Kali Linux в действии. 2 изд

В этой книге рассматриваются методы обхода систем безопасности сетевых сервисов и проникновения в открытые информационные системы. Информационная безопасность, как и многое в нашем мире, представляет собой медаль с двумя сторонами. С одной стороны, мы проводим аудит, ищем способы проникновения и даже применяем их на практике, а с другой — работаем над защитой. Тесты на проникновение являются частью нормального жизненного цикла любой ИТ-инфраструктуры, позволяя по-настоящему оценить возможные риски и выявить скрытые проблемы.

Может ли взлом быть законным? Конечно, может! Но только в двух случаях — когда вы взламываете принадлежащие вам ИС или когда вы взламываете сеть организации, с которой у вас заключено письменное соглашение о проведении аудита или тестов на проникновение. Мы надеемся, что вы будете использовать информацию из данной книги только в целях законного взлома ИС. Пожалуйста, помните о неотвратимости наказания — любые незаконные действия влекут за собой административную или уголовную ответственность.

Вы последовательно пройдете все шаги, необходимые для проведения аудита безопасности информационных систем и тестов на проникновение: от общих понятий, рассмотрения стандартов и необходимых действий перед проведением аудита до методов проникновения в информационную систему и закрепления в ней. Каждая глава книги подкреплена реальными примерами и содержит практическую информацию по применению тех или иных методов.
Книга адресована читателям, имеющим опыт работы в сфере информационных технологий и знакомым с работой основных сетевых сервисов как на Linux-, так и на Windows-платформах, а больше всего будет полезна системным администраторам, специалистам по ИТ-безопасности, всем тем, кто желает связать свою карьеру с защитой информации или аудиторской деятельностью.

Во втором, дополненном и переработанном издании, информация была полностью обновлена и соответствует современным реалиям.

Хакинг на С++

Наша книга не посвящена взлому информационных систем, поэтому если вы надеетесь с ее помощью взломать банк, сайт или еще что-либо, можете отложить ее в сторону. Но если вы хотите освоить программирование «взлома» на C++ и отойти от рутинных примеров, которых навалом в любом самоучителе, эта книга для вас. В ней мы не будем объяснять основы программирования на C++, т.к. считаем, что вы уже освоили азы и умеете пользоваться компилятором, чтобы откомпилировать программу.

Хакер умеет найти в программе недостатки, скрытые возможности, лазейки, и сделать так, чтобы заставить все это работать неправильно или необычно. Хакер видит то, что не видят другие. А чтобы у вас была возможность так видеть, вы должны знать языки программирования, и С++ для этого – отличный вариант. Мы поговорим об объектно-ориентированном программировании; напишем приложение клиент/сервер; разберемся с алгоритмами поиска и сортировки; поищем «жертву» с помощью сканера портов; обсудим шифрованием файлов и займемся разработкой Malware. В общем, рассмотрим программирование на С++ глазами хакера.

Speed Up Your Python with Rust

Python has made software development easier, but it falls short in several areas including memory management that lead to poor performance and security. Rust, on the other hand, provides memory safety without using a garbage collector, which means that with its low memory footprint, you can build high-performant and secure apps relatively easily. However, rewriting everything in Rust can be expensive and risky as there might not be package support in Rust for the problem being solved. This is where Python bindings and pip come in.

This book will help you, as a Python developer, to start using Rust in your Python projects without having to manage a separate Rust server or application. Seeing as you'll already understand concepts like functions and loops, this book covers the quirks of Rust such as memory management to code Rust in a productive and structured manner. You'll explore the PyO3 crate to fuse Rust code with Python, learn how to package your fused Rust code in a pip package, and then deploy a Python Flask application in Docker that uses a private Rust pip module. Finally, you'll get to grips with advanced Rust binding topics such as inspecting Python objects and modules in Rust.

By the end of this Rust book, you'll be able to develop safe and high-performant applications with better concurrency support.

What You Will Learn

Explore the quirks of the Rust programming language that a Python developer needs to understand to code in Rust
Understand the trade-offs for multiprocessing and thread safety to write concurrent code
Build and manage a software project with cargo and crates
Fuse Rust code with Python so that Python can import and run Rust code
Deploy a Python Flask application in Docker that utilizes a private Rust pip module

Game Development Patterns with Unity 2021 Second Edition

While writing this book, I realized that it was almost impossible to satisfy every potential reader's needs when it comes to game development. Game development is a diverse industry with many different platforms and genres, and each one has its own unique characteristics that cannot be covered in a single book. Therefore, I decided to focus on a specific audience: game programmers who are working on mobile or indie games using the Unity engine. These programmers are in the process of refactoring their code to make it more maintainable and scalable, and they have a basic understanding of the Unity engine and the C# language. Senior programmers working on larger-scale games may find some examples in this book to be limited, but they will still find valuable insights into the challenges they face in their own projects.Daily, however, the content of this book may offer another perspective on the use of design patterns in Unity. Therefore, feel free to skip any chapter if you are already familiar with the theory and would like to see how I have implemented a specific pattern.

Learn R: As a Language. 2 Ed

Learning a computer language like R can be either frustrating, fun, or boring. Having fun requires challenges that wake up the learner’s curiosity but also provide an emotional reward on overcoming them. This book is designed so that it includes smaller and bigger challenges, in what I call playgrounds, in the hope that all readers will enjoy their path to R fluency. Fluency in the use of a language is a skill that is acquired through practice and exploration. Although rarely mentioned separately, fluency in a computer programming language involves both writing and reading. The parallels between natural and computer languages are many, but differences are also important. For students and professionals in the biological sciences, humanities, and many applied fields, recognizing the parallels between R and natural languages should help them feel at home with R. The approach I use is similar to that of a travel guide, encouraging exploration and describing the available alternatives and how to reach them. The intention is to guide the reader through the R landscape of 2020 and beyond.

Features

R as it is currently used
Few prescriptive rules―mostly the author’s preferences together with alternatives
Explanation of the R grammar emphasizing the "R way of doing things"
Tutoring for "programming in the small" using scripts
The grammar of graphics and the grammar of data described as grammars
Examples of data exchange between R and the foreign world using common file formats
Coaching for becoming an independent R user, capable of both writing original code and solving future challenges
What makes this book different from others:
Tries to break the ice and help readers from all disciplines feel at home with R
Does not make assumptions about what the reader will use R for
Attempts to do only one thing well: guide readers into becoming fluent in the R language

Installing C/C++ compilers, especially Microsoft compilers, typically takes quite a lot of time because it comes with Microsoft Visual Studio for the vast majority of users. Installing Visual Studio requires usually about 40 GB of disk space and a large amount of RAM, so it is impossible to use weak hardware.

The authors provide an easy way to deploy Microsoft C/C++ compiler: with no disk space headache and hardware resources lack. The method described saves significant time since software can even be deployed on removable devices, such as flash sticks, in an easy and portable way.

It is achieved by using Enterprise Windows Driver Kit (EWDK), single big ISO image, which can be mounted as virtual device and used directly without any installation. EWDK contains everything from Visual Studio except IDE. EWDK also allows to use MASM64 (Microsoft Macro-Assembly) and C# compilers.

With the aid of the MSBuild System, one can compile Visual Studio Projects (.vcxproj) and Solutions (.sln) without even using Visual Studio! Similarly, MinGW compilers can be deployed from 7z/zip archives, simply by unpacking into appropriate location. Both Microsoft C/C++ and MinGW compilers can be used as portable software—an approach that does not require administrative privileges at all.

What you’ll learn

Rapid installation of modern Microsoft C/C++ and MinGW compilers.
How to prepare reusable and portable Microsoft C/C++ and MinGW compilers suite on removable media (flash stick, CD/DVD).
How to use Microsoft C/C++ and MinGW compilers even on old/slow computers without standard installation.
How to build under Windows the libraries originally designed for Unix-systems.
Learn to run multiple versions of these compilers at the same time.

Who This Book Is For

Reader of all skills who wants to save time and efforts to start to work with C++. Also useful for scientists who are not familiar with software installation.

Modern Software Testing Techniques

Many books have been written about software testing, but most of them discuss the general framework of testing from a traditional perspective. Unfortunately, traditional test design techniques are often ineffective and unreliable for revealing the various kinds of faults that may occur. This book introduces three new software testing techniques: Two-Phase Model-Based Testing, the Action-State Testing, and the General Predicate Testing, all of which work best when applied with efficient fault revealing capabilities.

You’ll start with a short recap of software testing, focusing on why risk analysis is obligatory, how to classify bugs practically, and how fault-based testing can be used for improving test design. You’ll then see how action-state testing merges the benefits of state transition testing and use case testing into a unified approach. Moving on you’ll look at general predicate testing and how it serves as an extension of boundary value analysis, encompassing more complex predicates.

Two-phase model-based testing represents an advanced approach where the model does not necessarily need to be machine-readable; human readability suffices. The first phase involves a high-level model from which abstract tests are generated. Upon manual execution of these tests, the test code is generated. Rather than calculating output values, they are merely checked for conformity. The last part of this book contains a chapter on how developers and testers can help each other and work as a collaborative team.

What You'll Learn

Apply efficient test design techniques for detecting domain faults
Work with modeling techniques that combine all the advantages of state transition testing and uses case testing
Grasp the two-phase model-based testing technique
Use test design efficiently to find almost all the bugs in an application

Who This Book Is For

Software developers, QA engineers, and, business analysts

Quick Java

Unfortunately, you’re a C++ programmer, or maybe a Python programmer. How are you going to get up to speed in a hurry? There are lots of Java books for beginners, telling you all about what a computer is and how it represents everything in bits. You don’t need that. At the other extreme, there are thousand-page tomes that you aren’t going to get through in a few days, if ever. You need something in-between.

This book is intended to fill that gap. It’s written for the programmer who doesn’t need to be taught how to program, just how to do it in Java―and who needs to get started in a hurry.

Java is covered from the inside out. First, all the things that go inside a class, most of which are practically identical to C++. After that, all the various and complicated kinds of classes and interfaces and how they relate to each other in large-scale programs.

Testing is essential, so (unlike most Java books) JUnit is covered in detail. Then, in case you need to go in that direction, some functional programming, a little about parallel programming, and more than enough to get you started in building GUIs (graphical user interfaces) and doing animation.

There’s a lot in this little book and, despite my best efforts, you won’t learn Java in a weekend. But it should be a good start.

FEATURES

Circular approach allows very fast entry into Java
Full description of JUnit testing
Summary of functional programming in Java
Introduction to synchronization and parallel processing
Extensive description of building GUIs

Cloud Attack Vectors

Cyberattacks continue to increase in volume and sophistication, targeting everything owned, managed, and serviced from the cloud. Today, there is widespread consensus―it is not a matter of if, but rather when an organization will be breached. Threat actors typically target the path of least resistance. With the accelerating adoption of cloud technologies and remote work, the path of least resistance is shifting in substantive ways. In recent years, attackers have realigned their efforts, focusing on remaining undetected, monetization after exploitation, and publicly shaming organizations after a breach.

New, innovative, and useful products continue to emerge and offer some cloud protection, but they also have distinct limitations. No single, standalone solution or strategy can effectively protect against all cloud attack vectors or identify all malicious activity. The simple fact is that the cloud is based on a company’s assets being offered as services. As a result, the best security any organization can achieve is to establish controls and procedures in conjunction with services that are licensed in the cloud.

Cloud Attack Vectors details the risks associated with cloud deployments, the techniques threat actors leverage, the empirically-tested defensive measures organizations should adopt, and shows how to improve detection of malicious activity.

What You’ll Learn

Know the key definitions pertaining to cloud technologies, threats, and cybersecurity solutions
Understand how entitlements, permissions, rights, identities, accounts, credentials, and exploits can be leveraged to breach a cloud environment
Implement defensive and monitoring strategies to mitigate cloud threats, including those unique to cloud and hybrid cloud environments
Develop a comprehensive model for documenting risk, compliance, and reporting based on your cloud implementation

Who This Book Is For

New security professionals, entry-level cloud security engineers, managers embarking on digital transformation, and auditors looking to understand security and compliance risks associated with the cloud

Канбан. Альтернативный путь в Agile

Подробное руководство по канбану от человека с 30-летним опытом, впервые применившего этот метод в разработке ПО.

Дэвид Андерсон, внедрявший метод канбана в нескольких компаниях и постоянно его улучшавший, рассказывает, как эффективно вводить идеи бережливого производства в технологические разработки и IT-операции — с минимальным сопротивлением изменениям и при этом сохраняя оптимальный для всех вовлеченных в работу сотрудников темп.

Канбан быстро выявляет проблемы, которые сказываются на производительности, и заставляет команду сосредоточиться на их разрешении, чтобы сохранять постоянный поток работы. Делая наглядными проблемы качества и процесса, канбан дает возможность оценить влияние дефектов, ограничений, вариативности и экономических расходов на поток работы и пропускную способность сотрудников.

Простое ограничение незаконченных заданий посредством канбана приводит к повышению качества работы и ее производительности. Сочетание оптимизации потока работы и повышенного качества помогает сократить время выполнения и повышает предсказуемость и вероятность выполнения работы в срок. Установив регулярные каденции релиза и постоянное следование расписанию, канбан помогает создать доверительные отношения с клиентами и другими участниками потока создания ценностей — другими отделами, поставщиками и зависящими от вас партнерами.

Доказано, что канбан повышает удовлетворенность пользователя благодаря регулярным, надежным и высококачественным релизам ценных программ. Также доказано, что он улучшает производительность, качество и сокращает время выработки. Есть свидетельства того, что канбан может стать катализатором для возникновения более гибкой организации благодаря эволюционным культурным изменениям.

Эта книга отвечает на вопросы:

· Что такое канбан?
· Зачем он нужен вашей компании?
· Как его внедрить?
· Как распознать возможности для улучшений в бизнесе — и что с ними делать?

Для кого эта книга

Для менеджеров и руководителей IT-компаний.

Нажми Reset

Внутри: реальные истории разработчиков Irrational Games, 2K Marin, Visceral и других студий, чье падение стало для сотрудников шоком.

Вы – игровой разработчик, и ваша мечта – делать игры, в которые будут играть миллионы геймеров. Но реальный мир – не сказка. Студии закрываются, сделанные с любовью проекты отправляются в мусорный бак, а люди остаются без работы.

Джейсон Шрейер снова заглянет за кулисы индустрии видеоигр, чтобы рассказать, как распадались самые известные студии последнего десятилетия. Вы узнаете, почему успех BioShock Infinite, Epic Mickey или Dead Space не помог их создателям удержаться на плаву. Вас ждет уникальное расследование причин краха индустрии и поиск ответов на вопрос, заслуживает ли она второго шанса.

В первой книге Шрейер убедительно рассказывает о том, что релиз каждой игры – настоящее чудо. После прочтения второй чудом кажется уже то, что в этой индустрии по-прежнему работает множество талантливых людей с горящими глазами – настолько беспощадной и депрессивной она порой может быть.

Игровая индустрия за последние годы достигла небывалых высот. В пылу восторгов легко забыть (или не хотеть вспоминать) об обратной стороне игрового бизнеса: провалах, переработках, массовых увольнениях, банкротстве. "Нажми Reset" красочно и в подробностях напоминает о том, что делать игры – это пусть и работа мечты, но все еще работа, крайне тяжелая и часто неблагодарная.

Психология видеоигр

Эта книга развеет популярные мифы и заблуждения о вреде видеоигр. На самом деле они помогают развивать навыки, добиваться успеха на работе и формировать хорошие привычки. Изучите, что происходит у нас в голове, когда мы покупаем игры и играем в них, и начните подходить к ним на собственных условиях, извлекать из них пользу и получать удовольствие.

Правда ли, что видеоигры делают нас умнее?
Почему людям нравятся жестокие игры и почему это нормально?
Как игры продают друг друга и заставляют нас донатить в приложениях?
Как игры приучают нас гнаться за достижениями и радоваться луту?

Поймите, как игры и игровой маркетинг влияют на игроков и как люди могут наладить здоровый подход к ним.
Научитесь использовать психологию, чтобы создавать увлекательные игры, которые удовлетворяют потребности игроков, не начиная их эксплуатировать.
Узнайте, почему определенные подходы к маркетингу, развитию сообщества, социальным сетям и ценообразованию работают - или не работают - в игровой индустрии.

"В России выросло поколение геймеров и уже влияет на большую часть отраслей бизнеса, культуры, образования, политики и других сфер. Социальное и культурное влияние видеоигр настолько велико, что его нельзя игнорировать. Поэтому важно понимать с психологической и поведенческой точки зрения, как через игровой опыт создается все больше возможностей для социального взаимодействия и формирования следующих поколений". - Василий Овчинников, руководитель Организации развития видеоигровой индустрии, кандидат социологических наук

Архитектура видеоигровых миров

Почему видеоигровые миры увлекают на долгие часы? Какие элементы дизайна могут рассказать об устройстве мира больше, чем сюжет игры? Что общего у Cyberpunk 2077 и Dragon Age II?

В книге "Архитектура видеоигровых миров" авторы изучают эти вопросы сквозь призму архитектуры: как она влияет на разработку игр, почему в одних мирах нам хочется задержаться подольше, а другие поскорее покинуть.

Первое, что можно увидеть, запуская игру, – окружающее пространство. Чтобы выстроить его правильно, нужно обладать наблюдательностью, пониманием человеческого быта и широким кругозором, ведь то, что доставляет человеку удобство и комфорт в реальной жизни, может не сработать в виртуальном пространстве. Но даже в этом случае разработчики всегда находят способ удивить игрока.

Архитектор Мария Важенич в соавторстве с разработчиком Артемием Козловым и исследователем Иеронимом К. помогут понять, почему архитектура настолько важна для видеоигр.

Книга будет интересна тем, кто хочет узнать о видеоиграх больше, и тем, кто ищет новые инструменты и приёмы, создавая свои игры.

В качестве дополнительного материала к книге прилагается цифровой альбом со скриншотами игр, который можно посмотреть при помощи QR-кодов, расположенных в начале каждой главы.

Ошибки разработчиков видеоигр

Инструкция по предотвращению распространенных ошибок при разработке видеоигры.

Как трезво оценивать свой проект?

Swift для детей

Одной кнопкой пригласить на праздник всех друзей, придумать игру с бесстрашной скейтершей, обучить компьютер угадывать цифры... Если у вас в руках творение великого Джобса – вы можете сами придумать начинку!

Из этого самоучителя вы узнаете, как программировать на Swift – языке, на котором написаны мобильные приложения для Apple. Современный и функциональный Swift легко изучать. Он интуитивно понятен и отлично подходит для тех, кто хочет познакомиться с основами программирования.

Для начала вы научитесь работать в Xcode Playground. Эта учебная площадка создана специально для того, чтобы вы делали первые шаги и тут же видели результаты. Разобравшись с основами, вы по инструкциям создадите два приложения – анимированную игру и напоминалку о днях рождения друзей. А еще, немного освоившись, сможете создать в Xcode любое приложение – какое захотите!

Если вы интересуетесь программированием и хотите им заниматься, эта книга станет отличной отправной точкой. Скорее всего, ее основными читателями будут дети, но она может пригодиться и взрослым. Эта книга будет полезна как тем, кто не имеет навыков программирования, так и опытным программистам, которые хотят побольше узнать о создании приложений.

Scratch для детей. Самоучитель по программированию

Книга мне понравилась. Информация подана системно. Определения и объяснения четкие. Единственное, считаю, что Scratch лучше всего подходит для совсем юных программистов, а восьмилетке такая книга окажется «не по зубам». Поэтому думаю, что это материал скорее для родителей, которые хотят научить своих детей программированию, готовы участвовать в процессе, но не знают как объяснить и с чего начать. Ну и для тех «выросших из начальной школы», кто программировать не умеет, серьезно заниматься этим не собирается, но хочет в него «поиграть».

Теперь от плюсов перейдем к жирному минусу. Не могу я понять, зачем русифицировать язык программирования. Программирование изначально «англоязычно», а правильные привычки нужно вырабатывать «с пеленок». Визуальная среда как нельзя более способствует пониманию незнакомых иностранных слов и стимулирует на изучение языка. Поэтому мы используем англоязычную версию Scratch и тренируемся в «обратном переводе» скриптов.

Go Systems Programming

Go is the new systems programming language for Linux and Unix systems. It is also the language in which some of the most prominent cloud-level systems have been written, such as Docker. Where C programmers used to rule, Go programmers are in demand to write highly optimized systems programming code.

Created by some of the original designers of C and Unix, Go expands the systems programmers toolkit and adds a mature, clear programming language. Traditional system applications become easier to write since pointers are not relevant and garbage collection has taken away the most problematic area for low-level systems code: memory management.

This book opens up the world of high-performance Unix system applications to the beginning Go programmer. It does not get stuck on single systems or even system types, but tries to expand the original teachings from Unix system level programming to all types of servers, the cloud, and the web.

What you will learn

Explore the Go language from the standpoint of a developer conversant with Unix, Linux, and so on
Understand Goroutines, the lightweight threads used for systems and concurrent applications
Learn how to translate Unix and Linux systems code in C to Golang code

Robotics, Vision and Control. 3 Ed

Robotic vision, the combination of robotics and computer vision, involves the application of computer algorithms to data acquired from sensors. The research community has developed a large body of such algorithms but for a newcomer to the field this can be quite daunting. For over 20 years the author has maintained two open-source MATLAB® Toolboxes, one for robotics and one for vision. They provide implementations of many important algorithms and allow users to work with real problems, not just trivial examples. This book makes the fundamental algorithms of robotics, vision and control accessible to all. It weaves together theory, algorithms and examples in a narrative that covers robotics and computer vision separately and together. Using the latest versions of the Toolboxes the author shows how complex problems can be decomposed and solved using just a few simple lines of code. The topics covered are guided by real problems observed by the author over many years as a practitioner of both robotics and computer vision. It is written in an accessible but informative style, easy to read and absorb, and includes over 1000 MATLAB and Simulink® examples and over 400 figures. The book is a real walk through the fundamentals of mobile robots, arm robots. then camera models, image processing, feature extraction and multi-view geometry and finally bringing it all together with an extensive discussion of visual servo systems. This second edition is completely revised, updated and extended with coverage of Lie groups, matrix exponentials and twists; inertial navigation; differential drive robots; lattice planners; pose-graph SLAM and map making; restructured material on arm-robot kinematics and dynamics; series-elastic actuators and operational-space control; Lab color spaces; light field cameras; structured light, bundle adjustment and visual odometry; and photometric visual servoing.

Writing A Compiler In Go

This is the sequel to Writing An Interpreter In Go. We're picking up right where we left off and write a compiler and a virtual machine for Monkey.

Runnable and tested code front and center, built from the ground up, step by step — just like before. But this time, we're going to define bytecode, compile Monkey and execute it in our very own virtual machine. It's the next step in Monkey's evolution. It's the sequel to … a programming language.

Writing A Compiler In Go is the sequel to Writing An Interpreter In Go.

It starts right where the first one stopped, with a fully-working, fully-tested Monkey interpreter in hand, connecting both books seamlessly, ready to build a compiler and a virtual machine for Monkey. In this book, we use the codebase (included in the book!) from the first part and extend it. We take the lexer, the parser, the AST, the REPL and the object system and use them to build a new, faster implementation of Monkey, right next to the tree-walking evaluator we built in the first book.

The approach is unchanged, too. Working, tested code is the focus, we build everything from scratch, do baby steps, write tests firsts, use no 3rd-party-libraries and see and understand how all the pieces fit together.It's a continuation in prose and in code. Do you need to read the first part before this one? If you're okay with treating the code from the first book as black box, then no. But that's not what these books are about; they're about opening up black boxes, looking inside and shining a light. You'll have the best understanding of where we're going in this book, if you know where we started.

Learn how to write a compiler and a virtual machine

Our main goal in in this book is to evolve Monkey. We change its architecture and turn it into a bytecode compiler and virtual machine.We'll take the lexer, the parser, the AST and the object system we wrote in the first book and use them to build our own Monkey compiler and virtual machine … from scratch! We'll build them side-by-side so that we'll always have a running system we can steadily evolve.What we end up with is not only much closer to the programming languages we use every day, giving us a better understanding of how they work, but also 3x faster. And that's without explicitly aiming for performance.

Here's what we'll do:

We define our own bytecode instructions, specifying their operands and their encoding. Along the way, we also build a mini-disassembler for them.
We write a compiler that takes in a Monkey AST and turns it into bytecode by emitting instructions
At the same time we build a stack-based virtual machine that executes the bytecode in its main loop

We'll learn a lot about computers, how they work, what machine code and opcodes are, what the stack is and how to work with stack pointers and frame pointers, what it means to define a calling convention, and much more.

We also

build a symbol table and a constant pool
do stack arithmetic
generate jump instructions
build frames into our VM to execute functions with local bindings and arguments!
add built-in functions to the VM
get real closures working in the virtual machine and learn why closure-compilation is so tricky

Writing an Interpreter in Go

In this book we will create a programming language together. We'll start with 0 lines of code and end up with a fully working interpreter for the Monkey programming language.

Step by step. From tokens to output. All code shown and included. Fully tested.

Buy this book to learn:

How to build an interpreter for a C-like programming language from scratch
What a lexer, a parser and an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) are and how to build your own
What closures are and how and why they work
What the Pratt parsing technique and a recursive descent parser is
What others talk about when they talk about built-in data structures
What REPL stands for and how to build one

Why this book?

This is the book I wanted to have a year ago. This is the book I couldn't find. I wrote this book for you and me. So why should you buy it? What's different about it, compared to other interpreter or compiler literature?

Working code is the focus. Code is not just found in the appendix. Code is the main focus of this book.
It's small! It has around 200 pages of which a great deal are readable, syntax-highlighted, working code.
The code presented in the book is easy to understand, easy to extend, easy to maintain.
No 3rd party libraries! You're not left wondering: "But how does tool X do that?" We won't use a tool X. We only use the Go standard library and write everything ourselves.
Tests! The interpreter we build in the book is fully tested! Sometimes in TDD style, sometimes with the tests written after. You can easily run the tests to experiment with the interpreter and make changes.

This book is for you if you...

learn by building, love to look under the hood
love programming and to program for the sake of learning and joy!
are interested in how your favorite, interpreted programming language works
never took a compiler course in college
want to get started with interpreters or compilers…
... but don't want to work through a theory-heavy, 800 pages, 4 pounds compiler book as a beginner
kept screaming "show me the code!" when reading about interpreters and compilers
always wanted to say: "Holy shit, I built a programming language!"

Ваши гиды Дункан и Нэт уже проделали этот путь в 2015 году, и с тех пор помогли многим командам и отдельным разработчикам повторить его. Путешествуйте вместе с ними по проверенному маршруту, включающему такие промежуточные остановки, как переход от объектов JavaBeans к значениям, от коллекций Java к коллекциям Kotlin и от классов Java к классам Kotlin.

Авторы подробно объясняют ключевые концепции, а затем показывают, как постепенно и безопасно перенести код Java в идиоматичный Kotlin, сохраняя при этом совместимость. В результате код становится проще, выразительнее и удобнее для редактирования. К концу путешествия вы будете уверены в том, что сможете перевести все свои Java-проекты на платформу Kotlin, освоите Kotlin с нуля и научитесь управлять смешанной языковой базой кода по мере ее развития.

Взять знакомый всем старый добрый код Java и наблюдать за тем, как он постепенно превращается в лаконичный, четкий, выразительный и легкий в обслуживании код на языке Kotlin — замечательный способ выучить язык. Воспользуйтесь опытом, которым делятся Макгрегор и Прайс.

