Programming in Two Semesters
This highly accessible textbook teaches programming from first principles. In common with many programming courses, it uses Python as the introductory programming language before going on to use Java as the vehicle for more advanced programming concepts.The first part, which teaches Python, covers fundamental programming concepts, such as data types and control structures and functions. It introduces more complex data types such as lists and dictionaries and also deals with file handling. It introduces object-oriented concepts and ends with a case study bringing together all the topics of the first semester. The second part uses Java to teach advanced concepts and centres around object-oriented programming, teaching key object-oriented concepts such as inheritance and polymorphism. The semester again ends with an advanced case study bringing together all the topics of the second semester.Topics and features:Assumes no prior knowledge, and makes the transition from Python to Java a smooth processFeatures numerous exercises and also an illustrative case study for each language Examines procedural and object-oriented methodologies, as well as design principles Covers such advanced topics as interfaces and lambda expressions, exceptions and Collections Includes a chapter on graphics programming in Python using Tkinter Introduces the latest Java technology for graphical interfaces, JavaFXExplains design concepts using UML notation Offering a gentle introduction to the field and assuming no prerequisite background, Programming in Two Semesters is the ideal companion to undergraduate modules in software development or programming. In addition, it will serve as a strong primer for professionals looking to strengthen their knowledge of programming with these languages.

Hands-On Object-Oriented Programming
Learn how to easily design and implement a software system using object-oriented programming. Through hands-on activities, this book equips you with the real-world practice needed to master OOP skills that can be applied universally across any programming language. This book is dedicated to bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical implementation in software development using OOP. Readers will first understand the importance of OOP in handling software complexities before learning how to model real-world problems through access control, extendible object design, and object relationships. Specifically, the author discusses how to use inheritance, association, and polymorphism concepts for implementing reusable and easy-to-use complex software. More importantly, this book covers design patterns and event-driven programming for learning how to model complex interactions among various objects of the software system to implement various use cases. Unlike existing books on OOP which teach syntax and semantics through standard examples, this book leverages an immersive learning experience through a variety of real-world use cases, applications, games, and system software. While written in C++, the skills can be applied to any OOP language of the reader's preference. The book's last chapters will quickly introduce Python and Solidity languages for learning advanced technologies. By the end, novice and seasoned developers will know how to implement practical and reusable software systems with confidence. What You Will Learn Apply OOP concepts through real-time use cases: games, applications software (online shopping, reservations, etc.), system software (protocols, simulators, etc.), and modeling and implementation using C+Design and implement reusable and extendible software with OOPUnderstand the importance of design patterns and learn how to use them for solving real-time issuesUse event-driven programming for implementing complete interactions of complex application software, system software, and simulatorsImplement OOP using C++ features and discover Python and Solidity constructs for OOP Who This Book Is For Beginners and intermediate software developers with basic programming knowledge to quickly learn OOP concepts with C++.

Quick Functional Programming
Why learn functional programming? Isn’t that some complicated ivory-tower technique used only in obscure languages like Haskell?In fact, functional programming is actually very simple. It’s also very powerful, as Haskell demonstrates by throwing away all the conventional programming tools and using only functional programming features. But it doesn’t have to be done that way.Functional programming is a power tool that you can use in addition to all your usual tools, to whatever extent your current mainstream language supports it. Most languages have at least basic support.In this book we use Python and Java and, as a bonus, Scala. If you prefer another language, there will be minor differences in syntax, but the concepts are the same.Give functional programming a try. You may be surprised how much a single power tool can help you in your day-to-day programming.

Programming Erlang 2ed
A multi-user game, web site, cloud application, or networked database can have thousands of users all interacting at the same time. You need a powerful, industrial-strength tool to handle the really hard problems inherent in parallel, concurrent environments. You need Erlang. In this second edition of the bestselling Programming Erlang, you'll learn how to write parallel programs that scale effortlessly on multicore systems. Using Erlang, you'll be surprised at how easy it becomes to deal with parallel problems, and how much faster and more efficiently your programs run. That's because Erlang uses sets of parallel processes-not a single sequential process, as found in most programming languages. Joe Armstrong, creator of Erlang, introduces this powerful language in small steps, giving you a complete overview of Erlang and how to use it in common scenarios. You'll start with sequential programming, move to parallel programming and handling errors in parallel programs, and learn to work confidently with distributed programming and the standard Erlang/Open Telecom Platform (OTP) frameworks. You need no previous knowledge of functional or parallel programming.The chapters are packed with hands-on, real-world tutorial examples and insider tips and advice, and finish with exercises for both beginning and advanced users. The second edition has been extensively rewritten. New to this edition are seven chapters covering the latest Erlang features: maps, the type system and the Dialyzer, WebSockets, programming idioms, and a new stand-alone execution environment. You'll write programs that dynamically detect and correct errors, and that can be upgraded without stopping the system. There's also coverage of rebar (the de facto Erlang build system), and information on how to share and use Erlang projects on github, illustrated with examples from cowboy and bitcask. Erlang will change your view of the world, and of how you program.

Python for Signal Processing
This book covers the fundamental concepts in signal processing illustrated with Python code and made available via IPython Notebooks, which are live, interactive, browser-based documents that allow one to change parameters, redraw plots, and tinker with the ideas presented in the text. Everything in the text is computable in this format and thereby invites readers to “experiment and learn” as they read. The book focuses on the core, fundamental principles of signal processing. The code corresponding to this book uses the core functionality of the scientific Python toolchain that should remain unchanged into the foreseeable future. For those looking to migrate their signal processing codes to Python, this book illustrates the key signal and plotting modules that can ease this transition. For those already comfortable with the scientific Python toolchain, this book illustrates the fundamental concepts in signal processing and provides a gateway to further signal processing concepts.
