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 …

Picturing Programs An introduction to computer programming

Computers don’t naturally understand human languages such as English. Instead, we invent artificial languages to communicate with them. These artificial languages are typically much simpler than any human language, so it’s easier to learn them than for, say, an English speaker to learn Chinese. But it’s still hard work. As with any language, you’ll need to learn the spelling, punctuat…

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. The book concentrates on the parts of the language that are more frequently used to write financial software, including the STL (standard template library), templates, and support for numerical libraries. 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 ASP.Net MVC 3 Framework

With Web Forms, Microsoft attempted to hide both HTTP (with its intrinsic statelessness) and HTML (which at the time was unfamiliar to many developers) by modeling the user interface (UI) as a hierarchy of server-side control objects. Each control kept track of its own state across requests (using the View State facility), rendering itself as HTML when needed and automatically connecting client…

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.

Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform

This book has existed, in one form or another, since the first release of C# and the .NET Platform was published in step with Microsoft’s release of .NET 1.0 Beta 2 (circa the summer of 2001). Since that point, I have been extremely happy to see that this text continues to be very well received by the press. Over the years, it was nominated as a 2002 Jolt Award finalist (I lost, but hey, life…

Pro Dynamic .NET 4.0 Applications

Data-driven, or dynamic, programming is a series of techniques for modifying an application at runtime. You can accomplish this by storing screen definitions, business rules, and source code in a data source and then restoring them at runtime to alter the functionality of an application. The technology to perform data-driven programming encompasses many areas of software development. Language- …

Pro Java 8 Programming

It’s been a while since I last revised this material and even longer than that since the first edition was published. In that time the technologies that Java programmers use have changed quite a bit and there’s no doubt that if I were writing this book for the first time I would do some things differently. For example, I’d place more of an emphasis on technologies related to web developme…

Professional ios Programming

My first experience with a computer was at the age of 15 at a technical high school in the Netherlands where I was introduced to the Sinclair ZX-81. It was a little computer with only 16 KB of memory, but it was amazing and I started programming on it from day one. In 1981 when the hardware and software revolution started, I moved on to an Exidy Sourcer and the Commodore 64, soon followed by my…