Software Design by Example

The best way to learn design in any field is to study examples, and some of the best examples of software design come from the tools programmers use in their own work. Software Design by Example: A Tool-Based Introduction with JavaScript therefore builds small versions of the things programmers use in order to demystify them and give some insights into how experienced programmers think. From a file backup system and a testing framework to a regular expression matcher, a browser layout engine, and a very small compiler, we explore common design patterns, show how making code easier to test also makes it easier to reuse, and help readers understand how debuggers, profilers, package managers, and version control systems work so that they can use them more effectively.

This material can be used for self-paced study, in an undergraduate course on software design, or as the core of an intensive weeklong workshop for working programmers. Each chapter has a set of exercises ranging in size and difficulty from half a dozen lines to a full day’s work. Readers should be familiar with the basics of modern JavaScript, but the more advanced features of the language are explained and illustrated as they are introduced.

All the written material in this project can be freely reused under the terms of the Creative Commons - Attribution license, while all of the software is made available under the terms of the Hippocratic License. All proceeds from sale of this book will go to support the Red Door Family Shelter in Toronto.

Features

Teaches software design by showing programmers how to build the tools they use every day
Each chapter includes exercises to help readers check and deepen their understanding

C++ for beginners: Your comprehensive step-by-step guide to learn everything about C++

C++ is a high-performance programming language that is widely used in a variety of applications, such as operating systems, web browsers, and video games.

It was developed in 1979 by Bjarne Stroustrup as an extension of the C programming language, adding object-oriented features and other enhancements.

C++ is a statically-typed, compiled language, which means that it is more efficient than dynamically-typed languages like Python or JavaScript. It is also a very expressive language, allowing programmers to write code that is both efficient and easy to read.

One of the key features of C++ is its support for object-oriented programming (OOP). In OOP, data and behavior are encapsulated in "objects," which can be used to model real-world concepts and interact with each other through methods.

C++ also supports procedural programming, which is a more traditional style of programming that focuses on writing functions to perform specific tasks.

C++ is a powerful and flexible language, but it can also be complex and difficult to learn for beginners. It requires a good understanding of computer science concepts and a solid foundation in programming concepts such as variables, data types, loops, and control structures.

However, once you have a firm understanding of these concepts, C++ can be a very rewarding language to learn and use.

Cyber Security: The complete guide to cyber threats and protection, 2nd Edition

While conducting my research for this (and the first edition of this) book, I have noted literally hundreds of cyber security incidents – some relatively trivial, some rather more serious.

What has never ceased to amaze me is not that they keep happening, but that the same kinds of incident keep happening, and that some people do not appear to learn the lessons of others’ mistakes and occasionally even of their own. In the 21st century, we are almost totally reliant upon information technology, and in particular the interconnectedness that allows us to conduct our lives more efficiently. We now regard access to the connected world as a basic utility along with gas, electricity and water.

As business, commerce and government continue to place their services online, we have become increasingly dependent upon something that few people truly understand, and to which some for whatever reason are denied access

Quick JavaScript

JavaScript is an evolving language. It is defined by a series of standards known as ECMAScript by Ecma International.

As a language, JavaScript looks much like Java or C++. Unlike these languages, the original version of JavaScript is widely regarded as a hastily written, poorly designed language.

Because of this perception, other languages have been written for use on HTML pages (CoffeeScript, Dart, etc.), but these must be compiled to JavaScript in order to be used by browsers.

JavaScript is the only language understood by browsers. In order to make significant changes to the JavaScript language without breaking existing programs, ECMAScript 2015 introduced strict mode.

Strict mode eliminates or modifies the worst parts of JavaScript. All new programming should be done in strict mode. To invoke strict mode for an entire program, put "use strict"; (complete with quotes) at the first line of a program.

To invoke strict mode for a single function, put that string as the first line inside the function. The primary use of JavaScript is to add interactivity to web pages.

Web pages are written in HTML, HyperText Markup Language. This book is not about HTML, but it does cover the minimum necessary.

Python Distilled

Instead of trying to cover all the possible features and quirks of a 30-year-old language, this pragmatic guide provides a summary of fundamental programming topics such as data abstraction, control flow, program structure, functions, objects and modules - topics that form the basis for Python projects of any size.

Python How-To: 63 techniques to improve your Python code

If you’ve been self-teaching and using Python for some time, but feel that your Python knowledge is unstructured, I consider you to be a late-beginner or early-intermediate user. This book is right for you because you need to reinforce and synthesize your Python knowledge in a structured way. In this book, I identify several topics in each chapter to address common problems that you may encounter in your work. My coverage of these topics teaches you more than how to address a specific problem; it also frames the content in a larger context, showing why and how the topic matters when you’re working on a project. This way, you’re not learning individual techniques to complete separate tasks; you’re completing a project and learning these techniques in the process.

R Packages. 2 Ed

Turn your R code into packages that others can easily install and use. With this fully updated edition, developers and data scientists will learn how to bundle reusable R functions, sample data, and documentation together by applying the package development philosophy used by the team that maintains the "tidyverse" suite of packages. In the process, you'll learn how to automate common development tasks using a set of R packages, including devtools, usethis, testthat, and roxygen2.

Authors Hadley Wickham and Jennifer Bryan from Posit (formerly known as RStudio) help you create packages quickly, then teach you how to get better over time. You'll be able to focus on what you want your package to do as you progressively develop greater mastery of the structure of a package.

Build Your Own Test Framework

Learn to write better automated tests that will dramatically increase your productivity and have fun while doing so. This book is a build-your-own adventure designed for individual reading and for collaborative workshops.

You will build an xUnit automated test framework using JavaScript: initially a clone of Jest, but adding a couple of neat features borrowed from RSpec, the genre-defining tool for behavior-driven development (BDD). Along the way, you will explore the philosophy behind automated testing best practices. The automated test runner is one of the most important innovations within software engineering. But for many programmers, automated testing remains a mystery, and knowing how to write good tests is akin to sorcery.

As the chapters of this book unfold, you will see how the humble test runner is an elegant and simple piece of software. Each chapter picks a single feature to build, like the "it" function or the "beforeEach" block. It picks apart the theory of why the feature needs to exist, and how to use it effectively in your own test suites. Every chapter ends with a set of ideas for extension points should you wish to explore further, alone or in groups. The book culminates in an implementation of test doubles and mocks―one of the most difficult and misunderstood concepts within automated testing.
By the end of the book, you will have gained a solid understanding of automated testing principles that you can immediately apply to your work projects.

What You'll Learn

Build an xUnit automated test framework
See how an automated test runner works
Understand the best practices for automated unit testing
Effectively use test doubles and mocks

Python True Book

We are all probably spending time doing small manual tasks that don't add much value. It may be scanning through information sources in search of the small bits of relevant information, working with spreadsheets to generate the same graph over and over, or searching files one by one until we find the data we're looking for. Some—probably most—of those tasks are, in fact, automatable. There's an investment upfront, but for the tasks that get repeated over and over, we can use computers to do these kinds of menial tasks and focus our own efforts instead on what humans are good for—high-level analysis and decision making based on the result. This book will explain how to use the Python language to automate common business tasks that can be greatly sped up if a computer is doing them.

Given the expressiveness and ease of use of Python, it's surprisingly simple to start making small programs to perform these actions and combine them into more integrated systems. Throughout the book, we will show small, easy-to-follow recipes that can be adapted to your specific needs, and we will combine them to perform more complex actions. We will perform common actions, such as detecting opportunities by scraping the web, analyzing information to generate automatic spreadsheet reports with graphs, communicating with automatically generated emails, getting notifications via text messages, and learning how to run tasks while your mind is focused on other more important stuff.

Though some Python knowledge is required, the book is written with nonprogrammers in mind, giving clear and instructive recipes that will further the reader's proficiency while being oriented to specific day-to-day goals.

Who this book is for

This book is for Python beginners, not necessarily developers, that want to use and expand their knowledge to automate tasks. Most of the examples in the book are aimed at marketing, sales, and other non-tech areas. The reader needs to know a little of the Python language, including its basic concepts.

PREFACE

Welcome and thank you for reading these lines. Since I started programming in Go, I have always enjoyed its extraordinary commitment to simplicity. It is difficult to find another language that can make complex things so easily. That is the beauty of this language. Years have passed by and Go is no longer the new kid on the block, it has already become a mature language surrounded by a rich ecosystem of libraries, projects, and tools. Talking about Go is no longer talking about that fancy language that makes your life easier. Go is the gravity centre of a continuously growing ecosystem of amazing solutions maintained by a devoted community of developers. Go was originally designed to simplify the building of complex systems. However, when a developer decides to learn Go most of the learning resources simply explain the language. This book goes one step further by exploring tools, libraries, and projects from the Go ecosystem you can use to build ready-for-production systems. Everything a gopher must know in a single book. I hope you find this book useful.

WHO SHOULD READ THIS BOOK?

This book is oriented to new Go adopters and developers with programming experience in other languages. The first part of this book covers the Go language from its basics to more advanced concepts. The second part assumes these concepts to be known by the reader and explores how to use them with other tools to build systems. If you are new to Go you can start from the beginning. However, if you have some experience you can start with the second part and revisit any basic concept if needed. Or you can simply go and check the chapters at your convenience.

Let's Go Further

This book is written as a follow up to Let’s Go, and we’ll leverage a lot of the information and code patterns from that book again here.

If you’ve already read and enjoyed Let’s Go, then this book should be a good fit for you and the ideal next step in your learning. If you haven’t, then I highly recommend starting with Let’s Go first — especially if you’re a newcomer to Go.

You can read this as a standalone book, but please be aware that it is somewhat advanced — it doesn’t explain the fundamentals in detail, and some topics (like testing) don’t feature at all because they were covered heavily in the previous book. But if you’re comfortable using Go and already have a decent amount of experience behind you, then this book may also be a good fit for you. Feel free to jump straight in.

Generic Data Structures and Algorithms in Go

Advance your understanding of generic data structures and algorithms and their applications using Go and the effective use of concurrency. You are invited on a journey that aims to improve your programming and problem-solving skills. This book takes you to the next step by showing how to get your programs to work efficiently as well as correctly.

As you explore many data structures and the algorithms and applications associated with them, you'll focus on the trade-offs between speed and storage and the benefits of deploying concurrency when appropriate. This book will demonstrate the huge increases in application performance that are possible. The presentation of classic data structures and techniques of algorithm design (greedy, divide and conquer, branch-and-bound to name a few) provides an essential foundation and toolkit for problem solving. But this book goes further by presenting heuristic algorithms and their implementations for solving computationally intractable combinatoric optimization problems such as the travelling salesperson problem. Simulated annealing and genetic algorithms are among the techniques used.

The consistent style of coding used throughout this book exploits Go’s ability to implement abstract, generic and constrained generic data types without the use of classes. Although some familiarity with Go is assumed, this book should advance your ability to use Go to tackle server-side applications, games, machine learning, information retrieval and other application domains where speed and storage efficiency is essential.

What You'll Learn

Explore classical data structures and algorithms aimed at making your applications run faster or require less storage

SQL for Data Science

This textbook explains SQL within the contextof data science and introduces the different parts of SQL as they are needed for the tasks usually carried out during data analysis. Using the framework of the data life cycle, it focuses on the steps that are very often given the short shift in traditional textbooks, like data loading, cleaning and pre-processing.

The book is organized as follows. Chapter 1 describes the data life cycle, i.e. the sequence of stages from data acquisition to archiving, that data goes through as it is prepared and then actually analyzed, together with the different activities that take place at each stage. Chapter 2 gets into databases proper, explaining how relational databases organize data. Non-traditional data, like XML and text, are also covered. Chapter 3 introduces SQL queries, but unlike traditional textbooks, queries and their parts are described around typical data analysis tasks like data exploration, cleaning and transformation. Chapter 4 introduces some basic techniques for data analysis and shows how SQL can be used for some simple analyses without too much complication. Chapter 5 introduces additional SQL constructs that are important in a variety of situations and thus completes the coverage of SQL queries. Lastly, chapter 6 briefly explains how to use SQL from within R and from within Python programs. It focuses on how these languages can interact with a database, and how what has been learned about SQL can be leveraged to make life easier when using R or Python. All chapters contain a lot of examples and exercises on the way, and readers are encouraged to install the two open-source database systems (MySQL and Postgres) that are used throughout the book in order to practice and work on the exercises, because simply reading the book is much less useful than actually usingit.

This book is for anyone interested in data science and/or databases. It just demands a bit of computer fluency, but no specific background on databases or data analysis. All concepts are introduced intuitively and with a minimum of specialized jargon. After going through this book, readers should be able to profitably learn more about data mining, machine learning, and database management from more advanced textbooks and courses.

Assembly Programming and Computer Architecture for Software Engineers

Assembly Programming and Computer Architecture for Software Engineers is an educational examination of Assembly programming and computer architecture. We approach these topics from a practical point of view, addressing why and how questions throughout the text. We begin by laying the foundation of computer language and computer architecture, and then we delve into Assembly programming as a mechanism for gaining a better understanding of computer architecture, and how Assembly can be used for software development.

Most of the existing books on computer architecture have one or more of the following disadvantages: (1) based on a non-mainstream architecture; (2) written for computer and electrical engineers as opposed to computer scientists and software engineers; (3) focused on a single platformspecific development environment; (4) over-priced; and (5) lacking in practical content. We wanted to give our students something better

Ransomware and Cybercrime

In May 2021, Jim Gosler, known as the Godfather and commander of US agencies’ cyber offensive capability, said, ''Either the Intelligence Community (IC) would grow and adapt, or the Internet would eat us alive.'' Mr Gosler was speaking at his retirement only several months before the terrorist attacks of 9/11. He possibly did not realise the catalyst or the tsunami that he and his tens of thousands of US IC offensive website operatives had created and commenced.

Over the last two decades, what Mr Gosler and his army of Internet keyboard warriors created would become the modus operandi for every faceless, nameless, state-sponsored or individual cybercriminal to replicate against an unwary, ill-protected, and ignorant group of executives and security professionals who knew little to nothing about the clandestine methods of infiltration and weaponisation of the Internet that the US and UK agencies led, all in the name of security.

This book covers many cyber and ransomware attacks and events, including how we have gotten to the point of massive digital utilisation, particularly during the global lockdown and COVID-19 pandemic, to online spending that will see twice the monetary amount lost to cybercrime than what is spent online.

There is little to no attribution, and with the IC themselves suffering cyberattacks, they are all blamed on being sophisticated ones, of course. We are witnessing the undermining of our entire way of life, our economies, and even our liberties. The IC has lots to answer for and unequivocally created the disastrous situation we are currently in. They currently have little to no answer. We need―no, we must demand―change. That change must start by ensuring the Internet and all connections to it are secure and no longer allow easy access and exfiltration for both the ICs and cybercriminals.

CSS Flex & Grid

Most of the tutorials on the web teach the concepts of CSS Flexbox and Grid using some coloured blocks. You get introduced to all the CSS properties related to these concepts and how they work. But very rarely you get to see some examples of where and how these are used in the real world. Without understanding the real world application, learning is incomplete.

This book takes a completely different approach. I won't teach you the things flex and grid can do. Instead, I will first show you some components and layouts and make you think how to build them using the CSS concepts you already know. Now you have a problem, and you want a solution. That's when I introduce the concepts you "need" to know.

This is called Problem-Based Learning which will not only keep you motivated throughout the book, but also help you retain the knowledge far better.

Who is this book for?

Whether you are a beginner at CSS who's never heard of flex and grid, or someone who knows all the concepts but finding it hard to implement in real projects, or anywhere in between, this book is for you. Even if you're here to just look at some examples and practise your skills, you will find a great collection here.

Криптография. Как защитить свои данные в цифровом пространстве

Еще до изобретения интернета люди защищали свои данные с помощью кодов. Вплоть до конца XX века шифрование было самым популярным способом защиты секретной информации.

Сегодня криптография окружает нас повсюду: когда мы расплачиваемся банковской картой в магазине, проверяем электронную почту, болтаем с друзьями в мессенджерах и не только.

Каковы последствия подключения к незащищенной сети Wi-Fi?
Неужели так важно иметь разные пароли для разных учетных записей?
Безопасно ли конвертировать деньги в биткоины?
Как происходит утечка данных?
Возможно ли сохранять анонимность в Сети?

На эти и другие вопросы отвечает ведущий эксперт по информационной безопасности Кит Мартин. Он не только развенчивает мифы об опасностях в интернете, но и рассказывает о том, как работает криптография и как использовать ее механизмы на благо собственной цифровой безопасности.

Шифровальщики. Как реагировать на атаки с использованием программ-вымогателей

"Шифровальщики" – это программы, которые находят уязвимости в сетях предприятий, чтобы потом с помощью этих уязвимостей внедриться в сеть, завладеть ценной для предприятия информацией и далее вымогать деньги из руководства компании. Разумеется, программы эти создаются людьми, которые могут как объединяться в преступные группы, так и действовать поодиночке.

В последние годы происходит рост кибератак именно с помощью программ-шифровальщиков. К сожалению, этот тренд не обошел и Россию – здесь количество таких атак только за 2021 год выросло более чем в три (!) раза.

Именно поэтому так кстати в русском переводе выходит книга Олега Скулкина, выдающегося эксперта не только в российской, но и в международной цифровой криминалистике. Автор рассказывает обо всем, что касается шифровальщиков, – от истории атак до цифровых улик. Посреди его повествования вполне естественно выглядят фрагменты программного кода, а кое-где – цветные скриншоты.

По мнению автора (а это мнение основано на более чем десятилетнем опыте работы в сфере информационной безопасности), сети и деньги предприятия можно уберечь, если понимать жизненный цикл атак программ-вымогателей – об этом цикле подробно рассказывается во второй главе книги, а также в последней главе, где автор помогает читателям научиться реконструировать универсальный жизненный цикл атаки, которому подчиняются все шифровальщики, какими бы индивидуальными особенностями они ни отличались.

Особенности:

история атак программ-вымогателей;
как действуют киберпреступники: их тактика, методы и процедуры;
как реагировать на инциденты с программами-вымогателями.

Для студентов, изучающих системное администрирование, системных и сетевых администраторов, а также для специалистов по реагированию и аналитиков киберугроз.

Хакинг на Linux

Данная книга расскажет, как использовать Linux для несанкционированного доступа к информационным системам, или, попросту говоря, для взлома. (Примечание. Материал носит информационный характер и каждый сам решает, как его использовать. Вся ответственность по использованию материала данной книги в противозаконных целях ложится на самого читателя). Первая часть книги показывает, как взломать саму Linux - вы познакомитесь с основами Linux; узнаете, как взломать локальную Linux-систему и получить права root; поговорим о различных уязвимостях в системе шифрования файлов и папок eCryptfs; ну и, в заключение первой части, будет показано как взломать Apache, MySQL, а также CMS WordPress. Вторая часть книги расскажет, как использовать различные инструменты, доступные в Linux, для взлома других систем (в том числе и Linux) - познакомимся с хакерским дистрибутивом Kali Linux и узнаем о лучших инструментах из этого дистрибутива; расскажем как взломать аккаунт в социальной сети; научимся скрывать свою деятельность с помощью Тоr; попробуем взломать Android-приложение посредством инструментов, входящих в состав Linux и еще много чего интересного.

Криминалистика компьютерной памяти на практике

Криминалистика компьютерной памяти – действенный метод анализа, применимый в разных областях, от реагирования на инциденты до анализа вредоносных программ. Он позволяет не только получить представление о контексте пользователя, но и искать уникальные следы вредоносных программ, а иногда и полностью реконструировать сложную целевую атаку.

Авторы книги знакомят читателя с современными концепциями активного поиска угроз и исследования передового вредоносного ПО с применением свободно распространяемых инструментов и фреймворков для анализа памяти.

В издании принят практический подход, используются образы памяти из реальных инцидентов. Это позволяет лучше понять предмет и наработать навыки, необходимые для реагирования на инциденты и расследования сложных целевых атак. Рассматриваются элементы внутреннего устройства Windows, Linux и macOS, изучаются методы и инструменты для обнаружения, исследования и активного поиска угроз методами криминалистики.

Прочтя книгу, вы сможете самостоятельно создавать и анализировать дампы памяти, изучать действия пользователя, искать следы бесфайловых атак и реконструировать действия злоумышленников.

PostgreSQL 15 изнутри

Эта книга для тех, кого не устраивает работа с базой данных как с черным ящиком. Если вы любознательны, не довольствуетесь авторитетными советами и хотите во всем разобраться сами — нам по пути.

Я ориентируюсь на читателей, имеющих некоторый опыт использования PostgreSQL и хотя бы в общих чертах представляющих себе, что к чему. Надеюсь, что книга будет полезной и тем, кто хорошо знаком с устройством другой СУБД, но переходит на PostgreSQL и хочет разобраться в отличиях.

Здесь вы не найдете готовых рецептов. Ведь на все случаи жизни их все равно не хватит, а понимание внутренней механики позволяет критически переосмысливать чужой опыт и делать собственные выводы. Именно поэтому я объясняю, как что устроено, возможно даже более подробно, чем на первый взгляд может показаться практичным.

Большая часть сведений будет актуальна еще довольно долго, но отдельные детали устаревают с неумолимой быстротой — отсюда и номер версии на обложке. Обдумывайте, экспериментируйте, проверяйте. В PostgreSQL для этого есть все инструменты, и я старался показать, как ими пользоваться.

В настоящем издании учтены замечания читателей и исправлены опечатки, а также отражены изменения, произошедшие в версии PostgreSQL 15.

Шпаргалки для начинающего верстальщика HTML/CSS

Когда я только начинала учить верстку, я записалась на бесплатные курсы по основам HTML/CSS на одной достаточно известной платформе, дополнительно я читала книгу Э. Робсон, Э. Фримена «Изучаем HTML, XHTML и CSS (Head First)».

Все было отлично до того момента, пока я не сделала попытку сверстать небольшую простенькую веб-страницу самостоятельно. Оказывается пройденные курсы и прочитанная книга – это было зря потраченное время, так как информация, которую, например, мне дали курсы, была дана кусочками, дозировано, вследствие чего у меня совершенно не сложилось целостное понимание как и что я должна делать.

Да я уже знала основные теги в HTML, у меня были базовые знания CSS, но только теоретические, применять их в реальности на примере реальной веб-страницы я не умела.

Так пришла идея проанализировать основные типовые решения, типовой код, который используется при верстке веб-страницы и сформировать шпаргалку, с помощью которой я могу действительно верстать сайты, а не выполнять теоретические задачи из заданий курса, на которые в итоге я лишь трачу свое драгоценное время.

Надеюсь мои шпаргалки помогут таким же начинающим верстальщикам сформировать понимание логики и структуры работы над версткой и продвигаться далее в этот интересный захватывающий мир веб-разработки.

Также прошу учесть, что предложенные пути решения той или иной проблемы, имеют и иные варианты, здесь указаны самые простые для понимания, чтобы новичок мог сам понять и усвоить нужные действия и решения, а далее, с опытом смог их самостоятельно усложнять/ упрощать.

Итак, начинаем!

Функциональное программирование на JavaScript

В сложных веб-приложениях низкоуровневые детали JavaScript-кода могут затруднить анализ программы и повлиять на работоспособность системы в целом. Функциональное программирование (ФП) как стиль написания кода способствует слабо связанным отношениям между отдельными компонентами приложений и позволяет составить общее представление о проекте, упростить его разработку, общение с заказчиками и сопровождение.

В этой книге поясняются методики усовершенствования веб-приложений, влияющие в том числе на их расширяемость, модульность, повторное использование и тестируемость, а также производительность. В удобной для чтения форме на конкретных примерах и доходчивых пояснениях демонстрируется, как пользоваться методиками ФП на практике. Начинающие осваивать ФП по достоинству оценят немало удачных примеров сравнения ФП с императивным и объектно-ориентированным программированием, что позволяет лучше понять особенности функционального проектирования. Прочитав эту книгу, читатель научится осмысливать свои проекты функционально, а возможно, дорастет и до понимания монад!

Основные темы книги:

Применение ценных методик ФП на практике и там, где это наиболее целесообразно
Отделение логики системы от подробностей ее реализации
Обработка ошибок, тестирование и отладка прикладного кода в стиле ФП
Демонстрация и обсуждение всех примеров кода на JavaScript, написанных по стандарту ES6 (ES 2015)

Книга адресована разработчикам, твердо усвоившим основы программирования на JavaScript и обладающим достаточным опытом проектирования веб-приложений.

Object-Oriented Python

This book is about a software development technique called objectoriented programming (OOP) and how it can be used with Python. Before OOP, programmers used an approach known as procedural programming, also called structured programming, which involves building a set of functions (procedures) and passing data around through calls to those functions. The OOP paradigm gives programmers an efficient way to combine code and data into cohesive units that are often highly reusable.

In preparation for writing this book, I extensively researched existing literature and videos, looking specifically at the approaches taken to explain this important and wide-ranging topic. I found that instructors and writers typically start by defining certain key terms: class, instance variable, method, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and so on.

While these are all important concepts, and I’ll cover all of them in depth in this book, I’ll begin in a different way: by considering the question, “What problem are we solving?” That is, if OOP is the solution, then what is the problem? To answer this question, I’ll start by presenting a few examples of programs built using procedural programming and identifying complications inherent in this style. Then I’ll show you how an object- oriented approach can make the construction of such programs much easier and the programs themselves more maintainable.

Combine: Asynchronous Programming with Swift. 3 ed

Writing asynchronous code can be challenging, with a variety of possible interfaces to represent, perform, and consume asynchronous work — delegates, notification center, KVO, closures, etc. Juggling all of these different mechanisms can be somewhat overwhelming. Does it have to be this hard? Not anymore!

In this book, you'll learn about Combine — Apple’s framework to work with asynchronous events in a unified and reactive way that ensures your app is always up to date based on the latest state of its data.

Who This Book Is For

This book is for intermediate iOS developers who already know the basics of iOS and Swift development but are interested in learning declarative/reactive programming and take their app and state management to the next level.

You'll also find this book interesting if you're interested in SwiftUI — as many of the reactive capabilities keeping your SwiftUI views up-to-date are built on top of Combine.

Topics Covered in Combine: Asynchronous Programming with Swift

What & Why: Learn what is Combine and reactive programming and the problems they solve, and how you can unify all of your asynchronous piece of work.
Operators: Learn how to compose, transform, filter and otherwise manipulate different pieces of asynchronous work using operators.
In Practice: You'll gain knowledge on various topics and techniques you'll leverage when writing your own real-life apps, as well as practice these techniques with actual hands-on apps and projects.
SwiftUI: You'll learn about how Combine is deeply rooted within SwiftUI and provides it with the ability to reactively update its views based on the state of your app.
Advanced Combine: Once you've got a handle on the basics, you'll dive into advanced Combine topics such as Error Handling, Schedulers, and Custom Publishers.

By the end of this book, you'll be a pro in building full-fledged applications using Combine's various abilities.

SQL Pocket Primer

This book is primarily for data scientists and machine learning engineers who want to expand their current knowledge of SQL using MySQL as the primary RDBMS. While this book does contain relevant information for novices in other fields, the structure of this book differs from typical database books.

In addition, this book attempts to balance depth and breadth, along with a decent number of SQL statements to illustrate the important features of SQL. Although it’s not possible to describe the exact set of features that constitute basic, intermediate, and advanced SQL queries (i.e., opinions will differ), this book contains SQL examples that belong to each of those three groups.

At the same time, remember that some topics in the final chapter are presented in a cursory manner, which is for two main reasons. First, although you don’t need an in-depth understanding of every facet of SQL and RDBMSs, it’s important that you be aware of these concepts if you plan to become highly proficient in managing database data. In addition, you will be in a better position to plan an itinerary for the set of topics that you will learn at some point in the future.

