The first edition of Object Technology: A Manager's Guide is widely viewed as the classic introduction to this powerful computing concept. Object technology offers increased agility, significant time-to-market reduction, and the opportunity to exploit the potential of the World Wide Web by deploying globally distributed...
This book expounds a system of ideas about the nature of mathematics which Michael Resnik has been elaborating for a number of years. In calling mathematics a science he implies that it has a factual subject-matter and that mathematical knowledge is on a par with other scientific knowledge; in calling it a science of patterns he expresses his...
The second edition of Exploring Java, introduces the basics of Java, the object-oriented programming language for networked applications from Sun Microsystems. This book covers the essentials of hot topics like Beans and RMI and shows you how to get up speed writing Java applets and other applications, including networking...
This is the best text on complexity theory I have seen, and could easily become the standard text on the subject...This is the first modern text on the theory of computing. ---William Ward Jr, Ph.D, University of South Alabama
Taking a practical approach, this modern introduction to the theory of computation focuses on the study of...
After 40 years of practice and theory in compiler construction and 30 years of experience and teaching in software engineering we still observe that safetycritical high-level language programs are certified only together with the corresponding machine code. The reason is that certification institutions do not trust any compiler. And they are...
Congratulations. You have been given your own project to run. If you are like most project managers, part of you is elated that your company has entrusted you with an important assignment, while the rest of you is petrified that it will soon discover the magnitude of its error. Whether the project is your first and you are being...
Ideal for instruction in nursing, health information, medical assisting, medical transcription or health unit coordinator programs, this text contains numerous end-of-chapter exercises and case studies to challenge the learner. The most commonly ordered tests are covered, complete with an accurate description of the name and type of test, how...
Robert Sedgewick has thoroughly rewritten and substantially expanded his popular work to provide current and comprehensive coverage of important algorithms and data structures. Many new algorithms are presented, and the explanations of each...
Everything you need to use MATLAB and SIMULINK for interactive modeling.
With today's personal computers, students have the power to create simulations of electric machinery that allow them to study transient and control performance and test conceptual designs. The outcome of these simulations can reveal behaviors that may not have been readily...
The recognition that chemicals in food, whatever their origin, might
present a risk to the consumer has long been recognised. However, early
food regulations at the beginning of the century were primarily aimed at
prevention of adulteration and fraud rather than directed at consumer
safety. It is only in the second half of the century...
This is a very exciting time for the information-processing industry. Companies like Oracle and Sun have led a technological revolution culminating in today's software advances. New languages such as Java, and advanced database servers such as Oracle8, provide a shift in paradigm for application developers. This new paradigm yields...
This valuable guide provides both the academic side--designing databases--and the practical side--coding interfaces--of enterprise applications involving JDBC. Van Haecke goes into much detail on designing database applications, a process he calls identifying the "business logic" of a program. He talks a little bit about three-tier...
