Effective Coding Practices
Computer resources are plentiful these days, but they’re far from infinite. Knowing how to carefully manage and use them is vital to create resilient programs. This chapter is crafted to explore how to use resources appropriately and avoid memory leaks.
The chapter will cover the following key topics:
- Reusing resources
- Executing tasks once
- Efficient memory mapping
- Avoiding common performance pitfalls
By the end of this chapter, you will have gained practical experience handling resources using the standard library, and you will know how to avoid making common mistakes with it.
