Computer Networks: A Systems Approach
Suppose you want to build a computer network, one that has the potential to grow to global proportions and to support diverse applications. What available technologies would serve as the underlying building blocks, and what kind of software architecture would you design to integrate these into an effective communication service? Answering this question is the overriding goal of this book.
Programming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach using C++
The learning modules of this textbook were written as standalone modules. Students using a collection of modules as a textbook will usually view it contents by reading the modules sequentially like a traditional text.
Python for Everybody: Exploring Data In Python 3
The goal of this book is to provide an Informatics-oriented introduction to programming. The primary difference between a computer science approach and the Informatics approach taken in this book is a greater focus on using Python to solve data analysis problems common in the world of Informatics.
How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python
How to Think Like a Computer Scientist: Learning with Python is an introduction to programming using Python. The basic syntax and semantics of Python are covered, including functions and objects. Some of the more advanced features are missing, and readers are encouraged to continue on to other books. Every chapter provides a glossary of new technical terms at the end. There is a comprehensive index at the end of the book.
Engineering Computations with Python
Created in Jupyter Notebooks, these modules' target audience is first-year engineering students, but the course would be equally useful to students in any science or technology field.
Introduction to Programming Using Java, 8th Edition
The Seventh Edition of Introduction to Programming Using Java is a free, on-line textbook on introductory programming, which uses Java as the language of instruction. This book is directed mainly towards beginning programmers, although it might also be useful for experienced programmers who want to learn something about Java.
Eloquent JavaScript: A Modern Introduction to Programming
This book contains roughly three parts. The first 11 chapters discuss the JavaScript language itself. The next eight chapters are about web browsers and the way JavaScript is used to program them. Finally, two chapters are devoted to Node.js, another environment to program JavaScript in.
The Missing Link: An Introduction to Web Development and Programming
This text provides the developer with an understanding of the various elements of web development by focusing on the concepts and fundamentals through the examples within, providing a foundation that allows easier transition to other languages and a better understanding of how to approach their work.
