beautiful code 编程
Chapter 1, A Regular Expression Matcher, by Brian Kernighan, shows how deep insight into a language and a problem can lead to a concise and elegant solution. Chapter 2, Subversion’s Delta Editor: Interface As Ontology, by Karl Fogel, starts with a wellchosen abstraction and demonstrates its unifying effects on the system’s further development. Chapter 3, The Most Beautiful Code I Never Wrote, by Jon Bentley, suggests how to measure a procedure without actually executing it. Chapter 4, Finding Things, by Tim Bray, draws together many strands in Computer Science in an exploration of a problem that is fundamental to many computing tasks. Chapter 5, Correct, Beautiful, Fast (in That Order): Lessons from Designing XML Verifiers, by Elliotte Rusty Harold, reconciles the often conflicting goals of thoroughness and good performance. Chapter 6, Framework for Integrated Test: Beauty Through Fragility, by Michael Feathers, presents an example that breaks the rules and achieves its own elegant solution. Chapter 7, Beautiful Tests, by Alberto Savoia, shows how a broad, creative approach to testing can not only eliminate bugs but turn you into a better programmer. Chapter 8, On-the-Fly Code Generation for Image Processing, by Charles Petzold, drops down a level to improve performance while maintaining portability. Chapter 9, Top Down Operator Precedence, by Douglas Crockford, revives an almost forgotten parsing technique and shows its new relevance to the popular JavaScript language. Chapter 10, The Quest for an Accelerated Population Count, by Henry S. Warren, Jr., reveals the impact that some clever algorithms can have on even a seemingly simple problem. Chapter 11, Secure Communication: The Technology Of Freedom, by Ashish Gulhati, discusses the directed evolution of a secure messaging application that was designed to make sophisticated but often confusing cryptographic technology intuitively accessible to users. Chapter 12, Growing Beautiful Code in BioPerl, by Lincoln Stein, shows how the combination of a flexible language and a custom-designed module can make it easy for people with modest programming skills to create powerful visualizations for their data. Chapter 14, How Elegant Code Evolves with Hardware: The Case of Gaussian Elimination, by Jack Dongarra and Piotr Luszczek, surveys the history of LINPACK and related major software packages to show how assumptions must constantly be re-evaluated in the face of new computing architectures. Chapter 15, The Long-Term Benefits of Beautiful Design, by Adam Kolawa, explains how attention to good design principles many decades ago helped CERN’s widely used mathematical library (the predecessor of LINPACK) stand the test of time.
