In this book Amar Mahmutbegovic shows how to harness zero-cost abstractions, compile-time checks, and powerful modern C++ capabilities to preserve performance while achieving safer, cleaner code. This book bridges the gap between traditional C and advanced C++. The book covers essential C++ concepts before exploring advanced topics such as templates, strong typing, error handling, compile-time computation, and RAII. Through practical examples, readers implement a sequencer, write a type-safe HAL, and apply patterns like Command, State, and Observer to solve common embedded development problems.

In this book Daniel Temkin challenges conventional definitions of language, code, and computer, showing the potential of esolangs—or esoteric programming languages—as pure idea art. The languages in this volume ask programmers to write code in the form of prayer to the Greek gods, or as a pattern of empty folders, or to type code in tandem with another programmer, each with one hand on the keyboard, their rhythm and synchrony signifying computer action.

In this book Ole Olesen-Bagneux of Actian shows how to masterfully manage metadata repositories by properly coordinating them, arguing that until now, most repositories have been implemented in isolation from one another, but that practice lies at the core of problems with data management in many companies today. Better management requires a data discovery team to increase insights for all key players in enterprise data management, from the CIO and CDO to enterprise and data architects. Coordinating these repositories will help you and your organization democratize data and excel at data management.

This book looks at how America designed and built the fastest chips and maintained its lead as the #1 superpower. Now, America's edge is slipping, undermined by competitors in Taiwan, Korea, Europe, and, above all, China. Today, as Chris Miller reveals, China, which spends more money each year importing chips than it spends importing oil, is pouring billions into a chip-building initiative to catch up to the US. At stake is America's military superiority and economic prosperity.
