Whether the compression is used on transportation of large files, archiving important data, or efficient use of the Web, compression algorithms enable every user to manipulate mass quantities of information effectively and efficienty. This book is aimed at the programmer who must choose and implement good compression strategies. Compression algorithms are ideal for Internet and computer networks. In the world of ever-increasing file sizes, compression algorithms enable users, developers and programmers to stay in control and work in an efficient manner. More programs are including complicated graphics or hefty data structures, and this book explains how to cut their size. |
