It is not often that we can welcome the advent of a new theory of programming. Twelve years ago, E.W. Dijkstra published his Discipline of Programming, which is still a definitive source-book on the development of sequential algorithms. And now Chandy and Misra have shown how Dijkstra's methods, and other more recent developments, can be...

No matter what kind of ninja you are—a cooking ninja, a corporate lawyer ninja, or
an actual ninja ninja—virtuosity lies in first mastering the basic tools of the trade.
Once conquered, it’s then up to the full-fledged ninja to apply that knowledge in
creative and inventive ways.
"...delightful...accessible to anyone who enjoys or enjoyed high school mathematics. Mathematics teachers from middle school through college will find this book fun to read and useful in the classroom. The authors consider more properties, relationships, and applications of the Fibonacci numbers than most other sources do...I enjoyed reading...
Regardless of the branch of science or engineering, theoreticians have always been enamored with the notion of expressing their results in the form of closed-form expressions. Quite often, the elegance of the closed-form solution is overshadowed by the complexity of its form and the difficulty in evaluating it numerically. In such instances, one...
Immunochemical techniques have been in use for many years with early examples of bacterial strain typing dating back to the 1940s. The basis for the science is the exquisite elegance of the mammalian immune system with its ability to recognize foreign proteins and to manufacture antibody m- ecules that strongly bind to the substances that...
Computing is transforming our society in ways that are as profound as the changes wrought
by physics and chemistry in the previous two centuries. Indeed, there is hardly an aspect of
our lives that hasn't already been influenced, or even revolutionized, by digital technology.
Given the importance of computing to modern society,...
Client-side web app development has always been the poor cousin to server-side coding. This started
because browsers and the devices they run on have been less capable than enterprise-class servers. To
provide any kind of serious web app functionality, the server had to do all of the heavy lifting for the
browsers, which was pretty...
Functional programming is perhaps the next big wave in application development. As experienced developers know, functional programming makes its mark by allowing application builders to develop solutions to complicated programming situations cleanly and efficiently. A rich history of functional languages, including Erlang and OCaml, leads the...
