Java for Students, 6th edition

Java for Students, 6th edition by Douglas Bell
Pe son Acad emic | 2010 | ISBN: 027373122X | 560 pages | PDF | 4 MB

This book is for novices If you have never done any programming before - if you are a complete novice - this book is for you. This book assumes no prior knowledge of programming. It starts from scratch. It is written in a simple, direct style for maximum clarity. It is aimed at first level students at universities and colleges, but it is also suitable for novices studying alone. The approach of this book We explain how to use objects early in this book. Our approach is to start with the ideas of variables, assignment and methods, then introduce the use of objects created from library classes.

Next we explain how to use control structures for selection and looping. Then comes the treatment of how to write your own classes. We wanted to make sure that the fun element of programming was paramount, so we use graphics right from the start. We think graphics is fun, interesting and clearly demonstrates all the important principles of programming. But we haven't ignored programs that input and output text - they are also included. The programs we present use many of the features of a graphical user interfaces (GUIs), such as buttons, scroll bars and text boxes. But we also explain how to write console programs in Java. We introduce new ideas carefully one-at-a-time, rather than all at once. So, for example, there is a single chapter on writing methods. We introduce simple ideas early and more sophisticated ideas later on.

Nanostructures - Fabrication and Analysis

Nanostructures - Fabrication and Analysis
304 pages | Sep 22 2007 |ISBN:3540375775 | PDF | 5.5 Mb

The main theme of this book is the exploration the underlying physical laws that permit the fabrication of nanometer-scale structures. As researchers attempt to fabricate nanometer-scale structures which do not exist per se, they must still employ the natural laws to fabricate them through processes such as self-assembly. So it turns out that our techniques for fabrication of nanometer-scale structures are not artificial but actually rely on the natural laws. We even find that nanometer-scale structures, e.g. fullerenes, are fabricated in nature beneath the surface of the Earth

Schaum's Outline of Programming with C By: Byron S. Gottfried

Schaum's Outline of Programming with C
By: Byron S. Gottfried

The broad, yet in-depth coverage of C programming language, within the context of today's C programming style, makes this book as useful for practicing professionals as it is for beginning programmers. This study guide solves many sample problems using other programming languages so readers can compare several popular languages. It also includes clear explanations of most of the features in the current ANSI standard. The emphasis throughout is on designing clear, legible, modular and efficient programs.

A Teaching Reference, And A Great Book
C is not a large language, there's not a lot to remember a far as conditionals, types, etc... but there is much to learn. This book gives only the facts and not dogma or methodologies, and the examples are to the point as they should be. This book really should be hardbound and sitting next to your copy of The C Programming language by DR and BK. This manila tome is truly one of the hidden gems you can get for 15 bucks. Use it until the pages fall apart, by then you will have assimulated it's worthwhile knowledge.

You really have to enjoy this book for it's straightforwardness. If you like the "Dummies" series, this book will progress a bit too fast for you, for it is rather complete in it's description of the language features. But if you read and digest technical matters in one or two (or three) gulps, you'll benefit from this book.

Beginning Visual Basic 2010

Beginning Visual Basic 2010

This book is designed to teach you how to write useful programs in Visual Basic 2010 as quickly and easily as possible.

There are two kinds of beginners for whom this book is ideal:

You're a beginner to programming and you've chosen Visual Basic 2010 as the place to start. That's a great choice! Visual Basic 2010 is not only easy to learn, it's also fun to use and very powerful.

You can program in another language but you're a beginner to .NET programming. Again, you've made a great choice! Whether you've come from Fortran or Visual Basic 6, you'll find that this book quickly gets you up to speed on what you need to know to get the most from Visual Basic 2010.

Visual Basic 2010 offers a great deal of functionality in both tools and language. No one book could ever cover Visual Basic 2010 in its entirety—you would need a library of books. What this book aims to do is to get you started as quickly and easily as possible. It shows you the roadmap, so to speak, of what there is and where to go. Once we've taught you the basics of creating working applications (creating the windows and controls, how your code should handle unexpected events, what object-oriented programming is, how to use it in your applications, and so on) we’ll show you some of the areas you might want to try your hand at next:

Chapters 1 through 9 provide an introduction to Visual Studio 2010 and Windows programming. These chapters will help you install the Visual Studio 2010 IDE you'll use to create Visual Basic 2010 applications and learn your way around the interface. You'll be introduced to the .NET Framework and the CLR (Common Language Runtime). You'll learn to use variables, data types, comments, methods, and control software flow with the If statement and loops. You'll work with data in arrays, enumerations, constants, structures, ArrayLists, Collections, and tables. Chapter 6 provides an introduction to XAML and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) programming. XAML and WPF are the most recent addition to how VB programmers create user interfaces for their applications. You'll also work with events, create toolbars, buttons, forms, display dialog boxes, and create menus.

