Draw the words, and all will be revealed ... Believe in the image, and all will be Created ... Destroy the Creation, and all will be controlled ... Sarah and Este as two young prodigies, entered the mysterious and often-dangerous world of the Guild School, and the Protectors. Here, Sarah as a Major Creator and Este an emerging Protector; rekindled their lost childhood friendship. But not all is well in the world. A powerful enemy has had Este in his sights, and he will stop at nothing to lure her into the dark and dangerous world of the Destructors. With anything she could ever desire dangled within reach, is she willing to pay the price for this power? Can she even hope to resist it? When the Guild School comes under attack, suspicions slowly focus on Jeremy, a Protector charged with its defence. But, as the legend predicted, darker forces have tainted the purest of hearts, and Este surrenders to her fate as a Destructor. Will she fulfil the destiny mapped out for her by her master, or will powers outside of her control force her to make choices that challenge not only her friendship with Sarah, but also the authority of her master? Este and Sarah will soon discover that there is always a choice, no matter what destiny may seem to control.

An introduction to programming by the inventor of C++, Programming prepares students for programming in the real world. This book assumes that they aim eventually to write non-trivial programs, whether for work in software development or in some other technical field. It explains fundamental concepts and techniques in greater depth than traditional introductions. This approach gives students a solid foundation for writing useful, correct, maintainable, and efficient code. This book is an introduction to programming in general, including object-oriented programming and generic programming. It is also a solid introduction to the C++ programming language, one of the most widely used languages for real-world software. It presents modern C++ programming techniques from the start, introducing the C++ standard library to simplify programming tasks.

For more than twenty years, serious C programmers have relied on one book for practical, in-depth knowledge of the programming interfaces that drive the UNIX and Linux kernels: W. Richard Stevens' Advanced Programming in the UNIX(R) Environment . Now, once again, Rich's colleague Steve Rago has thoroughly updated this classic work. The new third edition supports today's leading platforms, reflects new technical advances and best practices, and aligns with Version 4 of the Single UNIX Specification. Steve carefully retains the spirit and approach that have made this book so valuable. Building on Rich's pioneering work, he begins with files, directories, and processes, carefully laying the groundwork for more advanced techniques, such as signal handling and terminal I/O. He also thoroughly covers threads and multithreaded programming, and socket-based IPC. This edition covers more than seventy new interfaces, including POSIX asynchronous I/O, spin locks, barriers, and POSIX semaphores. Most obsolete interfaces have been removed, except for a few that are ubiquitous. Nearly all examples have been tested on four modern platforms: Solaris 10, Mac OS X version 10.6.8 (Darwin 10.8.0), FreeBSD 8.0, and Ubuntu version 12.04 (based on Linux 3.2). As in previous editions, you'll learn through examples, including more than ten thousand lines of downloadable, ISO C source code. More than four hundred system calls and functions are demonstrated with concise, complete programs that clearly illustrate their usage, arguments, and return values. To tie together what you've learned, the book presents several chapter-length case studies, each reflecting contemporary environments. Advanced Programming in the UNIX(R) Environment has helped generations of programmers write code with exceptional power, performance, and reliability. Now updated for today's systems, this third edition will be even more valuable.