Second, a full treatment of every topic in this book would significantly increase the page count, and it’s debatable whether all the additional details would be beneficial to you as a machine learning engineer or a data scientist.

ASP.NET Core and Vue.js

Vue.js 3 is faster and smaller than the previous version, and TypeScript's full support out of the box makes it a more maintainable and easier-to-use version of Vue.js. Then, there's ASP.NET Core 5, which is the fastest .NET web framework today. Together, Vue.js for the frontend and ASP.NET Core 5 for the backend make a powerful combination. This book follows a hands-on approach to implementing practical methodologies for building robust applications using ASP.NET Core 5 and Vue.js 3. The topics here are not in depth, and the book is intended for busy .NET developers who have limited time and want a quick implementation of a clean architecture with popular libraries.

You'll start by setting up your web app's backend, guided by clean architecture, Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), mediator patterns, and Entity Framework Core 5. The book then shows you how to build the frontend application using best practices, state management with Vuex, Vuetify UI component libraries, Vuelidate for input validations, lazy loading with Vue Router, and JWT authentication. Later, you'll focus on testing and deployment, performing tasks such as load testing in ASP.NET Core 5 and deploying containerized apps to the cloud. All the tutorials in this book support Windows 10, macOS, and Linux users.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to build an enterprise full-stack web app, use the most common npm packages for Vue.js and NuGet packages for ASP.NET Core, and deploy Vue.js and ASP.NET Core to Azure App Service using GitHub Actions.

Who this book is for

This book is for busy .NET developers who want to get started with Vue.js and build full-stack real-world enterprise web applications. Developers looking to build a proofof-concept application quickly and pragmatically using their existing knowledge of ASP. NET Core, as well as developers who want to write readable and maintainable code using TypeScript and the C# programming language will also find this book useful. The book assumes intermediate-level .NET knowledge, along with an understanding of C# programming, JavaScript, and ECMAScript.

Beginning Go Programming

Developed by Google in 2007, Go (aka GoLang) is a programming language designed with simplicity and speed as its focus. The design goals of Go were to create a simple and readable syntax of a dynamically-typed, high-level language programming language like Python, but also have the stability and efficiency of a statically-typed low-level language like C/C++. Supported by Google, Go is an open-source programming language and is easier to learn and get started with. It has built-in support for concurrency, a robust standard library, type safety, multiple built-in types, dynamictyping capability, garbage collection, and several other advanced features, such as key-value maps and variable-length arrays. Go has the power to let you leverage the might that multi-core processors have to offer, which results in faster-running programs.

The Art of Modern PHP 8

I've had the great pleasure of seeing PHP grow; from a somewhat amateur, and often mocked, language that exploded in popularity, punching way above its weight and powering huge swathes of the burgeoning web into a modern and highly performant language that is often used to power large-scale enterprise systems.

With the release of PHP 8, and the upcoming (at the time of writing) release of PHP 8.1, we can really see a bright future for PHP.

You will first read about object-oriented programming (OOP) in PHP, starting with the basics and then going on to more advanced topics. You will work through modern programming techniques, such as inheritance, contrasting this with composition, and finally looking at more advanced language features. You will learn about the MVC pattern by building your own toy MVC system. In addition to this, you'll explore what a dependency injection (DI) container does by building a toy DI container. Later chapters will give you an overview of Composer and will explain how to create reusable PHP packages with it. You'll also find techniques to deploy these packages effectively so that other developers can use them.

By the end of this PHP book, you will have gained a rounded understanding of some of the fundamentals of modern PHP and will have the grounding you need to be able to update your code.

Java Persistence with Spring Data and Hibernate

I am fortunate to have been in the IT industry for more than 25 years. I started programming in C++ and Delphi in my student years and the first years of my career. I made the step from my mathematics background as a teenager to computer science and continuously tried to keep both sides in my mind.

In 2000, my attention turned for the first time to the Java programming language. It was very new then, but many people were predicting a great future for it. I was part of a development team for online games, and the particular technology we worked with was applets, which was extremely fashionable during those years. Behind the application, the program needed to access a database, and our team spent some time developing the logic to access and interact with the database. Things such as ORM weren’t used yet, but we were able to develop our own library to interact with the database, shaping the incipient ideas of ORM.

After 2004, I spent more than 90% of my time working with Java. It was the dawn of a new era for me, and things like code refactoring, unit testing, and object/relational mapping were becoming normal in our professional lives.

Currently, there are a lot of Java programs that access databases and rely on higherlevel techniques and frameworks, such as JPA, Hibernate, and Spring Data. The old days of working with JDBC are hardly remembered. One of my activities as Java and Web Technologies Expert and Java Chapter Lead at Luxoft is to conduct courses on Java persistence topics and to coach my colleagues regarding the topic.

Введение в язык программирования Ada

В 1970-х годах Министерство обороны Соединенных Штатов (МО) столкнулось с серьезной проблемой резкого увеличения числа языков программирования, заметив, что различные проекты использовали разные и нестандартные диалекты, языковые подмножества и расширения языков. Что бы решить эту проблему, Министерство обороны запустило конкурс на разработку нового современного языка программирования общего назначения. Победителем вышло предложение, представленное Жаном Ичбией из CII Honeywell-Bull.

Первый стандарт языка Ада был выпущен в 1983 году; впоследствии он был пересмотрен и усовершенствован в 1995, 2005 и 2012 годах, причем каждый пересмотр приносил новые полезные функции.

Этот учебник посвящен Ада 2012 в целом и не освещает различия прошлых версий языка.

Ruby для романтиков

Дружественная книга по языку Руби, которая написана простым и понятным языком. Более 400 страниц последовательного материала позволит ученику освоить тонкости языка в удобной игровой форме.

Язык Руби (Ruby — англ.) и веб-программирование — это нечто среднее между «поскорее найти работу», «выучить что-нибудь несложное и интересное» и «чтобы также пригодилось в будущем». Руби не только позволяет составлять скучные программы, работая на кого-то в офисе, но также может быть полезен дома, в быту (одна из моих последних программ — обучение игре на гитаре).

Data Structure and Algorithms With Python

Computers store and process data with an extra ordinary speed and accuracy. So, it is highly essential that the data is stored efficiently and can be accessed fast. Also, the processing of data should happen in the smallest possible time, but without losing the accuracy.
Data structures deal with how the data is organised and held in the memory, when a program processes it. It is important to note that, the data that is stored in the disk as part of persistent storages (like relational tables) are not referred as data structure here.

An Algorithm is step by step set of instruction to process the data for a specific purpose. So, an algorithm utilises various data structures in a logical way to solve a specific computing problem.

In this book, we will cover these two fundamental concepts of computer science using the Python programming language.

This book is designed for Computer Science graduates as well as Software Professionals who are willing to learn data structures and algorithm programming in simple and easy steps using Python as a programming language.

Разработка IoT для ESP32 и ESP8266 с помощью JavaScript

В этой книге представлен новый способ создания программ для продуктов IoT — способ, при котором не нужно пытаться изобретать велосипед, начиная все сначала. Он добавляет один новый инструмент к многим, которые разработчики встраиваемых программ использовали годами: язык программирования JavaScript. Может показаться преувеличением предположение, что язык программирования может преобразовать программы продукта IoT, но это возможно. Современный язык высокого уровня — идеальное противоядие от низкоуровневых методов разработки, которым уже несколько десятков лет. JavaScript может показаться маловероятной отправной точкой для будущих поколений продуктов IoT. В концеконцов, JavaScript начинался как простой язык программирования, чтобы добавить немного интерактивности веб-страницам назаре Интернета. Нопо мереразвития сети JavaScript развивался вместес ней; теперь этоофициально определенный язык программирования, стандартизированный международным комитетом, в который входят представители крупных компаний, включая Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Mozilla и PayPal. Язык был защищен двумя десятилетиями атак в веб-браузере. Он стал мощным благодаря требованиям все болеесложных веб-страниц. Крометого, он стал надежным и простым в использовании, чтобы удовлетворить потребности миллионов веб-разработчиков повсему миру.

Разработчики, работающиена JavaScript, невероятнопродуктивны и проворны. Через несколькочасов послестихийного бедствия появляются новыевеб-сайты с впечатляющими функциями, реализованными на JavaScript. Крупныевеб-сайты, такиекак Facebook и LinkedIn, непросто построены на JavaScript, но и ежедневновнедряют новые функции с помощью JavaScript. Серверный JavaScript с Node.js теперь поддерживает целыекомпании, и многие мобильныеприложения созданы на JavaScript.

JavaScript готов к использованию разработчиками IoT. Этакнига подготавливаетразработчиков Интернетавещей к использованию JavaScript.

Программируй на Haskell

Языки программирования зачастую отличаются лишь отдельными элементами — несколько ключевых слов, библиотек или платформенных решений. Haskell формирует абсолютно новую точку зрения. По мнению пионера программного обеспечения Алана Кэя, смена перспективы может дать 80 баллов IQ, и разработчики на Haskell соглашаются с исключительными преимуществами мышления в стиле Haskell: функционального мышления с ориентацией на типобезопасность, математическую определённость и многое другое.

Introduction to Java Programming and Data Structures

A fundamentals-first approach prepares students to learn object-oriented programing and advanced Java programming by first building foundational skills.
The title has been changed to Introduction to Java Programming and Data Structures, Comprehensive to more accurately reflect the depth and breadth of coverage Liang provides. The Comprehensive edition contains coverage of all subjects taught in a typical data structures and algorithms course.
The fundamental concepts and techniques of loops, methods, and arrays are introduced before objects and classes. This instructs new programmers in the essential skills to succeed. A good introduction on primitive data types, control statements, methods, and arrays prepares students to learn object-oriented programming.
Strings are covered early in the text to allow students to use objects and strings to develop interesting programs early.
UPDATED to Java 8 and 9. Examples and exercises are improved and simplified by using the new features in Java 8 and 9.
Object-oriented chapter focus addresses the difficulty students have with adapting to the object-oriented paradigm by focusing on class design. Several examples are used to demonstrate the advantages of object-oriented programming so that students learn how and when to apply OOP concepts effectively.
Bonus chapters that cover advanced data structures such as 2-4 trees, B-trees, and red-black trees.
The book allows for flexible chapter orderings to enable GUI, exception handling, recursion, generics, and the Java Collections Framework to be covered earlier or later.
With a problem-driven focus, students learn to approach programming as a method for problem solving rather than syntax.
Programming, data structures, and algorithms are seamlessly integrated into one text. This practical approach to teaching data structures covers how to use and implement various data structures to develop efficient algorithms, before introducing custom data structures for trees and graphs.
Examples and exercises emphasize problem solving and the need to develop reusable components to create practical projects.
NEW! JavaFX replaces all GUI examples and exercises. JavaFX is a new framework for developing Java GUI programs that greatly simplifies GUI programs and is easier to learn than Swing.
Math functions are introduced early to enable students to write code using math functions.
Pedagogical features foster student interest in introductory programming and appeal to students in all majors Engaging Problems introduce each chapter and are solved within the chapter. The book uses a wide variety of problems with various levels of difficulty to motivate students. The problems cover many application areas in gaming, math, business, science, animation, and multimedia. Clear chapter objectives list what students should learn from the chapter. This helps them determine whether they have met the objectives after completing the chapter.
Key Points, Check Points, and chapter summaries for each chapter highlight important concepts and allow students to track their progress, evaluate, and reinforce their learning.
Notes, tips, cautions, and design guides, inserted throughout the text, offer valuable advice and insight on important aspects of program development.
Programming exercises provide students with opportunities to apply the new skills they have learned on their own. Difficulty levels are rated as easy (no asterisk), moderate (*), hard (**), or challenging (***).
Problems and case studies, carefully chosen and presented in an easy-to-follow style, teach problem solving and programming concepts. The book uses many small, simple, and stimulating examples to demonstrate important ideas.

Practical Cryptography in Python

Develop a greater intuition for the proper use of cryptography. This book teaches the basics of writing cryptographic algorithms in Python, demystifies cryptographic internals, and demonstrates common ways cryptography is used incorrectly. Cryptography is the lifeblood of the digital world’s security infrastructure. From governments around the world to the average consumer, most communications are protected in some form or another by cryptography. These days, even Google searches are encrypted. Despite its ubiquity, cryptography is easy to misconfigure, misuse, and misunderstand. Developers building cryptographic operations into their applications are not typically experts in the subject, and may not fully grasp the implication of different algorithms, modes, and other parameters. The concepts in this book are largely taught by example, including incorrect uses of cryptography and how "bad" cryptography can be broken. By digging into the guts of cryptography, you can experience what works, what doesn't, and why.

What You’ll Learn:

Understand where cryptography is used, why, and how it gets misused.
Know what secure hashing is used for and its basic properties.
Get up to speed on algorithms and modes for block ciphers such as AES, and see how bad configurations break.
Use message integrity and/or digital signatures to protect messages.
Utilize modern symmetric ciphers such as AES-GCM and CHACHA.
Practice the basics of public key cryptography, including ECDSA signatures.
Discover how RSA encryption can be broken if insecure padding is used.
Employ TLS connections for secure communications.
Find out how certificates work and modern improvements such as certificate pinning and certificate transparency (CT) logs.

Who This Book Is For:

IT administrators and software developers familiar with Python. Although readers may have some knowledge of cryptography, the book assumes that the reader is starting from scratch.

Intro to Python for Computer Science and Data Science

A groundbreaking, flexible approach to computer science and data science.

The Deitels’ Introduction to Python for Computer Science and Data Science: Learning to Program with AI, Big Data and the Cloud offers a unique approach to teaching introductory Python programming, appropriate for both computer-science and data-science audiences. Providing the most current coverage of topics and applications, the book is paired with extensive traditional supplements as well as Jupyter Notebooks supplements. Real-world datasets and artificial-intelligence technologies allow students to work on projects making a difference in business, industry, government and academia. Hundreds of examples, exercises, projects (EEPs), and implementation case studies give students an engaging, challenging and entertaining introduction to Python programming and hands-on data science.

The book's modular architecture enables instructors to conveniently adapt the text to a wide range of computer-science and data-science courses offered to audiences drawn from many majors. Computer-science instructors can integrate as much or as little data-science and artificial-intelligence topics as they'd like, and data-science instructors can integrate as much or as little Python as they'd like. The book aligns with the latest ACM/IEEE CS-and-related computing curriculum initiatives and with the Data Science Undergraduate Curriculum Proposal sponsored by the National Science Foundation.

Artificial Intelligence with Python. 2 ed

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have placed great power into the hands of humans. With great power comes a proportional level of responsibility. Self-driving cars, chatbots, and increasingly accurate predictions of the future are but a few examples of AI's ability to supercharge humankind's capacity for growth and advancement.

AI is becoming a core, transformative path that is changing the way we think about every aspect of our lives. It is impacting industry. It is becoming pervasive and embedded in our everyday lives. Most excitingly, this is a field that is still in its infancy: the AI revolution has only just begun.

As we collect more and more data and tackle that data with better and faster algorithms, we can use AI to build increasingly accurate models and to answer increasingly complex, previously intractable questions.

From this, it will come as no surprise that the ability to work with and fully utilize AI will be a skill that is set only to increase in value. In this book, we explore various real-world scenarios and learn how to apply relevant AI algorithms to a wide swath of problems.

The book starts with the most basic AI concepts and progressively builds on these concepts to solve increasingly difficult problems. It will use the initial knowledge gleaned during the beginning chapters as a foundation to allow the reader to explore and tackle some of the more complicated problems in AI. By the end of the book, the reader will have gained a solid understanding of many AI techniques and will have gained confidence about when to use these techniques.

We will start by talking about various realms of AI. We'll then move on to discuss more complex algorithms, such as extremely random forests, Hidden Markov Models, genetic algorithms, artificial neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and so on.

Введение в язык C++. 5 изд

Краткое введение в язык Си++. Содержание построено по принципу плавного перехода от средств чистого Си: в начале даётся определение ООП как парадигмы, основанной на обмене сообщениями, затем вводится метод для обычной открытой структуры, уже после этого рассказывается о защите и её предназначении, затем (поскольку теперь это необходимо) вводятся конструкторы и деструкторы, и т.д. Так называемая "стандартная библиотека" Си++ (известная также под названием STL) в книге не упоминается вообще, поскольку если начать изучение Си++ с STL, есть риск никогда не узнать сам язык. Для ввода-вывода в примерах используются функции библиотеки Си (printf и др.) Кроме того, в книге сознательно игнорируются все «усовершенствования», предлагаемые авторами так называемых «стандартов».

Flutter Cookbook

This book contains over 100 short recipes that will help you learn Flutter by example. These recipes cover the most important Flutter features that will allow you to develop realworld apps. In every recipe, you will learn and immediately use some of the tools that make Flutter so successful: widgets, state management, asynchronous programming, connecting to web services, persisting data, creating animations, using Firebase and machine learning, and developing responsive apps that work on different platforms, including desktop and the web.

Flutter is a developer-friendly, open source toolkit created by Google that you can use to create applications for Android and iOS mobile devices, and now that Flutter 2.2 has been released, you can also use the same code base for the web and desktop.

There are 15 chapters in this book, which you can read independently from one another: each chapter contains recipes that highlight and leverage a single Flutter feature. You can choose to follow the flow of the book or skip to any chapter if you feel confident with the concepts introduced in earlier chapters.

Flutter uses Dart as a programming language. Chapter 2, Dart: A Language You Already Know, is an introduction to Dart, its syntax, and its patterns, and it gives you the necessary knowledge to be productive when using Dart in Flutter.

In later chapters, you'll see recipes that go beyond basic examples; you will be able to play with code and get hands-on experience in using basic, intermediate, and advanced Flutter tools.

Get programming with F#

This book takes a practical look at how to start using functional programming techniques with F# in production applications, using frameworks, libraries, and tools that you’re already familiar with, as well as exploring F#-specific libraries that open up all sorts of interesting options that aren’t possible today in C# and VB .NET.

It’s important to note from the outset that this book won’t teach you everything about the F# language. Instead, we’ll focus on a core subset of the language that gives you the most effective return for your investment; where there’s further learning available that could be worthwhile for you, I’ll point it out. You won’t learn everything about functional programming, either; again, we’ll concentrate on the most important fundamentals from which the more advanced techniques and practices will naturally reveal themselves to you over time. So, if you’re expecting to learn the ins and outs of functors, monads, and applicatives, this book isn’t for you. If, on the other hand, you want to learn the parts that will enable you to achieve the same qualities in software that you strive for already, without spending time learning the inner workings of exactly why things work from a theoretical point of view, then keep reading!

If you’re an enterprise developer on .NET, it’s likely that you’re looking to see how F# can provide tangible benefits to you in the minimum amount of time. This book focuses on showing you things that you can start using today with F#, be they frameworks that you might already know, or F#-specific libraries designed to take full advantage of F#’s powerful type system that will provide real-world benefits over existing libraries. As such, this book focuses on using Visual Studio on Windows as the primary development platform, although you can use almost (but not all) of the libraries mentioned here through other IDEs and OSs.

Stylish F#

There are three distinct philosophies that you can apply to computer programming. You can think of programming as a science, where the measure of progress is how well you discover and reflect fundamental mathematical concepts in your code. You can think of it as a discipline, where you seek to establish and follow rules about how code should be written and organized. Or, best of all, you can think of it as a craft, where, yes, you apply some of the science and some of the discipline; but you leaven those with a generous helping of human creativity. To do this successfully, you need a fair bit of experience, because crafting something is an inherently intuitive process. This book aims to get you to a level where you can craft code confidently. It does this by distilling and passing on my own experience of writing F# systems in numerous different industries over the past eight years.

Before you start this book, you’ll need at least some knowledge of F# syntax and concepts. Maybe you’ve read some of the wide range of beginner material that’s available, and probably you’ll have written at least a few simple F# programs yourself. You may well have deeper experience of other languages and environments, such as C# and .NET. That said, I have framed the book so that C# knowledge is not a hard prerequisite: I learned F# before I learned C#, and if I can do it, so can you! Also you definitely don’t need any background in Computer Science or functional programming. I don’t have even a trace of formal education in either of these areas.

Learn Data Analysis with Python

If you are already using Python for data analysis, just browse this book’s table of contents. You will probably find a bunch of things that you wish you knew how to do in Python. If so, feel free to turn directly to that chapter and get to work. Each lesson is, as much as possible, self-contained.

Be warned! This book is more a workbook than a textbook

If you aren’t using Python for data analysis, begin at the beginning. If you work your way through the whole workbook, you should have a better of idea of how to use Python for data analysis when you are done.

If you know nothing at all about data analysis, this workbook might not be the place to start. However, give it a try and see how it works for you.

RxSwift: Reactive Programming with Swift

This book is for iOS developers who already feel comfortable with iOS and Swift, and want to dive deep into development with RxSwift.

If you’re a complete beginner to iOS, we suggest you first read through the latest edition of the iOS Apprentice. That will give you a solid foundation of building iOS apps with Swift from the ground up but you might still need to learn more about intermediate level iOS development before you can work through all chapters in this book.

If you know the basics of iOS development but are new to Swift, we suggest you read through Swift Apprentice first, which goes through the features of Swift using playgrounds to teach the language.

iOS 11 by Tutorials

This book is for intermediate or advanced iOS developers who already know the basics of iOS and Swift development but want to learn about the new APIs, frameworks, and changes in Xcode 9 and iOS 11.

If you are a complete beginner to iOS development, we recommend you read through The iOS Apprentice, Fifth Edition first. Otherwise this book may be a bit too advanced for you.
If you are a beginner to Swift, we recommend you read through either The iOS Apprentice, Fifth Edition (if you are a complete beginner to programming), or The Swift Apprentice, Second Edition (if you already have some programming experience) first.

Swift 4 for Absolute Beginners. 4 Ed

This book assumes you may have never programmed before. The book is also written for someone who may have never programmed before using object-oriented programming (OOP) languages. There are many Swift books out there, but all of these books assume you have programmed before and know OOP and computer logic. We wanted to write a book that takes readers from knowing little or nothing about computer programming and logic to being able to program in Swift. After all, Swift is a native programming language for the iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Over the last eight years, we have taught thousands of students at xcelMe.com to be iOS (iPhone/iPad) developers. Many of our students have developed some of the most successful iOS apps in their category in the App Store. We have incorporated what we have learned in our first two courses, Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and Logic and Swift for iPhone/iPad Developers, into this book.

Introduction to Deep Learning Using R

It is assumed that all readers have at least an elementary understanding of statistical or computer programming, specifically with respect to the R programming language. Those who do not will find it much more difficult to follow the sections of this book which give examples of code to use, and it is suggested that they return to this text upon gaining that information.

Understand deep learning, the nuances of its different models, and where these models can be applied.

The abundance of data and demand for superior products/services have driven the development of advanced computer science techniques, among them image and speech recognition. Introduction to Deep Learning Using R provides a theoretical and practical understanding of the models that perform these tasks by building upon the fundamentals of data science through machine learning and deep learning. This step-by-step guide will help you understand the disciplines so that you can apply the methodology in a variety of contexts. All examples are taught in the R statistical language, allowing students and professionals to implement these techniques using open source tools.

What You'll Learn

Understand the intuition and mathematics that power deep learning models
Utilize various algorithms using the R programming language and its packages
Use best practices for experimental design and variable selection
Practice the methodology to approach and effectively solve problems as a data scientist
Evaluate the effectiveness of algorithmic solutions and enhance their predictive power

Who This Book Is For

Students, researchers, and data scientists who are familiar with programming using R. This book also is also of use for those who wish to learn how to appropriately deploy these algorithms in applications where they would be most useful.

Mastering Parallel Programming with R

This book is for the intermediate to advanced-level R developer who wants to understand how to harness the power of parallel computing to perform long running computations and analyze large quantities of data. You will require a reasonable knowledge and understanding of R programming. You should be a sufficiently capable programmer so that you can read and understand lower-level languages, such as C/C++, and be familiar with the process of code compilation. You may consider yourself to be the new breed of data scientist—a skilled programmer as well as a mathematician.

What you need for this book

To run the code in this book, you will require a multicore modern specification laptop or desktop computer. You will also require a decent bandwidth Internet connection to download R and the various R code libraries from CRAN, the main online repository for R packages.

The examples in this book have largely been developed using RStudio version 0.98.1062, with the 64-bit R version 3.1.0 (CRAN distribution), running on a mid-2014 generation Apple MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.4, with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 16 GB of memory. However, all of these examples should also work with the latest version of R.

Some of the examples in this book will not be able to run with Microsoft Windows, but they should run without problem on variants of Linux. Each chapter will detail any required additional external libraries or runtime system requirements, and provide you with information on how to access and install them. This book's errata section will highlight any issues discovered post publication.

Kotlin Multiplatform by Tutorials

If your goal is to leverage Kotlin to share code among your native apps, this is the book for you.

Maintaining multiple native apps with duplicated code can be a time-consuming process. This duplication also increases the testing effort, eventually slowing down the project and increasing costs.

You can use Kotlin Multiplatform to share code between your Android, iOS and desktop apps but there are multiple considerations. You should be able to develop the UI natively using the framework of your choice. Using the right frameworks can drastically reduce the UI development time and provide you with flexible APIs.

At the same time, you need to figure out how Kotlin Multiplatform fits in with your current architecture and how you can access platform-specific APIs. Choosing the right architecture can make your app testable, maintainable and easy to work with.

Then you need to figure out which layers of your app you can migrate to a shared module and how you can use different libraries to assist this migration. Finally, you should be able to publish and share your shared module so that you can use it across apps on multiple platforms.

Java. Оптимизация программ

Настройка производительности — наука экспериментальная, но это не означает, что инженеры должны прибегать к догадкам и фольклору, чтобы выполнить свою работу (хотя часто случается именно так). С помощью этой практической книги разработчики средней и высокой квалификации, работающие со сложными стеками технологий, научатся настраивать высокую производительность Java-приложений, используя количественный, поддающийся проверке подход.

В большинстве информационных ресурсов о производительности, как правило, обсуждаются теория и внутреннее устройство виртуальных машин Java, но в этой книге основное внимание уделяется практическим возможностям настройки производительности путем изучения широкого ряда аспектов. В книге нет простых рецептов, советов и трюков или алгоритмов. Настройка производительности — это процесс внесения изменений и измерения полученных результатов, требующий усердия.

Узнайте, как принципы и технологии Java наилучшим образом используют современные аппаратные средства и операционные системы
Исследуйте различные тесты производительности и распространенные антипаттерны, которые могут завести вашу команду в тупик
Изучите ловушки измерений показателей производительности Java и недостатки микротестирования
Погрузитесь в сборку мусора, протоколирование, мониторинг, настройки и инструменты JVM

Изучите аспекты производительности API-коллекций и вопросы параллельных вычислений в Java

Алгоритмы и структуры данных

Изучите, как следует реализовывать эффективные алгоритмы на основе важнейших структур данных на языке Java, а также как измерять производительность этих алгоритмов. Каждая глава сопровождается упражнениями, помогающими закрепить материал.

Научитесь работать со структурами данных, например, со списками и словарями, разберитесь, как они работают
Напишите приложение, которое читает страницы Википедии, выполняет синтаксический разбор и обеспечивает навигацию по полученному дереву данных
Анализируйте код и учитесь прогнозировать, как быстро он будет работать и сколько памяти при этом потреблять
Пишите классы, реализующие интерфейс Map, пользуйтесь при этом хеш-таблицей и двоичным деревом поиска
Создайте простой веб-поисковик с собственным поисковым роботом: он будет индексировать веб-страницы, сохранять их содержимое и возвращать нужные результаты

Современный Java: рецепты программирования

Включение средств функционального программирования в Java ознаменовало революционное изменение достопочтенного объектно-ориентированного языка. Лямбда-выражения, ссылки на методы и потоки принципиально изменили идиомы языка. С тех пор многие разработчики стараются не отстать от жизни. И в этом поможет настоящий сборник рецептов. На примере более 70 подробных рецептов Кен Коузен демонстрирует использование новых возможностей языка для решения широкого круга задач.

