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…

SQL Server 2012 T-SQL Recipes

Sometimes all one wants is a good example. That’s our motivation for accepting the baton from Joe Sack and revising his excellent work to cover the very latest edition of Microsoft’s database engine—SQL Server 2012. T-SQL is fundamental to working with SQL Server. Almost everything you do, from querying a table to creating indexes to backing up and recovering, ultimately comes down to T-S…

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…

Success in Programming

“What an amazing job you have,” a developer recently told me during a break at a conference. “You seem so passionate about it. i wish i could be paid to do something i like, too.” Sadly, he was not the first one to tell me something like this, and he won’t be the last. How can great developers reach the next level and do what they like for a living? How come someone like me, an averag…

Sudoku Programming with C

This is a practical book that will tell you everything you need to know to solve and create Sudoku puzzles in C. My intention is not to teach you how to become a software developer but rather how to use computer programs to deal with Sudokus. Therefore, you will not find here theoretical analyses of algorithms, solvability problems, or complexity theory. All the code I present and comment on in…

Swift Game Programming for Absolute Beginners

Swift, the new programming language that replaces Objective C, was announced by Apple on June 2, 2014. Since then, there have been many updates to the language. At the time of writing of this book, we are at version 2. Swift is a very well-structured programming language that takes many features from existing modern languages such as C#, Haskell, and Python, and it introduces a few new feature…

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…

Swift Pocket Reference

Swift is an exciting new language from Apple, first announced at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June 2014. The language started life as the brainchild of Chris Lattner, director of Apple’s Developer Tools Department, and is the next step in the evolution of Apple’s software development ecosystem. Swift brings with it many modern language features, including type safety,…

So You Want to Learn to Program?

This chapter will introduce the BASIC-256 environment using the print and say statements. You will see the difference between commands you send to the computer, strings of text, and numbers that will be used by the program. We will also explore simple mathematics to show off just how talented your computer is. Lastly you will learn what a syntax-error is and how to fix them.

The Economics and Ethics of Private Property

In 1849, at a time when classical liberalism was still the dominant ideological force and “economist” and “socialist” were generally considered antonyms, Gustave de Molinari, a renowned Belgian economist, wrote, If there is one well-established truth in political economy, it is this: That in all cases, of all commodities that serve to provide for the tangible or intangible need of the c…

TCL/TK IN A NUTSHELL

This book is about Tcl, the scripting language developed by John Ousterhout. Tcl stands for tool command language and was originally designed as a simple scripting language interpreter that could be embedded inside applications written in the C language. With the addition of the Tk graphical toolkit and a host of other language extensions supporting such features as graphics, relational databas…

Text Algorithms

One of the simplest and natural types of information representation is by means of written texts. Data to be processed often does not decompose into independent records. This type of data is characterized by the fact that it can be written down as a long sequence of characters. Such linear sequence is called a text. The texts are central in "word processing" systems, which provide facilities fo…

The Art of Concurrency

Bowing to the physics of heat and power, processor clock speeds could not keep doubling every 18 months as they had been doing for the past three decades or more. In order to keep increasing the processing power of the next generation over the current generation, processor manufacturers began producing chips with multiple processor cores. More processors running at a reduced speed generate less…

Balancing The National Interest

The United States in cooperation with its allies has imposed controls since 1949 on exports to the Soviet bloc of commercial goods and information that would be of significant value to Warsaw Pact military systems. Since the late 1970s, there has been significantly increased concern in the United States about Soviet success in acquiring and applying this commercial Western technology, a concern…

The Book of f#

From the beginning, one of the promises of the .NET Framework has been language interoperability; that is, developers targeting the platform could write code in one language and interact with code written in another language through the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI). Early examples often included a library written in C# utilizing a library written in Visual Basic, or vice versa. Ideally,…

The Developer’s Code What Real Programmers Do

The very first time was when I took a programming class during my freshman year of college. It was a mandatory course for the curriculum Ihad decided to enroll in. It wasn’t like what I had seen in so many movies during my child- hood. I didn’t type in a few simple commands, press ENTER, and watch a trash-can robot say “hello.” There wasn’t even a trash-can robot in this class. Inste…
