Balancing Performance with Software Engineering Best Practices and Running in Production
T.J.A. Barker · Apress eBooks · 2012
Chapter 7 explored ways to improve runtime performance. You quantified these improvements using the example perfLogger library and charted the results with R. That has been a theme throughout this book—measure and prove a point with data. If I had to choose a single sentence to serve as a thesis statement for this book, it would have to be something that I said in the first chapter that deserves repeating: Any journeyman can create something to spec, but a master crafts with excellence and proves that excellence with empirical data. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