Разработчики, хорошо знакомые с предыдущими версиями Java, найдут здесь почти все нововведения, появившиеся в Java SE 8, а также отдельную главу, посвященную новшествам в Java 9. Хотите понять, как функциональные идиомы могут изменить подход к написанию кода? Тогда эта книга — буквально набитая конкретными примерами — для вас.

Modern Java Recipes

The recipes in this book assume that the typical reader already is comfortable with Java versions prior to Java SE 8. You don’t need to be an expert, and some older con‐ cepts are reviewed, but the book is not intended to be a beginner’s guide to Java or object-oriented programming. If you have used Java on a project before and you are familiar with the standard library, you’ll be fine.

This book covers almost all of Java SE 8, and includes one chapter focused on the new changes coming in Java 9. If you need to understand how the new functional idioms added to the language will change the way you write code, this book is a use-casedriven way of accomplishing that goal.

Java is pervasive on the server side, with a rich support system of open source libra‐ ries and tools. The Spring Framework and Hibernate are two of the most popular open source frameworks, and both either require Java 8 as a minimum or will very soon. If you plan to operate in this ecosystem, this book is for you.

Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. 2 Ed

Software is at the core of so many of the tools we use today: nearly everyone uses social networks to communicate, many people have internet-connected computers in their phones, and most office jobs involve interacting with a computer to get work done. As a result, the demand for people who can code has skyrocketed. Countless books, interactive web tutorials, and developer boot camps promise to turn ambitious beginners into software engineers with six-figure salaries.

This book is not for those people. It’s for everyone else.

On its own, this book won’t turn you into a professional software developer any more than a few guitar lessons will turn you into a rock star. But if you’re an office worker, administrator, academic, or anyone else who uses a computer for work or fun, you will learn the basics of programming so that you can automate simple tasks such as these:

Moving and renaming thousands of files and sorting them into folders
Filling out online forms—no typing required
Downloading files or copying text from a website whenever it updates
Having your computer text you custom notifications
Updating or formatting Excel spreadsheets
Checking your email and sending out prewritten responses

These tasks are simple but time-consuming for humans, and they’re often so trivial or specific that there’s no ready-made software to perform them. Armed with a little bit of programming knowledge, however, you can have your computer do these tasks for you.

Scala for Java Developers

The book is split into four parts: a tour of Scala, a comparison between Java and Scala, a closer look at Scala-specific features and functional programming idioms, and finally a discussion about adopting Scala into existing Java teams.

In Part I, we’re going to take a high-level tour of Scala. You’ll get a feel for the language’s constructs and how Scala is similar in a lot of ways to Java, yet very different in others. We’ll take a look at installing Scala and using the interactive interpreter and we’ll go through some basic syntax examples.

Part II talks about key differences between Java and Scala. We’ll look at what’s missing in Scala compared to Java, vice versa, and how concepts translate from one language to another.

Then in Part III, we’ll talk about some of the language features that Scala offers that aren’t found in Java. This part also talks a little about functional programming idioms.

Finally, we’ll talk about adopting Scala into legacy Java projects and teams. It’s not always an easy transition, so we’ll look at why you would want to, and some of the challenges you might face.

Practical Scala DSLs

Hello, and welcome to Practical Scala DSLs. Scala has become very popular, and with more companies adopting the language every day, its popularity and growth have swelled.

DSLs, a way for designing software using its inherent techniques, is essentially a set of patterns that can describe software in “plain English.” This book does not attempt to cover all the theory behind DSLs. A fantastic book, Domain-Specific Languages, by Martin Fowler (Addison-Wesley Professional, 2010) provides a basic understanding of this.

With this book, I wish to describe how to use DSLs in everyday projects. The scope of the book is to give the reader an idea of how to use a DSL on the job and, by the end of the book, see how DSLs can be used in different projects. What I intend to show is how to approach DSLs from a practical standpoint and teach the reader how to think about integrating DSLs in their daily work life.

To better understand the book, the reader must be familiar with Scala, able to write a simple program in Scala, and have an idea about its architecture. Ideally, the reader will have in addition some familiarity with Java programming. This is because both Scala and Java use the Java virtual machine (JVM), and some examples discussed in the text highlight the differences between Scala and Java. Last, the reader should have an affinity for an editor. I use IntelliJ, but any editor would be fine.

Pro Java Clustering and Scalability

This book is suitable for every software developer with at least a few years of experience. In other words, this is not a book to learn the basics of Spring, JUnit, and Mockito, for example.

This is a programming book but with many interesting infrastructure discussions and tips. I have coded an entire chat application using the Spring Framework, WebSocket, Cassandra, Redis, RabbitMQ, and MySQL, and I discuss how you can horizontally scale this application implementing a WebSocket multinode architecture. In my opinion, this is what makes this book different from others.

My objective when writing this book was to bring you a new experience by mixing a lot of development code with interesting and didactic infrastructure discussions. I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it!

Scala for the Impatient. 2nd Ed

The evolution of traditional languages such as Java, C#, and C++ has slowed down considerably, and programmers who are eager to use more modern language features are looking elsewhere. Scala is an attractive choice; in fact, I think it is by far the most attractive choice for programmers who want to improve their productivity. Scala has a concise syntax that is refreshing after the Java boilerplate. It runs on the Java virtual machine, providing access to a huge set of libraries and tools. And Scala doesn’t just target the Java virtual machine. The ScalaJS project emits JavaScript code, enabling you to write both the server-side and client-side parts of a web application in a language that isn’t JavaScript. Scala embraces the functional programming style without abandoning object orientation, giving you an incremental learning path to a new paradigm. The Scala interpreter lets you run quick experiments, which makes learning Scala very enjoyable. Last but not least, Scala is statically typed, enabling the compiler to find errors, so that you don’t waste time finding them—or not—later in the running program.

I wrote this book for impatient readers who want to start programming in Scala right away. I assume you know Java, C#, or C++, and I don’t bore you with explaining variables, loops, or classes. I don’t exhaustively list all the features of the language, I don’t lecture you about the superiority of one paradigm over another, and I don’t make you suffer through long and contrived examples. Instead, you will get the information that you need in compact chunks that you can read and review as needed. Scala is a big language, but you can use it effectively without knowing all of its details intimately. Martin Odersky, the creator of Scala, has identified levels of expertise for application programmers and library designers—as shown in the following table.

Object-Orientation, Abstraction, and Data Structures Using Scala. 2 ed

Thank you for purchasing Object-Orientation, Abstraction, and Data Structures Using Scala. This book is intended to be used as a textbook for a second or third semester course in Computer Science. The contents of this book are an expanded second edition of the second half of Introduction to the Art of Programming Using Scala. The first half of that book became Introduction to Programming and Problem Solving Using Scala. This book assumes that the reader has previous programming experience, but not necessarily in Scala. The introductory chapter is intended to quickly bring the reader up to speed on the Scala syntax. If you already know Scala, you can skim this chapter for a refresher or skip it completely.

Building Applications with Scala

Functional programming started in academia and ended up in the IT industry. The Scala language is a multi-paradigm language used by big players and large organizations that helps you get the correct (in the sense of pure functional programming) software and, at the same time, software that is practical and scalable.

Scala has a very rich ecosystem, including Play Framework, Akka, Slick, Gatling, Finable, and more. In this book, we will start right from the basic principles and ideas on functional and ReactiveX programming, and through practical examples, you will learn how to code with the most important frameworks of the Scala ecosystem, such as Play, Akka, and Slick.

You will learn how to bootstrap a Scala application with SBT and Activator, how to build a Play and Akka application step by step, and we cover the theory of how to scale massive Scala applications with cloud and the NetflixOSS stack. This book will help you to go from the basic subjects to the most advanced ones in order to make you a Scala expert.

Professional Scala

A working knowledge of Scala puts you in demand. As both the language and applications expand, so do the opportunities for experienced Scala programmers—and many positions are going unfi lled. Major enterprises across industries are using Scala every day, in a number of different applications and capacities. Professional Scala helps you update your skills quickly to start advancing your career.

Scala bridges the gap between functional and object-oriented programming, and this book details that link with a clear discussion of both Java compatibility and the read-eval-print loop used in declarative programming. You’ll learn the details of Scala testing, design patterns, concurrency, and much more as you build the in-demand skill set required to utilize Scala in a real-world production environment.

Learn R for Applied Statistics

This book is primarily targeted to programmers or learners who want to learn R programming for statistics. This book will cover using R programming for descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, regression analysis, and data visualizations.

In this book, you will use R for applied statistics, which can be used in the data understanding and modeling stages of the CRISP DM (data mining) model. Data mining is the process of mining the insights and knowledge from data. R programming was created for statistics and is used in academic and research fields. R programming has evolved over time and many packages have been created to do data mining, text mining, and data visualizations tasks. R is very mature in the statistics field, so it is ideal to use R for the data exploration, data understanding, or modeling stages of the CRISP DM model.

Target C#

The chapters in this book will cover coding in C# using the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE) from Microsoft. Other Integrated Development Environments exist, such as Visual Studio Code, and the code from the applications in the chapters will work within any Integrated Development Environment capable of running C# code. While the step-by-step instructions and screenshots in the book are based around the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment, they can still be used by those preferring a different Integrated Development Environment.

The first two chapters of the book introduce us to the .NET framework, the Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment, and how to complete the required software installation. With the necessary tools installed, we are then introduced to what a computer program is, before we start to write our own computer programs. We then begin to cover the core concepts needed when developing C# code and which can be applied to other programming languages. We cover a wide range of core programming concepts, including data types, selection, iteration, arrays, methods, classes and objects, serialization, file handling, string handling, and exception handling. Studying these chapters is more than enough to allow us to develop applications that emulate commercial application code.

All examples in the chapters are fully commented to ensure we can understand the code and to enhance our knowledge of the C# programming language. Reading the comments within the code examples is essential; they are an integral part of the book and will enhance our understanding of C# and will help explain why the code does something or what the code is doing.

Pro C# 10 with .NET 6. 11 ed

Microsoft’s .NET platform and the C# programming language were formally introduced circa 2002 and have quickly become a mainstay of modern-day software development. The .NET platform enables a large number of programming languages (including C#, VB.NET, and F#) to interact with each other. A program written in C# can be referenced by another program written in VB.NET. More on this interoperability later in this chapter.

In 2016, Microsoft officially launched .NET Core. Like .NET, .NET Core allows languages to interop with each other (although a limited number of languages are supported). More importantly, this new framework is no longer limited to running on the Windows operating system but can also run on iOS, and Linux and be developed on MacOS and Linux. This platform independence opened up .NET and C# to a much larger pool of developers. While cross-platform use of C# was supported prior to .NET Core, that was through various other frameworks such as the Mono project.

Microsoft launched C# 10 and .NET 6 on November 8, 2021. C# 10 is tied to a specific version of the framework and will run only on .NET 6 and above. This relationship between language and .NET versions gives the C# team the freedom to introduce features into C# that couldn’t otherwise be added into the language due to framework limitations.

As mentioned in the book’s introduction, the goal of this text is twofold. The first order of business is to provide you with a deep and detailed examination of the syntax and semantics of C#. The second (equally important) order of business is to illustrate the use of numerous .NET development frameworks. These include database access with ADO.NET and Entity Framework (EF) Core, user interfaces with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and finally RESTful services and web applications with ASP.NET Core. As it is said, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; and with this, I welcome you to Chapter 1.

This first chapter lays the conceptual groundwork for the remainder of the book. Here, you will find a high-level discussion of a number of .NET-related topics such as assemblies, the Common Intermediate Language (CIL), and just-in-time (JIT) compilation. In addition to previewing some keywords of the C# programming language, you will also come to understand the relationship between the .NET Runtime, the Common Type System (CTS) and the Common Language Specification (CLS).

This chapter also provides you with a survey of the functionality supplied by the .NET base class libraries, sometimes abbreviated as BCLs. Here, you will get an overview of the language-agnostic and platform-independent nature of the .NET platform. As you would expect, these topics are explored in further detail throughout the remainder of this text.

Full Stack GraphQL Applications With React, Node.js, and Neo4j

The goal of Full Stack GraphQL Applications is to show how the pieces of a full stack GraphQL application fit together and how full stack developers can leverage online services to enable development and deployment. This is done by introducing concepts and building upon each chapter as we build and deploy a full stack business review application.

Who should read this book?

This book is intended for full stack web developers interested in GraphQL who have at least a basic level of understanding of Node.js API applications and client JavaScript applications that connect to these APIs. The successful reader will have some basic familiarity with Node.js and a basic understanding of client-side JavaScript but, most importantly, they will have a motivation for understanding how to build GraphQL services and applications leveraging GraphQL.

Kotlin. Программирование для профессионалов. 2 изд

В 2011 году компания JetBrains анонсировала альтернативу языкам Java и Scala —язык программирования Kotlin, код которого тоже выполняется под управлением виртуальной машины Java (Java Virtual Machine). Шесть лет спустя Google объявил об официальной поддержке Kotlin как языка разработки для операционной системы Android.

И Kotlin быстро превратился из просто «перспективного» в язык поддержки приложений для лидирующей мобильной операционной системы. Сегодня крупные компании вроде Google, Uber, Netflix, Capital One, Amazon и других официально приняли на вооружение Kotlin, чему способствовали его компактность, современные возможности и полная совместимость с Java.

Programming in Lua. 4 Ed

This book does not assume any prior knowledge of Lua or any specific programming language —except for its last part, which discusses the Lua API with C. However, it assumes the knowledge of some basic programming concepts, in particular variables and assignment, control structures, functions and parameters, recursion, streams and files, and basic data structures.

Lua users typically fall into three broad groups: those that use Lua already embedded in an application program, those that use Lua stand alone, and those that use Lua and C together. This book has much to offer to all these groups.

Many people use Lua embedded in an application program, such as Adobe Lightroom, Nmap, or World of Warcraft. These applications use Lua's C API to register new functions, to create new types, and to change the behavior of some language operations, configuring Lua for their specific domains. Often, the users of such applications do not even know that Lua is an independent language adapted for a particular domain. For instance, many developers of plug-ins for Lightroom do not know about other uses of the language; Nmap users tend to think of Lua as the language of the Nmap Scripting Engine; many players of World of Warcraft regard Lua as a language exclusive to that game. Despite these different worlds, the core language is still the same, and the programming techniques you will learn here apply everywhere.

Lua is useful also as a stand-alone language, not only for text processing and one-shot little programs, but for medium-to-large projects, too. For such uses, the main functionality of Lua comes from libraries. The standard libraries, for instance, offer pattern matching and other functions for string handling. As Lua has improved its support for libraries, there has been a proliferation of external packages. LuaRocks, a deployment and management system for Lua modules, passed one thousand modules in 2015, covering all sorts of domains.

Finally, there are those programmers that work on the other side of the bench, writing applications that use Lua as a C library. Those people will program more in C than in Lua, although they need a good understanding of Lua to create interfaces that are simple, easy to use, and well integrated with the language.

Learning RxJava. 2 Ed

This book is the second—substantially enhanced and updated to include the latest software versions–edition of the popular book Learning RxJava. The authors know the subject intimately and provide the most effective and simple approach and step-by-step guide to mastering this new modern programming called reactive programming.

You will find clear and succinct definitions, insightful discussions, and demo code that cuts into the essence of this new, rapidly emerging field that has already accomplished a lot and promises even more. Anybody who is thinking about Java programming–especially for Android applications–must read this book and use it at every level of the programming experience.

The book is meant for people who want to get into Machine Learning and learn more about Reinforcement Learning.

Learn Raspberry Pi Programming with Python. 2 Ed

It is difficult to believe that it’s been four years since I wrote the first edition of this book. In 2014, there was one version of the Raspberry Pi, a comparatively underpowered board with only one core in its ARM processor and only twenty GPIO pins to play around with. I was excited to order my first Pi, and I actually had to get on a waiting list to be on the second shipment list.

In addition, it seemed that every time you turned around, someone else was introducing a single-board computer (SBC) that was trying to appeal to the same niche that the Pi did—mainly hobbyists and makers who were ready to step up from the Arduino to something a bit more powerful.

The Pi resisted all attacks on its throne, however (not that it was ever interested in competing), and thrived. There are now seven models of the Pi: the model 1, the model 2, the model 2B, the model 3, the model 3B, the Pi Zero, and the Zero W. The Pi 3 is a computing powerhouse compared to the original model; its quad-core architecture lets it perform tasks like computer vision and machine learning, and overclocking it can give you speeds up to 1.5GHz, compared to the original’s 700MHz. Meanwhile, the Zero and the Zero W have such a low price point ($5US and $10US, respectively) that I often have to field questions from readers like “Why should I use an Arduino? The Pi Zero is cheaper!”

And the Pi is not the only game in town. Depending on how much you’re willing to spend, there are quite a few other SBCs that can be used for whatever project you’ve got in mind, ranging from the $30 BeagleBoard to the $550 NVidia Jetson TX2. I still like the Pi, however; it’s the board that first got me started playing around with embedded computers and the xxii hobby projects that you can do with them. It’s inexpensive, so when I burn it up or brick it (as I’ve done quite a few times) I can replace it without breaking the bank. And it’s still powerful enough for quite a lot of things.

Thanks for reading this new book with me. If you’re a fan of my original book, thanks for sticking with me and putting up with the several mistakes that made it through to publication, and if you’re a new reader and a new Pi user, welcome! I hope to use the following pages to introduce you to an exciting new world of projects and computing.

Deep Learning with Python

As human beings we are intuitively aware of the concept of learning: it simply means to get better at a task over a period of time. The task could be physical (like learning to drive a car) or intellectual (like learning a new language). The subject of machine learning focuses on development of algorithms that can learn as humans do; that is, they get better at a task over a period over time, with experience.

The first question to ask is why we would be interested in development of algorithms that improve their performance over time, with experience. After all, there are many algorithms that are developed and implemented to solve real world problems that don’t improve over time, they simply are developed by humans and implemented in software and they get the job done. From banking to e-commerce and from navigation systems in our cars to landing a spacecraft on the moon, algorithms are everywhere, and, a majority of them do not improve over time. These algorithms simply perform the task they are intended to perform, with some maintenance required from time to time. Why do we need machine learning?

The answer to this question is that for certain tasks it is easier to develop an algorithm that learns/ improves its performance with experience than to develop an algorithm manually. While this might seem unintuitive to the reader at this point, we will build intuition for this during the course of this chapter.

C# Programming for Absolute Beginners. 2 Ed

In this book, you will create some real programs, and for this purpose, you need to learn a programming language, which is what gives the computer its instructions. Programming languages provide the interaction between computers and humans. They are strict enough so that absolutely dumb computers can understand them, and yet they are human enough so that programmers can write code using them.

Over time, many programming languages have been created, and many are in use today. Each language has its virtues and drawbacks.

For this book, I have chosen the C# programming language, which is my numberone language both for professional development and for teaching. It’s about 20 years old, which means its creators could avoid the known flaws of older languages when developing it. In addition, it is now a time-proven language, not to be readily replaced by some new fashion.

C# is actually the flagship language of Microsoft. It is quite universal—you can use it to write a variety of programs ranging from traditional console and desktop applications through websites and services to mobile development, both for business and for entertainment. Originally born on Windows, it has been quickly spreading onto other platforms in recent years—such as Linux, Mac, Android, and iOS.

I hope you will have a good time with it and you will find many uses for it in your future professional/hobby life!

Modern C

The C programming language has been around for a long time — the canonical reference for it is the book written by its creators, Kernighan and Ritchie [1978]. Since then, C has been used in an incredible number of applications. Programs and systems written in C are all around us: in personal computers, phones, cameras, set-top boxes, refrigerators, cars, mainframes, satellites ... basically in any modern device that has a programmable interface.

In contrast to the ubiquitous presence of C programs and systems, good knowledge of and about C is much more scarce. Even experienced C programmers often appear to be stuck in some degree of self-inflicted ignorance about the modern evolution of the C language. A likely reason for this is that C is seen as an "easy to learn" language, allowing a programmer with little experience to quickly write or copy snippets of code that at least appear to do what it’s supposed to. In a way, C fails to motivate its users to climb to higher levels of knowledge.

This book is intended to change that general attitude, so it is organized in levels that reflect familiarity with the C language and programming in general. This structure may go against some habits of the book’s readers; in particular, it splits some difficult subjects (such as pointers) across levels in order to not swamp readers too early with the wrong information. We’ll explain the book’s organization in more detail shortly.

Generally, although many universally applicable ideas will be presented, that would also be valid for other programming languages (such as Java, Python, Ruby, C#, or C++) the book primarily addresses concepts and practices that are unique to C or are of particular value when programming in the C language.

Haskell in Depth

Haskell in Depth unlocks a new level of skill with this challenging language. Going beyond the basics of syntax and structure, this book opens up critical topics like advanced types, concurrency, and data processing. You’ll discover key parts of the Haskell ecosystem and master core design patterns that will transform how you write software.

What's inside:

Building applications, web services, and networking apps
Using sophisticated libraries like lens, singletons, and servant
Organizing projects with Cabal and Stack
Error-handling and testing
Pure parallelism for multicore processors

Pointers in C Programming

Pointers and memory management are considered among the most challenging issues to deal with in low-level programming languages such as C. It is not that pointers are conceptually difficult to understand, nor is it difficult to comprehend how we can obtain memory from the operating system and how we return the memory again so it can be reused. The difficulty stems from the flexibility with which pointers let us manipulate the entire state of a running program. With pointers, every object anywhere in a program’s memory is available to us—at least in principle. We can change any bit to our heart’s desire. No data are safe from our pointers, not even the program that we run—a running program is nothing but data in the computer’s memory, and in theory, we can modify our own code as we run it.

With such a power tool, it should hardly surprise that mistakes can be fatal for a program, and unfortunately, mistakes are easy to make when it comes to pointers. While pointers do have type information, type safety is minimal when you use them. If you point somewhere in memory and pronounce that you want “that integer over there,” you get an integer, no matter what the object “over there” really is. Treat it like an integer, and it behaves like an integer. Assign a value to it, and may the gods have mercy on your soul if it was supposed to be something else and something you need later. You have just destroyed the real object you pointed at.

If you are not careful, any small mistake can crash your program—or worse. If you accidentally modify the incorrect data in your program, all your output is tainted. If you are lucky, it is easily detectable, and you are in for a fun few days of debugging. If you are less fortunate, you can make business decisions based on incorrect output for years to come, never realizing that the code you wrote is fooling you every time it runs—or maybe not every time, just on infrequent occasions, so rare that you can never chase down the problem. When you have bugs caused by pointers (or uninitialized memory), they are not always reproducible. Your program’s behavior might depend on which other programs are running concurrently on the computer. If you start debugging it, any code you add to the program to examine it will affect its behavior. Loading the program into a debugger will definitely change the behavior as well. I hope that you will never run into such bugs—known as Heisenbugs after Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle—but if you mess around with pointers long enough, you likely will.

Introduction to Programming in Java. 2nd ed

THE BASIS FOR EDUCATION IN THE last millennium was “reading, writing, and arithmetic”; now it is reading, writing, and computing. Learning to program is an essential part of the education of every student in the sciences and engineering. Beyond direct applications, it is the first step in understanding the nature of computer science’s undeniable impact on the modern world. This book aims to teach programming to those who need or want to learn it, in a scientific context.

Our primary goal is to empower students by supplying the experience and basic tools necessary to use computation effectively. Our approach is to teach students that composing a program is a natural, satisfying, and creative experience. We progressively introduce essential concepts, embrace classic applications from applied mathematics and the sciences to illustrate the concepts, and provide opportunities for students to write programs to solve engaging problems.

We use the Java programming language for all of the programs in this book— we refer to “Java” after “programming in the title to emphasize the idea that the book is about fundamental concepts in programming, not Java per se. This book teaches basic skills for computational problem solving that are applicable in many modern computing environments, and is a self-contained treatment intended for people with no previous experience in programming.

This book is an interdisciplinary approach to the traditional CS1 curriculum, in that we highlight the role of computing in other disciplines, from materials science to genomics to astrophysics to network systems. This approach emphasizes for students the essential idea that mathematics, science, engineering, and computing are intertwined in the modern world. While it is a CS1 textbook designed for any first-year college student, the book also can be used for self-study or as a supplement in a course that integrates programming with another field.

Beginning Hibernate 6. 5 ed

This book assumes a good understanding of Java fundamentals and some slight familiarity with database programming using the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API. We don’t expect you to know anything about Hibernate – but if you buy this book, it will probably be because you have had some exposure to the painful process of building a large database-based system.

All of our examples use open source software – primarily the Hibernate API itself – so you will not need to purchase any software to get started with Hibernate development. This book is not an academic text. Our focus is, instead, on providing extensive examples and taking a pragmatic approach to the technology that it covers.

To true newcomers to the Hibernate API, we recommend that you read at least the first three chapters in order before diving into the juicy subjects of later chapters. Very experienced developers or those having experience with libraries similar to Hibernate will want to skim the latter half of the book for interesting chapters.

This book uses Java 11, which was the “current release” when it was drafted, and ignores Java’s module system. By print time, Java 17 had become the current long-term supported release, and this book still ignores the module system; while modules are useful (and, arguably, important) their use is tangential at best for the subject matter. For the record, Hibernate works well with Java modules, but this book doesn’t cover them at all, because they don’t necessarily help one master Hibernate; modules’ focus is on engineering and creation of better executables, neither subject being a core focus here.

C++20 STL Cookbook

The C++20 STL Cookbook provides recipes to help you get the most out of the C++ STL (Standard Template Library), including new features introduced with C++20.

C++ is a rich and powerful language. Built upon C, with syntactic extensions for type safety, generic programming, and object-oriented programming, C++ is essentially a low-level language. The STL provides a broad set of higher-level classes, functions, and algorithms to make your programming job easier, more effective, and less prone to error.

I've often said that C++ is five languages cobbled into one. The formal specification includes 1) the entire C language, 2) C's cryptic-yet-powerful macro preprocessor, 3) a feature-rich class/object model, 4) a generic programming model called templates, and finally, built upon C++ classes and templates, 5) the STL.

Java: эффективное программирование. 3 изд

Говоря о третьем издании книги «Эффективное программирование на Java», достаточно упомянуть его автора — Джошуа Блоха — и это будет наилучшей ее рекомендацией.

Книга представляет собой овеществленный опыт ее автора как программиста на Java. Новые возможности этого языка программирования, появившиеся в версиях, вышедших со времен предыдущего издания книги, по сути знаменуют появление совершенно новых концепций, так что для их эффективного использования недостаточно просто узнать об их существовании, и программировать на современном Java с использованием старых парадигм.

К программированию в полной мере относится фраза Евклида о том, что в геометрии нет царских путей. Но пройти путь изучения и освоения языка программирования вам может помочь проводник, показывающий наиболее интересные места и предупреждающий о ямах и ухабах. Таким проводником может послужить книга Джошуа Блоха. С ней вы не заблудитесь и не забредете в дебри, из которых будете долго и трудно выбираться с помощью отладчика.

При этом книга не просто научит вас использовать новые возможности языка — она научит использовать их эффективно. Но и это не все — книга не просто учит эффективному применению Java, но еще и рассказывает, почему ту или иную задачу следует решать именно так.

