  Book Information

The second volume in the Write Great Code series supplies
the critical information that today's computer science
students don't often get from college and university
courses: How to carefully choose their high-level language
statements to produce efficient code. Write Great Code,
Volume 2: Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level, teaches
software engineers how compilers translate high-level
language statements and data structures into machine code.
Armed with this knowledge, a software engineer can make an
informed choice concerning the use of those high-level
structures to help the compiler produce far better machine
code--all without having to give up the productivity and
portability benefits of using a high-level language.
