Book Description
In today’s fast and competitive world, a program’s performance is just as important to customers as the features it provides. This practical guide teaches developers performance-tuning principles that enable optimization in C++. You’ll learn how to make code that already embodies best practices of C++ design run faster and consume fewer resources on any computer—whether it’s a watch, phone, workstation, supercomputer, or globe-spanning network of servers. Author Kurt Guntheroth provides several running examples that demonstrate how to apply these principles incrementally to improve existing code so it meets customer requirements for responsiveness and throughput. The advice in this book will prove itself the first time you hear a colleague exclaim, “Wow, that was fast. Who fixed something?” Locate performance hot spots using the profiler and software timers Learn to perform repeatable experiments to measure performance of code changes Optimize use of dynamically allocated variables Improve performance of hot loops and functions Speed up string handling functions Recognize efficient algorithms and optimization patterns Learn the strengths—and weaknesses—of C++ container classes View searching and sorting through an optimizer’s eye Make efficient use of C++ streaming I/O functions Use C++ thread-based concurrency features effectively

Book Description
Hailed as a "must-have textbook" (CHOICE, January 2010), the first edition of Game Engine Architecture provided readers with a complete guide to the theory and practice of game engine software development. Updating the content to match today’s landscape of game engine architecture, this second edition continues to thoroughly cover the major components that make up a typical commercial game engine. New to the Second Edition Information on new topics, including the latest variant of the C++ programming language, C++11, and the architecture of the eighth generation of gaming consoles, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 New chapter on audio technology covering the fundamentals of the physics, mathematics, and technology that go into creating an AAA game audio engine Updated sections on multicore programming, pipelined CPU architecture and optimization, localization, pseudovectors and Grassman algebra, dual quaternions, SIMD vector math, memory alignment, and anti-aliasing Insight into the making of Naughty Dog’s latest hit, The Last of Us The book presents the theory underlying various subsystems that comprise a commercial game engine as well as the data structures, algorithms, and software interfaces that are typically used to implement them. It primarily focuses on the engine itself, including a host of low-level foundation systems, the rendering engine, the collision system, the physics simulation, character animation, and audio. An in-depth discussion on the "gameplay foundation layer" delves into the game’s object model, world editor, event system, and scripting system. The text also touches on some aspects of gameplay programming, including player mechanics, cameras, and AI. An awareness-building tool and a jumping-off point for further learning, Game Engine Architecture, Second Edition gives readers a solid understanding of both the theory and common practices employed within each of the engineering disciplines covered. The book will help readers on their journey through this fascinating and multifaceted field.

Book Description
The biggest challenge facing many game programmers is completing their game. Most game projects fizzle out, overwhelmed by the complexity of their own code. Game Programming Patterns tackles that exact problem. Based on years of experience in shipped AAA titles, this book collects proven patterns to untangle and optimize your game, organized as independent recipes so you can pick just the patterns you need. You will learn how to write a robust game loop, how to organize your entities using components, and take advantage of the CPUs cache to improve your performance. You'll dive deep into how scripting engines encode behavior, how quadtrees and other spatial partitions optimize your engine, and how other classic design patterns can be used in games.

Book Description
"How to Get a Job in Web Development" is designed for junior web developers. Whether you’re coming from a coding bootcamp, are completely self-taught, or graduated from college with a tech-related degree, this book is for you. Written by RealToughCandy. In this book, you will learn how to: • Expertly craft the ‘holy clover’ of application materials: your resume, cover letter, GitHub page, and portfolio. • Leverage the power of LinkedIn, Meetups, and social media. • Handle follow-up emails and phone calls. • Prepare for the multiple types of interviews you will encounter, whether via phone, video conference, or in person. • Strategically apply to jobs so you can maximize your salary demands during negotiation. • Efficiently organize and prioritize the jobs you’ve applied to. • Craft results-driven email check-ins with your potential employer. • Reduce your vulnerabilities for discrimination. • And much, much more! No awkward whiteboard interviews. No hour-long explanation of Big O notation. Just practical, actionable steps that will put you far ahead of the pack when it comes to getting a job in web development. Now let's go get that job! "Just finished reading your book and all I can say is WOW! Mind you since May of 2016 I have taken about 6 online courses specifically looking for employment and around three of them were specifically for either how to get an IT or Web Developer job. These courses cannot hold a candle to the majority of the information you put in this book!" -George M., Web Developer WHY I WROTE THIS BOOK: When I started my web development journey, I was a lost hiker in the digital woods. I knew I wanted to build web apps, but didn’t know what those people called themselves. Were they website builders? Programmers? The term ‘software engineer’ floated around a lot online – was that my aspiration? Since I didn’t know exactly what I was looking for, I spent a lot of time reading and watching materials that were nothing but discouraging: mock Google coding interviews with whiteboards and markers. Lots of articles and videos that name-dropped things like binary trees, Big O notation, and time complexity. Forum post upon forum post that gave away actual coding interview questions from the biggest tech companies in the world like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft. Making things worse, some web developers I had discovered on YouTube were talking about a really good, popular book for coding interviews. I checked it out and once again my stomach sank. “I’m never going to make it in this field,” I said to myself. “I’ve been studying and practicing and building projects for months, and I still have no idea what these people are talking about.” What they didn’t tell me was that the book is geared towards senior software engineers trying to get a job with Amazon and Google. I wanted to quit my coding journey. In fact, I did quit. The difference was, I didn’t stay quit. Something told me to keep pushing forward, keep building projects to put in my portfolio and Github, keep reaching out and trying to find clients who needed websites. I kept pushing until I got a job as a fullstack web developer at a data company. As it turns out, the internet isn’t very generous to our career field. Beginners are especially marginalized. There aren’t any quality one-stop resources for discovering one of the most important questions – if not the most important question – web developers have. “How do I get a job in this field?” I wanted to change the junior web developer tech landscape with this book. My goal is for every junior developer who reads this to find a job. And if you take the recommended actions in this book, you can do it.

My boss wants me to ______. -- Surviving executive design whims "I thought usability was the enemy of design until I read the first edition of this book. Don't Make Me Think! showed me how to put myself in the position of the person who uses my site. After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book. In this second edition, Steve Krug adds essential ammunition for those whose bosses, clients, stakeholders, and marketing managers insist on doing the wrong thing. If you design, write, program, own, or manage Web sites, you must read this book." -- Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards
