Provides all the tools needed to write C++ database programs and explore the full potential of the C++ object-oriented language, including database fundamentals and design, database management, building the software, and more. Original. (Advanced).

Today's database professionals must understand how to apply database systems to business processes and how to develop database systems for both business intelligence and Web-based applications. Database Development and Management explains all aspects of database design, access, implementation, application development, and management, as well

Since its release in February 1995, Delphi has established itself as both a formidable and popular tool in the Windows development arena. Dozens of books have been written about Delphi. However, none of these contains the comprehensive and complete information found in Delphi Database Development. This book is the result of painstaking research into the inner workings of Delphi's extensive database architecture. It is the only book specifically devoted to providing the complete reference materials required by all Delphi database applications developers. Use of the Borland Database Engine API functions is fully documented, along with some functions and features that have never been documented anywhere before. Clear, understandable Delphi examples are included for each item, with instructions on how to take advantage of Delphi's enormous power. Xbase programmers migrating to Delphi will benefit from the numerous references.

For programmers who prefer content to frills, this guide has succinct and straightforward information for putting Access to its full, individually tailored use.

You Will Learn C! Zed Shaw has crafted the perfect course for the beginning C programmer eager to advance their skills in any language. Follow it and you will learn the many skills early and junior programmers need to succeed–just like the hundreds of thousands of programmers Zed has taught to date! You bring discipline, commitment, persistence, and experience with any programming language; the author supplies everything else. In Learn C the Hard Way, you’ll learn C by working through 52 brilliantly crafted exercises. Watch Zed Shaw’s teaching video and read the exercise. Type his code precisely. (No copying and pasting!) Fix your mistakes. Watch the programs run. As you do, you’ll learn what good, modern C programs look like; how to think more effectively about code; and how to find and fix mistakes far more efficiently. Most importantly, you’ll master rigorous defensive programming techniques, so you can use any language to create software that protects itself from malicious activity and defects. Through practical projects you’ll apply what you learn to build confidence in your new skills. Shaw teaches the key skills you need to start writing excellent C software, including Setting up a C environment Basic syntax and idioms Compilation, make files, and linkers Operators, variables, and data types Program control Arrays and strings Functions, pointers, and structs Memory allocation I/O and files Libraries Data structures, including linked lists, sort, and search Stacks and queues Debugging, defensive coding, and automated testing Fixing stack overflows, illegal memory access, and more Breaking and hacking your own C code It’ll Be Hard at First. But Soon, You’ll Just Get It–And That Will Feel Great! This tutorial will reward you for every minute you put into it. Soon, you’ll know one of the world’s most powerful programming languages. You’ll be a C programmer.
