Numerical Recipes in C - The Art of Scientific Computing
By William H. Press

This book, like its predecessor edition, is supposed to teach you methods of
numerical computing that are practical, efficient, and (insofar as possible) elegant.
We presume throughout this book that you, the reader, have particular tasks that you
want to get done. We view our job as educating you on how to proceed. Occasionally
we may try to reroute you briefly onto a particularly beautiful side road; but by and
large, we will guide you along main highways that lead to practical destinations.

Many people still believe that learning Linux is difficult, or that only experts can understand how a Linux system works. Though there is a lot of free documentation available, the documentation is widely scattered on the Web, and often confusing, since it is usually oriented toward experienced UNIX or Linux users. Today, thanks to the advancements in development, Linux has grown in popularity both at home and at work. The goal of this guide is to show people of all ages that Linux can be simple and fun, and used for all kinds of purposes.

Programming the .NET Compact Framework in C# and Visual Basic .NET

October 27th, 2005

In 1986, Paul Yao and David Durant co-authored the first book on Windows Programming - back before anyone had an inkling that Windows would become what it is today. And now, these two pioneering technical wizards have teamed up again to help a new generation of programmers learn about an important new technology: the .NET Compact Framework.

Paul and Dave are simultaneously writing two Compact Framework books: one with all C# samples, the other with all VB samples. (The samples are going to be made available for download to registered users.) Prior to the publication, all chapters from both books will be made available on this website for public review and comment.
