程序设计实践 - The Practice of Programming
Authors: Brian W. Kernighan & Rob Pike Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Year: 1999
Overview
A concise guide to practical programming techniques, covering style, algorithms, design, debugging, testing, and performance. Written by two Unix pioneers, it emphasizes clarity, simplicity, and robust engineering.
Core Chapters
- Style - Naming, formatting, comments, consistency
- Algorithms - Searching, sorting, hashing, graphs
- Design - Modularity, interfaces, abstraction, information hiding
- Debugging - Systematic approaches, assertions, logging
- Testing - Unit tests, integration tests, test-driven development
- Performance - Profiling, optimization strategies, caching
- Portability - Cross-platform considerations, standards compliance
- Notation - Regular expressions, formal languages, parsing
Key Principles
- Keep It Simple - Simple code is correct code
- Make It Clear - Code is read more than written
- Test Early, Test Often - Automated testing as design tool
- Measure Before Optimizing - Profile to find real bottlenecks
- Design for Change - Anticipate evolution, avoid premature abstraction
Practical Value
Essential reference for working programmers. Bridges theory and practice with concrete C/Unix examples applicable to any language.
