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.

Dennoch ist die Sprache keineswegs nur fur triviale Aufgaben geeignet: speziell im Bereich der graphischen Datenverarbeitung spielt Processing seine Starken aus. Dieses Buch richtet sich in erster Linie an den Anfanger, den es an die Bewaltigung komplexerer Aufgaben heranfuhrt, wobei Konzepte der imperativen und der objektorientierten Programmierung vorgestellt werden. Auch theoretische Hintergrunde kommen dabei nicht zu kurz. Aus dem Inhalt: Datentypen - Variablen - Arrays - Flusssteuerung - Methoden - Objektorientiertes Programmieren - Textausgabe - 2D-Graphik - 3D-Graphik - Dateizugriff - PDF - QuickTime(TM) - Arduino(R) Mikrocontroller - Index Lektoren, Lehrer, Studenten und Schuler kontaktieren bitte den Autor *vor* Erwerb wegen eines mengenabhangigen Rabatts von 25-40%. matthias.wolf{at}wot.at

Declarative Programming, Sasbachwalden 1991
Declarative programming languages are based on sound mathematical foundations which means that they offer many advantages for software development. These advantages include their powerful descriptive capabilities, the availability of program analysis techniques and the potential for parallel execution. This volume contains the proceedings of a seminar and workshop organised by the Esprit Basic Research Action Phoenix in collaboration with the Esprit Basic Research Action Integration. Both these groups have been closely involved in investigating the foundations of declarative programming and the integration of various language paradigms, as well as the developing aspects of related technology. The main aim of the seminar and workshop was to provide a forum for the results of this work, together with contributions from other researchers in the same field. These papers cover a variety of important technical areas such as foundations and languages, program transformation and analysis, integrated approaches, implementation techniques, abstract machines and programming methodology. The resulting volume provides an in-depth picture of current research into declarative programming. It will be of special interest to researchers in programming languages and methodology, students of artificial intelligence and anyone involved in industrial research and development.

Foundations of Logic Programming
In the two and a half years since the frrst edition of this book was published, the field of logic programming has grown rapidly. Consequently, it seemed advisable to try to expand the subject matter covered in the first edition. The new material in the second edition has a strong database flavour, which reflects my own research interests over the last three years. However, despite the fact that the second edition has about 70% more material than the first edition, many worthwhile topic!! are still missing. I can only plead that the field is now too big to expect one author to cover everything. In the second edition, I discuss a larger class of programs than that discussed in the first edition. Related to this, I have also taken the opportunity to try to improve some of the earlier terminology. Firstly, I introduce "program statements", which are formulas of the form A+-W, where the head A is an atom and the body W is an arbitrary formula. A "program" is a finite set of program statements. There are various restrictions of this class. "Normal" programs are ones where the body of each program statement is a conjunction of literals. (The terminology "general", used in the first edition, is obviously now inappropriate).

Programming Languages
Programming Languages: An Active Learning Approach introduces students to three programming paradigms: object-oriented/imperative languages using C++ and Ruby, functional languages using Standard ML, and logic programming using Prolog. This interactive textbook is intended to be used in and outside of class. Each chapter follows a pattern of presenting a topic followed by a practice exercise or exercises that encourage students to try what they have just read. This textbook is best-suited for students with a 2-3 course introduction to imperative programming.Key Features: (1) Accessible structure guides the student through various programming languages. (2) Seamlessly integrated practice exercises. (3) Classroom-tested. (4) Online support materials.Advance praise: “The Programming Languages book market is overflowing with books, but none like this. In many ways, it is precisely the book I have been searching for to use in my own programming languages course. One of the main challenges I perpetually face is how to teach students to program in functional and logical languages, but also how to teach them about compilers. This book melds the two approaches very well.” -- David Musicant, Carleton College

