This long-awaited revision contains changes throughout the text. There are new implementations of most of the major programming systems in the book, including the interpreters and compilers, and the authors have incorporated many small changes that reflect their experience teaching the course at MIT since the first edition was published. A new theme has been introduced that emphasizes the central role played by different approaches to dealing with time in computational models: objects with state, concurrent programming, functional programming and lazy evaluation, and nondeterministic programming. There are new example sections on higher-order procedures in graphics and on applications of stream processing in numerical programming, and many new exercises. In addition, all the programs have been reworked to run in any Scheme implementation that adheres to the IEEE standard.

    That was before one pioneering work documented the underground computer revolution that was about to change our world forever. With groundbreaking profiles of Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, MIT's Tech Model Railroad Club, and more, Steven Levy's Hackers brilliantly captured a seminal moment when the risk-takers and explorers were poised to conquer twentieth-century America's last great frontier. And in the Internet age, the hacker ethic-first espoused here-is alive and well.

    It reveals the visions they shared, the sacrifices they made, and the rewards they reaped.

    It is particularly valuable where the document, article, or book to be produced contains a lot of mathematics, and where the user is concerned about typographic quality. TeX software offers both writers and publishers the opportunity to produce technical text of all kinds, in an attractive form, with the speed and efficiency of a computer system.Novice and expert users alike will gain from The TeXbook the level of information they seek. Knuth warns newcomers away from the more difficult areas, while he entices experienced users with new challenges. The novice need not learn much about TeX to prepare a simple manuscript with it. But for the preparation of more complex documents, The TeXbook contains all the detail required.Knuth’s familiar wit, and illustrations specially drawn by Duane Bibby, add a light touch to an unusually readable software manual.The TeXbook is the first in a five-volume series on Computers and Typesetting, all authored by Knuth.

    It discusses the ongoing, international standardization of C++, explores the importance of Clean C code in the common subset of the ISO C and C++ languages, and demonstrates other ways to program in a style that is more compatible with C++.

    From extended integer types and compound literals to Boolean support and variable-length arrays, this book helps you learn to create practical and real-world applications with C programming. It contains review questions and programming exercises.

    Written by the Vice- Chairman of X3J13 (the ANSI committee responsible for the standardization of Common Lisp) and co-developer of the language itself, the new edition contains the entire text of the first edition plus six completely new chapters. They cover: - CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System, with new features to support function overloading and object-oriented programming, plus complete technical specifications • Loops, a powerful control structure for multiple variables • Conditions, a generalization of the error signaling mechanism • Series and generators • Plus other subjects not part of the ANSI standards but of interest to professional programmers. Throughout, you'll find fresh examples, additional clarifications, warnings, and tips - all presented with the author's customary vigor and wit.

    

    It can access ALL of a machines features, and it avoids the restrictions of higher-level languages such as Pascal and BASIC. Programs demanding speed or flexibility, such as graphics routines, word processors, and spreadsheets, are best written in assembly language.

    The World's Only Known Constructively Snotty Computer Science Book: historically, its polemics for TCP/IP and against the international standardsmongers' "OSI" helped the Internet happen; currently, its principles of technoaesthetic criticism are still eminently applicable to the States of most (probably all) technical Arts -- all this and Cover Cartoons, too...but it's not for those who can't deal with real sentences....

    

    The various classes of lambda calculus models are described in a uniform manner. Some didactical improvements have been made to this edition. An example of a simple model is given and then the general theory (of categorical models) is developed. Indications are given of those parts of the book which can be used to form a coherent course.

    It acts as an introduction and a reference to MS-DOS commands and provides a grounding in the basics of the MS-DOS operating system. The intention is to keep the book jargon-free and thorough.

    Its various editions have been in publication for about thirty years. The latest edition is the 30th for 2008, released in September 2007. The current edition is a single volume, and weighs in at 575 pages. Previous editions were either pamphlets (very early editions) or multi-volume sets.The Secret Guide has attracted a cult following because of Russ Walter's distinctive, hilarious writing, its low price (under $20), and the author's extreme devotion to his readers. He refers to himself as "Russy-Poo" (and instructs his readers to do the same) and gives out his phone number in the book, in case any questions come up.The Guide covers everything relating to computers, from their hardware to their software to their history. Many people have learned to program using the Guide.

    

    

    Now anyone can take advantage of the speed and veratility of the 8088 chip inside the IBM PC- even if they don't know assembly language! Packed within this book are scores of easy to use, pretested, debugged, fully annotated assembly programs that get the most from the 8088 and the IBM PC and XT system.
