Building Custom Software Tools and Libraries

Fülszöveg

BUILDING CUSTOM SOFTWARE TOOLS AND LIBRARIES Creating test data, automating processes, reformatting files, and modeling scenarios are just a few of the many situations requíring onthe-spot Utilities needed to keep a project going. For programmers on any platform, the occasions for custom tool building are endless. Written for intermediate and advanced programmers, this valuable guide addresses the nuts-and-bolts issues involved in the design and implementation of custom tools. You'll find out everything you need to know to write effective and efficient software Utilities. • Focuses on how to design and build the supporting logic of fast, powerful software tools • Shows readers how to build up versatile libraries of common function-saving countless hours of rewriting code to solve similar problems • Offers practical examples in both C and pseudocode action charts readily implemented in any language • Covers different forms the tools cantake, user interfaces, system interfaces, and...
