In this follow-up to the best-selling Beginning Linux Programming, you

will learn from the authors' real-world knowledge and experience of

developing software for Linux; you'll be taken through the development

of a sample 'DVD Store' application, with 'theme' chapters addressing

different aspects of its implementation. Meanwhile, individual

'take-a-break' chapters cover important topics that go beyond the

bounds of the central theme. All focus on the practical aspects of

programming, showing how crucial it is to choose the right tools for

the job, use them as they should be used, and get things right first

time.

PHP3 and MySQL Web Development introduces you to the advantages of

implementing both MySQL and PHP3. These advantages are detailed

through the provision of both statistics and several case studies. A

practical web application is developed throughout the book, providing

you with the tools necessary to implement a functional online

database. Each function is developed separately, allowing you the

choice to incorporate only those parts that you would like to

implement. Programming concepts of the PHP3 language are highlighted,

including functions which tie MySQL support into a PHP3 script and

advanced topics regarding table manipulation.

C++ For Real Programmers bridges the gap between C++ as described in

beginner and intermediate-level books and C++ as it is practiced by

experts. Numerous valuable techniques are described, organized into

three simple themes: indirection, class hierarchies, and memory

management. It also provides indepth coverage of template creation,

exception handling, pointers and optimization techniques. The focus of

the book is on ANSI C++ and so is compiler independent. C++ For Real

Programmers is a revision of Secrets of the C++ Masters and includes a

new appendix comparing C++ with Java. The book comes with a 3.5" disk

for Windows with source code.
