Java provides the engineer and scientist with an efficient and easy-to-use tool for problem solving in today's web-based environment. This text draws on a wide range of engineering and scientific problems to teach Java by example. From the start, solutions are presented via a special graphics package so that the reader can appreciate the physical significance of the underlying mathematics. Covers all of the Java language, its standard libraries and utilities. In terms of programming, it covers object-orientation, software design, structured programming, graphical user interfacing, data representation, animation and networking.

C# ('C Sharp') is an object-oriented, network-enabled programming language, developed expressly for Microsoft's .Net platform. C# provides the features that are the most important to programmers: object-orientation, graphics, GUI components, internet-based client/server networking and distributed computing C# Concisely is an introductory text which teaches object-oriented programming using the C# language. The reader is involved in object-orientation from the beginning, while developing skills in the use of control structures and data structures. The book covers nearly all of the language and its important namespaces, including collections and networking, and works through polymorphism and extensibility thoroughly. While targeted at first year students, C# Concisely is equally applicable for those wishing to convert from other languages, and will be an invaluable resource for students at all levels.

If you want to speed up the development of your .Net applications, you're ready for C# design patterns - elegant, accepted and proven ways to tackle common programming problems. This practical guide offers you a clear introduction to the classic object-oriented design patterns, and explains how to use the latest features of C# 3.0 to code them.C# Design Patterns draws on new C# 3.0 language and .Net 3.5 framework features to implement the 23 foundational patterns known to working developers. You get plenty of case studies that reveal how each pattern is used in practice, and an insightful comparison of patterns and where they would be best used or combined. This well-organized and illustrated book includes: An explanation of design patterns and why they're used, with tables and guidelines to help you choose one pattern over another Illustrated coverage of each classic Creational, Structural, and Behavioral design pattern, including its representation in Uml and the roles of its various players C# 3.0 features introduced by example and summarized in sidebars for easy reference Examples of each pattern at work in a real .Net 3.5 program available for download from O'Reilly and the author's companion web site Quizzes and exercises to test your understanding of the material. With C# 3.0 Design Patterns, you learn to make code correct, extensible and efficient to save time up front and eliminate problems later. If your business relies on efficient application development and quality code, you need C# Design Patterns.

"The book is great! It's clear and easy to read, with loads of examples that showed my students what to do." 
 -- Larry Snyder, Emeritus Professor, University of Washington, Department of Computer Science and Engineering
 “Having the TouchDevelop book available made our events so much easier. Students could figure things out for themselves with help from the book.”
 -- Jennifer Marsman, Microsoft Principal Developer Evangelist
Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are set to become the main computers that virtually all people will own and carry with them at all times. And yet,mobile devices are not yet used for all computing tasks. A project at Microsoft Research was created to answer a simple question: “It is possible to create interesting apps directly on a smartphone or tablet, without using a separate PC or a keyboard?” The result is TouchDevelop, a programming environment that runs on all modern mobile devices such as Windows Phone, iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets, and also on PCs and Macs.
This book walks you through all of the screens of the TouchDevelop app, and it points out similarities and differences of the TouchDevelop language compared to other programming languages. For users, the book can serve as a handyreference next to the phone. The book systematically addresses all programming language constructs, starting from the very basic constructs such as variables and loops. The book also explores many of the phone sensors and data sources which make creating apps for mobile devices so rewarding.
If you are new to programming with TouchDevelop, or if you have not yet worked on touchscreen devices, we suggest that you read the book starting from Chapter 1. If you are already familiar with the basic paradigm of the TouchDevelop programming environment, then feel free to jump ahead to the later chapters that address particular topic areas.
This book is written from the perspective of a person developing their code using a web browser. The TouchDevelop Web App runs in many modern browsers on many different devices including smartphones and tablets, Macs, PC. All screenshots and navigation instructions refer to the TouchDevelop Web App running in a browser. For Windows Phone, there is a dedicated TouchDevelop app in the Windows Phone Store which gives access to many more sensors and data sources. Starting with the TouchDevelop app v3.0 for Windows Phone 8, the phone app will share the same look and navigation structure and all features of the Web App.

Changing Channels: From Just The Facts To Outrageous Opinions

Changing Channels is about television news told by journalists who live the story 24/7 Facing unique challenges posed by a unique president, newscasts are under the microscope. Just as viewers are changing channels to the one that reflects their political beliefs, journalists are reassessing their strategies. For prominent anchors and reporters the stakes are high. Is this the golden age of post-Watergate journalism? Or have some programs morphed from "just the facts" to propaganda masquerading as news? The lines are blurred as a debate rages over the new rules of the game. Donald Trump's media-bashing circus labels reporters "enemies of the people". As this drama plays out, anchors and reporters who make the most noise often get the most attention. Who is speaking truth to power and who is disseminating partisan rhetoric? And what happens next in the inevitable post-Trump world? Will broadcast journalism revert to the old normal or is this the new normal? Changing Channels explores the world of TV news - its present and its future told by the people who know it best. Through exclusive interviews and little known public statements, high-profile anchors, reporters, executives and media critics tell us what they really think when the cameras aren't rolling.
