Unlock the Secrets of Linux System Programming and Take Your Coding Skills to the Next Level Do you use Linux, but not really understand it? Have you ever wondered how ls -l' knows everything does? Could you explain to a coworker why ls' and find' can be external commands but cd' and umask' must be built into the shell? The answers to these questions, and more, are in Linux Application Programming by Example, Second Edition. Purposely avoiding Too Much Information (TMI) this book tells you exactly what you need to know--no more and no less--about the fundamental Linux system programming APIs. Following the latest POSIX standard, author Arnold Robbins explains how the basic file, process, IPC and networking APIs work. Wherever possible, he demonstrates the use of the APIs with code drawn from real programs (V7 Unix, BSD Unix, and GNU). When not possible, the author provides small, clearly documented and annotated, standalone example programs of his own. The author focuses on both

As an introduction to Python, this book allows readers to take a slow and steady approach to understanding Python code, explaining concepts, connecting programming with real-life examples, writing Python programs, and completing case studies.While there are many books, websites, and online courses about the topic, we break down Python programming into easily digestible lessons of less than 5 minutes each, following our BiteSize approach. Each lesson begins with a clear and short introduction to the topic. This gives you a strong base to start from and gets you ready for deeper learning. Then, you will see coding demonstrations that show the ideas discussed. These examples are simple and useful, helping you really understand the concepts. You'll then practice tasks at different difficulty levels, so you can test your knowledge and increase your confidence. You'll also play with case studies to solve real-world problems. Tips are included to show how you can incorporate generative AI int

CUDA is now the dominant language used for programming GPUs, one of the most exciting hardware developments of recent decades. With CUDA, you can use a desktop PC for work that would have previously required a large cluster of PCs or access to a HPC facility. As a result, CUDA is increasingly important in scientific and technical computing across the whole STEM community, from medical physics and financial modelling to big data applications and beyond. This unique book on CUDA draws on the author's passion for and long experience of developing and using computers to acquire and analyse scientific data. The result is an innovative text featuring a much richer set of examples than found in any other comparable book on GPU computing. Much attention has been paid to the C++ coding style, which is compact, elegant and efficient. A code base of examples and supporting material is available online, which readers can build on for their own projects.

For fans of Jenny Han and Jane Austen, a rom-com that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt about the unexpected consequences of one teen’s quest to help her friends find love, from the author of A Taste for Love.Junior year is exhausting. Gigi Wong works hard to make herself the perfect candidate for colleges, the perfect friend, the perfect daughter. But it’s hard to stand out when everyone around her appears perfect too. At least her best friend, Kyle, is always there to bring ramen from their favorite restaurant when she needs a break.But when an acquaintance from one of her volunteer programs transfers to her school, Gigi knows what to do to stand out: she’ll create a matchmaking app. She has the know-how, thanks to her coding experience and all those weekends she spent shadowing her great-aunt, a professional matchmaker. Gigi figures she’ll help Etta make friends―and win entry to the tech internship competition that is sure to guarantee her college acceptance, all at once. Win-wi

All social and policy researchers need to synthesize data into a visual representation. Producing good visualizations combines creativity and technique. This book teaches the techniques and basics to produce a variety of visualizations, allowing readers to communicate data and analyses in a creative and effective way. Visuals for tables, time series, maps, text, and networks are carefully explained and organized, showing how to choose the right plot for the type of data being analysed and displayed. Examples are drawn from public policy, public safety, education, political tweets, and public health. The presentation proceeds step by step, starting from the basics, in the programming languages R and Python so that readers learn the coding skills while simultaneously becoming familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of each visualization. No prior knowledge of either Python or R is required. Code for all the visualizations are available from the book's website.

This hands-on tutorial is a broad examination of how a modern computer works. Classroom tested for over a decade, it gives readers a firm understanding of how computers do what they do, covering essentials like data storage, logic gates and transistors, data types, the CPU, assembly, and machine code.Introduction to Computer Organization gives programmers a practical understanding of what happens in a computer when you execute your code. You may never have to write x86-64 assembly language or design hardware yourself, but knowing how the hardware and software works will give you greater control and confidence over your coding decisions. We start with high level fundamental concepts like memory organization, binary logic, and data types and then explore how they are implemented at the assembly language level.The goal isn’t to make you an assembly programmer, but to help you comprehend what happens behind the scenes between running your program and seeing “Hello World” displayed on the s

This book introduces a new approach to embedded development, grounded in modern, industry-standard JavaScript. Using the same language that powers web browsers and Node.js, the Moddable SDK empowers IoT developers to apply many of the same tools and techniques used to build sophisticated websites and mobile apps. The Moddable SDK enables you to unlock the full potential of inexpensive microcontrollers like the ESP32 and ESP8266.Coding for these microcontrollers in C or C++ with the ESP-IDF and Arduino SDKs works for building basic products but doesn't scale to handle the increasingly complex IoT products that customers expect. The Moddable SDK adds the lightweight XS JavaScript engine to those traditional environments, accelerating development with JavaScript while keeping the performance benefits of a native SDK. Building user interfaces and communicating over the network are two areas where JavaScript really shines.IoT Development for ESP32 and ESP8266 with JavaScript shows you how t
