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.

Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

webmin — Fri, 28 Oct 2005 07:46:11 +0000

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

webmin — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 14:57:37 +0000

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.

Writing Perl Modules for CPAN

webmin — Sat, 22 Oct 2005 08:48:48 +0000

A book description from Apress.Com:
Writing Perl Modules for CPAN offers Perl developers a comprehensive guide to using and contributing to the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Starting with a general overview of CPAN’s history, network topology, and navigational mechanisms, the book quickly brings you up to speed regarding how to search out and install available modules. However, in the true open source spirit, author and experienced Perl developer Sam Tregar teaches you how to not only use, but also contribute to CPAN via an in-depth discussion of module creation, submission, and maintenance.
Beginning with a survey of basic design principles, Tregar takes care to discuss all issues relevant to developers wishing to create great Perl modules, including choosing a proper name, properly using Perl’s POD (plain old documentation) feature, concepts surrounding functional and object-oriented API development, and much more. Tregar then proceeds with a complete dissertation of how modules should conform to CPAN module specifications, covering required distribution files and coding considerations, in addition to offering advice regarding proper module testing. After demonstrating how to create a module and prepare it for release, Tregar guides you through the CPAN module submission process and discusses module maintenance once the module has been contributed to the CPAN service.

Writing Perl Modules for CPAN is an indispensable guide for anyone wishing to make the most of the CPAN service.

Linux Shell Scripting Tutorial

webmin — Thu, 20 Oct 2005 17:29:55 +0000

This tutorial is designed for beginners only and This tutorial explains the basics of shell programming by showing some examples of shell programs. Its not help or manual for the shell. While reading this tutorial you can find manual quite useful (type man bash at $ prompt to see manual pages). Manual contains all necessary information you need, but it won’t have that much examples, which makes idea more clear. For that reason, this tutorial contains examples rather than all the features of shell. I assumes you have at least working knowledge of Linux i.e. basic commands like how to create, copy, remove files/directories etc or how to use editor like vi or mcedit and login to your system.
