Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs you will learn how to:\nReason about your systems to make intuitive and better design decisions 
Understand consequences and how to balance tradeoffs 
Pick the right library for your problem 
Thoroughly analyze all of your service’s dependencies 
Understand delivery semantics and how they influence distributed architecture 
Design and execute performance tests to detect code hot paths and validate a system’s SLA 
Detect and optimize hot paths in your code to focus optimization efforts on root causes 
Decide on a suitable data model for date/time handling to avoid common (but subtle) mistakes 
Reason about compatibility and versioning to prevent unexpected problems for API clients 
Understand tight/loose coupling and how it influences coordination of work between teams 
Clarify requirements until they are precise, easily implemented, and easily tested 
Optimize your APIs for friendly user experience\nCode performance versus simplicity. Delivery speed versus duplication. Flexibility versus maintainability—every decision you make in software engineering involves balancing tradeoffs. In Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs you’ll learn from costly mistakes that Tomasz Lelek and Jon Skeet have encountered over their impressive careers. You’ll explore real-world scenarios where poor understanding of tradeoffs lead to major problems down the road, so you can pre-empt your own mistakes with a more thoughtful approach to decision making.\nLearn how code duplication impacts the coupling and evolution speed of your systems, and how simple-sounding requirements can have hidden nuances with respect to date and time information. Discover how to efficiently narrow your optimization scope according to 80/20 Pareto principles, and ensure consistency in your distributed systems. You’ll soon have built up the kind of knowledge base that only comes from years of experience.\nPurchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.\nAbout the technology

Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs: How to make good programming decisions

Lelek, Tomasz

Computer Science

C# in Depth is a completely new book designed to propel existing C# developers to a higher level of programming skill. One simple principle drives this book: explore a few things deeply rather than offer a shallow view of the whole C# landscape. If you often find yourself wanting just a little more at the end of a typical chapter, this is the book for you. Expert author Jon Skeet dives into the C# language, plumbing new C# 2 and 3 features and probing the core C# language concepts that drive them. This unique book puts the new features into context of how C# has evolved without a lengthy rehearsal of the full C# language. C# in Depth briefly examines the history of C# and the .NET framework and reviews a few often-misunderstood C# 1 concepts that are very important as the foundation for fully exploiting C# 2 and 3. Because the book addresses C# 1 with a light touch, existing C# developers don't need to pick through the book in order to find new mater
