This book is intended for anyone trying to learn the fundamentals of computer programming. The chapters lead the reader through the various steps required for writing a program, introducing the MATLABr? constructs in the process. MATLABr? is used to teach programming because it has a simple programming environment. It has a low initial overhead which allows the novice programmer to begin programming immediately and allows the users to easily debug their programs. This is especially useful for people who have a "mental block" about computers. Although MATLABr? is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables the user to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, and Fortran, the author shows that it can also be used as a programming learning tool for novices. There are a number of exercises at the end of each chapter which should help users become comfortable with the language.

Programming Server-Side Applications for Microsoft Windows 2000 helps intermediate and advanced Windows programmers by covering a range of topics needed to develop reliable applications for Windows 2000.
Readers should be familiar with C++ Windows programming and spend little time introducing basic concepts. Advanced readers will find this refreshing, while beginners should scurry off and bone up by reading the prequel, Jeffrey Richter's Programming Applications for Microsoft Windows. Moreov Read more...
Aiming to prove that writing programs for Windows in the Assembly language is no more difficult than writing the same programs using C/C++, this guide shows how Assembly code is actually more compact and executes faster. The algorithmic knowledge and skills lost in high-level programming provides the justification demonstrated in this guide for using Assembly code. Working applications with detailed comments and descriptions of their operating principles, along with material that can be considered hackish, are included. The tools and techniques of code analysis and modification are covered, making this a useful tool for programmers eager to become better acquainted with hacker methods. Not a guide on Assembly language, this represents a symbiosis between the Assembly language and the Windows operating system.

Volume 2 of Donald Knuth's classic series The Art of Computer Programming covers seminumerical algorithms, with topics ranging from random number generators to floating point operations and other optimized arithmetic algorithms. Truly comprehensive and meticulously written, this book (and series) is that rarest of all creatures--a work of authoritative scholarship in classical computer science, but one that can be read and used profitably by virtually all working programmers.
The book begins with fundamental questions regarding random numbers and how to use algorithms to generate them. Subsequent chapters demonstrate efficient computation of single-precision and double-precision arithmetic calculations and modular arithmetic. The text then presents prime factorization (which can be used in cryptography, for instance) and algorithms for calculating fractions. This volume ends with algorithms for polynomial arithmetic and manipulation of power-series topics, which will benefit those with some knowledge of calculus.
Throughout this beautifully presented edition, Knuth incorporates hundreds of useful exercises for trying out the algorithms. These range from simple problems to larger research project topics. (The book provides answers, where appropriate, at the end of the book.) The result is a text that's suitable for college or graduate-level computer science courses or individual study by programmers.

It has been more than twenty years since desktop publishing reinvented
design, and it’s clear that there is a growing need for designers and
artists to learn programming skills to fill the widening gap between
their ideas and the capability of their purchased software.
This book is an introduction to the concepts of computer programming within the
context of the visual arts. It offers a comprehensive reference and text
for Processing (www.processing.org), an open-source programming language
that can be used by students, artists, designers, architects,
researchers, and anyone who wants to program images, animation, and
interactivity. The ideas in Processing have been tested in classrooms,
workshops, and arts institutions, including UCLA, Carnegie Mellon, New
York University, and Harvard University. Tutorial units make up the bulk
of the book and introduce the syntax and concepts of software (including
variables, functions, and object-oriented programming), cover such
topics as photography and drawing in relation to software, and feature
many short, prototypical example programs with related images and
explanations. More advanced professional projects from such domains as
animation, performance, and typography are discussed in interviews with
their creators. “Extensions� present concise introductions to further
areas of investigation, including computer vision, sound, and
electronics. Appendixes, references to other material, and a glossary
contain additional technical details. Processing can be used by reading
each unit in order, or by following each category from the beginning of
the book to the end. The Processing software and all of the code
presented can be downloaded and run for future exploration. With essays
