Object-oriented programming (OOP) is the foundation of modern programming languages, including C++, Java, C#, Visual Basic .NET, Ruby, Objective-C, and Swift. Objects also form the basis for many web technologies such as JavaScript, Python, and PHP.
In Object Thinking, esteemed object technologist David West contends that the mindset makes the programmer—not the tools and techniques. Delving into the history, philosophy, and even politics of object-oriented programming. West reveals how the best programmers rely on analysis and conceptualization—on...
While many think of algorithms as specific to computer science, at its core algorithmic thinking is defined by the use of analytical logic to solve problems. This logic extends far beyond the realm of computer science and into the wide and entertaining world of puzzles. In Algorithmic Puzzles, Anany and Maria Levitin use many classic...
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...
This is not a book about algorithms . Certainly, it is full of algorithms , but that 's
not what this book is about . This book is about possibilities . Its purpose is to
present you not only with the prerequisite mandatory knowledge of the available
problem-solving techniques , but more importantly to expand your ability to
frame...
Applying UML and Patterns is the world's #1 business and college introduction to "thinking in objects"and using that insight in real-world object-oriented analysis and design. Building on two widely acclaimed previous editions, Craig Larman has updated this book to fully reflect the new...
The human mind is evolutionarily designed to take shortcuts in order to survive. We jump to conclusions because our brains want to keep us safe. A majority of our biases work in our favor, such as when we feel a car speeding in our direction is dangerous and we instantly move, or when we...
Providing forward-thinking approaches and ideas for nurses of all categories, this reference has been written primarily in response to increasing concerns regarding the perceived lack of ability in both students and newly qualified nurses to perform clinical skills.
By outlining the elements of essential nursing procedure in a...
Behind every programming language lies a vision of how programs should be built. The vision behind Clojure is of a radically simple language framework holding together a sophisticated collection of programming features. Learning Clojure involves much more than just learning the mechanics of the language. To really get...
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,...
There is a curious symmetry to the way this book presents Acceptance Test-
Driven Development and the way software is developed with ATDD. Just as there
is an art to picking the specific examples of program behavior that will elicit the
correct general behavior for the system, there is an art to picking specific examples
of a...
