Business at the Speed of Thought: Succeeding in the Digital Economy Date: 2000 Business at the Speed of Thought: Succeeding in the Digital Economy

Amazon.co.uk Review
So where do you want to go tomorrow? That's the question Bill Gates tries to answer in Business @ the Speed of Thought. Gates offers a 12-step programme for companies wanting to do business in the next millennium. The book's premise: Thanks to technology, the speed of business is accelerating at an ever-increasing rate and to survive, it must develop an infrastructure--a "digital nervous system"--that allows for the unfettered movement of information inside a company. Gates writes: "The most meaningful way to differentiate your company from your competition ... is to do an outstanding job with information. How you gather, manage and use information will determine whether you win or lose."

The book is peppered with examples of companies that have already successfully engineered information networks to manage inventory, sales, and customer relationships better. The examples run from Coca-Cola's ability to download sales data from vending machines to Microsoft's own internal practices, such as its reliance on e-mail for company-wide communication and the conversion of most paper processes to digital ones (an assertion that seems somewhat at odds with the now-infamous "by hand on sheets of paper" method of tracking profits that was revealed during Microsoft's antitrust trial).

Product Description
Most companies have a sizeable investment in technology but are realising only 20% of its potential benefit. BUSINESS @ THE SPEED OF THOUGHT introduces the concept of the digital nervous system which unites all systems and processes under one common infrastructure, allowing companies to make quantum leaps in efficiency, growth and profit. Using detailed tours of Microsoft and other major corporations, Gates demonstrates how integrated technology can transform any business by energizing its three major elements: customer/partner relationships, employees and process, and offers practical suggestions on how this can be achieved.

Amazon Reviews:
Turbo Pascal 3.0 was the affordable program which opened up the PC for programmers, and this is the original manual shipped with Turbo 3. This is one of the best references to using Turbo Pascal in DOS mode.

This was the first integrated development environment (IDE) and a revalation in 1982. Prior to its release, compilers were run from the command line or as batch jobs on the main frames. This might be of interest to computer programming historians; however, given the nature of the industry, it's likely to just be forgotten or mentioned with a little smirk.

At the time, this was the best reference book for explaining how the Commodore PET worked and how to program it.
Obviously it has been superseded by all the many developments in computers since then, but if you are still working with, or studying, a vintage Commodor PET, or its simulated equivalent, this book is a must.

Publisher Prentice Hall PTR  Upper Saddle River, NJ, USA 

Ada is a structured, statically typed, imperative, wide-spectrum, and object-oriented high-level computer programming language, extended from Pascal and other languages. It was originally designed by a team led by Jean Ichbiah of CII Honeywell Bull under contract to the United States Department of Defense (DoD) from 1977 to 1983 to supersede the hundreds of programming languages then used by the DoD. Ada is strongly typed and compilers are validated for reliability in mission-critical applications, such as avionics software. Ada is an international standard; the current version (known as Ada 2005) is defined by joint ISO/ANSI standard, combined with major Amendment ISO/IEC 8652:1995/Amd 1:2007.

Ada was named after Ada Lovelace (1815–1852), who is often credited as being the first computer programmer.

Amazon Reviews:
"Ages ago my instructor at the local university computing center gave me this book. After completing all etudes
I was accepted as an apprentice programmer at age fourteen. This is an exceptional book! It teaches you to think like a programmer. Unfortunately it has been out of print for more than a decade."

"This is one of the most wonderful books on computer programming.

To use the musical metaphor presented in the book, the reader will be challenged to compose pieces ranging from simple melodies to full blown symphonies, in styles ranging from classical to modern hip-hop. While many of the examples are in what would be viewed as archaic languages, the problems themselves are agnostic to the selection of computer languages used. One of the lessons is that there is no single silver-bullet language, and it is best to learn how to select the right instrument for the part.

Each programming Etude is presented as a problem. Background information is given to aid in the composition of the solution, and for some of the puzzles there is a supplied example solution in the back of the book. A rough time frame is given (ranging from a few hours for a single person to a class team project that might take an entire semester).

