    Abstract: This beginners book introduces non-programmers to the fundamentals of computer coding within a visual, arts-focused context. Tristan Bunn’s remarkably effective teaching approach is designed to help you visualize core programming concepts while you make cool pictures, animations, and simulations using Python Mode for the open-source Processing development environment. Right from the first chapter, you'll produce and manipulate colorful drawings, shapes and patterns as Bunn walks you through a series of easy-to-follow graphical coding projects that grow increasingly complex. You’ll go from drawing with code to animating a bouncing DVD screensaver and practicing data-visualization techniques. Along the way, you’ll encounter creative-yet-practical skill-building challenges that relate to everything from video games, cars, and coffee, to fine art, amoebas, and Pink Floyd. As you grow more fluent in both Python and programming in general, topics shift toward the mastery of algorithmic thinking, as you explore periodic motion, Lissajous curves, and using classes to create objects. You’ll learn about: •Basic coding theories and concepts, like variables, data types, pixel coordinates, control flow and algorithms •Writing code that produces drawings, patterns, animations, data visualizations, user interfaces, and simulations •Using conditional statements, iteration, randomness, lists and dictionaries •Defining functions, reducing repetition, and making your code more modular •How to write classes, and create objects to structure code more efficiently In addition to giving you a good grounding in general programming, the skills and knowledge you’ll gain in this book are your entry point to coding for an ever-expanding horizon of creative technologies.

    Keywords: Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: Computer graphics are at work everywhere today, adding eye-popping details to video games, hyper-realistic CGI to major blockbusters, and life-like imagery to computer-animated films. This beginners book will introduce you to a core slice of this ever-expanding field, 3D rendering, with a focus on two popular algorithmic methods: raytracing and rasterization. Written to be easily understood by high-school students but rigorous enough for professional engineers, you’ll build each of these surprisingly simple algorithms into complete, fully functional renderers as you build your knowledge base. The first half covers raytracing, which simulates rays of light as they bounce off of objects in a scene; the second half breaks down rasterization, the real-time process for converting 3D graphics into a screen-compatible array of 2D pixels. Every chapter gives you something visually new and exciting to add to your works-in-progress, from creating reflections and shadows that make objects look more realistic, to rendering a scene from any directional point of view. You’ll learn how to: •Represent objects in a scene, and use perspective projection to draw them in •Compute the illumination for light sources (point, directional, and ambient) •Render mirror-like reflections on surfaces, and cast shadows for depth •Use clipping algorithms to render a scene from any camera position •Implement flat shading, Gouraud shading, and Phong shading algorithms •""Paint” textures that fake surface details and turn shapes into everyday objects The book uses informal pseudocode throughout the text, so you can write your renderers in any language. In addition, the author provides links to live working versions of his algorithms.

    Abstract: WebAssembly is the revolutionary new web standard that enables high-performance programs and computer-intensive web applications to run at peak performance inside a browser. Different from a programming language like JavaScript, it’s a fast, compact, portable compilation target for a variety of languages, in a binary code format. This book will give you a solid understanding of WebAssembly, how it works under the hood, when to use it, when not to use it, how to write it, and ways to develop and deploy your own WebAssembly apps. Author and expert Rick Battagline eases you through all the technology’s complexities using clear explanations, illustrations, and plenty of examples. He’ll show you how to optimize and compile low-level code, as well as how to debug and evaluate WebAssembly, and represent WebAssembly in its human-readable format, WebAssembly Text (WAT) – skills that will set you apart from other programmers as WebAssembly expands into all modern architectures. Once you grasp the basics, you’ll build a collision-detection program to measure the performance of WebAssembly in Chrome and Firefox. You’ll also work with browser rendering technologies to create graphics and animations for your apps, and you’ll see how WebAssembly interacts with other web languages. You’ll learn how to: •Use Node.js and web browsers as the JavaScript embedding environment for WebAssembly apps •Write web applications that use WebAssembly for optimal performance •Debug WebAssembly code using a variety of tools, including browser debuggers •Format variables, loops, functions, strings, data structures, and conditional logic in WAT •Manipulate memory through WebAssembly, and build a program that spawns graphical objects randomly and detects when the objects collide •Evaluate the output of a WebAssembly compiler (AssemblyScript) This book doesn’t focus on any particular language toolchains, so the skills learned are applicable to whatever you’re working with.

