Programming in Java Online Textbook

computer_teacher — Mon, 07 Mar 2011 04:31:46 +0000

Here is another online programming textbook from Princeton, Introduction to Programming in Java. It teaches the classic elements of programming, using an "objects-in-the-middle" approach that emphasizes data abstraction. The author uses specific applications, taken from fields ranging from materials science to genomics to astrophysics to internet commerce, to teach and demonstrate the programming concepts and techniques presented. Also available are hundreds of easily downloadable Java programs and real-world data sets.

Chapter 1: Elements of Programming
introduces variables; assignment statements; built-in types of data; conditionals and loops; arrays; and input/output, including graphics and sound.

Chapter 2: Functions
introduces modular programming. We stress the fundamental idea of dividing a program into components that can be independently debugged, maintained, and reused.

Chapter 3: Object-Oriented Programming
introduces data abstraction. We emphasize the concept of a data type and its implementation using Java's class mechanism.

Chapter 4: Algorithms and Data Structures
introduces classical algorithms for sorting and searching, and fundamental data structures, including stacks, queues, and symbol tables.

To get started.
Here are instructions for installing a Java programming environment on your Mac OS X, Windows, or Linux computer.

Full programming model.
Also provided are I/O libraries for reading and writing text and binary data, drawing graphics, and producing sound.

Computer Science Online Book

computer_teacher — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 00:49:40 +0000

This free online computer science book, Introduction to Computer Science (at Princeton University), is an interdisciplinary approach that teaches all of the classic elements of programming, using an "objects-in-the-middle" approach that emphasizes data abstraction. The book focuses four areas of computer science: programming, machine architecture, theory, and systems. The programming topics and concepts are presented by demonstrating specific applications, taken from fields ranging from materials science to genomics to astrophysics to internet commerce. Also available is the program code. You can use this online book to learn or increase your programming skills. Section 1.1 contains detailed instructions for installing a Java programming environment on your system.

Chapter 1: Elements of Programming

5 Android Programming Books

computer_teacher — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 06:05:15 +0000

Here are 5 Android Programming books to help you learn how to develop and build Android mobile applications.

Android is an open source platform built by Google that includes an operating system, middleware, and applications for the development of devices employing wireless communications. It is really a software platform, rather than just an OS, and will probably be used in the future in a much wider range of devices than just smart phones. In practical terms, Android is an application framework on top of Linux, which facilitates its rapid deployment in many domains. Android is open source and a majority of the source is licensed under Apache2, allowing adopters to add additional proprietary value in the Android source without source distribution requirements. Also check out my previous post on some descriptive Android developer guides and presentations.

2 more C# Programming Books

computer_teacher — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 04:51:03 +0000

Here are two more C# Programming books at google books, with the links to all available chapters. This is the 3rd and final post for C# google books. Here are the first and second posts.

C# Essentials
Concise but thorough, this second edition of "C# Essentials" introduces the Microsoft C# programming language, including the Microsoft .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) and .NET Framework Class Libraries (FCL) that support it. This book's compact format and terse presentation of key concepts serve as a roadmap to the online documentation included with the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK; the many examples provide much-needed context.

This new edition has been updated to cover the final release of the C# language. In addition to overviews of C#, the CLR, and the FCL, this new edition of C# Essentials covers:

- Every C# language element and its syntax,
in reference format, including new keywords
- The major C# datatypes, with code examples
- Common C# programming tasks
- Interoperation with legacy Win32 APIs and COM
components, and the use of C/C++ style pointers
within the managed context of the CLR
- Common development issues

Contents:
Introduction
Programming the NET Framework
Framework Class Library Overview
Essential NETTools
B Regular Expressions

The C# Programming Language
Publisher's description: Written by the language's architect and design team members, The C# Programming Language is the definitive technical reference for C#. Moving beyond the online documentation, the book provides the complete specification of the language along with descriptions, reference materials, and code samples from the C# design team. Topics covered include Lexical Structure, Types, Variables, Conversions, Expressions, Statements, Namespaces, Exceptions, Attributes, and Unsafe Code. The second part of the book provides an introduction to and technical specification of four C# features: Generics, Anonymous Methods, Iterators, and Partial Types. With the recent acceptance of C# as a standard by both the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and ECMA, understanding the C# specification has become critical. The C# Programming Language is the definitive reference for programmers who want to acquire an in-depth knowledge of C#.
