Such application requirements translate to requirements for a network programming language that leverages massively-parallel systems and ensures a high level of security, while representing networking protocols and transactions in the simplest way possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  packetC meets these requirements with an intuitive approach to coarse-grained parallelism, with strong-typing and controlled memory access for security and with new data types and operators that express the classic operations of the network-oriented world in familiar programming terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  No other language has addressed the full breadth of requirements for tractable parallelism, secure processing and usable constructs.  The packetC language is growing in adoption and has been used to develop solutions operating in some of the world’s largest networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  This important new language, packetC, has now been successfully documented in this book, in which the language's authors provide the materials and tools you'll need in a readable and accessible form.        \u003c\/p\u003e    What you’ll learnThis book is the primary document specifying the language from a developer’s point of view and act as the formal language user’s guide.

Most importantly, it's for people who need to use packetC to program for the Internet backbone. Still, knowledge of the packetC language will help a much wider array of programmers who need to write effective code that will be optimized for the cloud and work effectively and efficiently through complex network structures. Finally, readers will learn about how and why packetC is needed, and to better understand the technologies, standards and issues surrounding the 'net. If you really want to understand this level of programming, this book is a must-have!         \u003c\/p\u003e     Table of ContentsPART  1:        packetC Background \u003cp\u003e  Chapter         1:        Origins of packetC \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         2:        Introduction to packetC Language \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         3:        Style Guidelines for packetC Programs \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         4:        Construction of a packetC Program \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  PART  2:        Language Reference \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         5:        Variables—Identifiers, Basic Scalar Data Types, and Literals  Chapter         6:        Data Initialization and Mathematical Expressions \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         7:        Functions      \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         8:        packetC Data Type Fundamentals \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         9:        C-Style Data Types \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         10:      Basic Packet Interaction and Operations \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         11:      Selection Statements \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         12:      Loops and Flow Control \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         13:      Exception Handling \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         14:      Databases Types and Operations   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         15:      Search Set Types and Operations           \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         16:      Reference Type and Operations \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         17:      Lock and Unlock Operators   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         18:      Packet Information Block and System Packet Operations Chapter         19:      Descriptor Type and Operations\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  PART  3:        Developing Applications\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         20:      Control Plane and System Interaction \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         21:      packetC Pre-Processor      \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         22:      Pragmas and Other Key Compiler Directives \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         23:      Developing Large Applications in packetC \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         24:      Construction of a packetC Executable \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         25:      packetC Standard Networking Descriptors \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         26:      Developing For Performance \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Chapter         27:      Standard Libraries \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  PART  4:        Industry Reprints \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Appendix        A:      Reference Tables \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Appendix        B:      Open Systems Vendors for packetC \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Appendix        C:      Glossary \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Appendix        D:      CloudShield Products Supporting packetC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47300810768624,"sku":"9781430241591","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781430241591_p0.jpg?v=1763750354","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781430241591","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
