Computer Programming
DescriptionInside, you will find an introduction to JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and SQL. These are computer programming languages. Some of them are more precisely referred to as scripting languages.Starting with JavaScript, I will introduce you to the above-mentioned programming languages. Hopefully, by the end of this book, you will have the answers to the questions of what it is and what you can do with it.JavaScript is a programming language that allows for the implementation of complex items on static web pages. Every time you look at a web page that does something besides display static information, it is a pretty safe assumption to make that JavaScript is involved. It is often referred to as the third layer of the cake.HTML is a relatively simple programming language that, at its core, consists of elements. These elements allow you to distinguish different sections of text as different aspects on your page. Whether it be a paragraph, a heading, a column, or whatever you need it to be-this is accomplished with the use of these elements.This language is also where you get the ability to create hyperlinks. The use of hyperlinks is very important, especially when you want to be able to direct someone to a specific part of your text or page. CSS is a programming language that is used to style and structure the layout of a web page. If you want to change your font, color, and background, you may do so by adding an animation or design a specific outline. This is the language you're going to make use of to accomplish those things.CSS makes use of the box model-most elements are represented as a box with the content, padding, and borders built-up like layers on an onion. You need to understand the box model before you can begin to understand how to create CSS layouts.Meanwhile, SQL is a programming language that is designed to work with sets of facts and how they relate to each other. As you might expect, relational database programs make use of SQL. Like many other computer languages, SQL is, in fact, an international standard. However, SQL is easily read and understood even by beginners.Data sets are described in SQL using SELECT statements. An SQL statement is like a sentence and consists of clauses. Some clauses are required in a SELECT statement.

Micro
The BBC micro: bit is capable of taking on a variety of roles including that of a powerful IoT device. In order to gain full access to its features and to external devices, however, you need to use C which delivers the speed which is crucial when you are writing programs to communicate with the outside world.The new V2 version of the micro: bit is fully covered in Micro: bit IoT in C, Second Edition, which now uses the highly popular VS Code for offline development. It covers how to get started the easy way by providing downloadable templates for both V1 and V2 of the micro: bit.Having started with the traditional "Blinky" program, the equivalent of "Hello World" for hardware, we are ready to discover how to control the micro: bit's I/O lines, exploring the basis of using the GPIO. For speed, however, we need to work directly with the raw hardware and also master memory mapping, pulse width modulation and other more sophisticated bus types. From here we can start connecting sensors using first the I2C bus, then by implementing a custom protocol for a one-wire bus, and eventually adding eight channels of 12-bit A-to-D with the SPI bus, which involves overcoming some subtle difficulties. We then look at serial connections, one of the oldest ways of connecting devices, but still very useful. The micro: bit lacks WiFi connectivity but using a low-cost device we enable a connection to the Internet via its serial port which allows it to become a server. Next we look at the micro: bit's LED display. This may only be 5x5, but it is very versatile, especially when you use pulse width modulation to vary the brightness level, something we demonstrate in a classic game, written of course in C. The book rounds out with a new chapter on the micro: bit's radio and the V2's sound capabilities.Harry Fairhead has worked with microprocessors, and electronics in general, for many years and is an enthusiastic proponent of the IoT. He is the author of Raspberry Pi IoT in C, which has recently been republished in its second edition, updated for Raspberry Pi 4, and of Raspberry Pi IoT In C With Linux Drivers. He has also co-authored Python versions of these books - Raspberry Pi IoT in Python Using GPIO Zero and Raspberry Pi IoT In Python With Linux Drivers. His own language of choice is C and he has also written Fundamental C: Getting Closer To The Machine and Applying C For The IoT With Linux.

The C＋＋ Project
This book is a companion for learning the C++ programming language. It presents some significant concepts applied to a program implementing a multiple balls collision simulator, which will run in real-time in a multi-thread structure. The book explains the program. The goal is to make possible for the reader the improvement of the program or even application to other fields. Nevertheless, this book is neither a complete nor a simplified course. The objective is to be a complementary tool. Examples extending the program include the simplified simulations of a planet and its satellite and the creation of a fictional universe, which the book's second part implements. The elementary simulation of a satellite launching is also partially implemented and is a challenge to the reader, who must complete it by finding the correct parameters. Therefore, this book is also helpful for teaching and studying physics (Newtonian mechanics). The program had minor changes in this second edition, including a simplified computer virus propagation simulation.