    Pages: 1 online resource (600 pages)
    Edition: 1st edition
    Keywords: Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: This book will teach you how to solve engineering problems with Python. The “hardcore” approach means that you will learn to get the correct results by coding everything from scratch. Forget relying on third-party software – there are no shortcuts on the path to proficiency. Instead, using familiar concepts from linear algebra, geometry and physics, you’ll write your own libraries, draw your own primitives, and build your own applications. Author Angel Sola covers core programming techniques mechanical engineers need to know, with a focus on high-quality code and automated unit testing for error-free implementations. After basic primers on Python and using the command line, you’ll quickly develop a geometry toolbox, filling it with lines and shapes for diagramming problems. As your understanding grows chapter-by-chapter, you’ll create vector graphics and animations for dynamic simulations; you’ll code algorithms that can do complex numerical computations; and you’ll put all of this knowledge together to build a complete structural analysis application that solves a 2D truss problem – similar to the software projects conducted by real-world mechanical engineers. You'll learn: •How to use geometric primitives, like points and polygons, and implement matrices •Best practices for clean code, including unit testing, encapsulation, and expressive names •Processes for drawing images to the screen and creating animations inside Tkinter’s Canvas widget •How to write programs that read from a file, parse the data, and produce vector images •Numerical methods for solving large systems of linear equations, like the Cholesky decomposition algorithm

    Abstract: “Kill it with fire,” the typical first reaction to a legacy system falling into obsolescence, is a knee-jerk approach that often burns through tons of money and time only to result in a less efficient solution. This book offers a far more forgiving modernization framework, laying out smart value-add strategies and proven incremental techniques that work equally well for ancient systems and brand-new ones. Internationally known for restoring some of the world’s oldest, messiest computer networks to operational excellence, software engineering expert Marianne Bellotti distills key lessons and insights from her experience into practical, research-backed guidance on topics from “chaos” testing solutions to building momentum-driven teams and effective communication structures. Using clear explanations and simple exercises, she’ll help you determine when to modernize, how to organize, what migrations will add the most value, and where to focus your maintenance efforts for maximum impact. With witty, engaging prose, Bellotti explains why new doesn’t always mean better, weaving in illuminating case studies and jaw-dropping anecdotes from her work in the field. You’ll learn: •Tips and best practices for assessing architecture and testing assumptions •How to avoid trends and pick the right modernization solutions for your specific needs •How to determine whether your migrations will add value before you invest in them •Critical considerations every organization should weigh before moving data to the cloud •Team-based strategies and motivational tricks for keeping modernization plans on track •Key outcomes and checklists for determining when a project is finished Packed with resources, exercises, and flexible frameworks for organizations of all ages and sizes, Kill It with Fire will give you a vested interest in your technology’s future.

    Abstract: Cyberjutsu presents a practical cybersecurity field guide based on the techniques, tactics, and procedures (TTPs) of the ancient ninja. Author Ben McCarty, a cyber warfare specialist and former NSA developer, analyzes once-secret Japanese scrolls, drawing parallels to modern infosec concepts to provide unique insights on defensive and offensive security. He translates the training methodologies of Japan’s most notorious covert agents—history’s first advanced persistent threat (APT)—into highly effective practices for countering information warfare, espionage, supply-chain attacks, zero-day exploits, and more. Each chapter examines one TTP in detail—like assessing gaps in a target’s defense, striking where the enemy is negligent, and mastering the art of invisibility—and explains what the concept can teach us about the current cybersecurity landscape. McCarty recommends in-depth mitigations and security controls, mapped to the NIST 800-53 standard, and a “Castle Theory Thought Exercise” that helps you apply the ancient lesson to protect your castle (network) from enemy ninja (cyber threat actors). You’ll discover the effectiveness of ancient social engineering strategies and trap-based security controls; see why mapping your network like an adversary gives you the advantage; and apply lessons from old-world tools, like the “ninja ladder,” to prevent attacks. Topics also include: •Threat modeling, threat intelligence, and targeted controls •Countermeasures like network sensors, time-based controls, airgaps, and improved authentication protocols •Profiles of insider threats, and ways to recognize them in employees •Covert communication TTPs and their implications for malware command and control (C2) •Methods for detecting attackers, preventing supply-chain attacks, and defending against zero-day exploits In this book, you’ll see the astonishing power of ninja information-gathering processes—and how adopting them just might be the key to innovating contemporary cybersecurity models.

