The Nonlinear Control Design Toolbox (Windows version, $895) from The MathWorks (Natick, MA) works with the company's Matlab and Simulink software to help you design controllers directly in the nonlinear domain. Targeted for engineers who design controllers for industries such as automotive, aerospace, process control, and petrochemicals, the NCD Toolbox lets you use the GUI to interactively specify time-domain response constraints. You can conduct live optimizations, displaying responses as they evolve at each iteration to provide access to intermediate solutions. You can also seamlessly access Matlab, Simulink, and optimization routines to automatically tune controller parameters. The software is also available for the Mac and Unix.

Flexible C++
Matthew Wilson
My approach to software engineering is far more pragmatic than it
is
theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
