SciPy and NumPy

Python is a powerful programming language when considering portability, flexibility, syntax, style, and extendability. The language was written by Guido van Rossum with clean syntax built in. To define a function or initiate a loop, indentation is used insteadofbrackets.Theresultisprofound:aPythonprogrammercanlookatanygiven uncommented Python code and quickly understand its inner workings and…

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…

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…

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…

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 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…

Modeling the Internet and the Web

Since its early ARPANET inception during the Cold War, the Internet has grown by a staggering nine orders of magnitude. Today, the Internet and the World Wide Web pervade our lives, having fundamentally altered the way we seek, exchange, distribute, and process information. The Internet has become a powerful social force, transforming communication, entertainment, commerce, politics, medicine, …

The dRuby Book

Let’s get familiar with dRuby. dRuby stands for “distributed Ruby.” It’s one of the standard libraries that comes with the Ruby core code, and you can use it to write distributed programming apps without the hassle of installing and configuring additional components. In this chapter (because it’s an unwritten rule), we’ll start with “Hello, World” and then create a small reminde…

The Go Programming Language

When learning a new language, there are three things that you need to understand. The first and most important is the abstract model that the language presents. The next is the concrete syntax. Finally, you need to learn your way around the standard libraries and the common idioms of the language. This chapter will look at the abstract model that Go presents to programmers. If you want to dive…

The Joy of Clojure

When this book was conceived, our first instinct was to create a comprehensive comparison between Clojure and its host language, Java. After further reflection, we reached the conclusion that such an approach would be disingenuous at best, and disastrous at worst. Granted, some points of comparison can’t be avoided, but Java is very different from Clojure and to try and distort one to explain…

The Ruby Programming Language

This book is an updated and expanded version of Ruby in a Nutshell (O’Reilly) by Yukihiro Matsumoto, who is better known as Matz. It is loosely modeled after the classic The C Programming Language (Prentice Hall) by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, and aims to document the Ruby language comprehensively but without the formality of a language specification. It is written for experienced pro…

The ThoughtWorks Anthology 2

Technology and Global Industry

In the last decade it has become increasingly clear that the character of the world economy—and the role of the United States in the world economy—is changing. Two characteristics of global economic change are particularly important. First, over the last 35 years there has been substantial relative growth (in pan simply postwar reconstruction) of national economies in Europe and Asia. In th…

The black art of programming

A computer program is a set of statements that is used to create an output, such as a screen display, a printed report, a set of data records, or a calculated set of numbers. Most programs involve statements that are executed in sequence. A program is written using the statements of a programming language. Individual statements perform simple operations such as printing an item of text…

Theories of Programming and Formal Methods

This study is clearly not immediately related to any application. Instead we definitely and only consider the fundamental mathematical structure modeling mechanical computations. As pointed out in [12] and in other scientific disciplines as well, it appears to be very important to develop some mathematical models for our main concept, that is in our case that of computation. In doing so, we i…
