This book presents the fundamentals of exception handling with examples written in C++ and Python. Starting with its history and evolution, it explores the many facets of exception handling, such as its syntax, semantics, challenges, best practices, and implementation patterns.The book is composed of five chapters: Chapter 1 provides an introduction, covering the history, various definitions, and challenges of exception handling. Chapter 2 then delves into the basics, offering insights into the foundational concepts and techniques. Subsequently, chapter 3 touches upon the best practices for exception handling, including the differences between errors and exceptions, the use of assertions, and how to provide meaningful error messages. Chapter 4 takes a deep dive into advanced exception-handling techniques, exploring e.g. patterns, guard clauses, and hierarchical exception handling. Eventually, chapter 5 focuses on the complexities of exception handling in real-time and embedded systems.This book is mainly written for both students and professionals. Its readers will understand the nuances between syntax and semantic errors, learn how to employ try-catch blocks effectively, grasp the importance of logging exceptions, and delve into advanced exception-handling techniques. This way, they will be enabled to handle exceptions effectively and thus write more robust, reliable, and resilient code.

"System change" kann man allenthalben auf den Demos der Klimagerechtigkeitsbewegung hören. Das vorliegende Buch zeigt auf, worin dieser Systemwandel bestehen müsste. Pointiert und mit guten Argumenten macht der Autor deutlich, dass nicht nur der Kapitalismus, sondern auch die Industriegesellschaft, wie wir sie kennen, zur Disposition steht. Echte Klimapolitik darf nicht einfach auf ein technisches Problem reduziert werden. Es geht nicht bloß um einen schnelleren Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien und eine andere Infrastruktur. Eine ökologisch nachhaltige Wirtschaft wird unter dem Strich mit wesentlich weniger Nettoenergie und wesentlich weniger Rohstoffen auskommen müssen. Die Herausforderung für uns lautet: Wie gestalten wir eine solidarische Gesellschaft auf einer deutlich schmaleren materiellen Basis? Menschheitsgeschichtlich betrachtet erweisen sich die kaum drei Jahrhunderte der Industrialisierung als Singularität, die nicht in die Zukunft extrapoliert werden können. Einzig die Rückkehr zum menschlichen Maß weist uns den Weg aus der verhängnisvollen Geschichte des naturzerstörenden Industrialismus. Der Autor zeigt detailliert auf, dass der Ökostrom bei Weitem nicht reicht, dass er das, was uns jetzt noch auf fossiler Basis zur Verfügung steht, keineswegs substituieren kann. Eine Industriegesellschaft auf unserem Niveau lässt sich damit nicht mehr aufrechterhalten. Technische Lösungen, die mit immer mehr Aufwand an Ressourcen einen Ausweg aus unserem Dilemma versprechen (Kernfusion, CO2-Verpressung, Geo-Engineering) entlarvt der Autor als Sackgassen. Ein geplanter Schrumpfungsprozess ist der einzige Ausweg aus der Klimakatastrophe. Angesichts dieser Herausforderung müssen aber rein marktkonforme Instrumente wie Ökosteuern oder Emissionshandel versagen. Der Autor gibt Hinweise auf rasch umzusetzende ordnungspolitische Maßnahmen der "industriellen Abrüstung", auf die es jetzt ankäme. Und er zeigt, wie man das so gestalten kann, dass niemand um seine materielle Existenz bangen muss und dass es gerecht dabei zugeht. Wie aber entfalten wir den nötigen politischen Druck? Kritisch setzt sich der Autor mit dem geforderten "Labour turn" der Klimagerechtigkeitsbewegung auseinander, die den ArbeiterInnen Besitzstandswahrung verspricht. In den reichen Industrieländern kann ökologische Nachhaltigkeit nur Deprivilegierung bedeuten. Erfolgversprechend könnte der Aktionismus des radikalisierten Teils der Klimagerechtigkeitsbewegung sein. Allerdings müssten ihre Aktionen auch einer entsprechend radikalen Vorstellung von der Transformation entsprechen, die uns bevorsteht. Und ihr ziviler Ungehorsam müsste sich mit einer Lebenspraxis verbinden, die sich als Widerstand gegen den herrschenden, systemstabilisierenden Konsumismus begreift.