The focus on each Etude is in the critical thinking required to develop the solution while the actual implementation is assumed to be already within the grasp of the reader. Again to use the musical metaphor, the reader is assumed to be able to play several musical instruments, understand scales, chords, and can read sheet music, and is now ready to move on to their own musical compositions"

Programming Real-Time Computer Systems Date: 1965 Programming Real-Time Computer Systems

Programming Real-Time Computer Systems, by James Martin,
1965; 386 pages.
Publisher: Prentice-Hall International,

REVIEW:
Within what we all know to be a very rapidly expanding
industry, one aspect of computer usage—Real Time—is
almost exploding. Quite apart from the airline, bank and
communications systems which are so time-sensitive in their
normal operation, enlightened managements are realizing
that, to use computers to their maximum efficiency as management
tools, demand-processing is an essential and quick
responses really do matter. Senior executives have grown
tired of being presented with wads of paper which they never
have time to read, and now realize that with Real-Time systems
"management by exception" really can be accomplished.
Mr. Martin's book will no doubt stimulate interest in and
argument about many aspects of Real-Time. Whilst giving a
good basic account of the philosophy of Real-Time programming,
it has the drawback common to all textbooks which deal
with a rapidly advancing technology—it was out-of-date
almost before it reached the printers.

Apart from a glaring set of printer's errors in Table 1 of
Chapter 7, Mr. Martin's book is well set out. It should
provide the novice in this field with a good semi-historical
account of the development of programming methods and a
background to Real-Time implementation as a whole.
Provided that the reader is aware of the existence of other
programming philosophies and methods, the sections on
programming aids, and system implementation, in themselves,
make the book a worthwhile acquisition.

Author: Werner Buchholz     
Publisher McGraw-Hill, Inc.  Hightstown, NJ, USA

This Amazon review is from: Planning a Computer System: Project Stretch (Hardcover)
Werner Buchholz was a Systems Consultant on the IBM Research and Engineering Corporate Staff and manager of engineering planning during Project Stretch. This 1962 book explains the functional characteristics of large high-speed digital computer. The electronic computer improved scientific research by reducing costs and times. The Stretch computer was planned with the involvement of users and designers, this book records the design effor for the instruction set and related functional characteristics (`Preface'). The IBM 7030 was the latest in advanced design. This book does not cover the programming techniques used in the compiling and supervisory programs for this system.

Project Stretch started in 1954 to use the experience gained from early computers (Chapter 1). A computer built of solid-state components (transistors and diodes) would have higher reliability, lower power consumption, smaller size, lower cost (automatic assembly), and greater speed. They wanted a machine that was a hundred times faster than the 704 (p.2). This required components that were possible but did not yet exist. The Atomic Energy Commission gave a contract. Automatic checking facilities would detect and correct errors. The best features of existing computers would be used. A high-speed parallel arithmetic unit would execute floating-point arithmetic (p.3). Main memory would be 8,192 words (65,536 bytes). A unit provided simultaneous operation of input-output, storage, and data-transmission devices. Magnetic disk units with a capacity of one million words (8 million bytes) were used for external storage (p.4).

Chapter 2 explains the Architectural Philosophy, to meet the needs of the user. The engineering design should be economical and feasible. Some real-time tasks needed very high performance, others were too large to use existing computers. A general-purpose computer is needed for scientific processing, business data processing, and large information processing needs (p.6). A fresh design permits many system improvements. Efficiency required making programming easier by using a compiler (p.8). A rich instruction set was used to offset memory limitations (p.10). Multiprogramming would take advantage of a more powerful machine. Concurrent operation of the computer with input-output operations increases speed (p.11). The paragraphs on Multiprogramming foretells the future (p.13).

Chapter 3 provides a System Summary. Chapter 5 explains why binary numbers were used (more economical than decimal). The character set allows 120 characters with lower-case letters (Chapter 6). The set of instructions is the most distinguishing characteristic of a computer (Chapter 9). The operation of a computer depends on instruction sequencing (Chapter 10). Chapter 12 discusses Input-Output Control design. The 7030 is capable of working on multiple instructions (Chapter 13). Multiprogramming allows concurrent execution of programs to improve performance. The Central Processing Unit was designed for this (Chapter 14). There are pictures of circuit cards (p.223) and the main frame (p.227). The Exchange controls the flow of information between internal memory and external storage (Chapter 16). Chapter 17 discusses non-arithmetical systems such as information retrieval, language translation, etc. [The example on page 270 assumes the values are in descending order.]

