Programming from the Ground Up is an introduction to programming using assembly language on the Linux platform for x86 machines. It is a great book for novices who are just learning to program as well as for intermediates who have never learned or mastered assembly language programming. It covers many topics skipped by other similar books, including memory management, debugging, interfacing with C, dynamic libraries, and even a bit on GUI programming. Welcome to ProgrammingI love programming. I enjoy the challenge to not only make a working program,but to do so with style. Programming is like

This book evolved from material developed over several years by Anand Raja-raman and Jeff Ullman for a one-quarter course at Stanford. The courseCS345A, titled “Web Mining,” was designed as an advanced graduate course,although it has become accessible and interesting to advanced undergraduates.What the Book Is AboutAt the highest level of description, this book is about data mining. However,it focuses on data mining of very large amounts of data, that is, data so largeit does not fit in main memory. Because of the emphasis on size, many of ourexamples are about the Web or data deri

Intended for juniors, seniors, and first-year graduate students, Max Hailperin’s Operating Systems and Middleware: Supporting Controlled Interaction takes a modern approach to the traditional Operating Systems course. By using this innovative text, students will obtain an understanding of how contemporary operating systems and middleware work, and why they work that way. They will also gain practical skills including the ability to reason about and program concurrent computations, understand hardware/software interactions, use empirical measurement to guide design, and analyze sy

Python for Software Design is a concise introduction to software design using the Python programming language. Intended for people with no programming experience, this book starts with the most basic concepts and gradually adds new material. Some of the ideas students find most challenging, like recursion and object-oriented programming, are divided into a sequence of smaller steps and introduced over the course of several chapters. The focus is on the programming process, with special emphasis on debugging. The book includes a wide range of exercises, from short examples to substantial projec

Modern embedded systems come with contradictory design constraints. On one hand, these systems often target mass production and battery-based devices, and therefore should be cheap and power efficient. On the other hand, they still need to show high (sometimes real-time) performance, and often support multiple applications and standards which requires high programmability. This wide spectrum of design requirements leads to complex heterogeneous System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures -- consisting of several types of processors from fully programmable microprocessors to configurable processing core
