Learn how to program in modern C, from the basics through the advanced topics required for proficiency. This book is the fastest path to C fluency for anyone experienced in a general-purpose programming language. From start to finish, code examples highlight the idioms and best practices behind efficient, robust programs in a variety of areas.The book opens with a thorough coverage of syntax, built-in data types and operations, and program structure. C has quirks and presents challenges, which are covered in detail. The coverage of advanced features is what sets this book apart from others. Among the advanced topics covered are floating-point representation in the IEEE 754 standard; embedded assembly language in C code for overflow detection; regular expressions, assertions, and internationalization; WebAssembly through C; and software libraries for C and other clients. Memory  efficiency and safety are the two major challenges in C programming, and you'll explore these challenges through a series of C examples. Arrays and structures, which are the means to high-level data representation, are covered in connection with pointers, which provide efficiency. The book again uses code examples in covering networking and wire-level security; concurrency (multiprocessing and multithreading); instruction-level parallelism; and interprocess communication through shared memory and files, pipes, message queues, and signals. Many books introduce C, but few also explain how to use it properly and optimally. Essential C does just that.What You'll LearnAccelerate your path to C mastery with this book for experienced programmersRefresh your approach to program structure and data typesDive into aggregates and pointers using modern C languageRevisit storage classes and scopeDive into concurrency (multiprocessing and multithreading) and instruction-level parallelismFinish with regular expressions, assertions, signals, locales and more Who This Book Is For Professional programmers or software developers who has prior experience with C or in general wanting an accelerated learning guide to modern C programming language.

Learn how to develop REST-style and SOAP-based web services and clients with this quick and thorough introduction. This hands-on book delivers a clear, pragmatic approach to web services by providing an architectural overview, complete working code examples, and short yet precise instructions for compiling, deploying, and executing them. Youll learn how to write services from scratch and integrate existing services into your Java applications.With greater emphasis on REST-style services, this second edition covers HttpServlet, Restlet, and JAX-RS APIs; jQuery clients against REST-style services; and JAX-WS for SOAP-based services. Code samples include an Apache Ant script that compiles, packages, and deploys web services.Learn differences and similarities between REST-style and SOAP-based servicesProgram and deliver RESTful web services, using Java APIs and implementationsExplore RESTful web service clients written in Java, JavaScript, and PerlWrite SOAP-based web services with an emphasis on the application levelExamine the handler and transport levels in SOAP-based messagingLearn wire-level security in HTTP(S), users/roles security, and WS-SecurityUse a Java Application Server (JAS) as an alternative to a standalone web server