Product Dimensions: 22.4 x 15 x 2.2 cm

Amazon Review:
It's amazing how much this book manages to pack into its three-hundred-odd pages, yet it is definitely showing its age.
Most of the 'real world' examples - systems "capable of between one and ten million operations per second" and their software - date to the late 1970s or early 1980s. Digital logic is covered and a simple microprogrammed CPU is worked through as a (good) example but it neglects the fact that, in the last fifteen years, CPU architectures have moved completely away from microcode, passing through RISC and onwards to VLIW. There is obviously no mention of the modern internet as the book pre-dates the WWW. GUIs - or, in fact, any user interfaces less complex than SQL - are another notable omission.

The fundamentals of algorithms and CS are, of course, timeless and this book is an average - though highly compact - introduction to the subject. For those with more time available, I'd recommend 'Foundations of Computer Science' by Aho/Ullman and Knuth's 'The Art of Computer Programming' contains far more detailed coverage of algorithms. Of course, no matter what you choose, this book will still be required reading for the CompSci course at Cambridge...

The Rough Guide to the Internet 2000 Date: 2000 The Rough Guide to the Internet 2000

5th Edition (Internet (Rough Guides), 2000) [Paperback]
by Angus J. Kennedy (Author)

Amazon Review:
The Rough Guide series, famous for its listings of skanky Italian hostels and super-cheap Istanbul eateries, now covers the wildest territory of all. The Internet: The Rough Guide 2000 is a tourist's guide to the online world, complete with information on what equipment you need, what it'll cost, and what to see once you're connected. This latest edition reflects recent changes in site locations and contents.

Hardly bigger than a coaster, this book packs a remarkable amount of information into its minimal bulk. Though its small format makes it somewhat difficult to use (it won't lie open), author Angus Kennedy competently explains everything from basic connection procedures to multimedia and page publishing in a fraction of the space other books require (and at far less cost too). Fans of other Rough Guide books will be pleased by coverage of the Internet as it applies to travelers (Web-based mail sites, cybercafés, and the like).

The how-to information represents only half of what this guide contains. The rest is a random walk, largely on the Web's weird side. You'll find references to sites claiming to be the grossest (in an 8-year-old's sense of the word) on the Web, a site where you can get a downward-ticking death clock, Mr. Cranky's movie reviews, and "99 Ways to Open a Beer Bottle." Sure, there's some serious reference stuff, but it misses the point. Overall, the book is almost as much fun as opening 99 beer bottles in a skanky Italian hostel. --David Wall

Topics covered: The Internet from every angle. What it is, what it's good for, why and how you should connect. Having connected you, the author skips off on a eclectic tour of things to see and do online.

This ICL Series 39 An Introduction to VME is a quality publication of 168 pages with coloured illustrations
The ICL Series 39 was a range of mainframe and minicomputer computer systems released by the UK manufacturer ICL in 1985.

The Series 39 range was based upon the New Range concept and the VME operating system from the company's ICL 2900 line, and was introduced as two ranges:

Series 39 "Estriel" systems (Series 39 Level 40 and above, including multinodes), which replaced previous mid-range and large processors from the 2900 range, and needed a full computer room environment
Series 39 DM1 systems (up to Series 39 Level 30), which were intended to replace the smaller processors such as the ICT1901/2, the ICL2903/4 and the ME29 ranges. These brought mainframe class operating system facilities into the office environment, a first for ICL

The original Series 39 introduced the "S3L" processors and microcodes, and a nodal architecture (see ICL VME) which is a form of Non-Uniform Memory Access which allowed nodes to be up to 500 metres apart.

The Series 39 range introduced Nodal Architecture, a novel implementation of distributed shared memory that can be seen as a hybrid of a multiprocessor system and a cluster design. Each machine consists of a number of nodes, and each node contains its own order-code processor and main memory. Virtual machines are typically located (at any one time) on one node, but have the capability to run on any node and to be relocated from one node to another. Discs and other peripherals are shared between nodes. Nodes are connected using a high-speed optical bus using multiple fibre optic cables, which is used to provide applications with a virtual shared memory. Memory segments that are marked as shared (public or global segments) are replicated to each node, with updates being broadcast over the inter-node network. Processes which use unshared memory segments (nodal or local) run in complete isolation from other nodes and processes.

