<html><body><h2>50 exercises to help you find bugs faster -- with less aggravation!</h2>
Bug hunting is an art, and you need to be a master. Get Find the Bug, and you'll become one. Long-time Microsoft programmer Adam Barr presents 50 programs, each with exactly one bug. Your assignment: find it. As you do, Barr will teach you how to \"think like your processor\"... anticipating exactly how code will behave, even without running it. You'll learn better ways to read code, understand it -- and above all, improve it. Whether you're building new systems or maintaining someone else's, you'll find bugs earlier, faster, with less frustration... and write cleaner code to begin with.
- Presents \"bugged\" programs in C, Java, Python, Perl, and x86 assembly language, with carefully explained solutions
- Includes language overviews to help you debug all 50 examples, even if you don't know the language
- Shows how to look past the \"surface\" of code to uncover its hidden internal logic
- Offers practical guidance on analyzing programs, including specific inputs to test
- Presents a wide range of realistic bugs, with no phony \"gotchas\"
- Draws on the types of coding and debugging challenges Microsoft uses to interview new programmers
- An indispensable resource for working programmers, maintainers, testers, quality specialists, and everyone involved in code reviews

Is your organization maximizing the return on its investments of money, time, and personnel? Probably not, because most software professionals don't know how to consider the business aspects of their software decisions. Most don't even know that it's important to do so. Business consequences should play a critical role in all software technical choices - from choosing which projects to do, selecting software development processes, choosing algorithms and data structures, all the way to determining how much testing is enough.
Return on Software: Maximizing the Return on Your Software Investment is about making choices: software technical choices in a business context. It helps software professionals appreciate the business consequences of the decisions they make. This primer will prove a valuable reference for making the important decisions the typical software organization faces both today and down the road. Inside, you'll learn how to:
Estimate how much each proposed software technical decision will cost, and how much it will return.
Weigh the time frames for a software decision's costs and benefits against each other to reveal when there might be a more important factor than schedule.
- Attach a value to quality and produce a rational answer to the question, \"How much testing is enough?\"
Account for risk and uncertainty in software technical decisions, such as when considering a new technology.
Communicate your decisions in a way that speaks to the all-important bottom line.
Each chapter contains a set of self-study questions designed to help you apply the featured concepts and techniques. An enhanced online index allows you to quickly and easily search the entire text for specific topics.

Product Description:
Is your organization maximizing the return on its investments of money, time, and manpower? Probably not, as most do not understand the implications their technical decisions have for these precious, limited resources. However, in order for software engineering to become a true engineering discipline, software professionals need to consider and understand the economics of their choices.
Return on Your Software: Maximizing the Return on Your Software Investment helps software practitioners appreciate the organizational ramifications of the decisions they make. Each chapter contains a series of self-study questions designed to help readers apply the featured techniques. Meanwhile, an enhanced online index allows readers to quickly and easily search the entire text for specific topics.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
Determine how much each possible software solution will cost.
Analyze how much -- or even if -- a software solution will generate income or reduce operating expenses.
Weigh the time frames for a software solution's costs and benefits against each other to reveal when schedule isn't king.
Attach a dollar amount to quality and thereby testing.
Make technical decisions while surrounded by risk and uncertainty, such as when considering a new technology.
Communicate your decisions in a way that speaks to the all-important bottom line.
Economics should play a critical role in all software choices -- from testing and development process to algorithms and data structures. As such, this primer on the engineering economy will prove a valuable reference for daunting development decisions both today and down the road.

Learning GNU Emacs, 3rd Edition tells readers how to get started with the GNU Emacs editor. It is a thorough guide that will also \"grow\" with you: as you become more proficient, this book will help you learn how to use Emacs more effectively. It takes you from basic Emacs usage (simple text editing) to moderately complicated customization and programming. The third edition of Learning GNU Emacs describes Emacs 21.3 from the ground up, including new user interface features such as an icon-based toolbar and an interactive interface to Emacs customization. A new chapter details how to install and run Emacs on Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux, including tips for using Emacs effectively on those platforms. Learning GNU Emacs, third edition, covers: - How to edit files with Emacs
- Using the operating system shell through Emacs
- How to use multiple buffers, windows, and frames
- Customizing Emacs interactively and through startup files
- Writing macros to circumvent repetitious tasks
- Emacs as a programming environment for Java, C++, and Perl, among others
- Using Emacs as an integrated development environment (IDE)
- Integrating Emacs with CVS, Subversion and other change control systems for projects with multiple developers

Summary:
This unique and valuable collection of tips, tools, and scripts provides clear, concise, hands-on solutions that can be applied to the challenges facing anyone running a network of Linux servers from small networks to large data centers in the practical and popular problem-solution-discussion O'Reilly cookbook format. The Linux Cookbook covers everything you'd expect: backups, new users, and the like. But it also covers the non-obvious information that is often ignored in other books the time-sinks and headaches that are a real part of an administrator's job, such as: dealing with odd kinds of devices that Linux historically hasn't supported well, building multi-boot systems, and handling things like video and audio. The knowledge needed to install, deploy, and maintain Linux is not easily found, and no Linux distribution gets it just right. Scattered information can be found in a pile of man pages, texinfo files, and source code comments, but the best source of information is the experts themselves who built up a working knowledge of managing Linux systems. This cookbook's proven techniques distill years of hard-won experience into practical cut-and-paste solutions to everyday Linux dilemmas. Use just one recipe from this varied collection of real-world solutions, and the hours of tedious trial-and-error saved will more than pay for the cost of the book. But those who prefer to learn hands-on will find that this cookbook not only solves immediate problems quickly, it also cuts right to the chase pointing out potential pitfalls and illustrating tested practices that can be applied to a myriad of other situations. Whether you're responsible for a small Linux system, a huge corporate system, or a mixed Linux/Windows/MacOS network, you'll find valuable, to-the-point, practical recipes for dealing with Linux systems everyday. The Linux Cookbook is more than a time-saver; it's a sanity saver.
