RESTful Web Services Cookbook

HTTP is an application-level protocol that defines operations for transferring representations between clients and servers. In this protocol, methods such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE are operations on resources. This protocol eliminates the need for you to invent application-specific operations such as createOrder, getStatus, updateStatus, etc. How much you can benefit from the HTTP infrastru…

Ruby Best Practices

This book is designed to be read by chapter, but the chapters are not in any particular order. The book is split into two parts, with eight chapters forming its core and three appendixes included as supplementary material. Despite the fact that you can read these topics in any order that you’d like, it is recommended that you read the entire book. Lots of the topics play off of each other, an…

Ruby on Rails

In July 2004 David Heinemeier Hansson released Ruby on Rails, a Web framework for the Ruby pro- gramming language.

Favoring sensible conventions over verbose confi guration fi les, Rails (as it is often called for shor…

Ruby Wizardry

This book would not have been possible without the tireless efforts of dozens—possibly even dozens of dozens!—of people. First, my wife, Laura, who not only tolerated my all-night writing sessions and endless requests for feedback on story ideas, but also at various times pinch hit as literary agent, proofreader, sanity checker, and stop-reading-the-Internet- and-get-back-to-work!-er.

Safe C++

Astute readers such as yourself may be wondering whether the title of this book, Safe C++, presumes that the C++ programming language is somehow unsafe. Good catch! That is indeed the presumption.

SAS Programming and Data Visualization Techniques

When using the SG procedures—PROC SGPLOT, PROC SGPANEL, PROC SGSCATTER, and PROC SGRENDER—the ODS GRAPHICS statement is optional. However, doing so can change a number of important features of the output image (such as the size and file format); and with new SAS versions, ODS Graphics supports new image formats. In particular, this chapter examines the EMF image-file format in more detail, …

Scala Functional Programming Patterns

Before we start learning Scala, let's first understand what functional programming (FP) is. You may have used a spreadsheet while working. In a spreadsheet, there is a bunch of equations and we enter values in the given cells for these equations. We get the answers through these equations. When you enter the same values again, you get the same answer and there are no fallouts. At the core of FP…

Scala in Depth

Scala was born from the mind of Martin Odersky, a man who had helped introduce generarics into the Java programming language.

SciPy and NumPy

Software Engineering for Students

Software engineering is about the creation of large pieces of software that consist of thousands of lines of code and involve many person months of human effort. One of the attractions of software engineering is that there is no one single best method for doing it, but instead a whole variety of different approaches. Consequently the software engineer needs a knowledge of many different techniq…

An Introduction to Economic Reasoning

Why, indeed? A good short answer is that you can’t get away from it. Almost everything you do involves economics. Why do people have to earn a living? Why do some people—heavyweight boxers, rock stars, and movie producers, for example—earn vastly more than bus drivers or policemen? What determines the price of a Big Mac, or, for that matter, a Mack truck? Whenever you have to deal with mo…

Fundamentals of Microsoft® .NET Programming

Programming languages do one very simple thing: they allow you to write programs that tell the computer what to do. You can tell a computer to read a value from the keyboard, add two numbers, save a result in a file on the hard disk, or draw a smiley face on the screen. No matter what programming language you use, the underlying commands that the computer can execute are exactly the same. Wheth…

Qualitative Research from Start to Finish

As its main theme, the book presents qualitative research from a practical perspective. Such a view reveals insights into how qualitative research is done, at the ground level. The approach should be especially useful if in fact you are actually wanting to conduct a qualitative study—whether it is to be self-standing, part of a larger study, or an academic or training assignment for an underg…

Swift OS X Programming for Absolute Beginners

Every program’s user interface is crucial to letting users control a program. It doesn’t matter how powerful your program may be if the user interface frustrates users and discourages them from using the program. Since every user interface needs to respond to changes the user might make to the size of a window, stack views let you group related items together and apply constraints on that e…