The semaphore instructions prove their worth by controlling access to the shared writable memory segments while allowing the contents to be moved around efficiently.

Overall, a well configured Series 39 with VME had an architecture which can provide a significant degree of proofing against disasters, a nod to the abortive VME/T ideas of the previous decade.

Reviews:
"I bought this book to help me with my AS Computing course as Pascal is one of the languages we have to learn. It was very helpful with nice code samples, well annotated lines and practise exercises. Worth every penny!

This is a great book for the beginner programmer wanting to learn something simple and quick, if you are starting pascal or delphi.

This book was an excellent read and further more an excellent reference book. Although I was not new to programming, I was new to pascal.

This book filters out the crap and really shows you what you need to know. If you are an a-level student needing help with pascal, get this book now.

It helped me to complete my project with ease.

With really great coverage of file organisation methods (serial, random, pointers etc) it really will help you."

Paperback, 280 pages
isbn0273028200    (isbn13: 9780273028208)

This basic introductory text on microprocessors and their applications assumes little previous knowledge of computer hardware. The essential characteristics of microprocessors and their operating and application principles are provided with the minimum of electrical/electronic detail. In its considerably revised and updated second edition, the Intel 8085 is the basic reference. Students in technical colleges and universities will find the approach particularly suitable. Although the book stands on its own, the many program and application examples can be run directly on a microprocessor prototyping system, which makes the book suitable for a hands-on introductory course

The SECD Microprocessor: A Verification Case Study Date: 31st May 1992 The SECD Microprocessor: A Verification Case Study

The SECD Microprocessor: A Verification Case Study (The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science) (Hardcover)
by Brian T. Graham (Author)

The SECD Microprocessor is a substantial case study in hardware specification and verification. The subject is a silicon implementation of Landin's SECD machine, which is transformed into a layout, formally specified, and partially verified using the HOL proof assistant. It is important as a nontrivial worked example, clearly describing the organization and execution of the correctness of proof, and by making the sources available, will be helpful to those considering the use or learning about the application of formal methods.
The architecture is designed to provide support for functional programming, with complex machine instruction to support recursive definitions and function calls. This considerably raises the complexity of the state transitions to be verified, and an abstract data type and operations are introduced to express the specification.
The SECD Microprocessor illustrates what formal methods can achieve today, not only by some expert elite, but by anyone prepared to carefully consider the problems at hand.

ISBN-10: 0201100886
ISBN-13: 978-0201100884
Product Dimensions: 23.6 x 15.7 x 3.6 cm

This introduction to compilers is the direct descendant of the well-known book by Aho and Ullman, Principles of Compiler Design. The authors present updated coverage of compilers based on research and techniques that have been developed in the field over the past few years. The book provides a thorough introduction to compiler design and covers topics such as context-free grammars, fine state machines, and syntax-directed translation

Amazon Review:
During each compiler stage (lexical analysis, syntax analysis, translation, type checking, translation, code generation, and code optimization) multiple methods, strategies, and algorithms are presented. This comprehensive book examines items that are unique to the various languages presented (Fortran, C, and Pascal); there are even sections on dealing with estimation of types (10.12) and symbolic debugging of optimized code (10.13). Wow! The exercises are thorough, challenging, and thought provoking. Examples are interleaved with the discussion and algorithms. There is an excellent set of historical and bibliographic information at the end of each chapter. The use of automated tools such as lex, yacc, and compiler-generators is discussed throughout the text. This is an advanced book, however a good understanding of compilers can be obtained without understanding the details of every algorithm.

