Oracle Core: Essential Internals for DBAs and Developers

Apress, 2011

When I wrote Practical Oracle 8i, there was a three-week lag between publication and the first e-mail asking me when I was going to produce a 9i version of the book—thanks to Larry Ellison’s timing of the

launch of 9i. That question has been repeated many times (with changes in version number) over the last 12...

Introduction to Video and Image Processing: Building Real Systems and Applications

Springer, 2012

One of the first times I ever encountered video and image processing was in a semester project at my fourth year of studying. The aim of the project was to design a system that automatically located the center and size of mushrooms in an image. Given this information a robot should pick the mushrooms. I was intrigued by the...

Tap, Move, Shake: Turning Your Game Ideas into iPhone & iPad Apps

O'Reilly, 2011

With the first Apple ][ it was very important for me to have a manual that would lead others to success and learning right from the get-go, even if the user had no relevant experience. That’s how we learn. We start entering code others wrote to see how it works and then over time we learn variations.

One of my...

Inside Cyber Warfare: Mapping the Cyber Underworld

O'Reilly, 2011

I was recently invited to participate in a cyber security dinner discussion by a few members of a well-known Washington, DC, think tank. The idea was that we could enjoy a fine wine and a delicious meal while allowing our hosts to pick our brains about this “cyber warfare stuff.” It seems that the new...

Computer Science: The Hardware, Software and Heart of It

Springer, 2011

Computer Science: The Hardware, Software and Heart of It focuses on the deeper aspects of the two recognized subdivisions of Computer Science, Software and Hardware. These subdivisions are shown to be closely interrelated as a result of the stored-program concept. Computer Science: The Hardware, Software and Heart of It includes certain...

Object-Oriented Software Engineering

McGraw-Hill, 2007

The wheel has turned full circle.

In 1988, I wrote a textbook entitled Software Engineering. Virtually the only mention of the object-oriented paradigm in that book was one section that described object-oriented design.

By 1994, the object-oriented paradigm was starting to gain acceptance in the software industry,...

Haptic Human-Computer Interaction

Springer, 2001

Haptic devices allow users to feel their interfaces and interactions. This has the potential to radically change the way we use computers. Haptic interaction is interaction related to the sense of touch. This could be based on force-feedback or tactile devices. We can take advantage of our powerful sense of touch as an alternative...

Introduction to Automata Theory, Languages and Computation (Addison-Wesley series in computer science)

Addison Wesley, 1979

Ten years ago the authors undertook to produce a book covering the known material on formal languages, automata theory, and computational complexity. In retrospect, only a few significant results were overlooked in the 237 pages. In writing a new book on the subject, we find the field has expanded in so many new directions that a...

Algorithmic Randomness and Complexity (Theory and Applications of Computability)

Springer, 2010

Though we did not know it at the time, this book’s genesis began with the arrival of Cris Calude in New Zealand. Cris has always had an intense interest in algorithmic information theory. The event that led to much of the recent research presented here was the articulation by Cris of a seemingly innocuous question. This question...

Linguistic Structure Prediction (Synthesis Lectures on Human Language Technologies)

Morgan and Claypool Publishers, 2011

A major part of natural language processing now depends on the use of text data to build linguistic analyzers. We consider statistical, computational approaches to modeling linguistic structure. We seek to unify across many approaches and many kinds of linguistic structures. Assuming a basic understanding of natural language processing and/or...

Transactions on Aspect-Oriented Software Development VIII

Springer, 2011

The history of software development paradigms suggests that a new paradigm often has its genesis in programming languages and then moves up to design and analysis (e.g., structured programming preceded structured design and analysis, and objectoriented programming predated object-oriented design and modeling). This same pattern can...

jQuery Mobile

O'Reilly, 2011

Mobile applications come in two basic flavors: native applications, which are compiled programs that run natively on the device, and mobile web applications, which run inside a web browser on the device.

Native applications get almost all of the press these days, especially given the financial success of the iTunes App Store...
