About the Book

World-class Java performance experts present detailed information on common top-
down (application-centric) tuning and bottom-up (hardware/OS centric) approaches,
with solid coverage of Windows, Linux, and Solaris. They show how to improve
performance by applying state-of-the-art software engineering practices, and how
to avoid common mistakes that can lead to writing poorly performing software.
Throughout, there are dozens of Java performance tips and tricks available nowhere
else.

About the Book

Concepts of Computer Programming Languages introduces students to the fundamental
concepts of computer programming languages and provides them with the tools
necessary to evaluate contemporary and future languages. An in-depth discussion of
programming language structures, such as syntax and lexical and syntactic analysis,
also prepares students to study compiler design.
The Eleventh Edition maintains an up-to-date discussion on the topic with the
removal of outdated languages such as Ada and Fortran. The addition of relevant new
topics and examples such as reflection and exception handling in Python and Ruby add
to the currency of the text.

ISBN: 9788177584226 | © Year: 2006 | Pages: 496

About the Book

The second edition of Programming Languages––Concepts & Constructs retains
the “character” of the original emphasizing concepts and how they work together.
This book has been thoroughly revised and updated to stay current with advances in
programming languages. With an excellent exposition, the core concepts of imperative
programming in languages like C flows smoothly into object-oriented programming in
C++ and Smalltalk. The charm of functional languages is illustrated by the Scheme
dialect of Lisp while logic programming is introduced using Prolog. Novices, who have
been introduced to programming in some language, will learn to create simple programs and utilize the power of each
language, while designers and implementers will be exposed to major programming paradigms.

Features
• Organized into parts with self-contained coverage of • Thorough revision of imperative and functional
major programming paradigms. programming with new chapters on data types.

Introduction to Programming
Using Python, 1/e
Y. Daniel Liang
ISBN: 9789332551848 | © Year: 2017 | Pages: 576

About the Book

Introduction to Programming Using Python is intended for use in the introduction to
programming course.
Daniel Liang is known for his “fundamentals-first” approach to teaching programming
concepts and techniques. “Fundamentals-first” means that students learn fundamental
programming concepts like selection statements, loops, and functions, before moving
into defining classes.
Another aspect of Introduction to Programming Using Python is that in addition to
the typical programming examples that feature games and some math, Liang gives an example or two early in the chapter
that uses a simple graphic to engage the students.

Features
• Fundamentals-first approach introduces basic • The book use Python’s built-in Turtle graphics module

loops, functions, before writing custom classes. • Both Turtle and Tkinter are simple, easy to learn,
• Problem-driven approach teaches programming in a and valuable pedagogical tools for teaching the
problem-driven way that focuses on problem solving fundamentals of programming and object-oriented
rather than syntax. programming.
• Flexible GUI Coverage gives instructors the flexibility
to skip graphics topics, or cover these topics later in
the course.

ISBN: 9789332577435 | © Year: 2016 | Pages: 792

About the Book

Introduction to Programming in Python: An Interdisciplinary Approach emphasizes
interesting and important problems, not toy applications. The authors focus on Python's
most useful and significant features, rather than aiming for exhaustive coverage that
bores novices. All of this book's code has been crafted and tested for compatibility with
both Python 2 and Python 3, making it relevant to every programmer and any course,
now and for many years to come.

Features
• A broad-based, applications-based approach: teaches • Teaches through code tested for compatibility with
Python through examples from science, mathematics, Python 2.x and Python 3.x.

Real-Time Systems: Theory and Practice

Rajib Mall
ISBN: 9788131700693 | © Year: 2006 | Pages:242

About the Book

Although real-time systems are becoming increasingly important they are often so
embedded that we fail to notice them even while interacting with them. An important
characteristic of real-time systems is that their correctness is time- dependent. Examples
of such systems range from safety-critical ones, such as nuclear reactors and automotive
controllers, to entertainment software such as games and graphics animations. The
growing importance of real-time systems has made it a core area for computer science,
electronics and communication, as well as electrical engineering students. This book is
designed to serve as a textbook for both graduate and post-graduate level courses on
real-time systems. It can also serve as a reference for practising engineers.

Features
• Thorough coverage of real-time databases, operating • Numerous worked-out examples and practice
systems and communications. problems.
• Concepts explained through real-life applications.