"I bought this book in 1990. I still read it from time to time. I could not have been a successful programmer without this. I would strongly recommend this to anybody who wants to be a programmer. The first ever book you should read. I will save this book for my children, grand children and so on."
"This book "How to solve it by computer" is a must read book for those who want to be programmer. Dromey teaches each and every problem in the easy and understandable way. He doesn't use any particular language to solve all those problems, he just uses pseudo code English-like language. Any person who wants to be programmer should first read this book and then only start learning Programming languages."
"This book should be treated as Bible. It starts with very simple examples as swapping two numbers and goes in depth taking you along with it. I have not found anything as good as this in many years. It gives a beginner programmer much needed confidence very soon. It does not use much programming language (It uses pascal syntax...but pascal is almost English). If you are entering into programming field... start with this book. You will never forget "How to Solve it by computers" in your entire life. This book has no shelf life. You will never need this again....but you cannot do it without first time."

The Pick operating system (often called just "the Pick system" or simply "Pick") is a demand-paged, multiuser, virtual memory, time-sharing operating system based around a unique "multivalued" database. It is used primarily for business data processing. Although it started on a variety of minicomputers, the system and various implementations eventually spread to a large variety of microcomputers and mainframe computers, and is still in use today.

The Pick database is a 'hash-file' data management system. A hash-file system is a collection of dynamic associative arrays which are organized altogether and linked and controlled using associative files as a database management system. Being hash-file oriented, Pick provides efficiency in data access time in many cases. All data structures in Pick are hash-files (at the lowest level) meaning records are stored as associated couplets of a primary key to a set of values.

Pick was originally implemented as the Generalized Information Retrieval Language System (GIRLS) on an IBM System/360 in 1965 by Don Nelson and Dick Pick at TRW for use by the U.S. Army to control the inventory of Cheyenne helicopter parts. Pick was subsequently commercially released in 1973 by Microdata (and their British distributor CMC) as the Reality Operating System now supplied by Northgate Information Solutions.

Amazon Review by Linda Zarate (Amazon user published 2002-03-26 )  
 When this book was first published in 1991 it presented a viable approach to getting IT under control. The 1995 second edition contained refinements and was even more valuable because it came out in the aftermath of the industry-wide movement to decentralize, which only reinforced the central theme of the book: IT needs to be managed centrally. Although this book is as valid today as it was when first published, others with a fresher approach have been published in the ensuing 7 years since the second edition. However, this book is still invaluable as a secondary text for a number of reasons:
(1) It is focused on business control of IT, and centralized control at that. This message needs to be reinforced, in my opinion, and the book provides compelling reasons for doing so.

(2) Chapter 3's discussion of the IT director's job is really an examination of politics and challenges that still doggedly remain in IT in spite of being exposed year after year. The case studies in this chapter alone make this book worth buying and reading. Chapter 4, The Culture Gap, is also invaluable and shows that after 7 years since this edition came out that we're still grappling with the same old issues.

(3) The book's anecdotes, case studies and pull-no-punches comments about pitfalls and challenges are sanity checks that should be revisited by pulling this book from your shelf, dusting it off and turning to a random page - you are sure to spot a phrase or illustration that will influence you. Think of it as high-tech I Ching.

If you want a more up-to-date text on managing IT methodically and quantitatively I recommend anything written by Dan Remenyi. However, if you want deep insights and a book from which you can find inspiration or ideas by turning to a random page, this will serve you long after the more technical tomes have lost their appeal.

ISBN-13: 978-0876268308

Amazon Review:
"t was written by a mainframer for mainframers, and the slant towards MVS needs to be aligned to contemporary systems.

However, here are some of the reasons why I feel this book still has value:

- The principles haven't changed. While the first chapter on debugging is aimed at mainframe systems programmers, consider some of the topics - "What did you change recently?", "Corrective Redesign", and "Timing Problems". These, and the other eighteen items covered are most certainly relevant today regardless of the programming language(s) or environments. Other chapters that are well grounded in principles include (3) Prevention, (4) Coding Practices, (6) Testing and (7) Management.

- It's an easy read. Each chapter addresses topics in short one-to-two page essays. I especially like the wry humor which reminds me of Geoffrey James' "The Tao of Programming" (ISBN 0931137071), and the fact that each topic is covered in sufficient depth to make you think, but doesn't go into superfluous or unnecessary detail.

- Gerald Weinberg's forward to this book could have been written yesterday instead of in 1989!

Of course, if you are one of the shrinking group of MVS (and VM) systems programmers this book will be much more meaningful, but I think that any programmer will benefit from this book. I would love to see it updated and republished in a 3rd edition."

