Tamil Computing
This book aims to outline current Tamil Computing technologies available around us in the present context to all participants like students, academicians, researchers and others who are interested in this field. Most of the books available in the market deal with Natural Language Processing, specifically English Language Processing. Therefore, the author hopes this book will be of utmost use to the undergraduate, postgraduate and researchers.This book provides an overall picture of Tamil Computing, covering different aspects. Specifically, starting with the basics of Tamil, Tamil Computing, Coding standards, fonts, keyboards, issues related to it, morphology, phonology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics of Tamil, Tools and resources and applications of Tamil Computing in detail.The purpose of this book is also to give an insight into Tamil Handwritten character recognition and Speech processing in detail. Automatic Speech Recognition in one of the critical issues in any language. Recognizing handwritten characters using a machine is necessary in today's modern world. A computer system should be intelligent enough to receive and interpret the handwritten input. These two aspects are explained in detail.This book elaborates on the existing corporate packages like MS-Office and its usage in Tamil, Database Processing and open Tamil. The book also explains input-outputting methods in detail with simple python programs. The use of the MS Windows Operating System is widespread worldwide in different languages. This book describes the practices of customization of MS Windows software for Tamil. Usage of the MS Windows Operating System is famous worldwide in other languages. This book has also added details concerning Indic Libraries and Large Language Models.

Accelerated Linux Disassembly, Reconstruction and Reversing
The book contains the full transcript of Software Diagnostics Services training. Learn disassembly, execution history reconstruction, and binary reversing techniques for better software diagnostics, troubleshooting, debugging, memory forensics, vulnerability, and malware analysis on x64 (x86_64) and A64 (ARM64, AArch64) Linux platforms. The course uses a unique and innovative pattern language approach to speed up the learning curve. The training consists of practical step-by-step, hands-on exercises using GDB and Linux core memory dumps. Covered more than 25 ADDR patterns originally introduced for the x64 Windows platform, and many concepts are illustrated with Memory Cell Diagrams. The prerequisites for this training are a working knowledge of C and C++ programming languages. Operating system internals and assembly language concepts are explained when necessary. The primary audience for this training is software technical support and escalation engineers who analyze memory dumps from complex software environments and need to go deeper in their analysis of abnormal software structure and behavior. The course is also useful for software engineers, quality assurance, and software maintenance engineers who debug software running on diverse cloud and endpoint computer environments, SRE and DevSecOps, security and vulnerability researchers, and malware and memory forensics analysts who have never used GDB for analysis of computer memory. The book also features ADDR pattern descriptions summarized after each exercise. The second edition includes a review of relevant assembly language fundamentals and relevant differences between GCC and Clang.
The CMake Tutorial
Shortcut Your Path to Building C++ Code like a Pro Programmers know that horrible feeling. You're trying to achieve something that should be simple, and simply cannot figure out how to do it. Hours turn into days, and then finally you find the solution. And yes, that solution was simple. Big sigh of relief! That was me with CMake. Time and time again. CMake is a powerful build tool for C/C++, but can be an absolute pain to use. Scouring the internet for hours each time you need to modify your CMakelists.txt file is hard work. Even worse, you often end up learning the "wrong" (old) way of doing things. There are plenty of old and downright bad CMake tutorials and examples out there... It'll Save You Days (and possibly Months) I've taken everything I learnt, and distilled it down to the essentials. The "Learn Modern CMake by Example" book/course will save you days (and possibly months) of time and frustration, by teaching you the correct (modern) ways to perform the most common build tasks. It's the book/course that I wish I had when I was learning how to use CMake. Deliberately Short & Focused on Results The CMake Tutorial is deliberately short, and focused sharply on making CMake do what you need it to. It doesn't cover every nook and cranny (of CMake), nor does it bog you down with endless theory and backstory. Your time is valuable, so it's designed to get you up and running quickly. No drowning you with details on every single CMake feature (that's what the official documentation is for). It's got only the bits you're most likely to need, which have been organized for fast learning. Learn Without Breaking the Bank A CMake course could set you back $1350 USD. Yes, it's a valuable skill. The CMake Tutorial won't cost you anywhere near as much. Not even half! I know you won't be making the big bucks at the start of your career, and I also know what it's like to be scratching out a living. So, The CMake Tutorial has been priced so it's affordable to those who are getting started. What You'll Learn in The CMake Tutorial - CMakelists.txt files & how CMake works - Compiling multiple source files into one program - Using third-party libraries - Using non-CMake third-party libraries - Using pre-compiled third-party libraries - Choosing the C++ standard version, and other settings - Setting per-compiler flags - Creating static and dynamic libraries - Compiling debug and release versions - Tackling larger projects (multi-directory)
