Hi,
what is the best resource (book would be nice) to learn sh scripting (the "standard" shell on Unix systems) just like when i would learn a "normal" programming/scripting language ?
There are lots of tutorials on certain aspects of shell scripting, they mostly deal with shells in general and unix commands and so on, but i would rather like to find a more general approach - meaning a quick syntactic overview and an outlook on how to do things you normally do when programming, like implementing small algorithms and so on. Doing actual scripting, not just a structured batch file. And rather 100-liners than 1-to-3-liners.
Can you recommend a good standard book on the topic ?
I just find this video about productivity for programmers by peepcode and I'm thinking to download and see it. Besides that, I have to tell you that I prefer to read a book and take notices about it, rather than seeing a video.
So, my question is: can you recommend me a good book about productivity for programmers with tips, advices, best practice, et?
ps: I'm new into this work field(because I'm still a student).
Hey guys
I am looking for a good solid introduction book to the fundementals of network programming in C#. For example is have looked at this one
http://www.amazon.com/C-Network-Programming-Richard-Blum/dp/0782141765/ref=pd_sim_b_5
but it is quite old now. Anyone used one recently, i would greatly appriciate it
thanks

What is the best book to read about security issues that should be kept in mind while programming?
What should a c++ programmer know about security?
Is it worth buying any one of the following book If so which one should I get.
Secure Coding In C & C++ Secure
Programming Cookbook for C and C++
Writing Secure code
How to remove a blank page that gets added automatically after \part{} or \chapter{} in a book document class?
I need to add some short text describing the \part. Adding some text after the part command results in at least 3 pages with an empty page between the part heading and the text:
Part xx
(empty)
some text
How to get rid of that empty page?
P.S. Latex: How to remove blank pages coming between two chapters IN Appendix? is similar but it changes the behavior for the rest of the text while I need to remove the empty page for this one \part command only.
I learned programming on the job via high-level languages. I'm trying to gain a better understanding of the lower-level workings of computing and picked up "Design of the UNIX Operating System" by Maurice Bach.
What do I need to know in terms of which topics in this book may not be relevant to understanding Linux nuts and bolts? Is there a newer book or Linux-specific book that I should read instead? I really like the clarity of this particular book, though.
I've really enjoyed reading Peter Siebel's Coders at work book.
At the end of the last chapter (Don Knuth), i tought that the interviews selection was good but a little bit too old-school oriented.
So, in your virtual 16th chapter, which guru would you interview?
In my 16th chapter, i would be amazed to read an interview of John Carmack.
Hello,
A Facebook Sync app filled the address fields of my Mac Address Book contacts with their cities. Having tons of people who have useless addresses makes it difficult to search by people on Google Maps app (ending up scrolling through many many people- I only want to see those who have proper addresses entered).
I want to clear all the home address fields in my address book using applescript. I wrote something small but couldn't get it to work, probably needs some help from somebody who knows applescript :)
tell application "Address Book"
repeat with this_person in every person
repeat with this_address in every address of this_person
if label of this_address is "home" then
remove this_address from addresses of this_person
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
I tried to deduct the logic of multiple addresses/phones from other scripts but could only find adding them, not removing them.
Thanks! :)
I've recently joined a company who specialize in the mobile telecommunication domain. I'm encountering a lot of jargons, and I'm feeling a bit lost in most of the conversations. Although I'm quickly searching for the new terms on the web and learning stuff on the job, I would like to read an introductory book that will take me through the basics of the mobile world. Thanks for your recommendations!
I'm currently a very casual user of Apache Mahout, and I'm considering purchasing the book Mahout in Action. Unfortunately, I'm having a really hard time getting an idea of how worth it this book is -- and seeing as it's a Manning Early Access Program book (and therefore only currently available as a beta-version e-book), I can't take a look myself in a bookstore.
Can anyone recommend this as a good (or less good) guide to getting up to speed with Mahout, and/or other sources that can supplement the Mahout website?
Hi, having taken a look at a few textbooks that discuss numerical methods and C programming, I was gladly surprised when browsing through "programming in C with numerical methods for engineers" by Rojiani. I understand of course it's important that one need to have a solid background in numerical methods prior to try implementing them on a computer.
I would like to know if someone here has been using this book and if possible point out strengths and weaknesses of this textbook.
Thanks a lot...
I saw people asking about best book for learning spring, and I came across manning.spring in action was recommended most of the time so I decided to give it a go.
The thing is the author offers some pretty reasonable explanations, puzzle by puzzle it gets in your head, than you just need to code it and you're done, you get it(this is how I work don't know about the others).
When it comes to the code its very disapointing, I went trought the Knight example like 2 or 3 times by now and I see its incorrect in the book, I mean its hard already for people eager to learn and why not a note somewhere in the book like pseudo-code or something.
The knight example in the first chapter is missing two classes QuestFailedException and HolyGrail I mean other people must have noticed this, why is everyone recommending this book without saying at least it has some errors(like many others do), was anyone actually been able to compile and this first chapter example?
6.1.4 Describe an algorithm based on breadth-first search for finding a shortest
odd cycle in a graph.
6.3.5 Describe an algorithm based on directed breadth-first search for finding a
shortest directed odd cycle in a digraph.
what is most importent is that it must be a directed graph not necessary bfs but must be the shortest directed odd cycle!!!
Question was taken from "Graph Theory" by J.A. Bondy and U.S.R. Murty
thanks in advance!!!
Hi, can someone please tell me where to find the example codes used in this book:
Sitepoint The Php Anthology 2nd
edition
? Ive been looking for this since yesterday. Thanks for answering.
I have a Computer Science degree (long2 time ago) .. I do know Java OOP but i am now trying to pick up C++. I do have C and of course data structure using C or pascal.
I have started reading Bjarne Stroustrup book (The C++ Programming Language - Special Edition) but find it extremely difficult esp. some section which i don't have exposure such as Recursive Descent Parser (chapter 6).
In terms of the language i don't foresee i have problem but i have problem as mentioned cos' those topic are usually covered in a Master Degree program such as construction of compiler. I just bought a book called C++ primer (Stanley Lipmann) which i heard it is a very good book for C++. Only setback is it's of course no match with the amount of information from the original C++ creator.
Please advice.
Thanks.
All,
I'm going through the Friedman & Felleisen book "A Little Java, A Few Patterns". I'm trying to type the examples in DrJava, but I'm getting some errors. I'm a beginner, so I might be making rookie mistakes.
Here is what I have set-up:
public class ALittleJava {
//ABSTRACT CLASS POINT
abstract class Point {
abstract int distanceToO();
}
class CartesianPt extends Point {
int x;
int y;
int distanceToO(){
return((int)Math.sqrt(x*x+y*y));
}
CartesianPt(int _x, int _y) {
x=_x;
y=_y;
}
}
class ManhattanPt extends Point {
int x;
int y;
int distanceToO(){
return(x+y);
}
ManhattanPt(int _x, int _y){
x=_x;
y=_y;
}
}
}
And on the main's side:
public class Main{
public static void main (String [] args){
Point y = new ManhattanPt(2,8);
System.out.println(y.distanceToO());
}
}
The compiler cannot find the symbols Point and ManhattanPt in the program.
If I precede each by ALittleJava., I get another error in the main, i.e.,
an enclosing instance that contains ALittleJava.ManhattanPt is required
I've tried to find ressources on the 'net, but the book must have a pretty confidential following and I couldn't find much.
Thank you all.

