Resourceful Code Reuse — by Dmitry Zinoviev (5 / 20)

After the mandatory introduction that sets the scene for the story, the book goes over three stages of small project development: editing (producing the project’s text in a programming language), compiling (converting the text into object files with machine code), and linking (combining the pre-compiled object files into one executable program file). Any unit produced at any stage can be reused and shared at a later stage, including the runtime when there is no more development. The rest of the book is organized into three chapters focused on these topics: compile-time reuse, link-time reuse, and runtime reuse.

I tried to keep the chapters as independent as possible but still ended up with some backward and forward references. The forward references are not so essential for understanding the material, but if you open the book in the middle and come across a backward reference that you do not recognize, I strongly suggest visiting it.