Understanding JPA 2.2
Applications are made up of business logic, interaction with other systems, user interfaces etc. and data. Most of the data that our applications manipulate have to be stored in datastores, retrieved, processed and analysed. If this datastore is a relational database and you use an object-oriented programming language such as Java, then you should have a look at JPA. JPA is an Object-Relational Mapping tool that maps Java objects to relational databases and allows query operations. In this fascicle, you will learn Java Persistence API, its annotations for mapping entities, as well as the Java Persistence Query Language and entity life cycle and a few advanced topics such as integrating JPA with other frameworks (Bean Validation, JTA, CDI, Spring).
Understanding Bean Validation 2.0
Validating data is a common task that Java developers have to do and it is spread throughout all layers (from client to database) of an application. This common practice is time-consuming, error prone, and hard to maintain in the long run. Besides, some of these constraints are so frequently used that they could be considered standard (checking for a null value, size, range, etc.). It would be good to be able to centralise these constraints in one place and share them across layers.That's when Bean Validation comes into play.In this fascicle, you will learn Bean Validation and use its different APIs to apply constraints on a bean, validate all sorts of constraints, write your own constraints and a few advanced topics such as integrating Bean Validation with other frameworks (JPA, JAX-RS, CDI, Spring).

Programming The Raspberry Pi Pico In C
The Raspberry Pi Pico is a remarkable microcontroller. It has a power and sophistication that would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. For the sort of jobs it is ideal for, it has plenty of processing power and enough memory to make tasks that would have once required careful planning, relatively easy. Instead of struggling with the machine, you can now focus on getting a good implementation of your algorithms. To enjoy all of its power and sophistication there is no better language than C. It wastes none of the power and it gives you what you need to get at the new features. However, getting started with the Pico with C is no easy feat, which is what motivated this book about creating programs so that testing and debugging is easy.Programming the Raspberry Pi Pico in C uses the highly popular VS Code as its development environment and shows how to use a Raspberry Pi or a desktop PC running Windows as your development machine. The purpose of the book is to reveal what you can do with the Pico's GPIO lines together with widely used sensors, servos and motors and ADCs. After covering the GPIO, outputs and inputs, events and interrupts, it gives you hands-on experience of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), the SPI bus, the I2C bus and the 1-Wire bus. One of the key advantages of the Pico is its PIO (Programmable I/O) and while this is an advanced feature it is included in this book. After finding out how the PIO works, we apply it to writing a PIO program for the DHT22 and the 1-Wire bus. One current drawback of the Pico it is that it doesn't have a network connection. To solve this problem there is a chapter on using the low-cost ESP8266 as a WiFi client and web server. The two devices together make the Pico a true IoT device. Harry Fairhead has a hardware background and, having worked with microprocessors and electronics in general, for many years, he is an enthusiastic proponent of the IoT and embedded computing. He is the author of two books intended for C programmers, Fundamental C: Getting Closer To The Machine and Applying C For the IoT With Linux and four books on the using the Raspberry Pi in an IoT context, two using C and two using Python. He is now working on a Python version of this book for the Pico.

DOS 4.1H boots directly into Language Card memory and sets HIMEM to 0xBE00. All five of its file buffers are fully contained in Language Card memory. DOS 4.1 supports the full 65C02 instruction set and it can now be used in both the Lisa and the Big Mac assemblers. Sourceror and Big Mac both support all SWEET16 opcodes. The ROM image described in this book supports the 65C02, SWEET16, and GARBAGE based on Bongers' algorithm. DOS 4.1 supports most Clock Cards which play an integral role in Volume and File timestamps. Volumes may be titled, numbered, and initialized to boot or to store files and data exclusively. Even track 0x00 is used to store files and data. Files are loaded into memory and saved using a page-accelerated algorithm. DOS 4.1 supports Applesoft CHAIN, File DIFF, File GREP, File LIST, File Undelete, Sector Display, Syntactical HELP (only in DOS 4.1H), and full lowercase command and argument input. DOS 4.1 has an expanded File Manager with additional Opcodes, and the Boot and Volume INIT functions utilize the same BOOTCFG Table. The Volume Catalog may use a minimum of a single sector and the CATALOG output may be terminated by pressing the ESC key at any time. DOS 4.1 uses the B keyword to implement the "File Delete/File Save" strategy for disk space conservation. DOS 4.1 can read DOS 3.3 Volumes, files, and data. DOS 4.1 can easily initialize Volumes with up to 48 tracks having either 16 or 32 sectors per track. All the source code and all the schematics can be requested through www.applecored.net.