Эта книга заставляет вас не просто заучить правила — она заставляет думать.

И хотя эта книга в первую очередь предназначена для энтузиастов и профессионалов, она достойна места на полке любого программиста — как профессионала, так и зеленого новичка.

Язык программирования Java существенно изменился со времени предыдущего издания книги, опубликованного вскоре после выпуска Java 6. Этот классический труд тщательно обновлен, чтобы читатели могли в полной мере воспользоваться возможностями последних версий языка и его библиотек функций. В современном Java поддерживается несколько парадигм программирования. Поэтому программисты часто испытывают потребность в конкретных рекомендациях, которые и описаны в данной книге.

Hands-on Rust

Rust is an exciting programming language that combines the power of C with memory safety, fearless concurrency, and productivity boosters. It offers closeto-the-metal power and performance, while also providing a safety net to avoid many of the more common bugs found in low-level languages. Because of its features, Rust is a very competitive systems and game development language and is currently enjoying rapid growth amongst industry giants, including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and many game development houses.

A great way to learn and study Rust is through game development. Don’t be discouraged by the scale and polish of AAA titles. Small indie games are fun, and hobby game development can kickstart careers in professional game dev or unrelated development fields. Every successful game developer started small, gradually gaining skills until they could work on the game of their dreams.

In this book, you’ll learn Rust by walking through game development examples. You’ll gain knowledge and confidence in both Rust and game development as you work through a series of practical examples, building increasingly complicated games. The text emphasizes a pragmatic “learn by doing” approach. Theory sections are short and are followed by concrete examples for you to try. By the end of the book, you’ll have mastered the basics of the Rust language and be well-equipped for tackling more complicated game development problems.

Practical System programming for Rust developers

The modern software stack is evolving rapidly in size and complexity. Technology domains such as the cloud, the web, data science, machine learning, DevOps, containers, IoT, embedded systems, distributed ledgers, virtual and augmented reality, and artificial intelligence continue to evolve and specialize. This has resulted in a severe shortage of system software developers able to build out the system infrastructure components. Modern societies, businesses, and governments increasingly rely heavily on digital technologies, which puts greater emphasis on developing safe, reliable, and efficient systems software and software infrastructure that modern web and mobile applications are built on.

System programming languages such as C/C++ have proved their mettle for decades in this domain, and provide a high degree of control and performance, but it is at the cost of memory safety.

Higher-level languages such as Java, C#, Python, Ruby, and JavaScript provide memory safety but offer less control over memory layout, and suffer from garbage collection pauses.

Rust is a modern, open source system programming language that promises the best of three worlds: the type safety of Java; the speed, expressiveness, and efficiency of C++; and memory safety without a garbage collector.

This book adopts a unique three-step approach to teaching system programming in Rust. Each chapter in this book starts with an overview of the system programming fundamentals and kernel system calls for that topic in Unix-like operating systems (Unix/ Linux/macOS). You will then learn how to perform common system calls using the Rust Standard Library, and in a few cases, external crates, using abundant code snippets. This knowledge is then reinforced through a practical example project that you will build. Lastly, there are questions in each chapter to embed learning.

By the end of this book, you will have a sound foundational understanding of how to use Rust to manage and control operating system resources such as memory, files, processes, threads, system environment, peripheral devices, networking interfaces, terminals, and shells, and you'll understand how to build cross-language bindings through FFI. Along the way, you will learn how to use the tools of the trade, and get a firm appreciation of the value Rust brings to build safe, performant, reliable, and efficient system-level software.

C# 10 in a Nutshell

C# 10 represents the ninth major update to Microsoft’s flagship programming language, positioning C# as a language with unusual flexibility and breadth. At one end, it offers high-level abstractions such as query expressions and asynchronous continuations, whereas at the other end, it allows low-level efficiency through con‐ structs such as custom value types and optional pointers.

The price of this growth is that there’s more than ever to learn. Although tools such as Microsoft’s IntelliSense—and online references—are excellent in helping you on the job, they presume an existing map of conceptual knowledge. This book provides exactly that map of knowledge in a concise and unified style—free of clutter and long introductions.

Like the past seven editions, C# 10 in a Nutshell is organized around concepts and use cases, making it friendly both to sequential reading and to random browsing. It also plumbs significant depths while assuming only basic background knowledge, making it accessible to intermediate as well as advanced readers.

This book covers C#, the Common Language Runtime (CLR), and the .NET 6 Base Class Library (BCL). We’ve chosen this focus to allow space for difficult and advanced topics without compromising depth or readability. Features recently added to C# are flagged so that you can also use this book as a reference for C# 9, C# 8, and C# 7.

Mastering Rust. 2 Ed

This book is about Rust, a programming language that empowers you to build all kinds of software systems, ranging from low-level embedded software to dynamic web applications. Rust is fast, reliable, and safe. It offers performance and safety guarantees that reach or even surpass C and C++, while still being a modern language with a relatively low barrier of entry. Rust drive toward incremental improvements, combined with its active and friendly community, promises a great future for the language.

Rust is not a new language by design and doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. Rather, it's a language that has identified unique ideas, hidden away in research-prototype languages that never saw mass adoption. It brings those ideas together into a coherent composition and provides a practical language that lets you build safe software systems, while still being efficient.

Hands-On Concurrency with Rust

Welcome. The aim of this book is to teach beginner and moderate Rust programmers how to exploit modern parallel machines in the Rust programming language. This book will contain a variety of information relevant specifically to the Rust programming language, especially with regard to its standard library, but it will also contain information that is more generally applicable but happens to be expressed in Rust. Rust itself is not a terribly inventive language. Its key contribution, from where I sit, is the mainstreaming of affine types with application to memory allocation tracking. In most other respects, it is a familiar systems programming language, one that ought to feel familiar—with a bit of adjustment—to those with a background in GC-less programming languages. This is a good thing, considering our aim here is to investigate concurrency—there is a wealth of information available in the papers and books written about this subject, and we understand and apply their concepts. This book will reference a number of such works, whose contexts are C++ , ATS, ADA, and similar languages.

Network Programming with Rust

Rust has steadily become one of the most important new programming languages in recent years. Like C or C++, Rust enables the developer to write code that is low-level enough to make Rust code quickly. And since Rust is memory-safe by design, it does not allow code that can crash on a null pointer exception. These properties make it a natural choice for writing low-level networking applications. This book will enable developers to get started with writing networking applications with Rust.

Practical Machine Learning with Python

Data is the new oil and Machine Learning is a powerful concept and framework for making the best out of it. In this age of automation and intelligent systems, it is hardly a surprise that Machine Learning and Data Science are some of the top buzz words. The tremendous interest and renewed investments in the field of Data Science across industries, enterprises, and domains are clear indicators of its enormous potential. Intelligent systems and data-driven organizations are becoming a reality and the advancements in tools and techniques is only helping it expand further. With data being of paramount importance, there has never been a higher demand for Machine Learning and Data Science practitioners than there is now. Indeed, the world is facing a shortage of data scientists. It’s been coined “The sexiest job in the 21st Century” which makes it all the more worthwhile to try to build some valuable expertise in this domain.

Practical Machine Learning with Python is a problem solver’s guide to building real-world intelligent systems. It follows a comprehensive three-tiered approach packed with concepts, methodologies, hands-on examples, and code. This book helps its readers master the essential skills needed to recognize and solve complex problems with Machine Learning and Deep Learning by following a data-driven mindset. Using real-world case studies that leverage the popular Python Machine Learning ecosystem, this book is your perfect companion for learning the art and science of Machine Learning to become a successful practitioner. The concepts, techniques, tools, frameworks, and methodologies used in this book will teach you how to think, design, build, and execute Machine Learning systems and projects successfully.

This book will get you started on the ways to leverage the Python Machine Learning ecosystem with its diverse set of frameworks and libraries. The three-tiered approach of this book starts by focusing on building a strong foundation around the basics of Machine Learning and relevant tools and frameworks, the next part emphasizes the core processes around building Machine Learning pipelines, and the final part leverages this knowledge on solving some real-world case studies from diverse domains, including retail, transportation, movies, music, computer vision, art, and finance. We also cover a wide range of Machine Learning models, including regression, classification, forecasting, rule-mining, and clustering. This book also touches on cutting edge methodologies and research from the field of Deep Learning, including concepts like transfer learning and case studies relevant to computer vision, including image classification and neural style transfer.

This book is application-focused, so it’s not a replacement for gaining deep conceptual and theoretical knowledge about Machine Learning algorithms, methods, and their internal implementations. We strongly recommend you supplement the practical knowledge gained through this book with some standard books on data mining, statistical analysis, and theoretical aspects of Machine Learning algorithms and methods to gain deeper insights into the world of Machine Learning.

Competitive Programming in Python

Mistakenly, computer scientists are still often considered the magicians of modern times. Computers have slowly crept into our businesses, our homes and our machines, and have become important enablers in the functioning of our world. However, there are many that use these devices without really mastering them, and hence, they do not fully enjoy their benefits. Knowing how to program provides the ability to fully exploit their potential to solve problems in an efficient manner. Algorithms and programming techniques have become a necessary background for many professions. Their mastery allows the development of creative and efficient computer-based solutions to problems encountered every day.

This text presents a variety of algorithmic techniques to solve a number of classic problems. It describes practical situations where these problems arise, and presents simple implementations written in the programming language Python. Correctly implementing an algorithm is not always easy: there are numerous traps to avoid and techniques to apply to guarantee the announced running times. The examples in the text are embellished with explanations of important implementation details which must be respected.

For the last several decades, programming competitions have sprung up at every level all over the world, in order to promote a broad culture of algorithms. The problems proposed in these contests are often variants of classic algorithmic problems, presented as frustrating enigmas that will never let you give up until you solve them!

R in a Nutshell, 2nd Ed

It’s been over 10 years since I was first introduced to R. Back then, I was a young product development manager at DoubleClick, a company that sold advertising software for managing online ad sales. I was working on inventory prediction: estimating the number of ad impressions that could be sold for a given search term, web page, or demographic characteristic. I wanted to play with the data myself, but we couldn’t afford a piece of expensive software like SAS or MATLAB. I looked around for a little while, trying to find an open-source statistics package, and stumbled on R. Back then, R was a bit rough around the edges and was missing a lot of the features it has today (like fancy graphics and statistics functions). But R was intuitive and easy to use; I was hooked. Since that time, I’ve used R to do many different things: estimate credit risk, analyze baseball statistics, and look for Internet security threats. I’ve learned a lot about data and matured a lot as a data analyst.

R, too, has matured a great deal over the past decade. R is used at the world’s largest technology companies (including Google, Microsoft, and Facebook), the largest pharmaceutical companies (including Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and Pfizer), and at hundreds of other companies. It’s used in statistics classes at universities around the world and by statistics researchers to try new techniques and algorithms.

The Quick Python Book. 3 Ed

I’ve been coding in Python for 16 years now, far longer than in any other language I’ve ever used. I’ve used Python for system administration, for web applications, for database management, and for data analysis over those years, but most important, I’ve come to use Python just to help myself think about a problem more clearly.

Based on my earlier experience, I would have expected that by now I would have been lured away by some other language that was faster, cooler, sexier, whatever. I think there are two reasons that didn’t happen. First, while other languages have come along, none has helped me do what I needed to do quite as effectively as Python. Even after all these years, the more I use Python and the more I understand it, the more I feel the quality of my programming improve and mature.

The second reason I’m still around is the Python community. It’s one of the most welcoming, inclusive, active, and friendly communities I’ve seen, embracing scientists, quants, web developers, systems people, and data scientists on every continent. It’s been a joy and honor to work with members of this community, and I encourage everyone to join in.

Writing this book has been a bit of a journey. While we’re still on Python 3, today’s Python 3 has evolved considerably from 3.1, and the ways people are using Python have also evolved. Although my goal has always been to keep the best bits of the previous edition, there have been a fair number of additions, deletions, and reorganizations that I hope make this edition both useful and timely. I’ve tried to keep the style clear and low-key without being stuffy.

For me, the aim of this book is to share the positive experiences I’ve gotten from coding in Python by introducing people to Python 3, the latest and, in my opinion, the greatest version of Python to date. May your journey be as satisfying as mine has been.

C++17 in detail

After the long awaited C++11, the C++ Committee has made changes to the standardisation process and we can now expect a new language standard every three years. In 2014 the ISO Committee delivered C++14. Now it’s time for C++17, which was published at the end of 2017. As I am writing these words, in the middle of 2018, we’re in the process of preparing C++20.

As you can see, the language and the Standard Library evolves quite fast! Since 2011 you’ve got a set of new library modules and language features every three years. Thus staying up to date with the whole state of the language has become quite a challenging task, and this is why this book will help you.

The chapters of this book describe all the significant changes in C++17 and will give you the essential knowledge to stay at the edge of the latest features. What’s more, each section contains lots of practical examples and also compiler-specific notes to give you a more comfortable start.

It’s a pleasure for me to write about new and exciting things in the language and I hope you’ll have fun discovering C++17 as well!

Professional C# and .NET. 2021 Ed

.NET was announced in the year 2000, it is not becoming a grandfather technology. Instead, .NET keeps increasing developer traction since it has become open source and is available not only on Windows but also on Linux platforms. .NET can also run within the browser on the client—without the need to install a plugin—by using the WebAssembly standard.

As new enhancements for C# and .NET are coming, a focus lies not only on performance gains but also on ease of use. .NET more and more is a choice for new developers.

C# is also attractive for long-term developers. Every year, Stack Overflow asks developers about the most loved, dreaded, and wanted programming languages and frameworks. For several years, C# has been within the top 10 of the most loved programming languages. ASP.NET Core now holds the top position as the most loved web framework. .NET Core is number one in the most loved other frameworks/libraries/tools category. See https:// insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020 for details.

When you use C# and ASP.NET Core, you can create web applications and services (including microservices) that run on Windows, Linux, and Mac. You can use the Windows Runtime to create native Windows apps using C#, XAML, and .NET. You can create libraries that you share between ASP.NET Core, Windows apps, and .NET MAUI. You can also create traditional Windows Forms and WPF applications.

Most of the samples of this book are built to run on a Windows or Linux system. Exceptions are the Windows app samples that run only on the Windows platform. You can use Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, or Visual Studio for the Mac as the developer environment; only the Windows app samples require Visual Studio.

On Java 8

My previous Java book, Thinking in Java, 4th Edition (Prentice Hall 2006), is still useful for programming in Java 5, the version of the language used for Android programming. But with the advent of Java 8, the language has changed significantly enough that new Java code feels and reads differently. This justified the two-year effort of creating a new book.

On Java 8 is designed for someone with a basic foundation in programming. For beginners, web sites like Code.org and Khan Academy can provide at least some of that background, along with the free Thinking in C seminar. Services like YouTube, blogs and StackOverflow have made finding answers ridiculously easy compared to just a few years ago when we relied on print media. Combine these with perseverance, and you can use this book as your first programming text. It’s also intended for professional programmers who want to expand their knowledge.

I am grateful for all the benefits from Thinking in Java, mostly in the form of speaking engagements all over the world. It has proved invaluable in creating connections with people and companies.

Programming For Computations - Python. 2nd ed

Computing, in the sense of doing mathematical calculations, is a skill that mankind has developed over thousands of years. Programming, on the other hand, is in its infancy, with a history that spans a few decades only. Both topics are vastly comprehensive and usually taught as separate subjects in educational institutions around the world, especially at the undergraduate level. This book is about the combination of the two, because computing today becomes so much more powerful when combined with programming.

Most universities and colleges implicitly require students to specialize in computer science if they want to learn the craft of programming, since other student programs usually do not offer programming to an extent demanded for really mastering this craft. Common arguments claim that it is sufficient with a brief introduction, that there is not enough room for learning programming in addition to all other must-have subjects, and that there is so much software available that few really need to program themselves. A consequence is that engineering students often graduate with shallow knowledge about programming, unless they happened to choose the computer science direction.

We think this is an unfortunate situation. There is no doubt that practicing engineers and scientists need to know their pen-and-paper mathematics. They must also be able to run off-the-shelf software for important standard tasks and will certainly do that a lot. Nevertheless, the benefits of mastering programming are many.

Introduction to Python for Engineers and Scientists

Python emerged as a leader among well-established and optimized languages including C, C++, and Java for very simple reasons. Python incorporates the principles of the philosophy that complex tasks can be done in simple ways. We tend to think that real-world, complex problems need complex pathways to produce complex solutions. The developers of Python embraced the exact opposite philosophy. Python was created to have an extremely fast and simple learning curve and development process for software engineers. As a result, it is considered the most general-purpose programming language since users can work in almost any study domain and still be able to find a useful piece of code for themselves. Python harnessed the power of the open source movement, which helped it amass a huge user base from virtually all walks of life. Being open source in nature, Python allowed people to make small programs and share them with each other with ease. In Python, a group of programs for performing various tasks makes up a module (package). At the time of writing, there are over 117,181 modules that have been submitted by an even larger number of developers around the world. The large number of modules and developers has allowed Python’s use to jump rapidly within the computer science community and finally grab the number-one position as the most favored programming language.

Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Calculations Using Python

Computers have become a powerful tool in the field of engineering. Before the widespread availability of computers, mathematical models of engineering problems needed to be simplified to the point that the calculations could be reliably performed by a single individual using a calculator or slide rule, and, fortunately, for many engineering problems, simplified models were adequate. However, as process complexity and engineering design complexity increased, engineers increasingly turned to computers for help in managing and automating the large number of calculations required.
The computational tools used by engineers have evolved considerably over the past few decades. In the 1960s and 1970s, computers were not widely available, and they were a specialized tool that was operated by highly trained individuals. In the 1980s and 1990s, computers became widely available, but the engineering software and computational tools were relatively simple compared to what is available in the twenty-first century. The individual that was using the computer general understood the calculations that were being performed, and the computer was primarily a tool for automating those calculations. Many engineering students during this time learned to program in either FORTRAN or C, and the programs written by engineers were frequently limited to a few hundred lines of code. More specialized and easier to use programming environments like MATLAB and IDL were also developed during the 1980s, and they usually helped to decrease the time required to write a computer algorithm, but they increased the time required to execute or run the algorithm.

The trend toward greater specialization and ease of use in computational tools continued in the twenty-first century. The various fields of engineering saw an exponential increase in powerful and easy-to-use tools like AutoCAD, SolidWorks, ANSYS, and Aspen. (Clearly, it is a good idea to choose a name for your software that begins with “A” so it appears first alphabetically.) The individual that uses these software packages may have some understanding of the calculations that are being performed, but they almost never fully understand the calculations and in some cases have no understanding of the mathematics that is being performed by the computer. Today, engineering students are typically taught to use multiple computational software packages during the typical undergraduate education. The irony of this situation is that students often do not understand the calculation being performed by the software – they do not know the limitations of the mathematical models, they do not know the expected accuracy of the approximate solution, and they do not always have the intuition necessary to recognize a highly incorrect result. Another loss associated with the rise of specialized software tools for engineers is that it is often very difficult to find a computational tool for a new problem. The software often works well for the limited range of problems for which it was designed, but, if an engineer wishes to analyze something new or include some change that takes the problem just beyond the range of problems for which the software was design, that engineer is often “out of luck” because no computational tool is available to help.

Problem Solving in Data Structures and Algorithms Using C#. 2 ed

This book introduces you to the world of data structures and algorithms. Data structures defines the way in which data is arranged in memory for fast and efficient access while algorithms are a set of instruction to solve problems by manipulating these data structures.

"Problem Solving in Data Structures & Algorithms" is a series of books about the usage of Data Structures and Algorithms in computer programming. The book is easy to follow and is written for interview preparation point of view. In these books, the examples are solved in various languages like Go, C, C++, Java, C#, Python, VB, javascript and PHP.

Designing an efficient algorithm is a very important skill that all software companies, e.g. Microsoft, Google, Facebook etc. pursues. Most of the interviews for these companies are focused on knowledge of data-structures and algorithms. They look for how candidates use concepts of data structures and algorithms to solve complex problems efficiently. Apart from knowing, a programming language you also need to have good command of these key computer fundamentals to not only qualify the interview but also excel in you jobs as a software engineer.

This book assumes that you are a C# language developer. You are not an expert in C# language, but you are well familiar with concepts of classes, functions, arrays, pointers and recursion. At the start of this book, we will be looking into Complexity Analysis followed by the various data structures and their algorithms. We will be looking into a Linked-List, Stack, Queue, Trees, Heap, Hash-Table and Graphs. We will also be looking into Sorting, Searching techniques.

In last few chapters, we will be looking into various algorithmic techniques. Such as, Brute-Force algorithms, Greedy algorithms, Divide and Conquer algorithms, Dynamic Programming, Reduction and Backtracking.

Hands-On Data Structures and Algorithms with Rust

When I first made the effort of learning one programming language a year, I started with Ruby, then learned a bit of Scala, until, in 2015, I started with a very new language: Rust. My first attempts at creating a Slack (a team chat program) bot were somewhat successful but very frustrating. Being used to Python's flexibility with JSON data and permissive compiler, Rust's steep learning curve quickly took its toll.

The next projects were more successful. A database driver, as well as my very own Internet of Things (IoT)-type client and server application for the Raspberry Pi, allowed me to collect temperature data in a rock-solid manner. Unlike Python, if the program compiled, it would almost certainly work as expected—and I loved it.

Since then, a lot has changed. Big companies such as Microsoft and Amazon are picking up Rust as a way to create safe and fast code on embedded devices as well as in the cloud. With WebAssembly (Wasm), Rust is gaining traction in the web frontend space, and gaming companies are starting to build game engines in Rust. 2018 has been a great year for the technology and the Rust community, both of which will continue to grow in 2019 (and beyond).

For this reason, I hope to provide a learning resource for creating more sophisticated Rust code from a practical angle. Wherever your journey leads you, learning about Rust and its various programming models will change your view of code for the better.

Data Mining Algorithms in C++

Data mining is a broad, deep, and frequently ambiguous field. Authorities don’t even agree on a definition for the term. What I will do is tell you how I interpret the term, especially as it applies to this book. But first, some personal history that sets the background for this book…

I’ve been blessed to work as a consultant in a wide variety of fields, enjoying rare diversity in my work. Early in my career, I developed computer algorithms that examined high-altitude photographs in an attempt to discover useful things. How many bushels of wheat can be expected from Midwestern farm fields this year? Are any of those fields showing signs of disease? How much water is stored in mountain ice packs? Is that anomaly a disguised missile silo? Is it a nuclear test site?

Eventually I moved on to the medical field and then finance: Does this photomicrograph of a tissue slice show signs of malignancy? Do these recent price movements presage a market collapse?

All of these endeavors have something in common: they all require that we find variables that are meaningful in the context of the application. These variables might address specific tasks, such as finding effective predictors for a prediction model. Or the variables might address more general tasks such as unguided exploration, seeking unexpected relationships among variables—relationships that might lead to novel approaches to solving the problem.

That, then, is the motivation for this book. I have taken some of my most-used techniques, those that I have found to be especially valuable in the study of relationships among variables, and documented them with basic theoretical foundations and wellcommented C++ source code. Naturally, this collection is far from complete. Maybe Volume 2 will appear someday. But this volume should keep you busy for a while

You may wonder why I have included a few techniques that are widely available in standard statistical packages, namely, very old techniques such as maximum likelihood factor analysis and varimax rotation. In these cases, I included them because they are useful, and yet reliable source code for these techniques is difficult to obtain. There are times when it’s more convenient to have your own versions of old workhorses, integrated xii into your own personal or proprietary programs, than to be forced to coexist with canned packages that may not fetch data or present results in the way that you want.

Data Structures and Algorithms in C++

This book takes a minimalist approach to the traditional data structures course. It covers only those topics that are absolutely essential; the more esoteric structures and algorithms are left for later study. Suitable for an introductory data structures course or self-study, this book is written from the ground up in C++ (not translated from a Java-based text), and uses features of the C++ Standard Template Library to illustrate important concepts. A unique feature of the text is its use of literate programming techniques (originally developed by Donald Knuth) to present the sample code in a way that keeps the code from overwhelming the accompanying explanations. Source code samples from the book are available on the companion files. This book is suitable for an undergraduate data structures course using C++ or for developers needing review.

Domain-Specific Languages in R

This book introduces embedded domain-specific languages in R. The term domain-specific languages, or DSL, refers to programming languages specialized for a particular purpose, as opposed to general-purpose programming languages. Domain-specific languages ideally give you a precise way of specifying tasks you want to do and goals you want to achieve, within a specific context. Regular expressions are one example of a domain-specific language, where you have a specialized notation to express patterns of text. You can use this domain-specific language to define text strings to search for or specify rules to modify text. Regular expressions are often considered very hard to read, but they do provide a useful language for describing text patterns. Another example of a domain-specific language is SQL—a language specialized for extracting from and modifying a relational database. With SQL, you have an expressive domain-specific language in which you can specify rules as to which data points in a database you want to access or modify.

Разработка кроссплатформенных приложений на Python

В последние годы кроссплатформенная технология разработки мобильных и настольных приложений становится все более популярной. Кроссплатформенный подход позволяет создавать приложения для различных платформ с одной кодовой базой, что экономит время и деньги, и избавляет разработчиков от ненужных усилий.

Согласно исследованию Digital 2020 Reports, подготовленному компаниями We Are Social Inc. и Hootsuite Inc., число пользователей интернета по всему миру увеличивается на 9 человек в секунду. Это означает, что каждый день к мировому онлайн-сообществу присоединяется более 800 тысяч человек, которые пользуются как настольными, так и мобильными устройствами. Интересно, что мобильные приложения становятся все более популярными.

Проникновение смартфонов в повседневную жизнь растет во всем мире. Ожидается, что к 2024 году три из четырех используемых телефонов будут смартфонами. Согласно статистике StatCounter, доля пользователей настольных устройств снизилась до 45,66%. Это объясняется изменением нашего образа жизни. Мы проводим в интернете больше времени, чем когда-либо прежде. Почти каждый имеет доступ к смартфону или планшету. Учитывая то, что среднестатистический пользователь в среднем проводит в сети почти 7 часов в день, неудивительно, что более половины этого трафика поступает с мобильных устройств. Это, в свою очередь, способствует росту рынка мобильных приложений, что подтверждается статистикой. Согласно отчету Statista, за 2019 год, мировые доходы от мобильных приложений составили 461 млрд. долл., а к 2023 году платные загрузки и реклама в приложениях, как предполагается, принесут более 935 млрд. долл. дохода.

Сегодня на рынке мобильных платформ два крупных игрока – Android и iOS, которые вместе составляют около 99% от общей доли рынка мобильных операционных систем. Согласно различным статистическим данным, Android выигрывает по количеству пользователей, но нет недостатка и в сторонниках iOS, доля которого на рынке составляет 25,75%. В то время как Google Play Store может похвастаться большим количеством приложений (2,5 млн.), Apple App Store содержит более 1.8 млн. приложений. Одного этого факта достаточно, чтобы показать, что ни одну из двух платформ не следует упускать из виду.

Откройте для себя язык C

Язык программирования Си занял необычное промежуточное место между “ассемблером” и высокоуровневыми языками, вобрав одновременно преимущества обеих сторон. Эта книга предназначена как для начала освоения языка, так и для приобретения мышления, которое бы существенно упрощало работу с ним. Вероятно, желающие изучить Си уже имели опыт работы с высокоуровневыми языками наподобие Бейсика или Паскаля, и потому постараемся учесть этот опыт и извлечь из него пользу. Так что предполагаем, что обозначения в коде программы простейших арифметических действий будут читателю знакомы и понятны, а также — что читатель знаком с такими понятиями, как циклы и ветвления (операторы условия), которые используются в большинстве языков высокого уровня.

