The Definitive Guide to GCC is a comprehensive tutorial and guide to using the newest version of GCC, the “Gnue Compiler Collection.” GCC is quite simply the most used and most powerful tool for programmers on the planet. It goes beyond just command line invocations and teaches you how to use GCC to improve the quality of your code (with debugging, code profiling, and test code coverage) and how to integrate other GNU development tools, such as libtool, automake, and autoconf, into your GCC-based development projects.
The Definitive Guide to GCC Book teaches you how to build, install, customize, use, and troubleshoot GCC 3.2, the GNU Compiler Collection version 3.2. GCC has long been available for most major hardware and operating system platforms and is often the preferred compiler for those platforms. As a general purpose compiler, GCC produces higher quality, faster performing executable code with fewer bugs than equivalent offerings supplied by hardware and software vendors. GCC, along with GNU Emacs, the Linux operating system, the Apache Web server, the Sendmail mail server, and the BIND DNS server, is one of the showpieces of the free software world and proof that sometimes you can get a free lunch.

Written for the intermediate to advanced Windows programmer, David Sceppa's Programming ADO offers an expert's view of developing with this powerful--and occasionally tricky--database library. Filled with tips and suggested best practices for building robust database programs, this title provides a useful real-world perspective to effective coding with ADO.
This book is part reference, offering full coverage of all objects in ADO, and part programming tutorial, describing every object, property, collection, method, and event in this library, including ADOX and JRO in an appendix. Instead of whole programs, the author uses short code excerpts written in Visual Basic to illustrate key points. Complete sample applications are available on the accompanying CD-ROM.
Throughout this text, Sceppa shows off his expert knowledge of ADO. Standout sections here include examples of connecting to databases effectively, different strategies for querying and updating databases, and a nice explanation of disconnected recordsets. The discussion of the various cursor types available in ADO is also a must-read for any serious ADO developer. (Choosing the right cursor type for your project, it turns out, is not as easy as it appears.) Each section ends with "Questions That Should Be Asked More Frequently" in which the author invites you to think carefully about the ways you use ADO.
Later sections here turn to the powerful ADO Cursor Engine and the newer Record and Stream classes, which allow programmers to "persist" recordsets to files (and even XML). There are plenty of tips for handling record conflicts within real-world, multi-user databases. Once again, although ADO looks easy, there is plenty to worry about when multiple users access records frequently. This book shows you how to write more robust database applications.
Filled with time-saving programming expertise, Programming ADO fills a valuable niche for any developer who wants to start working with ADO effectively.

Beginning with a basic primer on reverse engineering-including computer internals, operating systems, and assembly language-and then discussing the various applications of reverse engineering, this book provides readers with practical, in-depth techniques for software reverse engineering. The book is broken into two parts, the first deals with security-related reverse engineering and the second explores the more practical aspects of reverse engineering. In addition, the author explains how to reverse engineer a third-party software library to improve interfacing and how to reverse engineer a competitor's software to build a better product.
* The first popular book to show how software reverse engineering can help defend against security threats, speed up development, and unlock the secrets of competitive products
* Helps developers plug security holes by demonstrating how hackers exploit reverse engineering techniques to crack copy-protection schemes and identify software targets for viruses and other malware
* Offers a primer on advanced reverse-engineering, delving into "disassembly"-code-level reverse engineering-and explaining how to decipher assembly language
