Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JustCoding's Practical Guide to Coding Management Rose T. Dunn, MBA, RHIA, CPA, FACHE, FHFMA, CHPS ICD-10's arrival changed more than code selection--it's also brought challenges related to coder productivity, coding quality and accuracy, staffing shortages, coder education and training, and the increased need for auditing. The old rules and standards for running a department no longer apply, and coding managers must update their efforts, just as coders themselves have. This book gives coding managers new benchmarks, standards, and tips to ensure they're running an effective coding department. It provides strategies for coder retention, best practices to balance internal and outsourced coders, and tips for managing on-site and remote staff. The book also provides much-needed information for managers on how to educate their teams on coding's role within the revenue cycle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, software engineers need to know not only how to program effectively but also how to develop proper engineering practices to make their codebase sustainable and healthy. This book emphasizes this difference between programming and software engineering. How can software engineers manage a living codebase that evolves and responds to changing requirements and demands over the length of its life? Based on their experience at Google, software engineers Titus Winters and Hyrum Wright, along with technical writer Tom Manshreck, present a candid and insightful look at how some of the world’s leading practitioners construct and maintain software. This book covers Google’s unique engineering culture, processes, and tools and how these aspects contribute to the effectiveness of an engineering organization. You’ll explore three fundamental principles that software organizations should keep in mind when designing, architecting, writing, and maintaining code: How time affects the sustainability of software and how to make your code resilient over time How scale affects the viability of software practices within an engineering organization What trade-offs a typical engineer needs to make when evaluating design and development decisions
Download or read book Guide to Competitive Programming written by Antti Laaksonen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable textbook presents a comprehensive introduction to modern competitive programming. The text highlights how competitive programming has proven to be an excellent way to learn algorithms, by encouraging the design of algorithms that actually work, stimulating the improvement of programming and debugging skills, and reinforcing the type of thinking required to solve problems in a competitive setting. The book contains many “folklore” algorithm design tricks that are known by experienced competitive programmers, yet which have previously only been formally discussed in online forums and blog posts. Topics and features: reviews the features of the C++ programming language, and describes how to create efficient algorithms that can quickly process large data sets; discusses sorting algorithms and binary search, and examines a selection of data structures of the C++ standard library; introduces the algorithm design technique of dynamic programming, and investigates elementary graph algorithms; covers such advanced algorithm design topics as bit-parallelism and amortized analysis, and presents a focus on efficiently processing array range queries; surveys specialized algorithms for trees, and discusses the mathematical topics that are relevant in competitive programming; examines advanced graph techniques, geometric algorithms, and string techniques; describes a selection of more advanced topics, including square root algorithms and dynamic programming optimization. This easy-to-follow guide is an ideal reference for all students wishing to learn algorithms, and practice for programming contests. Knowledge of the basics of programming is assumed, but previous background in algorithm design or programming contests is not necessary. Due to the broad range of topics covered at various levels of difficulty, this book is suitable for both beginners and more experienced readers.
