Hardback. Condition: Good. Use of Files (1973) by D. R. Judd is one of those gloriously straight-faced titles that could only come from the era when computing was a serious business conducted in serious rooms by serious people who didn?t want excitement, they wanted order . Not ?content.? Not ?data.? Not ?the cloud.? Just? files . Plain, sensible, obedient files, lined up and doing what they?re told. And yet, behind this modest title lurks the beating heart of modern life. Because whether you?re running a bank, an airline, a national insurance scheme, or simply trying to stop your own paperwork from multiplying like rabbits, everything eventually becomes a question of: where do we put the information, how do we find it again, and how do we stop it becoming a disaster? In 1973, ?files? meant more than a folder on your desktop. It meant systems. Structures. Records. Access patterns. The thrilling administrative romance of making information behave . This is the kind of book that sits quietly at the foundation of civilisation, like plumbing: unglamorous, essential, and only truly appreciated when it fails catastrophically. Judd writes with that wonderfully calm, slightly stern technical tone of the early 1970s ? a period when documentation assumed the reader was competent, attentive, and not emotionally fragile. There?s no ?quick start.? No ?in five easy steps.? No motivational pep talk. Just a steady, methodical explanation of how to organise and handle information properly, in an age when storage was expensive, memory was small, and every choice had consequences. The book has the faint aura of the mainframe: humming, reliable, quietly judging you. And the irony, of course, is delicious. Fifty years later we are drowning in files. Files everywhere. Files inside files. Files you didn?t create and can?t delete. Files auto-synced, duplicated, cached, versioned, and politely resurrected by a service you cancelled in 2019. We live in a world where the use of files is no longer a technical question but a moral one. Which is why this book is such a satisfying artefact: it captures the moment when people still believed that with enough careful thought, the file problem could be solved. Condition (Good, like a well-kept cabinet) This copy is in Good condition ? fittingly tidy for a book about keeping things tidy. It presents well, holds together properly, and has clearly not spent its life face-down under a coffee mug. It looks like it has been respected, perhaps even consulted, and then sensibly returned to its place ? the highest praise any book on files can receive. Why you want it Because it?s a crisp, practical slice of early information-systems thinking ? and a time capsule from the age when the digital world was being built with caution and discipline, rather than apps that ask for your contacts ?for a better experience.? Perfect for: collectors of vintage computing and information science anyone who loves obscure but foundational technical books people who enjoy the quiet grandeur of systems and structure the sort of reader who finds comfort in indexes, headings, and orderly thinking Crappy Old Books offers Use of Files exactly as intended: solid, sensible, and quietly important. A 1973 manual for the management of information ? from back when we still believed information could be managed.

Softcover. Condition: gut. 2000. IDEs VCL Integrated Development Environments synchronisation programmer SysUtils programming tool Object Pascal I/O Windows messages VMTs virtual method tables TypInfo dy Delphi is quite rightly reckoned to be one of the best IDEs (Integrated Development Environments), and ideal for rapid program development thanks to its use of VCL. The Nutshell series are information-dense reference titles, and Delphi In A Nutshell doesn't disappoint. After a fast tour of Delphi's version of the Pascal language and the files and forms used in the Delphi IDE you get an overview of object oriented programming as it relates to Delphi. There's coverage of of Delphi usage including scheduling, thread synchronisation and so on, then it's on to the language itself. Each language element is named, its syntax and a description with any gotchas noted. There's a tips and tricks section followed by example usage and pointers to related material. This is a lot to pack in for every Delphi language element. One consequence is the need to limit the examples, which is a pity as they're often the most useful information. At the end of the book the last chapter deals with compiler directives and two appendices cover Delphi's command line tools and the separate but indispensable SysUtils unit. Delphi In A Nutshell isn't the kind of book you read in the bath, but it is one every Delphi programmer should have available when out of it. Aimed at the working Delphi developer, Delphi in a Nutshell is an effective desktop reference to this popular programming tool. Besides listing all core classes and methods, this book also provides a host of expert dos and don'ts for mastering the newest features in Delphi's Object Pascal. The heart of this book is its reference sections on built-in Delphi language features and other useful information on this development tool. Each entry has a guide to syntax, a description of all parameters and return values, and code samples, plus many entries feature "tricks and tips" with additional information. While this title concentrates on the "core" language (instead of Delphi's extensive support for visual components), there's little doubt that it will be useful if you work with the tool on a daily basis. The book also delivers an advanced guide to ramping up on the latest and greatest in new language features in Object Pascal. Material on using classes, and the type of information features available in today's Delphi, are particularly effective. There are a lot of smart tips on proper class design techniques, including using properties, constructors, and destructors. (Delphi has its own conventions here, and this book will fill you in if you are coming to Object Pascal from another programming language.) Along the way, the author offers numerous expert nuggets on when to use (and when to avoid) using certain features. Whether you are a novice or a more experienced developer, this tutorial and reference is all you need to be productive with the latest and greatest in object-oriented programming with Delphi. Topics coveredOverview of Delphi Object Pascal, units and libraries, data and string types, exception handling, file I/O, classes and objects, inheritance, constructors and destructors, interfaces, reference counting, Windows messages, memory management strategies, virtual method tables (VMTs), properties, using TypInfo, virtual and dynamic methods, automated methods and COM, Delphi type information and RTTI, concurrent programming with threads, synchronization, thread local storage techniques, Delphi language reference, system constants, operator reference, compiler directives, code samples, and programming tips.
