Pragmatyczny programista. Od czeladnika do mistrza. Wydanie II

David Thomas, Andrew Hunt

Wydanie jubileuszowe z okazji 20. rocznicy pierwszej edycji Programiści dysponują coraz lepszym, szybszym i wszechstronniejszym sprzętem. Pojawiają się nowe języki programowania i nowe paradygmaty tworzenia architektury oprogramowania. Są jednak rzeczy, które w świecie programowania pozostają stałe i niezmienne. Wciąż proces stawania się programistą wymaga od adeptów tego rzemiosła sporego wysiłku. Akt kodowania to za mało. Trzeba zmienić sposób myślenia, nawyki, zachowania i oczekiwania. Konieczne jest świadome dążenie do stosowania dobrych praktyk. Jeśli pilnuje się jakości swojej pracy i nieustannie pamięta, co i po co się robi, można w końcu stać się pragmatycznym programistą. W drugim wydaniu tego kultowego przewodnika wskazówki techniczne harmonijnie łączą się z aspektami filozofii pragmatycznego programisty. Książka została zaktualizowana i gruntownie przejrzana, aby teraz, dwadzieścia lat po pierwszym wydaniu, ponownie pokazać, co to znaczy być nowoczesnym, pragmatycznym programistą. Poruszono tu tematy osobistej odpowiedzialności i rozwoju zawodowego, komunikacji i poznawania prawdziwych wymagań, nowoczesnych technik architektonicznych oraz coraz ważniejszych kwestii zachowania bezpieczeństwa i prywatności. Książka składa się z krótkich rozdziałów, które tworzą szeroki kontekst, dzięki czemu zyskasz wiedzę o najlepszych podejściach, unikniesz głównych pułapek, a co najważniejsze - rozwiniesz nawyki i postawy, które staną się fundamentem Twojego sukcesu zawodowego. Dowiedz się, jak: pisać kod dynamiczny, elastyczny i łatwy do dostosowywania unikać pułapek związanych z powielaniem wiedzy chronić oprogramowanie przed lukami w zabezpieczeniach budować zespoły pragmatycznych programistów skutecznie testować wziąć odpowiedzialność za swoją pracę i karierę Obaj autorzy uczestniczyli w tworzeniu oryginalnego Manifestu Agile i założeniu Agile Alliance. Współtworzyli też serię książek The Pragmatic Bookshelf. Dbaj o swoje rzemiosło i myśl o tym, co robisz!

Procedural Content Generation for C++ Game Development. Get to know techniques and approaches to procedurally generate game content in C++ using Simple and Fast Multimedia Library

Dale Green

Procedural generation is a growing trend in game development. It allows developers to create games that are bigger and more dynamic, giving the games a higher level of replayability. Procedural generation isn’t just one technique, it’s a collection of techniques and approaches that are used together to create dynamic systems and objects. C++ is the industry-standard programming language to write computer games. It’s at the heart of most engines, and is incredibly powerful. SFML is an easy-to-use, cross-platform, and open-source multimedia library. Access to computer hardware is broken into succinct modules, making it a great choice if you want to develop cross-platform games with ease.Using C++ and SFML technologies, this book will guide you through the techniques and approaches used to generate content procedurally within game development. Throughout the course of this book, we’ll look at examples of these technologies, starting with setting up a roguelike project using the C++ template. We’ll then move on to using RNG with C++ data types and randomly scattering objects within a game map. We will create simple console examples to implement in a real game by creating unique and randomised game items, dynamic sprites, and effects, and procedurally generating game events. Then we will walk you through generating random game maps. At the end, we will have a retrospective look at the project. By the end of the book, not only will you have a solid understanding of procedural generation, but you’ll also have a working roguelike game that you will have extended using the examples provided.
