Build Your Own Programming Language. A programmer's guide to designing compilers, interpreters, and DSLs for solving modern computing problems

Clinton L. Jeffery

The need for different types of computer languages is growing rapidly and developers prefer creating domain-specific languages for solving specific application domain problems. Building your own programming language has its advantages. It can be your antidote to the ever-increasing size and complexity of software.In this book, you’ll start with implementing the frontend of a compiler for your language, including a lexical analyzer and parser. The book covers a series of traversals of syntax trees, culminating with code generation for a bytecode virtual machine. Moving ahead, you’ll learn how domain-specific language features are often best represented by operators and functions that are built into the language, rather than library functions. We’ll conclude with how to implement garbage collection, including reference counting and mark-and-sweep garbage collection. Throughout the book, Dr. Jeffery weaves in his experience of building the Unicon programming language to give better context to the concepts where relevant examples are provided in both Unicon and Java so that you can follow the code of your choice of either a very high-level language with advanced features, or a mainstream language.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy your own domain-specific languages, capable of compiling and running programs.

Ciągłe dostarczanie oprogramowania w języku Java. Najlepsze narzędzia i praktyki wdrażania kodu

Daniel Bryant, Abraham Marín-Pérez

W ciągu ostatnich lat radykalnie zmieniły się wymagania i oczekiwania biznesowe wobec oprogramowania. Kluczowymi wartościami są innowacyjność, szybkość i czas wejścia na rynek. Do spełnienia tych wymagań konieczne okazały się nowe architektury i modele tworzenia kodu. Metodyka ciągłego dostarczania, zwanego też CD, polega na tworzeniu w krótkich cyklach wartościowych i solidnych produktów. Funkcjonalności są dodawane w małych krokach, a oprogramowanie można wydawać niezawodnie w dowolnej chwili. To sprawia, że można też szybko otrzymywać informacje zwrotne. Jednak taki sposób pracy wymaga odpowiednich ram organizacyjnych, a zespół projektowy musi przyswoić nieco inny od tradycyjnego styl pracy. Ta książka jest praktycznym przewodnikiem, dzięki któremu programiści Javy opanują techniki potrzebne do pomyślnego zastosowania metody ciągłego dostarczania. Opisano tu najlepsze zasady budowy architektury oprogramowania, automatycznej kontroli jakości, pakowania aplikacji i wdrażania ich w różnych środowiskach produkcyjnych. Szczególną uwagę poświęcono testowaniu oprogramowania: przedstawiono całą gamę metodyk testowania, opisano ich zastosowanie i znaczenie w cyklu życia aplikacji. Ciekawym elementem książki są informacje o złych praktykach i antywzorcach wraz ze wskazówkami dotyczącymi rozwiązywania tego rodzaju problemów. W tej książce między innymi: solidne podstawy ciągłego dostarczania oprogramowania migracja do ciągłego dostarczania oprogramowania narzędzia: Jenkins, PMD i FindSecBugs zasady testowania funkcjonalności i jakości oprogramowania techniki obserwacji aplikacji w środowisku produkcyjnym Java i CD: tak zdobędziesz prawdziwą przewagę!