Thinking About Programs
This book describes how to think about computer programs, and how to use mathematics as part of that thinking. Many books and online tutorials teach the basics of coding: the syntax of the language, and how to translate an algorithm into code. But how do you come up with that algorithm? And how can you be confident that the algorithm is correct?The first part of the book considers small programs that use a loop, and how to demonstrate their correctness using loop invariants. It also covers some algorithms and algorithmic techniques that every programmer should know. The second half of the book considers slightly larger programs. It teaches the basics of modularisation, splitting up a program into manageable chunks. It teaches about abstract datatypes, values within a program that can be treated as mathematical values: how to specify their behaviours formally; and how to treat them as abstract mathematical objects when programming. It also teaches how to use data structures to represent abstract datatypes, and what it means for such a representation to be correct. And it presents some abstract datatypes and data structures that every programmer should know.The book is aimed at those who want to obtain a better understanding of programs they work on, and so become better programmers. The target audience ranges from those who are just starting out, to professional programmers. The book aims to be pragmatic: the philosophy is to include enough formality to be convincing and to guide the programmer towards correct code, without getting bogged down in the mathematics.

Specification and Transformation of Programs
"Specification and transformation of programs" is short for a methodology of software development where, from a formal specification of a problem to be solved, programs correctly solving that problem are constructed by stepwise application of formal, semantics-preserving transformation rules. The approach considers programming as a formal activity. Consequently, it requires some mathematical maturity and, above all, the will to try something new. A somewhat experienced programmer or a third- or fourth-year student in computer science should be able to master most of this material - at least, this is the level I have aimed at. This book is primarily intended as a general introductory textbook on transformational methodology. As with any methodology, reading and understanding is necessary but not sufficient. Therefore, most of the chapters contain a set of exercises for practising as homework. Solutions to these exercises exist and can, in principle, be obtained at nominal cost from the author upon request on appropriate letterhead. In addition, the book also can be seen as a comprehensive account of the particular transformational methodology developed within the Munich CIP project.

Hamlet: So rings umstrickt mit Bubereien.jing. Eh ich noch den Prolog dazu gehalten. Mein Kopj das Spiel schon an. Hamlet (V. Akt. 2. Szene) Die Programmierung nebenlaufiger, verteilter und echtzeitabhangiger Systeme erlangt zunehmende Bedeutung nieht nur in der Informatik, sondern vor allem auch in zahlreichen Anwendungsbereiehen. Urspriinglich muBte man sich mit ihr nur beim Betriebssystembau und etwas spater auch in der ProzeBdatenverarbei- tung beschaftigen. Heute ist sie aufgrund neuartiger Rechnerarchitekturen und der Verwendung von Rechnernetzen in der Telekommunikation, in der Produk- tionstechnik und in der Btiroautomation flir viele andere Gebiete wiehtig gewor- den. Es liegt deshalb nahe, ihre grundlegenden Konzepte, Methoden und Tech- niken im Zusammenhang darzustellen. Das vorliegende Buch entstand aus Unterlagen zu Vorlesungen und Kursen, die wir getrennt und gemeinsam an den Technischen Universitaten Berlin und Mtinchen gehalten haben. Genau wie diese Lehrveranstaltungen sowohl fUr ktinftige Informatiker als auch flir ktinftige Ingenieure gedacht waren, richtet sich auch dieses Buch an beide Zielgruppen. Inhalt, Aufbau und Darstellungs- weise dieses Buches setzen daher nur Programmiererfahrung, aber keine spe- ziellen Kenntnisse theoretischer Methoden der Informatik voraus. Wer heute ein nebenlaufiges, verteiltes oder gar echtzeitabhangiges System programmieren will, sieht sich typischerweise in einer zwiespaltigen Situation.

Automatic Quantum Computer Programming
Once realized, the potential of large-scale quantum computers promises to radically transform computer science. Despite large-scale international efforts, however, essential questions about the potential of quantum algorithms are still unanswered. Automatic Quantum Computer Programming is an introduction both to quantum computing for non-physicists and to genetic programming for non-computer-scientists. The book explores several ways in which genetic programming can support automatic quantum computer programming and presents detailed descriptions of specific techniques, along with several examples of their human-competitive performance on specific problems.
