Object-Oriented Programming in C++ begins with the basic principles of the C++ programming language and systematically introduces increasingly advanced topics while illustrating the OOP methodology. While the structure of this book is similar to that of the previous edition, each chapter reflects the latest ANSI C++ standard and the examples have been thoroughly revised to reflect current practices and standards.
Computer programming language Java is not easy to understand. It takes lot of time and practice to understand the complex programming language. But this book takes an interactive and fun approach for better understanding of different fundamentals of Java. The book offers multi-sensory and fun learning experience for new programmers, so they can easily pick up the new language.
Human brain responds and remembers unusual situations, images or incidents. Keeping that in mind, this revised second edition of the book has been presented with lots of humorous images, memorable analogies and mind-bending exercises. The language in which the book is written is also casual for better understanding of the difficult computer programming language.
Although it follows a causal approach, the book refers to some serious computer-related information that encourages readers to learn and think like professional Java programmers. The book focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of the Java development platform, along with certain deep code-levels. From basic programming fundamentals to advanced topics, including threads, distributed programming with RMI and network sockets, the book covers almost all major Java concepts.
To make the learning and remembering tasks easier, the book comes with numerous puzzles, striking visuals, mysterious problems and certain soul-searching interviews to make the computer programming more engaging and playful. For new programmers and those who want to brush up their programming knowledge, this book may be a good companion. With this easy-to-understand book, learning complex computer language shall no more be a difficult task.
This seventh edition is thoroughly updated with outcome based learning approach as per standard Bloom’s Taxonomy. The new additions are important contents like “Graphic programming using C. Self-explanatory interactive simulation videos and case studies are integrated throughout the book using QR codes. Additional write-ups and projects are also available for reference of the user.
When you open a web page in your browser, the browser retrieves the page’s HTML text and parses it, much like the way our parser from Chapter 12 parsed programs. The browser builds up a model of the document’s structure and uses this model to draw the page on the screen.
This representation of the document is one of the toys that a JavaScript program has available in its sandbox. It is a data structure that you can read or modify. It acts as a live data structure: when it’s modified, the page on the screen is updated to reflect the changes.
Like it or not, JavaScript is everywhere these days—from browser to server to mobile—and now you, too, need to learn the language or dive deeper than you have. This concise book guides you into and through JavaScript, written by a veteran programmer who once found himself in the same position.
Speaking JavaScript helps you approach the language with four standalone sections. First, a quick-start guide teaches you just enough of the language to help you be productive right away. More experienced JavaScript programmers will find a complete and easy-to-read reference that covers each language feature in depth. Complete contents include:
With the reinvigoration of neural networks in the 2000s, deep learning has become an extremely active area of research, one that’s paving the way for modern machine learning. In this practical book, author Nikhil Buduma provides examples and clear explanations to guide you through major concepts of this complicated field.
Companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Facebook are actively growing in-house deep-learning teams. For the rest of us, however, deep learning is still a pretty complex and difficult subject to grasp. If you’re familiar with Python, and have a background in calculus, along with a basic understanding of machine learning, this book will get you started.
Extensive additions in this edition include

Google's Android is shaking up the mobile market in a big way. With Android, you can write programs that run on any compatible cell phone or tablet in the world. It's a mobile platform you can't afford not to learn, and this book gets you started. Hello, Android has been updated to Android 2.3.3, with revised code throughout to reflect this updated version. That means that the book is now up-to-date for tablets such as the Kindle Fire. All examples were tested for forwards and backwards compatibility on a variety of devices and versions of Android from 1.5 to 4.0. (Note: the Kindle Fire does not support home screen widgets or wallpaper, so those samples couldn't be tested on the Fire.)

Daniel Liang teaches concepts of problem-solving and object-oriented programming using a fundamentals-first approach. Beginning programmers learn critical problem-solving techniques then move on to grasp the key concepts of object-oriented, GUI programming, advanced GUI and Web programming using Java. Liang approaches Java GUI programming using JavaFX, not only because JavaFX is much simpler for new Java programmers to learn and use but because it has replaced Swing as the new GUI tool for developing cross-platform-rich Internet applications on desktop computers, on hand-held devices, and on the Web. Additionally, for instructors, JavaFXprovides a better teaching tool for demonstrating object-oriented programming.