This book and the other one on Advanced programming with Pascal are ideal for beginning computer science students to learn programming fundamentals and data structures. Needless to say, this book is outdated, but then, how many languages are "current" after two years? If you want the plain basics, get this book. If not, go for those monster 2000 page java books... Pascal is beautiful as simple things are.

The SNOBOL4 Programming Language Date: 1968 The SNOBOL4 Programming Language

SNOBOL (String Oriented Symbolic Language) is a series of computer programming languages developed between 1962 and 1967 at AT&T Bell Laboratories by David J. Farber, Ralph E. Griswold and Ivan P. Polonsky, culminating in SNOBOL4. It was one of a number of text-string-oriented languages developed during the 1950s and 1960s; others included COMIT and TRAC.

SNOBOL4 stands apart from most programming languages by having patterns as a first-class data type (i.e. a data type whose values can be manipulated in all ways permitted to any other data type in the programming language) and by providing operators for pattern concatenation and alternation. Strings generated during execution can be treated as programs and executed.

SNOBOL4 was quite widely taught in larger US universities in the late 1960s and early 1970s and was widely used in the 1970s and 1980s as a text manipulation language in the humanities.

Mastering the VIC-20 Date: Unknown Mastering the VIC-20

This book is a machine-specific introduction to microcomputers based on the VIC-20, designed to supplement the booklet provided with the machine. It offers a wealth of intresting programs can be supplied separately on tape or disk, or entered by the reader.

After a comprehensive study of BASIC and VIC-20 structure, the reader is introduced to machine code programming using the VICMON assembler. A unique feature is the quality and quantity  of programs contained  in the book, which are used to illustrate  classic problems arising in programming, and show how solutions can emerge quite naturally. Several of the longer programs are commercial in their own right. These include MINISYN, setting up the VIC as a two-octave keyboard instrument wirg sustain and colour display: PONTOON, an excellent card game used to illustrate  shuffle routines, card displays and program logic; and STARSHIP, as classic star trek game, which will be particularly popular and appealing. There are also innumerable tables and diagrams.

Hi-resolution graphics in BASIC and Machines Code and explained in detail. Routines for saving a Hi-resolution screen to disk or tape are given, together with a BASIC program which will output a Hi-resolution screen to the VIC-1515 printer.

Smalltalk-80: The Interactive Programming Environment Date: December 1983 Smalltalk-80: The Interactive Programming Environment

Smalltalk is an object-oriented, dynamically typed, reflective programming language. Smalltalk was created as the language to underpin the "new world" of computing exemplified by "human–computer symbiosis."[1] It was designed and created in part for educational use, more so for constructionist learning, at Xerox PARC by Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls, Adele Goldberg, Ted Kaehler, Scott Wallace, and others during the 1970s, influenced by Lisp, Logo, Sketchpad and Simula.

The language was first generally released as Smalltalk-80 and has been widely used since. Smalltalk-like languages are in continuing active development, and have gathered loyal communities of users around them. ANSI Smalltalk was ratified in 1998 and represents the standard version of Smalltalk.

An Introduction to Operating Systems (World Student S.) by Harvey M. Deitel (Author) Date: 1984 An Introduction to Operating Systems (World Student S.) by Harvey M. Deitel (Author)

'An Introduction to Operating Systems, Revised First Edition, Including Case Studies in Unix, Vax, CP/M, MVS, VM, with concurrent Programming in Ada'

Amazon Review:
There are some good things to say about this book. It's written in clear, plain language, with helpful illustrations and code examples. Key terms are highlighted and defined concisely.

Unfortunately there are many more bad things to say about it.

Let's face it, this subject is about as exciting as counting freckles. The baroque ugliness of the book's design, intended to suggest in appearance an old notebook of Leonardo da Vinci, has already been mentioned by other reviewers. It certainly doesn't make reading easier.

The authors have tried to liven things up by including anecdotes, biographical sketches, mini-case studies, and other sidebar material. It's a good-hearted but wrong-headed effort. None of this material is necessary, and it only serves to make a long story longer. The book is over 1200 pages long. The last thing a college student needs in his backpack is more weight to carry around all day. And who's actually going to read this stuff? (Hmm, let's see... what to do with my study time? fix my data structures code? perpare for my Calc exam? no, I think I'll read some speculation about the origin of the word "glitch".)