Но конечно, этого будет мало. Если вы желаете заговорить на иностранном языке, то даже самый лучший перевод по словарю полноценно вам не поможет, поскольку сам целевой язык построен иначе, чем ваш родной. Подобно этому, пусть даже имея на руках некий “словарь” языка Си, нельзя начать программировать на Си с мышлением, по привычке оставшимся от Бейсика. Однако, если изучаемый язык и ваш родной относятся к одному языковому древу, то опора на такое родство станет, особенно поначалу, существенным подспорьем; оттолкнувшись от того, что знакомо, вы обретёте решимость и опыт, необходимые для постижения тех сторон изучаемого языка, которые уже не имеют с вашим родным ничего общего.

Наш подход к изучению Си будет подобен вышеописанному. Мы не будем бросаться сразу изучать все-все возможности Си, пусть даже это позволило бы нам сразу писать краткий и изящный код. Как правило, краткую запись кода труднее читать, и она может сильно смутить новичка. Полноценное использование таких возможностей языка начнётся тогда, когда читатель освоится и будет к этому готов.

Наша книга условно состоит из двух частей. Главы с 1-й по 13-ю повествуют об основных возможностях языка — с примерами кода, задачами, а также (где это уместно) более обширными заданиями, призванными проверить качество понимания прочитанного. В главах с 14-й по 17-ю, на основе предыдущего содержания, рассказано о разработке самых настоящих приложений1 . В конце концов, компьютерные программы призваны упрощать жизнь человека, а Си по праву рождения — язык системного программирования. (В частности, он был разработан для написания операционной системы “UNIX”. Так что этот язык прекрасно подходит для разработки прикладных программ.) И задачи, выбранные нами, требуют создания таких программ: это арифметика с рациональными числами2 , так называемая черепашья графика3 , и выдача случайных чисел.

Deep Learning with Python

This book was written for anyone who wishes to explore deep learning from scratch or broaden their understanding of deep learning. Whether you’re a practicing machine-learning engineer, a software developer, or a college student, you’ll find value in these pages.

This book offers a practical, hands-on exploration of deep learning. It avoids mathematical notation, preferring instead to explain quantitative concepts via code snippets and to build practical intuition about the core ideas of machine learning and deep learning

You’ll learn from more than 30 code examples that include detailed commentary, practical recommendations, and simple high-level explanations of everything you need to know to start using deep learning to solve concrete problems.

The code examples use the Python deep-learning framework Keras, with TensorFlow as a backend engine. Keras, one of the most popular and fastest-growing deeplearning frameworks, is widely recommended as the best tool to get started with deep learning.

After reading this book, you’ll have a solid understand of what deep learning is, when it’s applicable, and what its limitations are. You’ll be familiar with the standard workflow for approaching and solving machine-learning problems, and you’ll know how to address commonly encountered issues. You’ll be able to use Keras to tackle real-world problems ranging from computer vision to natural-language processing: image classification, timeseries forecasting, sentiment analysis, image and text generation, and more.

Java Concurrency на практике

Потоки являются фундаментальной частью платформы Java. Многоядерные процессоры — это обыденная реальность, а эффективное использование параллелизма стало необходимым для создания любого высокопроизводительного приложения. Улучшенная виртуальная машина Java, поддержка высокопроизводительных классов и богатый набор строительных блоков для задач распараллеливания стали в свое время прорывом в разработке параллельных приложений. В «Java Concurrency на практике» сами создатели прорывной технологии объясняют не только принципы работы, но и рассказывают о паттернах проектирования. Легко создать конкурентную программу, которая вроде бы будет работать. Однако разработка, тестирование и отладка многопоточных программ доставляют много проблем. Код перестает работать именно тогда, как это важнее всего: при большой нагрузке. В «Java Concurrency на практике» вы найдете как теорию, так и конкретные методы создания надежных, масштабируемых и поддерживаемых параллельных приложений. Авторы не предлагают перечень API и механизмов параллелизма, они знакомят с правилами проектирования, паттернами и моделями, которые не зависят от версии Java и на протяжении многих лет остаются актуальными и эффективными.

Java 9 Concurrency Cookbook. 2 Ed

When you work with a computer, you can do several things at once. You can listen to music while you edit a document in a word processor and read your e-mails. This can be done because your operating system allows the concurrency of tasks. Concurrent programming is about the elements and mechanisms a platform offers to have multiple tasks or programs running at once and communicating with each other, to exchange data or to synchronize with each other. Java is a concurrent platform, and it offers a lot of classes to execute concurrent tasks inside a Java program. With each version, Java increases the functionalities offered to programmers to facilitate the development of concurrent programs. This book covers the most important and useful mechanisms included in version 9 of the Java concurrency API, so you will be able to use them directly in your applications. The mechanisms are as follows:

Basic thread management
Thread synchronization mechanisms
Thread creation and management delegation with executors
Fork/Join framework to enhance the performance of your application
Parallel streams to process big sets of data in a parallel way, including the new Java 9 reactive streams
Data structures for concurrent programs
Adapting the default behavior of some concurrency classes to your needs
Testing Java concurrency applications

C++20: Get the Details

My book C++20 is both a tutorial and a reference. It teaches you C++20 and provides you with the details of this new thrilling C++ standard. The thrill factor is mainly due to the big four of C++20:

Concepts change the way we think about and program with templates. They are semantic categories for template parameters. They enable you to express your intention directly in the type system. If something goes wrong, the compiler gives you a clear error message.
Modules overcome the restrictions of header files. They promise a lot. For example, the separation of header and source files becomes as obsolete as the preprocessor. In the end, we have faster build times and an easier way to build packages.
The new ranges library supports performing algorithms directly on the containers, composing algorithms with the pipe symbol, and applying algorithms lazily on infinite data streams.
Thanks to coroutines, asynchronous programming in C++ becomes mainstream. Coroutines are the basis for cooperative tasks, event loops, infinite data streams, or pipelines.

Of course, this is not the end of the story. Here are more C++20 features:

Auto-generated comparison operators
Calendar and time-zone libraries
Format library
Views on contiguous memory blocks
Improved, interruptible threads
Atomic smart pointers
Semaphores
Coordination primitives such as latches and barriers

Programming Scala. 3 Ed

While Java remains popular and Kotlin has become popular, Scala hasn't been sitting still. This third edition covers the new features in Scala 3.0 with updates throughout the book. Programming Scala is ideal for beginning to advanced developers who want a complete understanding of Scala's design philosophy and features with a thoroughly practical focus.

Глубокое обучение с R и Keras. 2 изд

99 Bottles of OOP. 2 ed

It turns out that everything you need to know about Object-Oriented Design (OOD) can be learned from the "99 Bottles of Beer" song.

Well, perhaps not everything, but quite certainly a great many things.

The song is simultaneously easy to understand and full of hidden complexity, which makes it the perfect skeleton upon which to hang lessons in OOD. The lessons embedded within the song are so useful, and so broad, that over the last three years it has become a core part of the curriculum of Sandi Metz’s Practical Object-Oriented Design course.

The thoughts in this book reflect countless hours of discussion and collaboration between Sandi, Katrina Owen, and TJ Stankus. These ideas have been battle-tested by hundreds of students, and refined by a series of deeply thoughtful co-instructors, beginning with Katrina. While none of the authors have the hubris to claim perfect understanding, all have learned a great deal about Object-Oriented Design from teaching this song, and feel compelled to write it all down.

Therefore, this book, now in its second edition. We hope that you find it both useful and enjoyable.

Practical Object-Oriented Design. 2 ed

This book assumes that you have at least tried to write object-oriented software. It is not necessary that you feel you succeeded, just that you made the attempt in any object-oriented (OO) language. Chapter 1, “Object-Oriented Design,” contains a brief overview of object-oriented programming (OOP), but its goal is to define common terms, not to teach programming.

If you want to learn OO design (OOD) but have not yet done any object-oriented programming, at least take a tutorial before reading this book. OOD solves problems; suffering from those problems is very nearly a prerequisite for comprehending these solutions. Experienced programmers may be able to skip this step, but most readers will be happier if they write some OO code before starting this book.

This book uses Ruby to teach OOD but you do not need to know Ruby to understand the concepts herein. There are many code examples but all are quite straightforward. If you have programmed in any OO language you will find Ruby easy to understand.

If you come from a statically typed OO language like Java or C++ you have the background necessary to benefit from reading this book. The fact that Ruby is dynamically typed simplifies the syntax of the examples and distills the design ideas to their essence, but every concept in this book can be directly translated to a statically typed OO language.

Pro Go

Go, also known as Golang, is the concise and efficient programming language designed by Google for creating high-performance, cross-platform applications. Go combines strong static types with simple syntax and a comprehensive standard library to increase programmer productivity, while still supporting features such as concurrent/parallel programming.

Each topic is covered in a clear, concise, no-nonsense approach that is packed with the details you need to learn to be truly effective. Chapters include common problems and how to avoid them.

What You Will Learn

Gain a solid understanding of the Go language and tools
Gain in-depth knowledge of the Go standard library

Шаблоны C++. 2-е изд

Концепции шаблонов в C++ более 30 лет. Шаблоны C++ были описаны еще в 1990 году в книге The Annotated С+ + Reference Manual(ARM; см. [39]), а до этого рассматривались в ряде более специализированных публикаций. Однако даже через десять лет ощущался недостаток литературы, которая бы фокусировалась на основных концепциях и передовых методах этой увлекательной, сложной и мощной возможности C++. Первым изданием данной книги мы хотели (возможно, несколько самонадеянно) решить эту проблему.

Со времени публикации первого издания в конце 2002 года в C++ изменилось очень многое. В стандарт C++ были добавлены новые возможности, кардинально изменившие сам язык, а непрерывные исследования сообщества программистов на C++ обнаружили новые методы программирования на основе шаблонов. Поэтому, сохранив цели первого издания, мы, по сути, написали новую книгу — о шаблонах в современном C++.

Авторы подошли к написанию этой книги с различным уровнем подготовки и с различными намерениями. Дэвид, опытный разработчик компиляторов и активный участник рабочих групп Комитета по стандартизации C++, которые развивают основы языка, заинтересован в точном и подробном описании всей мощи (и проблем) шаблонов. Нико, “обычный” программист и член рабочей группы Комитета по стандартизации библиотеки C++, заинтересован в таком понимании всех методов применения шаблонов, которое помогло бы активно и с выгодой их использовать. Дуг, разработчик библиотеки шаблонов, превратившийся в разработчика компиляторов и проектировщика языка, заинтересован в сборе, классификации и оценке многочисленных методов, используемых для построения библиотек шаблонов. Кроме того, все мы хотели бы поделиться этими знаниями с вами и всем сообществом, чтобы помочь избежать дальнейших недоразумений, путаниц или опасений при работе с шаблонами C++.

Как следствие, книга содержит и концептуальное введение с примерами из повседневной практики, и подробное описание точного поведения шаблонов. По дороге от основных принципов применения шаблонов до “искусства программирования шаблонов” вам будут открываться (или переоткрываться заново) такие методы, как статический полиморфизм, свойства типов, метапрограммирование и шаблоны выражений. Вы получите более глубокое понимание стандартной библиотеки C++, в которой почти весь код включает шаблоны.

Во время написания этой книги авторы узнали много нового и получили массу удовольствия. Надеемся, что с читателями произойдет го же самое. Приятного чтения!

Flutter Apprentice. 3rd Ed

Welcome to Flutter Apprentice!

Flutter is an incredible user interface (UI) toolkit that lets you build apps for iOS and Android — and even the web and desktop platforms like macOS, Windows and Linux — all from a single codebase.

Flutter has all the benefits of other cross-platform tools, especially because you’re targeting multiple platforms from one codebase. Furthermore, it improves upon most cross-platform tools thanks to a super-fast rendering engine that makes your Flutter apps perform as native apps.

In addition, Flutter features are generally independent of native features, since you use Flutter’s own type of UI elements, called widgets, to create your UI. And Flutter has the ability to work with native code, so you can integrate your Flutter app with native features when you need to.

If you’re coming from a platform like iOS or Android, you’ll find the Flutter development experience refreshing! Thanks to a feature called “hot reload”, you rarely need to rebuild your apps as you develop them. A running app in a simulator or emulator will refresh with code changes automatically as you save your source files!

In this book, you’ll see how to build full-featured Flutter apps, gain experience with a wide range of Flutter widgets and learn how to deploy your apps to mobile app stores.

Real-World Flutter by Tutorials. 1st Ed

This book will teach you to build professional iOS and Android apps for the real world using Flutter. You’ll gain all the foundations of mobile development you need to make the best decisions in your own codebase while addressing critical problems such as state management, user authentication and dynamic theming.

Asyncio и конкурентное программирование на Python

Если типичную программу на стандартном Python подвергнуть слишком высокой нагрузке, то она будет работать с черепашьей скоростью. Для решения этой проблемы была разработана библиотека Asyncio, которая позволяет разбить программу на более мелкие задачи и планировать их выполнение. В итоге получающиеся приложения работают молниеносно и допускают масштабирование.

В этой книге асинхронное, параллельное и конкурентное программирование рассматривается на конкретных примерах. Сложные для понимания вопросы иллюстрируются с помощью диаграмм, позволяющих наглядно представить, как работают задачи. Вы узнаете, как asyncio преодолевает ограничения Python и способствует ускорению медленных веб-серверов и микросервисов. Вы даже научитесь сочетать asyncio с традиционной многопроцессной обработкой, получив в награду резкий скачок производительности.

Для программистов на Python среднего уровня. Опыт работы с конкурентностью не требуется.

Nuxt.js is an open-source JavaScript library based on Vue.js that uses Node.js, Webpack, and Babel.js under the hood. Nuxt.js takes inspiration from Next.js, a framework of similar purpose that’s based on React.js.

Nuxt.js takes Vue.js development to the next level and builds upon Vue.js. Think of it as a framework for a framework—adding two significant features to Vue.js: server-side rendering; and easy Vue.js application configuration and routing through folders and files.

Язык UML. Руководство пользователя. 2-е изд

Унифицированный язык моделирования (Unified Modeling Language, UML) является графическим языком для визуализации, специфицирования, конструирования и документирования систем, в которых большая роль принадлежит программному обеспечению. С помощью UML можно разработать детальный план создаваемой системы, содержащий не только ее концептуальные элементы, такие как системные функции и бизнес-процессы, но и конкретные особенности, например классы, написанные на специальных языках программирования, схемы баз данных и программные компоненты многократного использования.

Предлагаемое вашему вниманию руководство пользователя содержит справочный материал, дающий представление о том, как можно использовать UML для решения разнообразных проблем моделирования. В книге подробно, шаг за шагом, описывается процесс разработки программных систем на базе данного языка.

Издание адресовано читателям, которые уже имеют общее представление об объектно-ориентированных концепциях (опыт работы с конкретными объектно-ориентированными языками или методиками не требуется, хотя желателен). В первую очередь руководство предназначено для разработчиков, занятых созданием моделей UML. Тем не менее, книга будет полезна всем, кто осваивает, создает, тестирует или выпускает в свет программные системы.

Впрочем и новички, только начинающие осваивать азы C++, найдут в ней много полезного. Книга снабжена множеством понятных примеров, написана легко и интересно.

Освой самостоятельно C++ по одному часу в день. 8-е изд

2011 и 2014 годы были особенно важными для языка C++. В то время как новый стандарт С++11 внес в язык программирования кардинальные изменения, новые ключевые слова и конструкции, повышающие эффективность программирования, C++14 скорее добавил завершающие штрихи к возможностям, внесенным в язык стандартом С++11.

Эта книга поможет вам изучить язык C++11 маленькими шагами. Она специально разделена на отдельные занятия, на которых основные принципы этого языка объектно-ориентированного программирования излагаются с практической точки зрения. Вы сможете овладеть языком С++11, уделяя каждому занятию всего один час.

Наилучший способ изучения языка программирования — его практическое применение, поэтому в книге очень много разнообразных примеров кода, анализируя которые, вы улучшите свои знания языка программирования C++. Эти фрагменты кода протестированы с использованием последних версий компиляторов, имеющихся на момент написания книги, а именно — компиляторов Microsoft Visual C++ и GNU C++, которые охватывают большинство возможностей С++14.

Python. unittest

Эта книга позволит вам максимально комфортно войти в мир тестирования в Python. Основное внимание в ней уделено созданию тестов, объединению их в группы, запуску, обработке результатов тестирования и пропуску ненужных тестов. Рассмотрена работа с классами TestCase, TestSuite, TestLoader, TestResult и TextTestRunner.

Трудно представить какой-то современный программный проект без тестирования. При этом тестирование осуществляется практических на всех этапах разработки продукта: начиная, непосредственно, с процесса создания функций, методов и классов и т.д., когда пишутся unit-тесты (а иногда и раньше, в случае, если используется TDD), и заканчивая функциональным и нагрузочным тестированием уже готового, развернутого продукта.

В рамках данной книги, мы остановимся только на автономном тестировании. Автономное тестирование еще называют модульным или unit-тестированием (unit-testing). Здесь и далее под словом тестирование будет пониматься именно автономное тестирование. Важной характеристикой unit-теста является его повторяемость, т.е. результат его работы не зависит от окружения (внешнего мира), если же приходится обращаться к внешнему миру в процессе выполнения теста, то необходимо предусмотреть возможность подмены “мира” какой-то статичной сущностью. Unit -тесты могут быть написаны собственноручно, без использования сторонних библиотек, а можно использовать специализированные framework’и. На сегодняшний день практически всегда используется второй вариант.

В мире Python существуют три framework’а, которые получили наибольшее распространение: 1) unittest; 2) nose; 3) pytest.

unittest – это framework для тестирования в Python, который позволяет разрабатывать автономные тесты, собирать тесты в коллекции, обеспечивает независимость тестов от framework’а отчетов и т.д. Его архитектура выполнена в стиле xUnit. xUnit представляет собой семейство framework’ов для тестирования в разных языках программирования, в Java - это JUnit, C# - NUnit и т.д. Если вы уже сталкивались с данным каркасом в других языках, то это упростит понимание unittest. Данная книга посвещена unittest и тестированию приложений с его использованием.

Язык программирования C# 7 и платформы .NET и .NET Core

Эта книга представляет собой полный источник сведений о языке программирования C# и о связанной с ним инфраструктуре. В 8-м издании книги вы найдете описание функциональных возможностей самых последних версий C# 7.0 и 7.1 и .NET 4.7, а также совершенно новые главы о легковесной межплатформенной инфраструктуре Microsoft .NET Core, включая версию .NET Core 2.0. Книга охватывает ASP.NET Core, Entity Framework (EF) Core и т.д. наряду с последними обновлениями платформы .NET, в том числе внесенными в Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) и ASP.NET MVC.

Платформа Microsoft .NET (и связанный с ней язык программирования С#) впервые была представлена примерно в 2002 году и быстро стала главной опорой современной индустрии разработки программного обеспечения. При написании данного руководства преследовались две цели. Первая из них — предоставление читателям глубокого и подробного описания синтаксиса и семантики языка С#. Вторая (не менее важная) цель — иллюстрация применения многочисленных API-интерфейсов .NET, в числе которых доступ к базам данных с помощью ADO.NET и Entity Framework (EF), пользовательские интерфейсы, построенные посредством Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), ориентированные на службы приложения, созданные с помощью Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), а также веб-службы и веб-сайты, реализованные посредством ASP.NET MVC. Последняя часть книги посвящена самому новому члену семейства .NET, .NET Core, который представляет собой межплатформенную версию .NET. Как говорят, пеший поход длиной тысячу километров начинается с первого шага, который и будет сделан в начале этой книги.

Погрузитесь в данную книгу и поймите, почему на протяжении более 15 лет она была лидером у разработчиков по всему миру. Сформируйте прочный фундамент в виде знания приемов объектно-ориентированной обработки, атрибутов и рефлексии, обобщений и коллекций, а также множества более сложных тем, которые не раскрываются в других книгах (коды операций CIL, выпуск динамических сборок и т.д.). С помощью этого руководства вы сможете уверенно использовать язык C# на практике и хорошо ориентироваться в мире .NET.

Книга предназначена для опытных разработчиков ПО, заинтересованных в освоении новых средств .NET 4.7, .NET Core и языка C#. Она будет служить всеобъемлющим руководством и настольным справочником как для тех, кто впервые переходит на платформу .NET, так и для тех, кто ранее писал приложения для предшествующих версий .NET.

В книге рассматриваются следующие темы:

Новейшие возможности версий C# 7.0 и 7.1, от кортежей до сопоставления с образцом
Базовые основы легковесной платформы Microsoft с открытым кодом .NET Core, включая ASP.NET Core MVC, веб-службы ASP.NET Core и Entity Framework Core
Полное описание XAML, .NET 4.7 и Visual Studio 2017
Философия, лежащая в основе .NET и новой межплатформенной версии .NET Core

Expert Python Programming. 4th Ed

The Python programming book is intended for expert programmers who want to learn about Python's advanced-level concepts and latest features.

This book is written for Python developers who wish to go further in mastering Python. And by developers, I mean mostly professional programmers who write Python software for a living. This is because it focuses mostly on tools and practices that are crucial for creating performant, reliable, and maintainable software in Python.

However, this does not mean that hobbyists won't find anything interesting. This book is great for anyone who is interested in learning advanced-level concepts with Python. Anyone who has basic Python skills should be able to follow the content of the book, although it might require some additional effort from less experienced programmers. It should also be a good introduction to the newest releases of Python for those who are still a bit behind and continue to use older versions of Python.

Java in a Nutshell. 7th Ed

This book is a desktop Java reference, designed to sit faithfully by your keyboard while you program. Part I is a fast-paced, “no-fluff ” introduction to the Java programming language and the core runtime aspects of the Java platform. Part II is a reference section that blends elucidation of core concepts with examples of impor‐ tant core APIs. The book covers Java 11, but we recognize that some shops may not have adopted it yet—so where possible we call out if a feature was introduced in Java 8, 9, or 10. We use Java 11 syntax throughout, including var and lambda expressions.

Changes in the Seventh Edition

The sixth edition of this book covers Java 8, whereas this edition covers Java 11. However, the release process of Java changed significantly with the advent of Java 9, so this book is released only a year after Java 9 arrived. Java 11 is also the first longterm support (LTS) release of Java since Java 8, so it seems likely that many Java shops will jump straight to Java 11 from Java 8.

With the seventh edition we have tried to update the concept of what it means to be a “Nutshell” guide. The modern Java developer needs to know more than just syntax and APIs. As the Java environment has matured, such topics as concurrency, objectoriented design, memory, and the Java type system have all grown in importance— even among mainstream developers.

In this edition, we have taken the approach that only the most recent versions of Java are likely to be of interest to the majority of Java developers, so we usually only call out when new features arrived if it was with Java 8 or later.

The module system (that arrived with Java 9) is still likely to be new for at least some developers, and it represents a major change.

Comprehensive Ruby Programming

Coding has become one of the most critical skills you can have for furthering your career. Whether you are an experienced developer who wants to learn a new language or you are new to programming, this course can be your comprehensive Ruby coding guide. Starting with foundational principles, such as syntax and scaling up, to advanced topics, such as metaprogramming and big data analysis, I wanted to create a curriculum that will give you all the tools you need to be a professional Ruby developer. With over a decade of real-world development experience, I have engineered this book to ensure it focuses on the skills you will need to be a professional Ruby developer.

This is a complete course written from the ground up for beginners wanting to gain a solid understanding of the Ruby language. It starts at the beginning with how to install Ruby and work with it on multiple machines, so simply have a computer that's connected to the Internet and you'll be ready.

Beginning Rust Programming

Save me from another “hello, world” book. Don’t make me have to skim or skip through a half dozen chapters before I can get to something that’s going to be useful to me. Or you, in this case. I can’t tell you the number of programming books I’ve purchased over the decades, hoping to actually learn the language, only to end up just not using the book because it wasn’t presented in a way that made a lot of sense to me. Instead of a dry explanation of how the language is constructed so you can try to put it all together in meaningful ways yourself, the purpose of this book is to jump straight into writing hopefully interesting or useful programs. Once we have the program, we can take a look at how it’s constructed. You’ll be learning by doing—or learning by example, if you prefer. I hope you’ll find this a more useful and practical way of learning Rust.

Rust is an interesting language, as it turns out. Like so many other languages, it claims a C-like syntax, which is roughly correct but misses out on many important elements. Where Rust really shines is where C has introduced bad behavior in programming practices. This is more apparent as more have been using C as a language. Where C provides you with the gun and the bullets to shoot yourself in the foot, Rust provides you with necessary protections to keep you from injuring yourself or, from the perspective of the application, keeps the application from crashing. Rust is focused on protecting the memory space of the program, in part to provide a better ability for concurrent programming. After all, Rust is considered to be a systems programming language, meaning it is intended for applications that are lower level than those that a user directly interacts with.

In addition to protections provided to the programmer, Rust has a reasonably active community that can be used not only for support but also to get additional functionality for your programs. There are a lot of third-party libraries. These libraries can make your life easier by introducing you to functionality without you needing to write it yourself.

The idea behind this book is to introduce you to Rust in context, rather than via snippets that, by themselves, don’t work. You need all the surround to fully understand what is happening in the program. You’ll find this out when you are looking at example code sometimes. This is true with the Rust documentation: it’s like you need to fully understand the language to understand the examples you are looking at. This book doesn’t take that approach. It assumes that you don’t know the language, so every line in every program is explained in as much detail as is necessary to pull it all apart, since Rust can be a dense language in some ways. This means single lines can pack a lot of meaning and functionality.

The one thing this book does not assume, though, is that you are coming to programming completely fresh. You will see examples for the programs written in Rust also presented in other programming languages. This may be helpful if you come from another language like C or Python, for instance, but want to learn Rust. Seeing the approach in a language you know before translating it into Rust may be beneficial. If you don’t know those other languages, you can skip through those examples and jump to the explanation of how to write a program for the problem under discussion in Rust. You can still compare the other languages to Rust as you are going through so you can better understand Rust and how it is different from other languages.

Прикладной анализ текстовых данных на Python

Технологии анализа текстовой информации стремительно меняются под влиянием машинного обучения. Нейронные сети из теоретических научных исследований перешли в реальную жизнь, и анализ текста активно интегрируется в программные решения. Нейронные сети способны решать самые сложные задачи обработки естественного языка, никого не удивляет машинный перевод, «беседа» с роботом в интернет-магазине, перефразирование, ответы на вопросы и поддержание диалога. Почему же Сири, Алекса и Алиса не хотят нас понимать, Google находит не то, что мы ищем, а машинные переводчики веселят нас примерами «трудностей перевода» с китайского на албанский? Ответ кроется в мелочах — в алгоритмах, которые правильно работают в теории, но сложно реализуются на практике. Научитесь применять методы машинного обучения для анализа текста в реальных задачах, используя возможности и библиотеки Python. От поиска модели и предварительной обработки данных вы перейдете к приемам классификации и кластеризации текстов, затем приступите к визуальной интерпретации, анализу графов, а после знакомства с приемами масштабирования научитесь использовать глубокое обучение для анализа текста.

Особенностью данного издания является уникальный способ подачи материала, выделяющий серию «Head First» издательства O’Reilly в ряду множества скучных книг, посвященных программированию.

