Programming for Engineers
To learn to program is to be initiated into an entirely new way of thinking about engineering, mathematics, and the world in general. Computation is integral to all modern engineering disciplines, so the better you are at programming, the better you will be in your chosen field.The author departs radically from the typical presentation by teaching concepts and techniques in a rigorous manner rather than listing how to use libraries and functions. He presents pointers in the very first chapter as part of the development of a computational model that facilitates an ab initio presentation of subjects such as function calls, call-by-reference, arrays, the stack, and the heap. The model also allows students to practice the essential skill of memory manipulation throughout the entire course rather than just at the end. As a result, this textbook goes further than is typical for a one-semester course -- abstract data types and linked lists, for example, are covered in depth. The computational model will also serve students in their adventures with programming beyond the course: instead of falling back on rules, they can think through the model to decide how a new programming concept fits with what they already know.The book is appropriate for undergraduate students of engineering and computer science, and graduate students of other disciplines. It contains many exercises integrated into the main text, and the author has made the source code available online.

Cognitive Models and Intelligent Environments for Learning Programming
At present, there is a general consensus on the nature oflearning programming, but there are different opinions onwhat forms an effective environment for it. It is generallyrecognized that the development of a mental model is aformidable task for the student and that learningprogramming is a complex activity that depends heavily onmetacognitive skills.This book, based on a NATO workshop, presents both purecognitive models and experimental learning environments, anddiscusses what characteristics can make a learning modeleffective, especially in relation to the learningenvironment (natural or computerized). The papers covercognitive models related to different aspects ofprogramming, classes of learners, and types of environment,and are organized in three groups: theoretical and empiricalstudies on understanding programming, environments forlearning programming, and learning programming in schoolenvironments.Comprehension, design, construction, testing, debugging, andverification are recognized as interdependent skills, whichrequire complicated analysis and may develop independently,and indifferent orders, in novices. This book shows thatthere is unlikely to be asingle path from novice to expertand that the structure of the final product (the program)may not constrain the process by which it comes into beingas much as some would advocate.

Introduction to Assembly Language Programming
This updated textbook introduces readers to assembly and its evolving role in computer programming and design. The author concentrates the revised edition on protected-mode Pentium programming, MIPS assembly language programming, and use of the NASM and SPIM assemblers for a Linux orientation. The focus is on providing students with a firm grasp of the main features of assembly programming, and how it can be used to improve a computer's performance. All of the main features are covered in depth, and the book is equally viable for DOS or Linux, MIPS (RISC) or CISC (Pentium). The book is based on a successful course given by the author and includes numerous hands-on exercises.

Answering Queries Using Views, Second Edition
The topic of using views to answer queries has been popular for a few decades now, as it cuts across domains such as query optimization, information integration, data warehousing, website design and, recently, database-as-a-service and data placement in cloud systems.This book assembles foundational work on answering queries using views in a self-contained manner, with an effort to choose material that constitutes the backbone of the research. It presents efficient algorithms and covers the following problems: query containment; rewriting queries using views in various logical languages; equivalent rewritings and maximally contained rewritings; and computing certain answers in the data-integration and data-exchange settings. Query languages that are considered are fragments of SQL, in particular select-project-join queries, also called conjunctive queries (with or without arithmetic comparisons or negation), and aggregate SQL queries. This second edition includes two new chapters that refer to tree-like data and respective query languages. Chapter 8 presents the data model for XML documents and the XPath query language, and Chapter 9 provides a theoretical presentation of tree-like data model and query language where the tuples of a relation share a tree-structured schema for that relation and the query language is a dialect of SQL with evaluation techniques appropriately modified to fit the richer schema.