Chapter 10 provides an introduction to application debugging and error handling.

Chapters 11 through 13 provide an introduction to object-oriented programming (OOP) and building objects. You'll use classes, learn about reusability, work with constructors and inheritance, and see .NET Framework classes and namespaces. You’ll learn to work with OOP memory management, class libraries, you'll register assemblies, and see how to use third party class libraries.

Chapter 14 provides an introduction to creating Windows Forms user controls. While WPF user interfaces are newer, Windows forms are still in widespread use. You'll create and test controls and work with their properties.

Chapters 15 and 16 provide an introduction to programming with databases and covers Access, SQL Server, and ADO.NET. The chapters walk you through the SQL SELECT statement, Access queries, data access components, and data binding.

Chapters 17 and 18 provide an introduction to Dynamic Data Web Sites and ASP.NET and show you how to write applications for the Web. You'll work with the most current ASP.NET 4 web techniques in Visual Studio 2010.

Chapter 19 provides a brief introduction to XML, a powerful tool for integrating your applications with others—regardless of the language they were written in.

Chapter 20 introduces you to deploying applications using ClickOnce technology.

Dive Into Python 3

Dive Into Python 3

Python now comes in two flavors–Python 3 and Python 2. The philosophy of programming in Python 3 diverges from Python 2 to the point that print statements written in three don’t even run properly in two. Unfortunately, so many of the books written using Python over the last few years are still using version 2.6 – which is backwards compatible with all previous versions. If you are buying this book because you are taking a class in which the teacher is using Python rather than teaching it -bioinformatics or visualization for example – this may cause you trouble. If you need to learn 2.6 or an earlier version of Python 2, please buy the previous edition.

If you are learning Python for the first time and it’s up to you as to what flavor of Python to learn, then I suggest you start with Python 3. It does fix some longtime problems with the Python language. In that case, this edition of “Dive Into Python” is what you want.

I tend to learn languages more readily if I write a simple program first then add to its complexity by having more complex aspects of the language revealed to me, which is basically the approach of “Dive Into Python”. What worked best for me when I learned Python 2 was to read the free online guide “Dive Into Python” which is incomplete but top-down, then switch to “Learning Python”, which is detailed but more academic and more of a bottom-up approach. For example, while this book is about 500 pages, the new “Learning Python” book by Mark Lutz is 1200 pages long.

The author of this book has continued his tradition of placing his book online free of charge if you wish to look through it. I have read this updated version in order to update to Python 3. However, the author realizes that if you like his book you’ll want a copy for yourself to carry about and in which to scribble notes. Sometimes you can make more money by being generous.

In summary, I highly recommend this book as a way to get started, but then you’ll probably want to proceed to “Learning Python” for advanced topics and as a reference.

Game Theory: A Critical Introduction

Game Theory: A Critical Introduction

An introduction to game theory for those who approach the field with some skepticism. The book gives you all the important essential elements of non-cooperative and evolutionary game theory but with a much deeper emphasis on understanding its essential methodological and philosophical underpinnings yet without too much formalism. The authors do a superb job of introducing the topics via a tour of important moral, political, and philosophical ideas and debates mentioning Marx, Smith, Hobbes, Habermas, Hume, Locke and others. The book takes several detours to offer useful expositions of terms and debates such as methodological individualism, common knowledge, equilibrium, learning, morality, norms, etc. I’d recommend this book for two types of people: (1) those who plan to read just one book about game theory (because you don’t think it’s your cup of tea); and (2) those who plan on learning game theory rigorously (so that you can get a picture of the forest before getting lost in the trees).

This is not just one of my favorite books amongst the several books that I have read on game theory and mechanism design, but also one of the most thumbed book in my entire book collection.

Information Modeling and Relational Databases: From Conceptual Analysis to Logical Design

Information Modeling and Relational Databases: From Conceptual Analysis to Logical Design

Dr. Terry Halpin makes a compelling case for designing databases using a method called Object Role Modeling (ORM), and teaches the reader how to use the method.