I am completely new to programming and starting my education with visual basic 9 and SQL.
I have read Visual Basic, in easy steps, 2nd edition by Mike Mcgrath. Although it was very easy to understand, it only gave me an introduction to learning VB. I'm looking for something more in depth, albeit for a beginner.
I've read through the questions with a VB and book tag. Unfortunately, most of what I've found here references VB 6 and VB 8. Any recommendations? I cannot afford to create a library or college at the moment. So, I need to make sure that what I do buy counts.
Thanks for any suggestions!
I'm a programmer, and have completely forgotten all the advanced engineering Math I studied ~20 years ago at school. I now have an urgent need to learn about Modelling and Simulation. Though the present context is Disease Modelling, I'm not sure if there's such a thing as 'general' modelling and simulation... with concepts / techniques / algorithms that could be used in just about any domain (and not just limited to biology, finance, trade, economic, weather, etc.)
Would you have any recommendations that are easy to read by a semi-Math-literate programmer?
Basically, I cannot afford to drown myself in too much Math and theory behind M & S, hence this post.

I am a rather oldschool developer with some basic knowledge of software design principles and a good background on classic (gof) design patterns. While I continue my life as such I see lots of strange buzzwords emerge:
Aspectoriented Design, Componentoriented Design, Domain Driven Design, Domain Specific Languages, Serviceoriented (SOA) Design, Test Driven Design, Extreme Programming, Agile Development, Continuous Integration, Dependency Injection, Software Factories ...
Is there good book around that I can take with me on a roadtrip while it is taking me on a trip through all (most) of the above, delivering an 10,000 foot view on modern software archiceture and desing principles and approaches.
I own and have read most of this book, a while back. Now I'm about to embark on a pretty large project and was wanting a refresher. Anyone got a recommendation of something similar that has a focus on C#/.NET. I know the principles remain, but if only for my readability.
GUYS I need to know abt the book which is best book for a professional to improve his concept
it must be objective
if sm1 have plz send it to [email protected]
