Harvey and Paul Deitel are world famous for their best-selling books on programming and their signature LIVE CODE “TM” approach to teaching programming languages. Using their new book C++ How to Program, Fourth Edition and the C++ Multimedia Cyber Classroom, the team at Deitel and Associates, Inc. provides the fastest and most effective way to learn how to program in C++. The course covers every key concept and technique ANSI C++ developers need to master: control structures, functions, arrays, pointers and strings, classes and data abstraction, operator overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, polymorphism, I/0, templates, exception handling, file processing, data structures, and more.

This self-contained textbook assumes that the reader has some familiarity with one programming language, and adopts a simple yet rigorous approach.
The author explains the main programming paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, functional, and logic), and makes clear separation between the design, implementation and pragmatic aspects of programming languages.

Programming languages are often classified according to their paradigms, e.g. imperative, functional, logic, constraint-based, object-oriented, or aspect-oriented. A paradigm characterizes the style, concepts, and methods of the language for describing situations and processes and for solving problems, and each paradigm serves best for programming in particular application areas. Real-world problems, however, are often best implemented by a combination of concepts from different paradigms, because they comprise aspects from several realms, and this combination is more comfortably realized using multiparadigm programming languages.

Using engaging examples and a clear, straightforward approach, MICROSOFT VISUAL C# 2010: AN INTRODUCTION TO OBJECT-ORIENTED PROGRAMMING, FOURTH EDITION guides beginning programmers through developing programs in the C# language. The book provides readers with a strong background knowledge of structured programming, method calling, and parameter passing, all of which are important concepts easily transferable to other programming languages. The Fourth Edition has been written and tested using the latest version of C#, Visual C# 2010, and now offers supplementary video lessons, expanded coverage of methods, and the option to study GUI applications earlier in the text.

Take advantage of the growing trend in functional programming.
C# is the number-one language used by .NET developers and one of the most popular programming languages in the world. It has many built-in functional programming features, but most are complex and little understood. With the shift to functional programming increasing at a rapid pace, you need to know how to leverage your existing skills to take advantage of this trend.

Even experienced game developers sometimes have a hard time making their vision for a great game a reality. The number of available programming languages, libraries, and production methods can make the development process overwhelming and result in complicated, unreliable game code. C# Game Programming: For Serious Game Creation shows programmers how to write simple, clean, and reliable code step-by-step through the creation of a basic game. The game is built using C#, a high-level programming language, and OpenGL, an industry favorite for graphics display. Youll get an overview of the methods and libraries used to build good games, learn how to use those libraries and create your own, and finally build your own scrolling shooter game. Youll even find tips and information on how to develop your own game ideas and youll have an excellent code base to work with. C# Game Programming: For Serious Game Creation provides you with all the information you need to take your game ideas from concept to completion.

Object Oriented Programming is a very important aspect of modern programming languages. The basic principles of Object Oriented Programming are relatively easy to learn. Putting them together into working designs can be challenging.

This book makes programming more of a pleasure than a chore using powerful Python 3 object-oriented features of Python 3. It clearly demonstrates the core OOP principles and how to correctly implement OOP in Python.

With a clear writing style that is stripped of highly technical jargon, Programming Logic and Design, Introductory, Sixth Edition provides beginning programmers with a guide to developing structured program logic. The books main goal is to introduce universal programming concepts, while enforcing good style and logical thinking along the way. The Sixth Edition will offer clearer explanations, reorganization to better reflect how programming languages are taught, increased emphasis on modularity, and two new appendices - Flowchart Symbols and Structures.

As a textbook suitable for the classroom or self-study, Michael Scotts Programming Language Pragmatics provides a worthy tour of the theory and practice of how programming languages are run on todays computers. Clearly organized and filled with a wide-ranging perspective on over 40 different languages, this book will be appreciated for its depth and breadth of coverage on an essential topic in computer science.

Kenneth Louden and Kenneth Lamberts new edition of PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE, 3E gives advanced undergraduate students an overview of programming languages through general principles combined with details about many modern languages. Major languages used in this edition include C, C++, Smalltalk, Java, Ada, ML, Haskell, Scheme, and Prolog; many other languages are discussed more briefly. The text also contains extensive coverage of implementation issues, the theoretical foundations of programming languages, and a large number of exercises, making it the perfect bridge to compiler courses and to the theoretical study of programming languages.

For undergraduate students in Computer Science and Computer Programming courses.

Now in its Tenth Edition, Concepts of Programming Languages introduces students to the main constructs of contemporary programming languages and provides the tools needed to critically evaluate existing and future programming languages. Readers gain a solid foundation for understanding the fundamental concepts of programming languages through the authors presentation of design issues for various language constructs, the examination of the design choices for these constructs in some of the most common languages, and critical comparison of the design alternatives. In addition, Sebesta strives to prepare the reader for the study of compiler design by providing an in-depth discussion of programming language structures, presenting a formal method of describing syntax, and introducing approaches to lexical and syntactic analysis.

If youre interested in learning how to write computer programs, youll love this training. Its perfect for desktop/web application developers who need an intro course in Python, for systems administrators who are interested in using Python for automation and for anyone interested in a programming career.

By the time youre done watching, youll be ready to develop Python automation scripts, desktop apps, and/or Web apps.

Youll also have a thorough knowledge of how to use Python on all major platforms and a healthy jumpstart for learning other programming languages (like Java, Perl, C and Ruby).

The development of programming languages has radically modified our relation to language, complexity and machines. This book is an introduction to the principles around which these languages are organised – imperative constructions, functional constructions, reference, dynamic data types, objects and more. Using Java as a main language, but systematically comparing it to other languages it enables the reader to understand the unifying concepts that lie beneath each particular language and provides the tools that allow the students to adapt to new programming languages.

This is the 4th edition of the worlds bestselling book on Objective-C programming, fully updated to cover Xcode 4.2 and Automatic Reference Counting (ARC).

Programming in Objective-C is a concise, carefully written tutorial on the basics of Objective-C and object-oriented programming for Apples iOS and Mac platforms. The book makes no assumptions about prior experience with object-oriented programming languages or with the C language (which Objective-C is based upon). Because of this, both beginners and experienced programmers alike can use this book to quickly and effectively learn the fundamentals of Objective-C. Readers can also learn the concepts of object-oriented programming without having to first learn all of the intricacies of the underlying C programming language.
