Compression algorithms are a part of almost every software application. Whetherthe compression is used in transportation of large files archiving importantdata or efficient use of the Web compression algorithms enable every user tomanipulate mass quantities of information effectively and efficiently. Thisbook is aimed at the programmer who must choose and implement good compressionstrategies. Compression algorithms are ideal for Internet and computernetworks. In the world of everincreasing file sizes compression algorithmsenable users developers and programmers to stay in control and work in anefficient manner. More and more programs are including complicated graphics orhefty data structures and this book will explain how to cut their size. «
