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…

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…

The Internationalization of U.S. Manufacturing: Causes and Consequences

Internationalization is an increasingly pervasive force in U.S. manufacturing, creating new sources of competition and new standards for competitiveness. The growing importance of imports and exports in domestic manufacturing and the significant rise in foreign investment in the United States in recent years are the most obvious evidence of internationalization. Less obvious, but more important…

Thinking in LINQ

This book won’t teach you the basics of LINQ. It will teach you how to use it appropriately. Having a jackhammer is great only if you know how to use it properly; otherwise, you are not much better off than someone with a hammer. LINQ is powerful. Powerful beyond measure. I hope you will see some of that power by following the examples in the book. Here is a brief walk-through of the chapter…

Building New Competition Law

There is no doubt that the enactment of a competition law and the creation of a specialised agency to enforce it are key conditions for the development of a favourable economic environment in any country. Mexico started this process in the early 1990s, with the approval of the Federal Law of Economic Competition (FLEC1), and the creation of the Federal Competition Commission (CFC2 or Commi…
