Volume I teaches important concepts of machine organization in a language-independent fashion. Volume II teaches ways to write high-level language code to help the compiler produce high-quality machine code. By Randall Hyde, author of "The Art Of Assembly Language".



It's a critical lesson that today's computer science students aren't always being taught: How to carefully choose their high-level language statements to produce efficient code. Write Great Code, Volume 2: Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level shows software engineers what too many college and university courses don't - how compilers translate high-level language statements and data structures into machine code. Armed with this knowledge, they will make informed choices concerning the use of those high-level structures and help the compiler produce far better machine code - all without having to give up the productivity and portability benefits of using a high-level language.

In 2001, ExtraLife originally began as a web comic based on all topics in the realm of geekdom, everything from video games, technology, to movies...The humor comes primarily from jokes on computer games and/or internet slang. It is drawn in a post-modern surreal style by hand and colored in Photoshop...

Excerpts from this book have been posted at AvaxHome previously but this is the FULL version.

Twelve-year-old Artemis Fowl is the most ingenious criminal mastermind in history. With two trusty sidekicks in tow, he hatches a cunning plot to divest the fairyfolk of their pot of gold. Of course, he isn't foolish enough to believe in all that "gold at the end of the rainbow" nonsense. Rather, he knows that the only way to separate the little people from their stash is to kidnap one of them and wait for the ransom to arrive. But when the time comes to put his plan into action, he doesn't count on the appearance of the extrasmall, pointy-eared Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon (Lower Elements Police Reconnaisance) Unit – and her senior officer, Commander Root, a man (sorry, elf) who will stop at nothing to get her back.