Стандартная библиотека Python 3. 2 изд

В состав каждого дистрибутива Python входит стандартная библиотека. Она содержит сотни модулей, которые предоставляют инструменты, предназначенные для взаимодействия с операционной системой, интерпретатором и Интернетом. Все они тщательно протестированы и готовы к немедленному использованию в приложениях. В этой книге, созданной на основе ставшей популярной серии статей Python Modute of the Week (PyMOTW), которая публиковалась в моем блоге, представлены избранные примеры, демонстрирующие возможности наиболее часто используемых модулей, в полной мере соответствующих одному из девизов Python: “Батарейки входят в комплект”.

Для кого предназначена эта книга

Книга рассчитана на программистов средней квалификации, разрабатывающих программы на языке Python. В связи с этим, несмотря на то что каждый из приведенных примеров сопровождается обсуждением, объяснение отдельных строк кода приводится лишь в редких случаях. Во всех разделах основное внимание уделено демонстрации возможностей модулей на примере полностью автономных фрагментов исходного кода, обеспечивающих получение конечного результата. Для иллюстрации применения каждого средства используется как можно более компактный код, чтобы внимание читателя не отвлекалось на второстепенные детали, а фокусировалось на демонстрируемых возможностях модуля или функции.

Опытные программисты, знакомые с другими языками, могут использовать книгу для изучения языка Python, но при написании текста не ставилась задача сделать книгу введением в этот язык программирования. Наибольшую пользу изучение примеров принесет тем читателям, которые уже имеют опыт написания программ на Python.

Некоторые разделы, например те, в которых речь идет о сетевом программировании с помощью сокетов или о механизме HMAC, требуют определенных знаний в соответствующей предметной области. Примеры сопровождаются необходимыми пояснениями, однако диапазон тем, с которыми связаны модули стандартной библиотеки, настолько широк, что дать исчерпывающие объяснения по каждой теме в рамках одной книги совершенно нереально. Обсуждение каждого модуля завершается приведением ссылок на рекомендованные источники дополнительной информации, включая онлайн-ресурсы, документы RFC и книги.

Python и машинное обучение

Книга является всеобъемлющим руководством по машинному и глубокому обучению с использованием языка Python. Она служит как пошаговым учебным пособием, так и справочником, к которому вы постоянно будете возвращаться в ходе построения систем машинного обучения.

Книга наполнена четкими пояснениями, визуальными представлениями, работающими примерами и детально раскрывает все важные методики машинного обучения. В то время как некоторые книги учат вас следовать инструкциям, Рашка и Мирджалили излагают принципы, лежащие в основе машинного обучения, что позволит вам самостоятельно строить модели и приложения.

Третье издание книги обновлено с целью учета версии библиотеки TensorFlow 2 и последних добавлений в scikit-learn. Оно расширено для охвата двух самых современных методик машинного обучения: обучения с подкреплением и порождающих состязательных сетей.

Эта книга — ваш попутчик в машинном обучении с применением Python, будь вы разработчиком приложений на языке Python, не знакомым с машинным обучением, или разработчиком, желающим углубить свои знания в современных областях.

Глубокое обучение на Python

Глубокое обучение — Deep learning — это набор алгоритмов машинного обучения, которые моделируют высокоуровневые абстракции в данных, используя архитектуры, состоящие из множества нелинейных преобразований. Согласитесь, эта фраза звучит угрожающе. Но всё не так страшно, если о глубоком обучении рассказывает Франсуа Шолле, который создал Keras — самую мощную библиотеку для работы с нейронными сетями. Познакомьтесь с глубоким обучением на практических примерах из самых разнообразных областей. Книга делится на две части: в первой даны теоретические основы, вторая посвящена решению конкретных задач. Это позволит вам не только разобраться в основах DL, но и научиться использовать новые возможности на практике.

Обучение — это путешествие длиной в жизнь, особенно в области искусственного интеллекта, где неизвестностей гораздо больше, чем определенности

Advanced Java® EE Development with WildFly®

WildFly is the new name for JBoss Application Server (JBoss AS) starting with version 8.0.0. WildFly provides high startup speed, low memory overhead, a high-performance, scalable web server, customizable runtime based on pluggable subsystems, and support for Java EE 7 and the latest web development standards. In past references to the server, "JBoss" is still used, but for subsequent references, "WildFly" is used. According to the Developer Productivity Report 2012, referred to subsequently as the "2012 report", JBoss is the most commonly used application server, with 28 percent of Java developers or organizations using the application server, more than any other application server. The same report indicated that 67 percent of Java developers use the Maven build tool, more than any other build tool. Eclipse is used by 68 percent of Java developers. The Java Tools and Technologies Landscape for 2014 report (referred to subsequently as the "2014 report") indicates that JBoss is the most commonly used application server in both development (16 percent) and production (17 percent). In the book, we discuss developing Java EE applications using WildFly 8.1.0, Maven 3, and Eclipse IDE. The book combines the most commonly used tools for Java EE development: WildFly, Maven, and Eclipse IDE.

The book is based on the Java EE standards 5, 6, and 7. We will discuss the commonly used technologies and frameworks JAX-RS 1.1, JSF 2.0, JPA 2.0, JAX-WS 2.2, EJB 3.0, Hibernate 4, Ajax, GWT 2.4, and Spring 3.1. The new Java EE7 support for JAX-RS 2.0 is discussed with RESTEasy. The new Java EE 7 feature for processing JSON is also discussed.

While several books on WildFly administration are available, none on Java EE application development with WildFly are available. WildFly is the most commonly used application server with support for all the commonly used Java EE technologies and frameworks. WildFly is efficient, lightweight, and modular, and provides a flexible deployment structure. JBoss Tools provides a set of plugins with support for WildFly, Maven, and Java EE frameworks such as JSF. Maven is the most commonly used build tool for compiling and packaging a Java EE application based on a project-object model (POM). Maven provides dependency management. The Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers is the most commonly used Java EE IDE.

The C# Player's Guide. 5th Ed

I have a firmly held personal belief, grown from decades of programming: in a very real sense, programming is a game. At least, it can be like playing a game with the right mindset.

For me, spending a few hours programming—crafting code that bends these amazing computational devices to my will and creating worlds of living software—is entertaining and rewarding. It competes with delving into the Nether in Minecraft, snatching the last Province card in Dominion, or taking down a reaper in Mass Effect.

I don’t mean that programming is mindless entertainment. It is rarely that. Most of your time is spent puzzling out the right next step or figuring out why things aren’t working as you expected. But part of what makes games engaging is that they are challenging. You have to work for it. You apply creativity and explore possibilities. You practice and gain abilities that help you win.

You'll be in good shape if you approach programming with this same mindset because programming requires this same set of skills. Some days, it will feel like you are playing Flappy Bird, Super Meat Boy, or Dark Souls—all notoriously difficult games—but creating software is challenging in all the right ways.

Introducing javascript Game Development

This book provides a full set of exercises in which we will build a fully functional HTML canvas game. Though not a direct clone, the game is inspired by the 1979 Atari classic, Asteroids. The code is provided for you and is introduced piece by piece over the various chapters of the book.

If you’d like to try Asteroids, or if you’ve never played it, the the modern Atari version can be played at https://atari.com/arcade#!/arcade/ asteroids/play. I’ve made a few different gameplay decisions for the game we create in this book, and I encourage you to attempt to adapt the game in any direction you like as we go along, if you feel confident in doing so. It’s all good practice!

Typically, each chapter introduces an area of game design in a generic way, develops the ideas towards implementing an aspect of the Asteroids game, and urges you to think about alternative approaches. Towards the end of the book, the game will be complete, and you should have all the skills necessary to build a quality game of your own.

During most of the exercises, you’re encouraged to be creative. Go through the material provided, consider the challenges presented, and explore the impact of modifying the provided code. There’s no “correct” way to design a game like this—it involves making many decisions, and the provided code is only one of thousands of possible ways to do it. So, please, try it your way if you feel confident enough. That’s a great way to learn something.

Введение в разработку игр на JavaScript

Если вы хотите попробовать Asteroids или никогда не играли в них, в современную версию Atari можно играть по адресу https://atari.com/#!/arcade/asteroids/play. Я принял несколько разных игровых решений для игры, которую мы создаем в этой книге, и я призываю вас попытаться адаптировать игру в любом направлении, которое вам нравится, по мере продвижения вперед, если вы чувствуете себя в этом уверенно. Это хорошая практика! Как правило, каждая глава знакомит с областью игрового дизайна в общем виде, развивает идеи по реализации одного из аспектов игры Asteroids и побуждает вас подумать об альтернативных подходах. К концу книги игра будет завершена, и вы должны обладать всеми навыками, необходимыми для создания собственной качественной игры.

Во время большинства упражнений вас поощряют к творчеству. Просмотрите предоставленный материал, рассмотрите представленные проблемы и исследуйте влияние изменения предоставленного кода. Не существует «правильного» способа разработать такую игру - это требует принятия множества решений, а предоставленный код - лишь один из тысяч возможных способов сделать это. Так что, пожалуйста, попробуйте по-своему, если вы чувствуете себя достаточно уверенно. Это отличный способ чему-то научиться.

Изучай Haskell во имя добра!

На взгляд автора, сущность программирования заключается в решении проблем. Программист всегда думает о проблеме и возможных решениях – либо пишет код для выражения этих решений.

Язык Haskell имеет множество впечатляющих возможностей, но главное его свойство в том, что меняется не только способ написания кода, но и сам способ размышления о проблемах и возможных решениях. Этим Haskell действительно отличается от большинст ва языков программирования. С его помощью мир можно представить и описать нестандартным образом. И поскольку Haskell предлагает совершенно новые способы размышления о проблемах, изучение этого языка может изменить и стиль программирования на всех прочих

Ещё одно необычное свойство Haskell состоит в том, что в этом языке придаётся особое значение рассуждениям о типах данных. Как следствие, вы помещаете больше внимания и меньше кода в ваши программы.

Вне зависимости от того, в каком направлении вы намерены двигаться, путешествуя в мире программирования, небольшой заход в страну Haskell себя оправдает. А если вы решите там остаться, то наверняка найдёте чем заняться и чему поучиться!

Эта книга поможет многим читателям найти свой путь к Haskell.

Full-Stack React, TypeScript, and Node

According to GitHub, the largest repository for open source software, JavaScript is still the most popular programming language in the world. More projects are written in JavaScript than any other language. Even projects normally not associated with the web, such as machine learning and crypto currencies, often use JavaScript.

The JavaScript programming language is enormously powerful and capable, but in addition to the language, there are frameworks, including React and Node, that add to the language's capabilities, making it even better. On top of this, TypeScript has now become the standard for doing large JavaScript projects. It provides language features that make coding with JavaScript more productive and better suited for large applications.

Modern web development has advanced tremendously over the years. In the past, client code generally meant static HTML and CSS, with perhaps a tiny bit of JavaScript. And the backend was usually written in a completely different language, such as PHP or CGI scripts. However, it is now common to write the entire application, from client to server, using only JavaScript and its related frameworks. This ability to write our applications using only a single language provides enormous benefits during development. Furthermore, the robust and mature frameworks that are available make full stack programming in JavaScript competitive with any other platform.

In this book, we will learn to use the power of JavaScript to build complete full stack web applications. We will augment this power with TypeScript, another powerful top-ten language. Then, using frameworks such as React, Redux, Node, Express, and GraphQL, we will build a realistic, fully functional best-practices web application that will give you all the knowledge you need in order to build modern full stack web applications. And once our application is complete, we'll deploy it to AWS cloud services, the world's most popular and feature-rich cloud services provider.

Java. Полное руководство. 12-е изд

Java - один из самых важных и широко используемых языков программирования в мире. На протяжении многих лет ему была присуща эта отличительная особенность. В отличие от ряда других языков программирования, влияние которых с течением времени ослаб евало, влияние Java становилось только сильнее. С момента своего первого выпуска язык Java выдвинулся на передний край программирования для Интернета. Его позиции закреплялись с каждой последующей версией. На сегодняшний день Java по-прежнему является первым и лучшим выбором для разработки веб-приложений, а также мощным языком программирования общего назначения, подходящий для самых разных целей. Проще говоря, большая часть современного кода написана на Java. Язык Java действительно настолько важен.

Ключевая причина успеха языка Java кроется в его гибкости. С момента своего первоначального выпуска 1.0 он постоянно адаптировался к изменениям в среде программирования и к изменениям в способах написания кода программистами. Самое главное то, что язык Java не просто следовал тенденциям - он помогал их создавать. Способность языка Java приспосабливаться к быстрым изменениям в мире программирования является важной частью того, почему он был и остается настолько успешным.

С момента первой публикации этой книги в 1996 году она выдержала множество переизданий, в каждом из которых отражалась непрерывная эволюция Java. Текущее двенадцатое издание книги обновлено с учетом Java SE 17 (JDK 17). В и тоге оно содержит значительный объем нового материала, обновлений и изменений. Особый интерес представляет обсуждение следующих ключевых возможностей, которые были добавлены в язык Java в сравнении с предыдущим изданием:

усовершенствования оператора switch;
записи;
сопоставление с образцом в instanceof;
запечатанные классы и интерфейсы;
текстовые блоки.

В совокупности они составляют существенный набор новых функциональных средств, которые значительно расширяют диапазон охвата, область применимости и выразительность языка. Усовершенствования switch добавляют мощи и гибкости этому основополагающему оператору управления. Появившиеся записи предлагают эффективный способ агрегирования данных. Добавление сопоставления с образцом в instanceof обеспечивает более рациональный и устойчивый подход к решению обычной задачи программирования. Запечатанные классы и интерфейсы делают возможным детализированный контроль над наследованием. Текстовые блоки позволяют вводить многострочные строковые литералы, что значительно упрощает процесс вставки таких строк в исходный код. Все вместе новые функциональные средства существенно расширяют возможности разработки и внедрения решений.

Искусственный интеллект и компьютерное зрение

Кем бы вы ни были — инженером-программистом, стремящимся войти в мир глубокого обучения, опытным специалистом по обработке данных или любителем, мечтающим создать «вирусное» приложение с использованием ИИ, — наверняка задавались вопросом: с чего начать? Практические примеры из этой книги научат вас создавать приложения глубокого обучения для облачных, мобильных и краевых (edge) систем. Если вы хотите создать что-то необычное, полезное, масштабируемое или просто классное — эта книга для вас.

Многолетний опыт исследований в области глубокого обучения и разработки приложений позволяют авторам научить каждого воплощать идеи в нечто невероятное и необходимое людям в реальном мире.

Effective C

This book is an introduction to the C language. It is written to be as accessible as possible to anyone who wants to learn C programming, without dumbing it down. In other words, we didn’t overly simplify C programming in the way many other introductory books and courses might. These overly simplified references will teach you how to get code to compile and run, but the code might still be wrong. Developers who learn how to program C from such sources will typically develop substandard, flawed, insecure code that will eventually need to be rewritten (often sooner than later). Hopefully, these developers will eventually benefit from senior developers in their organizations who will help them unlearn these harmful misconceptions about programming in C, and help them start developing professional quality C code. On the other hand, this book will quickly teach you how to develop correct, portable, professional-quality code, build a foundation for developing security-critical and safety-critical systems, and perhaps teach you a thing or two that even the senior developers at your organization don’t know.

Effective C: An Introduction to Professional C Programming is a concise introduction to essential C language programming that will soon have you writing programs, solving problems, and building working systems. The code examples are idiomatic and straightforward.

In this book, you’ll learn about essential programming concepts in C and practice writing high-quality code with exercises for each topic. You’ll also learn about good software engineering practices for developing correct, secure C code. Go to this book’s page at https://www.nostarch.com/effective_c/ or to https://robertseacord.com/wp/ where we will provide updates and additional material. If you are interested in learning more about secure coding in C, C++, or other languages after completing this book, please check out the training classes offered through NCC Group at https://www.nccgroup.trust/us/our-services/cyber-security/security-training/secure-coding/

Элегантные объекты. Java Edition

Об объектно-ориентированном программировании (ООП) написано много книг. Зачем нужна еще одна? Затем, что мы в опасности. Мы все дальше уходим от того, что было задумано создателями ООП, и у нас все меньше шансов вернуться. Все существующие ООП-языки предлагают рассматривать объекты как структуры данных с прикрепленными процедурами, что в корне неверно. Появляются новые языки, но они делают так же или даже хуже. Объектно-ориентированных программистов заставляют думать так, как процедурные программисты думали 40 лет назад. То есть думать не как объекты, а как компьютеры.

Эта книга представляет собой сборник практических рекомендаций, которые, как мне кажется, могут изменить ситуацию и остановить деградацию ООП. Большинство из них я прочел в различных источниках, а некоторые просто придумал.

Двадцать три совета сгруппированы в четыре главы: рождение, школа, трудоустройство и выход на пенсию. Речь пойдет о мистере Объекте, антропоморфной сущности в объектноориентированном мире. Он родится, пойдет в школу, устроится на какую-нибудь работу, а затем выйдет на пенсию. Посмотрим, как будут развиваться события, и попробуем узнать что-то новое. Вместе. Поехали!

Объяснимые модели искусственного интеллекта на Python

В книге рассматриваются так называемые модели «черного ящика» для повышения адаптивности, интерпретируемости и объяснимости решений, принимаемых алгоритмами искусственного интеллекта (ИИ) с использованием библиотек Python XAI, TensorFlow 2.0+, Keras, а также пользовательских фреймворков с использованием Python Wrappers.

Издание предназначено специалистам по анализу данных, инженерам по внедрению моделей ИИ, а также может быть полезно бизнес-пользователям и руководителям проектов, использующих результаты работы решений ИИ в своей деятельности.

Scala for Data Science

Data science is fashionable. Data science startups are sprouting across the globe and established companies are scrambling to assemble data science teams. The ability to analyze large datasets is also becoming increasingly important in the academic and research world.

Why this explosion in demand for data scientists? Our view is that the emergence of data science can be viewed as the serendipitous collusion of several interlinked factors. The first is data availability. Over the last fifteen years, the amount of data collected by companies has exploded. In the world of research, cheap gene sequencing techniques have drastically increased the amount of genomic data available. Social and professional networking sites have built huge graphs interlinking a significant fraction of the people living on the planet. At the same time, the development of the World Wide Web makes accessing this wealth of data possible from almost anywhere in the world.

The increased availability of data has resulted in an increase in data awareness. It is no longer acceptable for decision makers to trust their experience and "gut feeling" alone. Increasingly, one expects business decisions to be driven by data.

Finally, the tools for efficiently making sense of and extracting insights from huge data sets are starting to mature: one doesn't need to be an expert in distributed computing to analyze a large data set any more. Apache Spark, for instance, greatly eases writing distributed data analysis applications. The explosion of cloud infrastructure facilitates scaling computing needs to cope with variable data amounts.

Scala is a popular language for data science. By emphasizing immutability and functional constructs, Scala lends itself well to the construction of robust libraries for concurrency and big data analysis. A rich ecosystem of tools for data science has therefore developed around Scala, including libraries for accessing SQL and NoSQL databases, frameworks for building distributed applications like Apache Spark and libraries for linear algebra and numerical algorithms. We will explore this rich and growing ecosystem in the fourteen chapters of this book.

Applied Text Analysis with Python

As we explored the architecture of language in the previous chapter, we began to see that it is possible to model natural language in spite of its complexity and flexibility. And yet, the best language models are often highly constrained and applicationspecific. Why is it that models trained in a specific field or domain of the language would perform better than ones trained on general language? Consider that the term “bank” is very likely to be an institution that produces fiscal and monetary tools in an economics, financial, or political domain, whereas in an aviation or vehicular domain it is more likely to be a form of motion that results in the change of direction of an aircraft. By fitting models in a narrower context, the prediction space is smaller and more specific, and therefore better able to handle the flexible aspects of language.

The bulk of our work in the subsequent chapters will be in “feature extraction” and “knowledge engineering” - where we’ll be concerned with the identification of unique vocabulary words, sets of synonyms, interrelationships between entities, and seman‐ tic contexts. However, all of these techniques will revolve around a central text data‐ set: the corpus.

Corpora are collections of related documents that contain natural language. A corpus can be large or small, though generally they consist of hundreds of gigabytes of data inside of thousands of documents. For instance, considering that the average email inbox is 2GB, a moderately sized company of 200 employees would have around a half-terabyte email corpus. Documents contained by a corpus can also vary in size, from tweets to books. Corpora can be annotated, meaning that the text or documents are labeled with the correct responses for supervised learning algorithms, or unanno‐ tated, making them candidates for topic modeling and document clustering.

Naturally the next question should then be “how do we construct a dataset with which to build a language model?” In order to equip you for the rest of the book, this chapter will explore the preliminaries of construction and organization of a domainspecific corpus. Working with text data is substantially different from working with purely numeric data, and there are a number of unique considerations that we will need to take. Whether it is done via scraping, RSS ingestion, or an API, ingesting a raw text corpus in a form that will support the construction of a data product is no trivial task. Moreover, when dealing with a text corpus, we must consider not only how the data is acquired, but also how it is organized on disk. Since these will be very large, often unpredictable datasets, we will need to anticipate potential performance problems and ensure memory safety through streaming data loading and multiproc‐ essing. Finally, we must establish a systematic preprocessing method to transform our raw ingested text into a corpus that is ready for computation and modeling. By the end of this chapter, you should be able to organize your data and establish a reader that knows how to access the text on disk and present it in a standardized fashion for downstream analyses.

Biostatistical Design and Analysis Using R

R is a powerful and flexible statistical and graphical environment that is freely distributed under the GNU Public Licencea for all major computing platforms (Windows, MacOSX and Linux). This open source licence along with a relatively simple scripting syntax has promoted diverse and rapid evolution and contribution. As the broader scientific community continues to gain greater instruction and exposure to the overall project, the popularity of R as a teaching and research tool continues to accelerate.

It is now widely acknowledged that R proficiency as a scientific skill set is becoming increasingly more desirable and useful throughout the scientific community. However, as with most open source developments, the emphasis of the R project remains on the expansive development of tools and features. Applied documentation still remains somewhat sparse and somewhat incomprehensible to the average biologist. Whilst there are a number of excellent texts on R emerging, the bulk of these texts are devoted to the R language itself. Any featured examples therein are used primarily for the purpose of illustrating the suite of commonly used R features and procedures, rather than to illustrate how R can be used to perform common biostatistical analyses.

Coinciding with the increasing interest in R as both a learning and research tool for biostatistics, has been the success of a relatively new major biostatistics textbook (Quinn and Keough, 2002). This text provides detailed coverage of most of the major statistical concepts and tests that biologists are likely to encounter with an emphasis on the practical implementation of these concepts with real biological data. Undoubtedly, a large part of the appeal of this book is attributable to the extensive use of real biological examples to augment and reinforce the text. Furthermore, by concentrating on the information biologists need to implement their research, and avoiding the overuse of complex mathematical descriptions, the authors have appealed to those biologists who don’t require (or desire) a knowledge of performing or programming entire analyses from scratch. Such biologists tend to use statistical software that is already available and specifically desire information that will help them achieve reliable statistical and biological outcomes. Quinn and Keough (2002) also advocate a number of alternative texts that provide more detailed coverage of specific topics and that also adopt this real example approach.

Practical Docker with Python

Docker has exploded in popularity and has become the de facto target as a containerization image format as well as a containerization runtime. With modern applications getting more and more complicated, the increased focus on microservices has led to adoption of Docker, as it allows for applications along with their dependencies to be packaged into a file as a container that can run on any system. This allows for faster turnaround times in application deployment and less complexity and it negates the chances of the “it-works-on-my-server-but-not-on-yours” problem.

Practical Docker with Python covers the fundamentals of containerization, gets you acquainted with Docker, breaks down terminology like Dockerfile and Docker Volumes, and takes you on a guided tour of building a chatbot using Python. You’ll learn how to package a traditional application as a Docker Image.

Go Optimizations 101

This book provides some code performance optimization tricks, tips, and suggestions. Most of the contents in this book are made based on the official standard Go compiler and runtime implementation.

Life is full of trade-offs, the programming world is, too. In programming, we often need to make trade-offs between code readability, maintainability, development efficiency, and program efficiency, etc. Even for one of the aspects, there are also trade-offs needing to be made. Taking program efficiency for an example, we might need to make trade-offs between memory saving, code execution speed, and implementation difficulty, etc.

In practice, most parts of the code base of a project don’t need to be implemented with high performances. Keeping them maintainable and readable is often more important (than making them memory saving and run very fast). The suggestions made in this book are just for the code parts which implementations really need to be high performant. Some of the suggestions often lead to more verbose code. And please note that some of the suggested implementations might be only performant at some certain scenarios.

The contents in this book include:

how to consume less CPU resources.
how to consume less memory.
how to make less memory allocations.
how to control memory allocation places.
how to reduce garbage collection pressure.

This book neither explains how to use performance analysis tools, such as pprof, nor tries to study deeply on compiler and runtime implementation details. None of the contents provided in this book make use of unsafe pointers and cgo. And the book doesn’t talk about algorithms. In other words, this book tries to provide some optimization suggestions in a way which is clear and easy to understand, for daily general Go programming.

Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming. 2nd Ed

Modern X86 Assembly Language Programming, Second Edition is an edifying text about x86 64-bit (x86-64) assembly language programming. The book’s content and organization are designed to help you quickly understand x86-64 assembly language programming and the computational resources of Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX). It also contains an abundance of source code that is structured to accelerate learning and comprehension of essential x86-64 assembly language constructs and SIMD programming concepts. After reading and using this book, you’ll be able to code performance-enhancing functions and algorithms using x86-64 assembly language and the AVX, AVX2, and AVX-512 instruction sets.

Before proceeding I should explicitly mention that this book does not cover x86-32 assembly language programming. It also doesn’t discuss legacy x86 technologies such as the x87 floating-point unit, MMX, and Streaming SIMD Extensions. The first edition remains relevant if you’re interested in learning about these topics. This book does not explain x86 architectural features or privileged instructions that are used in operating systems. However, you will need to thoroughly understand the material that’s presented in this book to develop x86 assembly language code for use in an operating system.

While it is still theoretically possible to write an entire application program using assembly language, the demanding requirements of contemporary software development make such an approach impractical and ill advised. Instead, this book concentrates on coding x86-64 assembly language functions that are callable from C++. Each source code example was created using Microsoft Visual Studio C++ and Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM).

Assembly Language for x86 Processors. 7 Ed

Assembly Language for x86 Processors, 7e is suitable for undergraduate courses in assembly language programming and introductory courses in computer systems and computer architecture. Proficiency in one other programming language, preferably Java, C, or C++, is recommended.

Автоматизация рутинных задач с помощью Python. 2-изд

В наши дни трудно найти сферу человеческой деятельности, в которой не использовалось бы программное обеспечение. Все мы общаемся в социальных сетях, наши смартфоны — это по сути компьютеры, подключенные к Интернету, а в офисах у всех установлены компьютеры. Как следствие, это привело к стремительному росту спроса на программистов. Бесчисленные книги по программированию, вебинары, семинары для разработчиков — все они обещают превратить амбициозных новичков в компьютерных инженеров, заработная плата которых выражается шестизначными числами.

Это книга не для них. Она предназначена для всех остальных.

Прочтение книги не сделает из вас профессионального разработчика, точно так же, как нескольких уроков игры на гитаре навряд ли будет достаточно для того, чтобы стать рок-звездой. Но если вы офисный работник, администратор, преподаватель или просто используете компьютер для развлечений, то, изучив основы программирования в том объеме, который предлагается в данной книге, вы сможете автоматизировать следующие простые задачи:

перемещение и переименование тысяч файлов и их сортировка по папкам;
заполнение веб-форм без ввода данных вручную; Введение 27
загрузка файлов или копирование текста с веб-сайта при его обновлении;
отправка компьютером заранее подготовленных уведомлений;
обновление и форматирование электронных таблиц Excel;
проверка электронной почты и рассылка заранее подготовленных писем.

