Databases are the workhorses of the information age. Like Atlas, they go largely unnoticed
in supporting the digital world we’ve come to inhabit. It’s easy to forget that our
digital interactions, from commenting and tweeting to searching and sorting, are in
essence interactions with a database. Because of this fundamental...
Improvements in instrument design and computing power and the increased
availability of fluorescent agents have led to an increased usage of flow cytometry
in both the research and clinical settings. Flow Cytometry: Principles and
Applications provides a comprehensive introduction to data interpretation, quality
control...
The most important thing we have to tell you is the same as in the first edition: You will
get as much out of this book as you put into it. If you read this book cover to cover, you will learn
something, but not nearly as much as you would if you take some time trying to work through the
problems before you read the answers.

Our goal in writing this book was to combine a strong emphasis on problem solving
and software design with the study of data structures. To this end, we discuss applications
of each data structure to motivate its study. After providing the specification
(a header file) and the implementation of an abstract data type, we cover case...
Thank you for reading jQuery for Designers. This book is intended for designers who have
a basic understanding of HTML and CSS, but want to advance their skill set by learning
some basic JavaScript. Even if you've never attempted to write JavaScript before, this book
will step you through the process of setting up some basic...
Let me get one thing out of the way right from the get-go: I think you’re pretty darn smart for buying a For Dummies book. That says to me that you have the confidence and intelligence to know what you don’t know. The For Dummies franchise is built around the core notion that all of us feel insecure about certain topics when...
T^his book is designed for a two-semester sequence in computer science,
beginning with what is typically known as Data Structures and continuing
with advanced data structures and algorithm analysis. It is appropriate for the
courses from both the two-course and three-course sequences in "B.l...
In The Art and Science of Java, Stanford professor and well-known leader in Computer Science Education Eric Roberts emphasizes the reader-friendly exposition that led to the success of The Art and Science of C. By following the recommendations of the Association of Computing Machinery’s Java Task Force, this first edition...
This book is primarily an introduction to the design of algorithms for problem solving.
Its prominent feature is to use a functional language as an implementation language.
Because of the high level of abstraction provided, functional programs tend to be shorter,
clearer and faster to develop than their imperative counterparts. This...
Data mining and knowledge discovery can today be considered as stable fields with
numerous efficient methods and studies that have been proposed to extract knowledge
from data. Nevertheless, the famous golden nugget is still challenging. Actually, the
context evolved since the first definition of the KDD process and knowledge has now...
The phenomenal growth of the Internet has resulted in the availability of
huge amounts of online information, a situation that is overwhelming to
the end-user. To overcome this problem personalization technologies have
been extensively employed across several domains to provide assistance in
filtering, sorting, classifying and sharing...
