SQL Antipatterns: Avoiding the Pitfalls of Database Programming (Pragmatic Programmers)

Uncover surprises, risks, and potentially serious bugs with exploratory testing. Rather than designing all tests in advance, explorers design and execute small, rapid experiments, using what they learned from the last little experiment to inform the next. Learn essential skills of a master explorer, including how to analyze software to discover key points of vulnerability, how to design experiment...

The NIST estimates that poor testing costs the US economy $60 billion annually. This book gives teams straightforward and proven ways to introduce unit testing into their process, resulting in higher quality and fewer bugs. All over the world, software teams are using unit testing both to verify their code and as a way of helping them design better code. This book is unique in the way it covers...

Stop dreading concurrency hassles and start reaping the pure power of modern multicore hardware. Learn how to avoid shared mutable state and how to write safe, elegant, explicit synchronization-free programs in Java or other JVM languages including Clojure, JRuby, Groovy, or Scala.

Your software needs to leverage multiple cores, handle thousands of users and terabytes of data, and continue working in the face of both hardware and software failure. Concurrency and parallelism are the keys, and Seven Concurrency Models in Seven Weeks equips you for this new world. See how emerging technologies such as actors and functional programming address issues with traditional threads an...

С появлением микропроцессоров, обладающих большим числом ядер, понимание конкуренции и параллелизма при разработке программного обеспечения стало еще более важным, чем прежде. В книге вы познакомитесь с преимуществами функционального программирования с точки зрения конкуренции, узнаете, как применять акторы для разработки распределенного программного обеспечения, и исследуете приемы параллельной о...