Review: A properly designed database is critical to the success of business applications. Developers love good database designs because they are much easier to code against, and they make it much easier to accommodate the business requirements of the user, which is after all the purpose of the application. Everyone recognizes the need for good data design, but few people know how fill that need. A good database design requires a good data model, where does one learn how to create a good data model? If you are looking for one book that will really make a difference the next time you design a database, look no further than Information Modeling and Relational Databases by Dr. Terry Halpin.

Halpin’s writing style is clear and interesting, and the numerous examples he uses make the concepts easier to digest. Besides examples within the text, each subsection of the book has a complete set of exercises. Comparing your answers with the supplied answers is a great way to make sure you’ve absorbed the material. This book is very comprehensive; it starts with simple concepts, and ends with discussions of relational algebra, UML and ER modeling, in addition to Halpin’s preferred method, Object Role Modeling (ORM).

Halpin’s presentation and explanation of ORM sets this book apart from other data modeling books. As Halpin explains it, the focus in ORM is on business facts, not abstract data structures. As a professional database designer, one of the most common (and often valid) criticisms I encounter is that data modelers often seem too far removed from the business or too “theoretical”.

Genuinely good theories should have practical benefits, which is certainly the case with ORM. Object Role Modeling has a very solid theoretical foundation (indeed it is grounded in logic and philosophy), but the application of ORM is very practical. Throughout the book, one is struck by how often Halpin emphasizes the importance of getting real examples from the users. Of course, many books will tell you how important it is to get requirements from the users, but they don’t outline a simple, usable method for actually doing it.

Halpin outlines such a method in the “Conceptual Schema Design Procedure” (CSDP). The CSDP is a step-by-step guide to using ORM for producing a first class data model based on business requirements. The CSDP walks one through the entire process, from familiarization with the business to the final quality checks on the model. ORM and the CSDP provide a simple way to organize, manipulate and validate the business knowledge that you glean from the users.

Halpin calls ORM a conceptual modeling method. So what does an ORM conceptual model look like? At its core an ORM conceptual model is a set of simple assertions about the data for a particular business and how those data relate. Examples are “Employee drives Car” and “Car is made by Manufacturer” etc. Such assertions are known as sentence types. Each of these sentence types alone deals with only a small part of the business data, but taken as a collection, the sentence types form a complete picture of the data that must be stored and manipulated in the business environment.

Every one of these sentence types is populated (i.e. turned from a general statement into specific examples) with sample data. The sample data can either be supplied directly by the users, or created by the users and database designer as part of the design sessions. Once the sentence types are populated, you apply constraints that regulate the allowable populations.

ORM’s constraint language is very expressive. Using ORM, you can directly model such constraints as “No person can review a book which s/he has written”, “No employee can have insurance unless s/he is full time”, and “An ambassador can be assigned to a country only if s/he is fluent in one of the languages spoken in that country”. Other modeling methods have trouble with these kinds of constraints, but ORM takes them in stride. Expressing these constraints in the data model makes it easier to enforce the rules in the resulting application.

There is an accompanying graphical representation for ORM models, but the entire model can be expressed in terms of (indeed originated as) simple sentences with real sample data and rules. Halpin correctly argues that users can validate these simple sentences much more easily than they can validate graphical representations of data structures (e.g. tables and keys).

Once you have the completed conceptual model, it is quite easy to create a relational (or object-relational) schema on which to base your application. Halpin provides a simple algorithm for automatically generating a relational schema from an ORM conceptual model. The generated schema is automatically normalized as a result of the mapping process. Because of this automatic normalization feature, Halpin’s discussion of normalization, while complete, is not as lengthy as the discussions found in some other books.

I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the design of database applications. If you are not interested in design, let me put it another way: If you have ever written (or directed someone to write) a CREATE TABLE statement, you need this book! People who have never done data modeling will be well served by learning this method first, and accomplished modelers can learn a technique that will greatly improve their communication with their users, and yield higher quality results.

Java EE 6 with GlassFish 3 Application Server

Java EE 6 with GlassFish 3 Application Server

I had reviewed the previous edition of Heffelfinger’s book and noted how it served as both an introduction to Glassfish as well as a summary of the components of Java EE 5 and their associated APIs. For me this was great, as I was looking just as much for a Glassfish text as I was for a reference about Java EE 5. This updated edition does not disappoint in covering the new features of Java EE 6 and how they are implemented in Glassfish 3. In particular, the new features associated with version 3.0 of the Servlet API are covered very well, especially the new Java annotations that make a separate web.xml file for configuring web applications completely optional and allow for programmatic configuration of servlets. The material on Facelets has been appropriately merged into the chapter on JSF. Also, the JAX-WS functionality for SOAP-based web services is now supplemented with a chapter on JAX-RS for REST-based web services (using the Jersey reference implementation that is part of Glassfish). David’s explanations of newer ways of doing things are always clear and thorough without being pedantic and evangelistic. Although naturally there is a lot of redundancy with the previous edition, there are certainly enough changes between Java EE 5 and Java EE 6 to warrant a new edition of the book.