Building Mobile Apps at Scale
While there is a lot of appreciation for backend and distributed systems challenges, there tends to be less empathy for why mobile development is hard when done at scale.This book collects challenges engineers face when building iOS and Android apps at scale, and common ways to tackle these. By scale, we mean having numbers of users in the millions and being built by large engineering teams.For mobile engineers, this book is a blueprint for modern app engineering approaches. For non-mobile engineers and managers, it is a resource with which to build empathy and appreciation for the complexity of world-class mobile engineering.The book covers iOS and Android mobile app challenges on these dimensions: Challenges due to the unique nature of mobile applications compared to the web, and to the backend.App complexity challenges. How do you deal with increasingly complicated navigation patterns? What about non-deterministic event combinations? How do you localize across several languages, and how do you scale your automated and manual tests?Challenges due to large engineering teams. The larger the mobile team, the more challenging it becomes to ensure a consistent architecture. If your company builds multiple apps, how do you balance not rewriting everything from scratch while moving at a fast pace, over waiting on "centralized" teams?Cross-platform approaches. The tooling to build mobile apps keeps changing. New languages, frameworks, and approaches that all promise to address the pain points of mobile engineering keep appearing. But which approach should you choose? Flutter, React Native, Cordova? Native apps? Reuse business logic written in Kotlin, C#, C++ or other languages?What engineering approaches do "world-class" mobile engineering teams choose in non-functional aspects like code quality, compliance, privacy, compliance, or with experimentation, performance, or app size?

Beginner’s Guide to Software Defined Networks
Document from the year 2020 in the subject Computer Science - Technical Computer Science, grade: 15, course: COMPUTER NETWORKS, language: English, abstract: SDN need can be explained with the help of real life analogy corresponding to water supply system. Water reservoir has pipes (data cables) attached to it to carry water (data) to the destination. Water regulation is done with the help of numerous valves (routers and switches). Plumber (network admin) is the in charge of addition, up gradation of pipes and valves. As the pipe changes, corresponding valves need to be changed. This is costly and time consuming process, which causes lot of overhead in case of frequent infrastructural updates as the valves need individual-manual intervention. Bulk updation may cause installation errors or are more likely to faulty installations. Considering the above scenario it is desirable to have remotely controlled updation (increased width, new connections, extensions etc) regarding the pipe (data cables) & valves (switches and routers). So if this analogy is applied to real networking scenario, the SDN concept comes in picture. SDN provides programmable switches & routers which can be controlled remotely and will not require any manual intervention.
Learning Java Programming in Clara’s World
This book introduces the key concepts of Java programming through the eyes of a small ladybug called Clara. Clara is a fun and extremely obedient insect, whose journey starts with limited skills.

Optimizing Web Search Results for Image. K-means Clustering Algorithm
Academic Paper from the year 2020 in the subject Computer Science - Technical Computer Science, grade: 9.5, language: English, abstract: This paper deals with a way to optimize the search results for image searches by proposing a K-means clustering algorithm. The proposed framework attempts to optimize image search results by adopting a vectorization method which involves textual features extraction and then applying a K-means clustering algorithm to group similar images into a cluster. Hence, the aim is to develop a method that can handle a query term in a reasonably short time and return the results with higher accuracy. With each passing day, the amount of visual information on the internet, such as videos and images, is growing rapidly at an alarming rate, thereby making it difficult for a user to search for the necessary content. Users need to spend vast amounts of time in shifting through an extensive list of search results until they can find the required relevant information. To resolve this problem and to provide better image retrieval results to a user, a clustering framework is suggested in this paper. Cluster Analysis or Clustering is a concept which defines the discipline of grouping similar objects or data items into clusters. A cluster is said to be a collection of data objects. These formed clusters of similar data items differ in characteristics and features. Hence, Clustering can be defined as a solution for classifying web search results effectively for searching data items. Clustering allows users to identify their required group at a glance by looking at the cluster labels. Hence, it saves time while searching on the internet.
