The zlib compression library enables developers to integrate lossless compression into their application suites with ease. The benefits are saved time, space, and therefore money.
Learn about a classical arithmetic compression implementation (CACM) optimization.
Redundancy is very high in any text material. Simple ordering can lead to compression ratios up to 20:1 in directory listings.
Do Gzip compression and decompression in memory as well as allocate and deallocate memory automatically. (The demo project was updated.)
Learn about fundamental data compression algorithms including RLE and Grayscale matrix compression.
Describes an optimization point found in the most commonly used adaptive Witten-Neal-Cleary implementation
The Transactional File System (TxF), which allows access to an NTFS file system to be conducted in a transacted manner through extensions to the Windows SDK API. MFC 10, has been extended to support TxF and related technologies. This support allows existing MFC applications to be easily extended to support kernel transactions.
Recently one way that developers have been looking to address the cookie abuse problem is via a method known as fingerprinting. Peter Shaw shows you how to generate a fingerprint in C# for use in your own projects.
Hannes du Preez demonstrates how easy it is to work with threads in your VB.NET applications.
This article introduces you to Big Data, Apache Hadoop and MapReduce jobs. We will also learn how to create MapReduce jobs using C#.
