Dr. Dobb's Journal May 2005
Al-go-rith-ims. The building blocks of programs. This month we look at algorithms for Bayesian text classification, optimizing Optimal Queens, processing database rows in batches, and numerical computation of elliptic functions. We also look at maps as computer images and examine Python 2.4 decorators. Then there's an examination of what multithreaded technology and multicore processors will mean for developers, a look at custom class loaders for Eclipse, and we share strategies for migrating from ASP to ASP.NET. All this and much more.
