Process improvement work is often mistakenly called Lean; however, when used correctly, the term Lean refers to a specific set of tools and methods almost exclusively designed to rid the workplace of waste and inefficiency. For those of you who have recognized and been frustrated by the inefficiencies tha…

PHP: The Good Parts

This book has been a rather long time in the making. I have been using PHP for many years now, and have grown to love it more and more for its simplistic approach to programming, its flexibility, and its power. Of all the programming languages I have used throughout my over 20-year career, PHP is my favorite, hands down. PHP has grown from a small set of functions to a very large volume of func…

PHP Reference: Beginner to Intermediate PHP5

I taught myself PHP and MySQL and found myself, at times, without internet access and thus without search access to the PHP.net manual ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/ ). Since coding was not my primary job, I needed a refresher on syntax, usage, and most of all, a reminder of how to code PHP without spending an hour debugging a silly mistake. I printed out reference sheets, cards, cheat sheets …

Practical C++ Financial Programming

This is a hands-on book for programmers who want to learn about how C++ is used in the financial industry.

I also describe many of the important problems in financial engineering that are part…

Practical Database Programming with Visual Basic.NET

or years, during my teaching database programming and Visual Basic.NET programming in my college, I found that it was too diffi cult to fi nd a good textbook for this topic, so I had to combine a few different professional books together as references to teach this course. Most of those books are specially designed for programmers or software engi- neers, which cover a lot of programming stra…

Practical RichFaces

We have been involved with JSF and RichFaces for many years now, including teaching JSF and RichFaces courses for many years. From our experience, we have come to realize that many developers are using RichFaces and JSF without understanding the full potential of the technology. Without this understanding, developers can't fully utilize the framework. Of course, after a bit of trial and error,…

Pro Android Python with SL4A

This book is about writing real-world applications for the Android platform primarily using the Python language and a little bit of JavaScript. While there is nothing wrong with Java, it really is overkill when all you need to do is turn on or off a handful of settings on your Android device. The Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A) project was started to meet that specific need. This book will i…

Pro Bash Programming Scripting the GNU/Linux Shell

Although most users think of the shell as an interactive command interpreter, it is really a programming language in which each statement runs a command. Because it must satisfy both the interactive and programming aspects of command execution, it is a strange language, shaped as much by history as by design.

Just as Bjarne Stroustup’s first version of C++ was implemented on top of a C language base, this reader began its life as Eric Roberts’s textbook Programming Abstractions in C (Addison-Wesley, 1998). In 2002-03, Julie Zelenski updated it for use with the C++ pr…