This book strives to cover much – if you are new to Java EE 6 – this may be a useful introductory text that can provide a broad overview of the core technologies – and in particular – a great companion to learning how to use GlassFish 3.
As the following chapter list illustrates, this book attempts to aggressively cover a broad spectrum of Java EE technologies:
Chapter 1: Getting Started with GlassFish
Covers the various processes for deploying Java EE applications, and basic GlassFish administration tasks.

Chapter 2: Servlet Development and Deployment
Covers how to develop, configure, package, and deploy servlets, using servlet context to persist information between requests – also covers the major new features of Servlet 3.0

Chapter 3: JavaServer Pages
Chapter 4: JSP Standard Tag Library
Chapter 5: Database Connectivity
Covers Java Database Connectivity (JDBC), Java Persistence API (JPA), as well as Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL)
Chapter 6: JavaServer Faces
Also covers integrating JSF and the Java Persistence API (JPA)

Chapter 7: Java Messaging Services
Chapter 8: Security
Covers he GlassFish default realms, file realm, and the certificate realm. Creation of additional realms is covered via the realm classes included with GlassFish.

Chapter 9: Enterprise JavaBeans
Chapter 10: Contexts and Dependency Injection
Covers how JSF pages can access CDI named beans (as JSF managed beans)

Chapter 11: Web Services and JAX-WS

Covers sending attachments to a web service, exposing EJB’s methods as web services, and how to secure web services from unauthorized clients.

Chapter 12: RESTful Web Services and Jersey and JAX-RS
Covers leveraging Java API for XML Binding (JAXB) to simplify integrating data between Java and XML.
Appendix A: Sending E-mails from Java EE Applications
Appendix B: IDE Integration

At 489 pages, this book is necessarily more of a survey of Java EE 6 development topics – with insight into the corresponding configuration and deployment aspects for the GlassFish 3 Application Server. It is a handy reference for both the beginner and advanced user of GlassFish application server.

System Dynamics (4th Edition)

System Dynamics (4th Edition)

This book is very helpful for those who are doing system dynamics course. I spent more than 4 hours in my university library (KFUPM), comparing this book to other system dynamics books and I found the following result. This book contains the most solved examples than other system dynamics books I have seen. Each chapter of this book contains lots of solved problems that came in my quizzes, major, and final exams.

Unlike other system dynamics books I have seen, this book does not discuss Mason loop rule method which is easier to use instead of Block reduction rule method mentioned in this book. I, also, think that this book does not explain very well how to plot Bode Diagrams by hands.

Like other system dynamics books I have seen, this book does not provide the students with the solutions of the questions given at the end of each chapter.

Regardless of its few minuses, this book is still an excellent one and I strongly recommend it.

To overcome its minuses, buy this book as well as ” Modern Control System” which is written by Richard C. Dorf & Robert H. Bishop. Modern Control System is also a wonderful book and a very interesting one. It is better than System Dynamics book in that the concepts are explained deeply. Mason loop rule, Block reduction rule, and plotting Bode Diagrams by hands are very well explained in this book. It is easy to understand and very illustrated. Compared to System Dynamics book, this book has 7 excellent appendices plus a fantastic index, which can also be used as a glossary. Additionally, and above all, the solved exampled plus the questions given at the end of each chapter deal with the modern systems, equipments, devices, and with the recent technology available today.

HTML & XHTML in 24 Hours 6th Edition by Dick Oliver and Michael Morrison

HTML & XHTML in 24 Hours 6th Edition by Dick Oliver and Michael Morrison

Scripting is a polite word for computer programming, and that’s obviously an enormous topic you’re not going to learn much about in a one-hour lesson. Still, there are some awfully handy things you can do in a snap with scripting—and things you can’t do any other way. So with a spirit of bold optimism, this hour aims to help you teach yourself just enough Web page scripting to make your pages stand out from the “non-de-script” crowd. Specifically, you’ll learn in this hour how to make the images (or multimedia objects) on your Web pages change in response to mouse movements or mouse clicks, as well as how to jump into the advertising business by adding animated banner ads to your Web pages that cycle between different ad images. Using the JavaScript language, you can do these tasks in a way that is compatible with all major Web browsers.

