Today's software systems rely on the concepts of concurrency, modularity and distribution, both within the design of the operating system and those systems that it supports. The modern approach of this book acknowledges that distributed systems are now commonplace and a reader is more likely to be using one than a centralized...
"Ruby Developer's Guide" discusses the role of Ruby in real-world applications, including the use of databases and XML, the coding of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) by means of different toolkits, communicating with other languages over SOAP/XML-RPC or sockets, and the programming of concurrent and distributed applications. Using...

Concurrent Programs are notoriously difficult to get right. This book provides a systematic and practical approach to designing, analyzing and implementing concurrent programs. Concurrency concepts and techniques are introduced and illustrated using both state models and Java programs. The design models enable concurrent behavior to be...
With its support for dynamic programming, C# 4.0 continues to evolve as a versatile language on its own. But when C# is used with .NET Framework 4, the combination is incredibly powerful. This bestselling tutorial shows you how to build web, desktop, and rich Internet applications using C# 4.0 with .NET's database capabilities,...
Concurrent processes can exhibit extremely complicated behavior, and
neither informal reasoning nor testing is reliable enough to establish their
correctness. In this thesis, we develop a new technique for the verification
of parallel programs. The technique is stated in terms of axioms and inference
rules, and it is used to prove...
“When you begin using multi-threading throughout an application, the importance of clean architecture and design is critical. . . . This places an emphasis on understanding not only the platform’s capabilities but also emerging best practices. Joe does a great job interspersing best practices alongside theory...
