In life, time is money, and on the Internet, the size of data is money. Small programs and small files take less disk space and cost less to send over the Internet. Compression Algorithms for Real Programmers describes the basic algorithms and approaches for compressing information so you can create the smallest files possible. These new algorithms are making it possible for people to take impossibly large audio and video files and compress them enough that they can flow over the Internet.
* Examines the classic algorithms like Huffman coding, arithmetic compression, and dictionary-based schemes in depth
* Describes the basic approaches used to squeeze audio and video signals by factors of as much as 100:1
* Discusses the philosophy of compression to illustrate the underlying trade-offs in the algorithms
* Explores the use of wavelets and other modeling techniques that use repetitive functions to squeeze audio and video
* Shows how programming solution

Genius. The book is definitely coherent and is quite a relaxing read. As a women's clothing retailer, I found this book to be "coffee table material" in my shop. So you can understand that I approached this last book with a big question in my mind: angst or light and funny? The Show Business setting let me think that it would be the second one but then the not easy relationship between Adder and Kalil, with their incapacity to come clear with their feelings was a sure hint that the angst part was there, ready to struck.
Adder is the first violin and leader singer of a rock band. It has motivated me to look more into the subject. Another winner that kept me reading when I should have been sleeping!. The book talks about many types of arguments, how to respond to them and real life examples. This isn't a book about doing something that makes the author more money or done to increase her ego.this book is written/researched out of the passion of a mother with a child with autism