SQL The Complete Reference by James R.Groff & Paul N.Weinberg

SQL The Complete Reference by James R.Groff & Paul N.Weinberg

The SQL language and relational database systems based on it are one of the most important foundation technologies in the computer industry today. Over the last decade, the popularity of SQL has exploded, and it stands today as the standard computer database language. Literally hundreds of database products now support SQL, running on computer systems from mainframes to personal computers and even handheld devices. An official international SQL standard has been adopted and expanded twice.Virtually every major enterprise software product relies on SQL for its data management, and SQL is at the core of the database products from Microsoft and Oracle, two of the largest software companies in the world. From its obscure beginnings as an IBM research project, SQL has leaped to prominence as both an important computer technology and a powerful market force.

Microsystem Design

Microsystem Design

The goal of this book is to bring together into one accessible text the fundamentals of the many disciplines needed by today's engineer working in the field of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS).

The subject matter is wide-ranging: microfabrication, mechanics, heat flow, electronics, noise, and dynamics of systems, with and without feedback. Because it is very difficult to enunciate principles of `good design' in the abstract, the book is organized around a set of Case Studies that are based on real products, or, where appropriately well-documented products could not be found, on thoroughly published prototype work.

The Case Studies were selected to sample a multidimensional space: different manufacturing and fabrication methods, different device applications, and different physical effects used for transduction. The Case Study subjects are: the design and packaging of a piezoresistive pressure sensor, a capacitively-sensed accelerometer, a quartz piezoelectrically-driven and sensed rate gyroscope, two electrostatically-actuated optical projection displays, two microsystems for the amplification of DNA, and a catalytic sensor for combustible gases.

This book is used for a graduate course in `Design and Fabrication of Microelectromechanical Devices (MEMS)' at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It is appropriate for textbook use by senior/graduate courses in MEMS, and will be a useful reference for the active MEMS professional.

Each chapter is supplemented with homework problems and suggested related reading. In addition, the book is supported by a web site that will include additional homework exercises, suggested design problems and related teaching materials, and software used in the textbook examples and homework problems.
Reviews
The book is very well written and discussed both aspects of MEMS - fabrication and design.
Fabrication part is well written and can be clearly understood. I was really impressed with the design part of the book - lumped systems, etc.
Good book for grad students.

Reviews
A good senior in physics or electrical engineering would be able to use this as either a textbook or a self-study book as an introduction to MEMS. Could you go off and build a new device after reading this book? Probably not, but you could go off and work with a group of more experienced individuals and built a device. This would get you up to speed.
The text's coverage is somewhat uneven, in places it seems overly detailed, and in others too sparse. However, one of my colleagues (and another reviewer) identified completely different over- and under-coverage sections, so I'm going to consider it to be personal taste as much as anything else.
In short, it's a good, but not perfect text. It gets five stars though for being the best there is at the moment.

Reviews
This book is a good graduate level MEMS book, but do not think that you will be able to design a MEMS chip after just reading. I bought this one as a part of MEMS Design course at Northeastern University. MEMS students should be familiar with pSpice circuit simulation and Matlab in order to even start thinking of designing MEMS. Microfabrication, the way it is explained here, is very brief, and not very useful.

Reviews
In 23 chapters, Senturia brings together a dizzying array of fields of engineering necessary to design micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and examples of MEMS products. For instance, he covers Euler beam theory, the Navier-Stokes equation, micromachining, feedback circuits, and electronic noise, and then anchors these topics with a gyroscope and a DNA amplifier, among other devices.
Senturia's approach to some chapters strikes me as a little idiosyncratic, but he does convey the principles quite well. His love for the material shines through in a way that many authors cannot manage.
Unlike books on single topics, this text cannot be used as a definitive guide to anything. Because Sentuira only has only 30 pages or so for each of the very broad topics that he covers, he doesn't cover any of them in much depth. However, the reader does get a sense of the issues that each physical domain presents. For those who need to know more, Senturia provides a short list of further reading in each chapter. I think of this book as a comprehensive starting point that can help me determine what further investigation I need.
Aesthetically, the text is somewhat lacking. The small pages are cramped compared to those of larger-format texts, and the figures are subpar.

Reviews
This book is definitely a must-have for anyone interested in MEMS design. It's one of the classic references on microsystems that everyone should have read at least once.
The sections on mathematical modeling are especially good, and the set of detailed examples at the end are clear and illustrative.
To name some drawbacks, the chapter on fabrication is maybe a bit out of date, and more solved practical exercises are missing.