    Abstract: This, the first volume in Randall Hyde’s Write Great Code series, dives into machine organization without the extra overhead of learning assembly language programming. Written for high-level language programmers, Understanding the Machine fills in the low-level details of machine organization that are often left out of computer science and engineering courses. Learn: •How the machine represents numbers, strings, and high-level data structures, so you’ll know the inherent cost of using them. •How to organize your data, so the machine can access it efficiently. •How the CPU operates, so you can write code that works the way the machine does. •How I/O devices operate, so you can maximize your application’s performance when accessing those devices. •How to best use the memory hierarchy to produce the fastest possible programs. Great code is efficient code. But before you can write truly efficient code, you must understand how computer systems execute programs and how abstractions in programming languages map to the machine’s low-level hardware. After all, compilers don’t write the best machine code; programmers do. This book gives you the foundation upon which all great software is built. NEW IN THIS EDITION, COVERAGE OF: •Programming languages like Swift and Java •Code generation on modern 64-bit CPUs •ARM processors on mobile phones and tablets •Newer peripheral devices •Larger memory systems and large-scale SSDs

    Abstract: How Computers Really Work is a hands-on guide to the computing ecosystem: everything from circuits to memory and clock signals, machine code, programming languages, operating systems, and the internet. But you won’t just read about these concepts, you’ll test your knowledge with exercises, and practice what you learn with 41 optional hands-on projects. Build digital circuits, craft a guessing game, convert decimal numbers to binary, examine virtual memory usage, run your own web server, and more. Explore concepts like how to: •Think like a software engineer as you use data to describe a real world concept •Use Ohm’s and Kirchhoff’s laws to analyze an electrical circuit •Think like a computer as you practice binary addition and execute a program in your mind, step-by-step The book’s projects will have you translate your learning into action, as you: •Learn how to use a multimeter to measure resistance, current, and voltage •Build a half adder to see how logical operations in hardware can be combined to perform useful functions •Write a program in assembly language, then examine the resulting machine code •Learn to use a debugger, disassemble code, and hack a program to change its behavior without changing the source code •Use a port scanner to see which internet ports your computer has open •Run your own server and get a solid crash course on how the web works And since a picture is worth a thousand bytes, chapters are filled with detailed diagrams and illustrations to help clarify technical complexities. Requirements: The projects require a variety of hardware – electronics projects need a breadboard, power supply, and various circuit components; software projects are performed on a Raspberry Pi. See Appendix B for a complete list. Even if you skip the projects, the book’s major concepts are clearly presented in the main text.

    Algorithmic Thinking (2020)
    [Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar] : No Starch Press | Boston, MA : Safari

    Abstract: Algorithmic Thinking will teach you how to solve challenging programming problems and design your own algorithms. Daniel Zingaro, a master teacher, draws his examples from world-class programming competitions like USACO and IOI. You’ll learn how to classify problems, choose data structures, and identify appropriate algorithms. You’ll also learn how your choice of data structure, whether a hash table, heap, or tree, can affect runtime and speed up your algorithms; and how to adopt powerful strategies like recursion, dynamic programming, and binary search to solve challenging problems. Line-by-line breakdowns of the code will teach you how to use algorithms and data structures like: •The breadth-first search algorithm to find the optimal way to play a board game or find the best way to translate a book •Dijkstra’s algorithm to determine how many mice can exit a maze or the number of fastest routes between two locations •The union-find data structure to answer questions about connections in a social network or determine who are friends or enemies •The heap data structure to determine the amount of money given away in a promotion •The hash-table data structure to determine whether snowflakes are unique or identify compound words in a dictionary NOTE: Each problem in this book is available on a programming-judge website. You’ll find the site’s URL and problem ID in the description. What’s better than a free correctness check?

    Abstract: You’ve completed a basic Python programming tutorial or finished Al Sweigart’s best selling Automate the Boring Stuff with Python . What’s the next step toward becoming a capable, confident software developer? Welcome to Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python . More than a mere collection of advanced syntax and masterful tips for writing clean code, you’ll learn how to advance your Python programming skills by using the command line and other professional tools like code formatters, type checkers, linters, and version control. Sweigart takes you through best practices for setting up your development environment, naming variables, and improving readability, then tackles documentation, organization and performance measurement, as well as object-oriented design and the Big-O algorithm analysis commonly used in coding interviews. The skills you learn will boost your ability to program—not just in Python but in any language. You’ll learn: •Coding style, and how to use Python’s Black auto-formatting tool for cleaner code •Common sources of bugs, and how to detect them with static analyzers •How to structure the files in your code projects with the Cookiecutter template tool •Functional programming techniques like lambda and higher-order functions •How to profile the speed of your code with Python’s built-in timeit and cProfile modules •The computer science behind Big-O algorithm analysis •How to make your comments and docstrings informative, and how often to write them •How to create classes in object-oriented programming, and why they’re used to organize code Toward the end of the book you’ll read a detailed source-code breakdown of two classic command-line games, the Tower of Hanoi (a logic puzzle) and Four-in-a-Row (a two-player tile-dropping game), and a breakdown of how their code follows the book’s best practices. You’ll test your skills by implementing the program yourself. Of course, no single book can make you a professional software developer. But Beyond the Basic Stuff with Python will get you further down that path and make you a better programmer in the process as you learn to write readable code that’s easy to debug and perfectly Pythonic.
