This practical guide offers a clear introduction to network programming using Internet sockets, commonly referred to as 'sockets programming.' While the sockets API originated in Berkeley, it has since been adapted across various platforms, including Unix, Linux, and Windows. Though the API can be overwhelming at first, this book simplifies the lea

Introductory statistics courses prepare students to think statistically but cover relatively few statistical methods. Building on the basic statistical thinking emphasized in an introductory course, a second course in statistics at the undergraduate level can explore a large number of statistical methods. This text covers more advanced graphical su

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide is a comprehensive and practical resource for developers looking to dive into Linux kernel module development. Written by experienced contributors, this guide covers essential concepts, from writing simple "Hello World" modules to advanced topics like character device drivers, system calls, and synchronizat

If you know how to program, you have the skills to turn data into knowledge. This thoroughly revised edition presents statistical concepts computationally, rather than mathematically, using programs written in Python. Through practical examples and exercises based on real-world datasets, you'll learn the entire process of exploratory data analysis

Of all the free scripting languages, why should you learn Rexx? Rexx is unique in that it combines power with ease of use. Long the dominant scripting language on mainframes, it is definitely a "power" language, yet it is also so easy to use that its popularity has expanded to every conceivable platform. Today Rexx developers use the language on Wi

The Internet's exponential growth is driven by the development and emergence of advanced technologies, attended by a flood of new services. The maturity of these technologies is a decisive factor in the progress of the entire telecom industry, leading to a profound transformation of computer networks from traditional, hardware-centric functions to

This open book is a general introduction to the statistical analysis of networks, and can serve both as a research monograph and as a textbook. Numerous fundamental tools and concepts needed for the analysis of networks are presented, such as network modeling, community detection, graph-based semi-supervised learning and sampling in networks. The d

AI coding assistants are helping teams create software faster than ever. But to turn that speed into real innovation, organizations must go beyond writing code and deliver software quickly, securely, and reliably. While AI-assisted coding is now mainstream, what happens after the code is written is still catching up. AI-Native Software Delivery is

Kubernetes is the de facto standard for container orchestration and distributed applications management across a microservices framework. With this practical cookbook, you'll learn hands-on Kubernetes recipes for automating the deployment, scaling, and operations of application containers across clusters of hosts. In this fully updated 2nd edition,

This book is based on "First semester in Numerical Analysis with Julia". The contents of the original book are retained, while all the algorithms are implemented in Python (Version 3.8.0). The authors present Python as an open source (under OSI), interpreted, general-purpose programming language that has a large number of users around the world. Th

This guide introduces GNU Octave, a powerful, open-source software environment for scientific computing and numerical problem-solving. Through practical applications in linear algebra and calculus, readers will learn to leverage Octave's computational capabilities while strengthening their mathematical understanding.