Все это простые задачи, но отнимают у нас массу времени. Кроме того, зачастую они настолько тривиальны или специфичны, что готовых программ для их решения нет. Вооружившись даже минимальными знаниями в области программирования, вы сможете заставить свой компьютер выполнять эти задачи вместо вас.

Tiny Python Projects

Who should read this book?

After you read this book and write all the programs, I would hope that you will be a zealot for creating programs that are documented, tested, and reproducible.

I think my ideal reader is someone who’s been trying to learn to code well but isn’t quite sure how to level up. Perhaps you are someone who’s been playing with Python or some other language that has a similar syntax, like Java(Script) or Perl. Maybe you’ve cut your teeth on something really different, like Haskell or Scheme, and you’re wondering how to translate your ideas to Python. Maybe you’ve been writing Python for a while and are looking for interesting challenges with enough structure to help you know when you’re moving in the right direction.

This is a book that will teach you to write well-structured, documented, testable code in Python. The material introduces best practices from industry such as testdriven development—that’s when the tests for a program exist even before the program itself is written! I will show you how to read documentation and Python Enhancement Proposals (PEPs) and how to write idiomatic code that other Python programmers would immediately recognize and understand.

This is probably not an ideal book for the absolute beginning programmer. I assume no prior knowledge of the Python language specifically, because I’m thinking of someone who is coming from another language. If you’ve never written a program in any language at all, you might do well to come back to this material when you are comfortable with ideas like variables, loops, and functions.

Deep Learning and the Game of Go

Deep Learning and the Game of Go is intended to introduce modern machine learning by walking through a practical and fun example: building an AI that plays Go. By the end of chapter 3, you can make a working Go-playing program, although it will be laughably weak at that point. From there, each chapter introduces a new way to improve your bot’s AI; you can learn about the strengths and limitations of each technique by experimenting. It all culminates in the final chapters, where we show how AlphaGo and AlphaGo Zero integrate all the techniques into incredibly powerful AIs.

Who should read this book?

This book is for software developers who want to start experimenting with machine learning, and who prefer a practical approach over a mathematical approach. We assume you have a working knowledge of Python, although you could implement the same algorithms in any modern language. We don’t assume you know anything about Go; if you prefer chess or some similar game, you can adapt most of the techniques to your favorite game. If you are a Go player, you should have a blast watching your bot learn to play. We certainly did!

Beginning R

This book is for anyone who needs to analyze any data, whatever their discipline or line of work. Whether you are in science, business, medicine, or engineering, you will have data to analyze and results to present. R is powerful and flexible and completely cross-platform. This means you can share data and results with anyone. R is backed by a huge project team, so being free does not mean being inferior!

If you are completely new to R, this book will enable you to get it and start to become familiar with it. There is no assumption that you know anything about the program to begin with. If you are already familiar with R, you will find this book a useful reference that you can call upon time and time again; the first chapter is largely concerned with installing R, so you may want to skip to Chapter 2.

This book is not about statistical analyses, so some familiarity with basic analytical methods is helpful (but not obligatory). The book deals with the means to make R work for you; this means learning the language of R rather than learning statistics. Once you are familiar with R you will be empowered to use it to undertake a huge variety of analytical tasks, more than can be conveniently packaged into a single book. R also produces presentation-quality graphics and this book leads you through the complexities of that.

The Recursive Book of Recursion

Who Is This Book For?

This book is for those who are intimidated or intrigued by recursive algorithms. Recursion is one of those topics that seems like black magic to beginner programmers or freshman computer science students. Most recursion lessons are hard to follow and make the subject seem frustrating, even fearsome. For these readers, I hope this book’s direct explanations and ample examples can help make the topic finally click.

The only prerequisite for this book is basic programming experience with either the Python or JavaScript programming languages, which the chapters’ code examples use. The book’s programs have been stripped down to their essences; if you know how to call and create functions and the difference between global and local variables, you know enough to work through the programming examples.

Practical Python AI Projects

What Is This Book About?

Artificial intelligence is a wide field covering diverse techniques, objectives, and measures of success. One branch is concerned with finding provably optimal solutions to some well-defined problems.

This book is an introduction to the art and science of implementing mathematical models of optimization problems.

An optimization problem is almost any problem that is, or can be, formulated as a question starting with “What is the best … ?” For instance,

What is the best route to get from home to work?
What is the best way to produce cars to maximize profit?
What is the best way to carry groceries home: paper or plastic?
Which is the best school for my kid?
Which is the best fuel to use in rocket boosters?
What is the best placement of transistors on a chip?
What is the best NBA schedule?

These questions are rather vague and can be interpreted in a multitude of ways. Consider the first: by “best” do we mean fastest, shortest, most pleasant to ride, least bumpy, or least fuel-guzzling? Besides, the question is incomplete. Are we walking, riding, driving, or snowboarding? Are we alone or accompanied by a screaming toddler?

To help us formulate solutions to optimization problems, optimizers1 have established a frame into which we mould the questions; it’s called a model. The most crucial aspect of a model is that it has an objective and it has constraints. Roughly, the objective is what we want and the constraints are the obstacles in our way. If we can reformulate the question to clearly identify both the objective and the constraints, we are closer to a model.

Let’s consider in more detail the “best route” problem but with an eye to clarify objective and constraints. We could formulate it as

Given a map of the city, my home address, and the address of the daycare of my two-year-old son, what is the best route to take on my bike to bring him to daycare as fast as possible?

The goal is to find among all the solutions that satisfy the requirements (that is, paths following either streets or bike lanes, also known as the constraints) one path that minimizes the time it takes to get there (the objective).

Objectives are always quantities we want to maximize or minimize (time, distance, money, surface area, etc.), although you will see examples where we want to maximize something and minimize something else; this is easily accommodated. Sometimes there are no objectives. We say that the problem is one of feasibility (i.e. we are looking for any solution satisfying the requirements). From the point of view of the modeler, the difference is minimal. Especially since, in most practical cases, a feasibility model is usually a first step. After noticing a solution, one usually wants to optimize something and the model is modified to include an objective function.

Computer Science Programming Basics in Ruby

Computer science introductory texts are often unnecessarily long. Many exceed 500 pages, laboriously describing every nuance of whatever programming language they are using to introduce the concepts.

There is a better way: a programming language that has a low entry barrier. Preferably, the language selected should be a real, widely used language with a subset that is powerful and useful, yet mercifully small. Such a choice should arm the readers with marketable tools. The esoteric details of the programming language, however, should be ignored but with pointers for future investigation provided.

Ruby is a programming language well suited to this task. It is object-oriented, interpreted, and relatively straightforward. More so, instead of being purely educationally oriented, its popularity in industry is steadfastly growing.

Our book should be covered in sequential fashion. Each chapter assumes that the material from the preceding chapters has been mastered. To focus the discussion, we ignore gory details, such as user interface design and development issues, that we believe are ancillary to the core of computer science. Such issues should be, and are, covered in depth in a variety of subsequent courses.

Our target audience is students and practitioners who wish to learn computer science using Ruby rather than just how to program in a given language. This book consistently emphasizes why computer science is different from computer programming. Students and practitioners must understand what an algorithm is and what differentiates differing algorithms for the same task. Although we are living in an era of growing compu‐ tational resources, we are also living in a world of growing data sets. Data amass every day; thus, efficient algorithms are needed to process these data.

Students and practitioners completing a course using this book possess foundational knowledge in the basics of computer science and are prepared to master abstract and advanced concepts. Second semester courses should rely on languages other than Ruby, furthering the understanding that programming languages are just interchangeable, expressive tools. We know, however, that many students and practitioners may not take another computer science course. If that is the case, this book provides them with an overview of the field and an understanding of at least one popular programming lan‐ guage that happens to be useful from both a practical and a pedagogical standpoint.

Concepts taught in this book provide students and practitioners with a sufficient foundation to later learn more complex algorithms, advanced data structures, and new programming languages.

Finally, we hope to instill a core appreciation for algorithms and problem solving so students and practitioners will solve problems with elegance and inspiration rather than simply plowing ahead with brute force.

Delphi Cookbook. 2 ed

What you need for this book

This book talks about Delphi, so you need it. Not all the recipes are available in all the Delphi editions. Typically, the mobile projects can be compiled only if you have Delphi Enterprise or higher (or Delphi Professional plus the mobile add-on, or RAD Studio professional or higher). All the projects are compiled and tested with the latest Delphi version at the time of writing, but many recipes can be compiled also on older versions.

If you want to run the mobile app on a phone or a tablet, you could use the Android emulator or the iOS simulator, but we strongly suggest an actual device to see how the app really behaves. To deploy an iOS app on your device, you also need an Apple computer with MacOSX.

Who this book is for

This book aims to help the professional Delphi developers in their day-to-day job. This book will teach you about the newest Delphi technologies and its hidden gems. It is not a book for a newbie, but the practical approach will help you reach a new level with your Delphi skills. The experienced developer can benefit from this book because nontrivial problems are solved using best practices. Where more than one way is available or the topic is too broad to be explained in the available pages, references are provided to allow you to go deeper in that field. It is a book to have on your desk for the next few years.

В заключение дается краткий обзор применения разных библиотек поддержки конкуренции и демонстрируется возможность их совместного использования.

Fortran for Scientists & Engineers

The first edition of this book was conceived as a result of my experience in writing and maintaining large Fortran programs in both the defense and geophysical fields. During my time in industry, it became obvious that the strategies and techniques required to write large, maintainable Fortran programs were quite different from what new engineers were learning in their Fortran programming classes at school. The incredible cost of maintaining and modifying large programs once they are placed into service absolutely demands that they be written to be easily understood and modified by people other than their original programmers. My goal for this book is to teach simultaneously both the fundamentals of the Fortran language and a programming style that results in good, maintainable programs. In addition, it is intended to serve as a reference for graduates working in industry.

It is quite difficult to teach undergraduates the importance of taking extra effort during the early stages of the program design process in order to make their programs more maintainable. Class programming assignments must by their very nature be simple enough for one person to complete in a short period of time, and they do not have to be maintained for years. Because the projects are simple, a student can often “wing it” and still produce working code. A student can take a course, perform all of the programming assignments, pass all of the tests, and still not learn the habits that are really needed when working on large projects in industry.

From the very beginning, this book teaches Fortran in a style suitable for use on large projects. It emphasizes the importance of going through a detailed design process before any code is written, using a top-down design technique to break the program up into logical portions that can be implemented separately. It stresses the use of procedures to implement those individual portions, and the importance of unit testing before the procedures are combined into a finished product. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of exhaustively testing the finished program with many different input data sets before it is released for use.

In addition, this book teaches Fortran as it is actually encountered by engineers and scientists working in industry and in laboratories. One fact of life is common in all programming environments: Large amounts of old legacy code that have to be maintained. The legacy code at a particular site may have been originally written in Fortran IV (or an even earlier version!), and it may use programming constructs that are no longer common today. For example, such code may use arithmetic IF statements, or computed or assigned GO TO statements. Chapter 18 is devoted to those older features of the language that are no longer commonly used, but that are encountered in legacy code.

The chapter emphasizes that these features should never be used in a new program, but also prepares the student to handle them when he or she encounters them.

If you’re already a systems programmer and you’re ready for an alternative to C++, this book is for you. If you’re an experienced developer in any programming language, whether that’s C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, or something else, this book is for you too.

However, you don’t just need to learn Rust. To get the most out of the language, you also need to gain some experience with systems programming. We recommend reading this book while also implementing some systems programming side projects in Rust. Build something you’ve never built before, something that takes advantage of Rust’s speed, concurrency, and safety. The list of topics at the beginning of this preface should give you some ideas.

Python Data Science Handbook. 2 ed

In my teaching both at the University of Washington and at various techfocused conferences and meetups, one of the most common questions I have heard is this: “How should I learn Python?” The people asking are generally technically minded students, developers, or researchers, often with an already strong background in writing code and using computational and numerical tools. Most of these folks don’t want to learn Python per se, but want to learn the language with the aim of using it as a tool for dataintensive and computational science. While a large patchwork of videos, blog posts, and tutorials for this audience is available online, I’ve long been frustrated by the lack of a single good answer to this question; that is what inspired this book.

The book is not meant to be an introduction to Python or to programming in general; I assume the reader has familiarity with the Python language, including defining functions, assigning variables, calling methods of objects, controlling the flow of a program, and other basic tasks. Instead, it is meant to help Python users learn to use Python’s data science stack— libraries such as those mentioned in the following section, and related tools —to effectively store, manipulate, and gain insight from data.

Programming Android with Kotlin

There are plenty of books that show how Android works, how Kotlin works, or how concurrency works. Kotlin is becoming wildly popular with Android development for its easy adoption and cleaner syntax, but Kotlin offers Android much more than that: it offers new ways to solve concurrency problems in Android. We wrote this book to provide a unique and specific intersectionality of these topics in great depth. Both Android and Kotlin are rapidly changing, separately and together. Trying to keep up with all the changes can be difficult.

We view this book as a valuable checkpoint in history: showing where Android came from, where it is now, and how it will continue to evolve with Kotlin as the language matures.

Dart Apprentice. 1st Ed

There are many programming languages you can start learning today.

But not many are modern, easy to learn, object-oriented and scalable as Dart. Plus, combined with Flutter, it allows you to build native iOS & Android applications with a single code base.

Dart Apprentice will teach you all the basic concepts you need to master this language. Follow along the easily and thoroughly explained concepts and you will be building Dart applications in a breeze.

Dart Apprentice: Beyond the Basics. 1st Ed

Most of the chapters in this book build on the ones that precede it, so you’ll find it easiest to understand if you progress through the chapters in order.

For readers coming from Dart Apprentice: Fundamentals, you’ll learn the most by following along and trying each of the code examples, exercises and challenges as you come to them. The way to learn to code is by writing code and experimenting with it. That can’t be emphasized enough.

More advanced readers may want to skim the content of this book to get up and running quickly. If that’s you, try the challenges at the end of every chapter. If they’re easy, move on to the next chapter. If they’re not, go back and read the relevant parts of the chapter and check the challenge solutions.

Finally, for all readers, Kodeco is committed to providing quality, up-to-date learning materials. We’d love to have your feedback. What parts of the book gave you one of those aha learning moments? Was some topic confusing? Did you spot a typo or an error? Let us know at forums.kodeco.com and look for the particular forum category for this book.

Dart Apprentice: Fundamentals. 1st Ed

Dart is a modern and powerful programming language. Google intentionally designed it to be unsurprising. In many ways, it’s a boring language, and that’s a good thing! It means Dart is fast and easy to learn. While Dart does have some unique characteristics, if you have any experience with other object-oriented or C-style languages, you’ll immediately feel at home with Dart. Even if you come here as a complete beginner to programming, Dart is a good place to start. The concepts that you’ll learn in this book will give you a solid foundation for your coding career.

There’s a good chance you picked up this book because you want to make a Flutter app, and you heard you needed to learn Dart. It was no accident that Flutter chose Dart as its language. The Dart virtual machine allows lightning-fast development-time rebuilds, and its ahead-of-time compiler creates native applications for every major platform. As one of the most versatile languages on the market today, you can use Dart to write anything from command-line apps and backend servers to native applications for Android, iOS, web, Mac, Windows, Linux and even embedded devices.

It’s no wonder then that developers across the world have taken notice. Rather than completely rewriting the same application in different languages for multiple platforms, developers save countless hours by using a single language and a shared codebase. This translates to a win for companies as well because they save money without sacrificing speed.

Data Structures & Algorithms in Dart. 1st Ed

The chapters in this book build on each other, so most readers will want to progress through the content in a linear manner.

Most chapters begin by introducing a data structure or algorithm with examples and illustrations. This is to help you gain a high-level conceptual understanding before diving into the code. Adventurous readers may wish to pause at this point and try to implement the data structure or algorithm on their own before looking at how the chapter does it. Even if you’re not successful, attempting to solve the problem will almost certainly cause you to have a deeper understanding of the requirements. An alternative strategy is to work through each chapter directly. Then, when finished, delete all of the code you copied and try to reproduce the data structure or algorithm based on your understanding.

You’ll find challenge problems at the end of many chapters. These will help to test your understanding of what you learned. Try to solve the challenges yourself before looking at the answers. When you need to look, you can find the solutions at the end of the book or in the supplemental downloadable materials that accompany the book.

Python. Исчерпывающее руководство

Разнообразие возможностей современного Python становится испытанием для разработчиков всех уровней. Как программисту на старте карьеры понять, с чего начать, чтобы это испытание не стало для него непосильным? Как опытному разработчику Python понять, эффективен или нет его стиль программирования? Как перейти от изучения отдельных возможностей к мышлению на Python на более глубоком уровне? «Python. Исчерпывающее руководство» отвечает на эти, а также на многие другие актуальные вопросы.

Эта книга делает акцент на основополагающих возможностях Python (3.6 и выше), а примеры кода демонстрируют «механику» языка и учат структурировать программы, чтобы их было проще читать, тестировать и отлаживать. Дэвид Бизли знакомит нас со своим уникальным взглядом на то, как на самом деле работает этот язык программирования.

Перед вами практическое руководство, в котором компактно изложены такие фундаментальные темы программирования, как абстракции данных, управление программной логикой, структура программ, функции, объекты и модули, лежащие в основе проектов Python любого масштаба.

Изучай Erlang во имя добра!

Усеянная беспечными иллюстрациями и смесью развлекательных и практических примеров программ, книга «Изучай Erlang во имя добра!» является отличным пунктом отправления в иногда безумный, но всегда восхитительный мир Erlang. Вероятно, вас привело к Erlang обещание конкурентности или параллелизма. Возможно, это аспект языка, касающийся распределённых вычислений, а может быть, необычный подход к устойчивости против сбоев. Одним из величайших препятствий на пути изучения Erlang является не столько то, что идеям его свойственна сложность, но и то, что они сильно отличаются от идей большинства других языков, которые вам встречались. Переменные в Erlang не переменны. Вам не следует программировать в ожидании ошибки. Процессы действительно очень дёшевы, и вы можете иметь тысячи их одновременно, даже миллионы, если вам так захочется. Ох, и потом этот странный синтаксис. Erlang совершенно не похож на Java; нет ни методов, ни классов, ни объектов. И, обождите… знак равенства вовсе не означает «равно»… Издание предназначено как для начинающих изучать Erlang, так и для более опытных разработчиков. Даже в том случае, если читатель очень хорошо знаком с Erlang, книга сможет стать справочником и даже научить чему-то новому.

Pro C# 9 with .NET 5. 10th ed

Technology authors write for a demanding group of people (for the best of possible reasons). You know that building software solutions using any platform or language is extremely complicated and is specific to your department, company, client base, and subject matter. Perhaps you work in the electronic publishing industry, develop systems for the state or local government, or work at NASA or a branch of the military. Collectively, we have worked in a variety of industries, including developing children’s educational software (Oregon Trail/Amazon Trail), various enterprise systems, and projects within the medical and financial industries. The chances are almost 100 percent that the code you write at your place of employment has little to do with the code we have authored over the years.

Therefore, in this book, we have deliberately chosen to avoid creating demonstrations that tie the example code to a specific industry or vein of programming. Given this, we explain C#, OOP, the .NET Runtime, and the .NET Core base class libraries using industry-agnostic examples. Rather than having every example fill a grid with data, calculate payroll, or some other domain-specific task, we stick to subject matter we can all relate to: automobiles (with some geometric structures and employee payroll systems thrown in for good measure). And that’s where you come in.

Our job is to explain the C# programming language and the core aspects of the .NET 5 platform the best we possibly can. As well, we will do everything we can to equip you with the tools and strategies you need to continue your studies at this book’s conclusion.

Your job is to take this information and apply it to your specific programming assignments. We obviously understand that your projects most likely don’t revolve around automobiles with friendly pet names (Zippy the BMW or a Yugo named Clunker, among others), but that’s what applied knowledge is all about!

Rest assured, once you understand the topics and concepts presented within this text, you will be in a perfect position to build .NET 5 solutions that map to your own unique programming environment.

C# in Depth. 4th ed

Welcome to the fourth edition of C# in Depth. When I wrote the first edition, I had little idea I’d be writing a fourth edition of the same title 10 years later. Now, it wouldn’t surprise me to find myself writing another edition in 10 years. Since the first edition, the designers of the C# language have repeatedly proved that they’re dedicated to evolving the language for as long as the industry is interested in it.

This is important, because the industry has changed a lot in the last 10 years. As a reminder, both the mobile ecosystem (as we know it today) and cloud computing were still in their infancy in 2008. Amazon EC2 was launched in 2006, and Google AppEngine was launched in 2008. Xamarin was launched by the Mono team in 2011. Docker didn’t show up until 2013.

For many .NET developers, the really big change in our part of the computing world over the last few years has been .NET Core. It’s a cross-platform, open source version of the framework that is explicitly designed for compatibility with other frameworks (via .NET Standard). Its existence is enough to raise eyebrows; that it is Microsoft’s primary area of investment in .NET is even more surprising.

Through all of this, C# is still the primary language when targeting anything like .NET, whether that’s .NET, .NET Core, Xamarin, or Unity. F# is a healthy and friendly competitor, but it doesn’t have the industry mindshare of C#.

I’ve personally been developing in C# since around 2002, either professionally or as an enthusiastic amateur. As the years have gone by, I’ve been sucked ever deeper into the details of the language. I enjoy those details for their own sake but, more importantly, for the sake of ever-increasing productivity when writing code in C#. I hope that some of that enjoyment has seeped into this book and will encourage you further in your travels with C#.

Основы программирования на примере языка Python

В основу предлагаемого учебного пособия положен цикл видео-уроков и занятий, проведенных автором для студентов СПбГЭУ, учеников лицея № 95 и слушателей курсов Epic Skills.

Цель пособия – рассказать об основах программирования для слушателей с минимальным знанием информатики. За 10-12 занятий данный курс позволяет научиться проектировать и разрабатывать приложения, используя базовые возможности языка программирования Python.

Язык программирования Python входит в пятерку по популярности в мире, поэтому найти по нему литературу не составит труда. На желающих стать программистами обрушится гора справочников и «лучших рекомендаций» по разработке приложений любого уровня сложности, но среди всех этих книг новичку бывает сложно разобраться, а первое знакомство с толстыми справочниками по внутреннему устройству Python может навсегда отпугнуть от занятия программированием.

На взгляд автора, не следует сваливать на головы учащихся сразу всю справочную информацию и множество правил, существующих в языках программирования. «Не следует множить сущее без необходимости» . Некоторые темы в пособии специально пришлось упростить, чтобы в вводном курсе не вдаваться в излишние детали, но в век Интернета поиск справочной информации не должен составить труда.

Java. Полное руководство. 10-е изд

В этом десятом издании справочного пособия, полностью обновленном с учетом последней версии Java SE 9, поясняется, как разрабатывать, компилировать, отлаживать и выполнять программы на языке программирования Java.

Это пособие составлено Гербертом Шилдтом, автором популярных во всем мире книг по языкам программирования, таким образом, чтобы охватить все языковые средства Java, включая синтаксис, ключевые слова, основные принципы объектно-ориентированного программирования, значительную часть прикладного интерфейса Java API, библиотеки классов, аплеты и сервлеты, компоненты JavaBeans, библиотеки AWT и Swing, а также продемонстрировать их применение на простых и наглядных примерах. Не обойдены вниманием и новые средства, появившиеся в версии Java SE 9, в том числе модули и утилита JShell.

Идиомы и паттерны проектирования в современном С++

В книге акцент сделан на паттерны проектирования, которые отвечают есrесrвенным нуждам программиста на С++, а также паттернам, выигрывающим от уникальных особенностей С++, в частности, обощенного программирования. Вооруженные знанием этих паттернов, вы будете тратить меньше времени на поиск решения конкретной задачи и познакомитесь с решениями, доставшимися тяжким опытом других разработчиков, их достоинствами и недосrатками.

Издание предназначено программистам на С++, хорошо владеющих средсrвами и синтаксисом языка.

Введение в статистическое обучение с примерами на языке R

Книга представляет собой доступно изложенное введение в статистическое обучение - незаменимый набор инструментов, позволяющих извлечь полезную информацию из больших и сложных наборов данных, которые начали возникать в последние 20 лет в таких областях, как биология, экономика, маркетинг, физика и др. В этой книге описаны одни из наиболее важных методов моделирования и прогнозирования, а также примеры их практического применения. Рассмотренные темы включают линейную регрессию, классификацию, создание повторных выборок, регуляризацию, деревья решений, машины опорных векторов, кластеризацию и др. Описание этих методов сопровождается многочисленными иллюстрациями и практическими примерами. Поскольку цель этого учебника заключается в продвижении методов статистического обучения среди практикующих академических исследователей и промышленных аналитиков, каждая глава включает примеры практической реализации соответствующих методов с помощью R - чрезвычайно популярной среды статистических вычислений с открытым кодом.

Издание рассчитано на неспециалистов, которые хотели бы применять современные методы статистического обучения для анализа своих данных. Предполагается, что читатели ранее прослушали лишь курс по линейной регрессии и не обладают знаниями матричной алгебры.

Параллельное программирование на современном языке C++

Книга во всех подробностях освещает параллельное программирование на современном языке C++. Особое внимание уделено опасностям и трудностям параллельного программирования (например, гонке данных и мертвой блокировке) и способам борьбы с ними. Приводятся многочисленные примеры кода, позволяющие читателю легко закрепить теорию на практических примерах.

Издание адресовано читателям, которые хотят освоить параллельное программирование на одном из наиболее распространенных языков.

Python Workout

In many ways, learning a programming language is like learning a foreign (human) language. You can take a course, understand the subject, and even do well on the final exam. But when it comes time to actually use the language, you can find yourself flustered, unsure of just what syntax to use, or what’s the most appropriate way to phrase something—let alone be unable to understand native speakers.

That’s where practice comes in. Practicing a foreign language gives you greater fluency and confidence, allowing you to engage in deeper and more interesting conversations. Practicing Python allows you to solve problems more quickly and easily, while simultaneously writing more readable and maintainable code. The improvement happens over time, as you use the language in new and varied situations. It often isn’t obvious that you have improved. And yet, when you look back to how you were using the language just a few months before, the difference is stark.

This book isn’t meant to teach you Python. Rather, it’s meant to give you the practice you need to achieve greater fluency. After going through the exercises in this book—not just skimming through the questions and peeking at the answers—you will write more readable, more idiomatic, and more maintainable Python code.

Python Workout is the result of conversations with students in my corporate Python training classes. Once the course was over, they often asked where they could get additional practice, to continue improving their skills. This book draws upon the hands-on labs that I give my students, as well as discussions that I have had with them during and after class.

The exercises are designed to help you internalize some of the core ideas in Python: core data structures, functions, comprehensions, object-oriented programming, and iterators. These might seem like simple topics, perhaps even too simple for a book of exercises. But all of Python, from the largest application to the smallest script, is based on these building blocks. Knowing them well is a crucial part of being a fluent Python developer. I often say that ignoring these building blocks in favor of more complex topics is akin to a chemistry student ignoring the elements in favor of “real” chemicals.

I can personally attest to the power of practice, not just as a Python instructor, but also as a student. For several years, I’ve been learning Chinese, in no small part because I travel to China every few months to teach Python courses there. Each lesson that I take, and every exercise that I do, doesn’t seem to advance my fluency very much. But when I return to China after an absence of several months, I find that the practice has indeed helped, and that I’m able to communicate more easily with the locals.

I’m still far from fluent in Chinese, but I’m making progress, and I delight in looking back and seeing how far I’ve come. I hope and expect that Python Workout will do the same for you, advancing your understanding and fluency with each passing day.
