From the Preface
How does this book differ from other material on computer efficiency? Four features stand out:
- It concentrates on tasks that programs perform regularly, such as reading data, and sorting data, and summarizing data.
- It rates the savings so you can select the more important material to learn first.
- It demonstrates how to write test programs that you can run in your own environment.
- It covers programming techniques and strategies, not just syntax.
