Write Great Code, Volume 1 - Thryft

Master the machine, write efficient code.

Write Great Code, Volume 1 can be a good read for programmers who are interested in understanding machine organization and want to write better high-level language code. This book doesn't need any prior knowledge of assembly language programming, instead, it concentrates on the machine organization which is language-independent. The most unique feature of this book is that it helps programmers make wiser choices with respect to programming statements and data types when writing software, which can benefit programmers in any language they use.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

If you've asked someone the secret to writing efficient, well-written software, the answer that you've probably gotten is "learn assembly language programming." By learning assembly language programming, you learn how the machine really operates and that knowledge will help you write better high-level language code. A dirty little secret assembly language programmers rarely admit to, however, is that what you really need to learn is machine organization, not assembly language programming. Write Great Code Vol I, the first in a series from assembly language expert Randall Hyde, dives right into machine organization without the extra overhead of learning assembly language programming at the same time. And since Write Great Code Vol I concentrates on the machine organization, not assembly language, the reader will learn in greater depth those subjects that are language-independent and of concern to a high level language programmer. Write Great Code Vol I will help programmers make wiser choices with respect to programming statements and data types when writing software, no matter which language they use.
