Programming from the Ground Up uses Linux assembly language to teach new programmers the most important concepts in programming. It takes you a step at a time through these concepts: * How the processor views memory * How the processor operates * How programs interact with the operating system * How computers represent data internally * How to do low-level and high-level optimizationMost beginning-level programming books attempt to shield the reader from how their computer really works. Programming from the Ground Up starts by teaching how the computer works under the hood, so that the programmer will have a sufficient background to be successful in all areas of programming.This book is being used by Princeton University in their COS 217 "Introduction to Programming Systems" course.

This book takes developers on a journey into the cloud with Docker and Kubernetes. It walks you through the basics of Docker containers, how they are built, run, and published, and how the Kubernetes system allows you to use containers to better manage a cloud native application. Additionally, it walks you through various issues in cloud architecture, and how to design a cloud architecture that will work with your application and your team. The book takes a unique approach, getting you immersed in each subject with tutorials, then building up your technical knowledge, and finally backing up and thinking about more big-picture issues. Part one introduces Docker, building and working with Docker images, and covering best practices for Docker Containers. Part two covers the practicalities of "cloud native¿ and managing a Kubernetes application, including a full working example. The last part covers the design of cloud and microservice architectures, includingthe use of enterprise message queues, multi-site configurations and the common values that such architectures follow.This approach accelerates learning and keeps you moving forward without leaving you behind. The appendices also contain a wealth of worthwhile reference material for routine cloud application management.What You Will LearnUnderstand Docker and containerizationGain insight into what Kubernetes isMaster essential cloud architecture design principlesDesign and implement notes for building cloud architecturesWho This Book Is ForPrimarily developers who are moving to the cloud and want to get a sense of the environment they are getting into, and developers who want to move into a larger role of cloud architecture.

New programmers start here...this book introduces students or aspiring professionals to the world of computer programming using JavaScript and related technologies. This book doesn't just teach the basics of programming, but also all of the tools that new programmers need to get started, including the basics of making web pages and how the Internet works. Programming for Absolute Beginners offers practice problems, activities, and a host of resources to get new programmers started, plus a large glossary of terms introduced in the book and that a new programmer might encounter when learning on their own. No special software is required; this book will help you regardless of what your computer setup is, and source code will be freely available via GitHub.What You Will LearnHow computers workHow computers communicate over networksHow web pages are built with HTML and CSSHow JavaScript worksHow JavaScript interacts with web pagesIntermediate JavaScript topics such as recursion and scopingUsing JavaScript for network communication Who This Book Is ForAnyone wanting to begin computer programming, including students who need to learn the fundamentals and early professionals who want to go back and revisit the basics.

Many programmers have limited effectiveness because they don't have a deep understanding of how their computer actually works under the hood.  In Learn to Program with Assembly, you will learn to program in assembly language - the language of the computer itself. Assembly language is often thought of as a difficult and arcane subject.  However, author Jonathan Bartlett presents the material in a way that works just as well for first-time programmers as for long-time professionals.  Whether this is your first programming book ever or you are a professional wanting to deepen your understanding of the computer you are working with, this book is for you.  The book teaches 64-bit x86 assembly language running on the Linux operating system.  However, even if you are not running Linux, a provided Docker image will allow you to use a Mac or Windows computer as well.The book starts with extremely simple programs to help you get your grounding, going steadily deeper with each chapter.  At the end of the first section, you will be familiar with most of the basic instructions available on the processor that you will need for any task.  The second part deals with interactions with the operating system.  It shows how to make calls to the standard library, how to make direct system calls to the kernel, how to write your own library code, and how to work with memory.  The third part shows how modern programming language features such as exception handling, object-oriented programming, and garbage collection work at the assembly language level.  Additionally, the book comes with several appendices covering various topics such as running the debugger, vector processing, optimization principles, a list of common instructions, and other important subjects.This book is the 64-bit successor to Jonathan Bartlett's previous book, Programming from the Ground Up, which has been a programming classic for more than 15 years.  This book covers similar ground but with modern 64-bit processors, and also includes a lot more information about how high level programming language features are implemented in assembly language.What You Will LearnHow the processor operates How computers represent data internally How programs interact with the operating systemHow to write and use dynamic code librariesHow high-level programming languages implement their features Who This Book Is ForAnyone who wants to know how their computer really works under the hood, including first time programmers, students, and professionals.