It isn't just the sidebar fluff that pads the book's length. A typical chapter finishes up with a two-page summary, four pages of glossary (unnecessary if you've read the chapter, where the terms are already defined and set in colored type), four pages of exercises , and four pages of bibliography. Yes, a bibliography is appended to each chapter. I am not talking a simple "suggested for further reading". I am talking works cited, 100 or more per chapter. In one case the bib is 13 pages long, with over 400 citations. Who is this for? How many undergraduate students are going to pursue these references?

The makers of this book have employed some crafty strategies to pad their work. Likely to go unnoticed is the redundant fifty-page glossary at the very end of the book, in case you missed the ones at the end of each chapter. The book's table of contents is unnecessarily detailed, with an entry for chapter headings, subdivisions, sub-subdivisions, as well as each sidebar. Next comes a list of every illustration and code example. In case you need to find one fast, or something. There follows a twenty-page preface which details the book's features, and includes a "Tour of the Book", an overview of the eight parts and 21 chapters of the book. The book's actual text doesn't get started until 66 pages in.

I'm guessing this sort of content goes over well with textbook committees, because it means they don't have to read the book to get a sense of its content. I can imagine no other reason to include it unless it is to drive up the price of the book.

Apple Technical Introduction to the Macintosh Family Date: 1987 Apple Technical Introduction to the Macintosh Family

Apple Technical Introduction to the Macintosh Family for the Apple Macintosh

With the introduction of the second generation of Apple® Macintosh® computers, the Macintosh SE and the Macintosh II, Apple has broadened the definition of the Macintosh system with two open machines. These machines add significant new capabilities to the Macintosh family, at the same time fitting well within the flexible Macintosh software architecture. This book describes that software architecture, as well as the hardware architectures of the various Macintosh machines.
About this book
Technical Introduction to the Macintosh Family introduces the hardware and software design of the Macintosh family of computers and serves as a starting point to the Macintosh technical documentation. The discussion is primarily oriented toward the Macintosh Plus, Macintosh SE, and Macintosh II computers, but it also touches on earlier versions of the Macintosh where these differ from the Macintosh Plus. The information in this book can provide a starting point for programmers, particularly those who are new to the Macintosh. This book can also serve as a stand-alone handbook for technically minded users and system administrators.
Note that this book will not tell you how to write a Macintosh application. That task is undertaken by a second short volume, Programmer's Introduction to the Macintosh Family. 

In describing the architecture of the Macintosh system, this book follows an "outside-in" plan, beginning with the parts of the system seen by the user and proceeding to the lower-level details of the Operating System and the hardware:
o Chapters 1 and 2 introduce the basic pieces of the system hardware and software.
o Chapter 3 describes the graphical, window-based interface that the Macintosh presents to the user, beginning with a discussion of how mouse and keyboard actions are interpreted.

o Chapter 4 expands upon the discussion of this interface by describing resources, specially formatted chunks of data that are used to store user interface elements such as menus, windows, and icons.
o Chapters 5 through 8 describe other elements of the Macintosh software-graphics, the Macintosh Finder and system software, the Macintosh's use of memory, and files.

o Chapter 9 finishes the discussion of the Macintosh software by describing the low-level stuff of the Macintosh Operating System: the managers and device drivers that talk directly to the computer's hardware.
o Chapter 10 describes the hardware itself, contrasting the Macintosh Plus, the Macintosh SE, and the Macintosh IL
o Chapter 11 concludes the book by outlining the A!UX® operating system, Apple's implementation of the AT&T UNIX® Operating System for the Macintosh IL
This book surveys only the surface of the Macintosh hardware and software. If this book were presented interactively, as a piece of Macintosh software, it would represent no more than the Macintosh desktop, where each item could be doubleclicked to reveal many deeper levels of information. You can find these deeper levels of information in the other volumes of the Inside Macintosh Library.

Maths and languages relation theory

"This text requires the mathematical maturity of a first year graduate student and is intended for a one or two-semester course. Useful background would be beginning courses in switching theory and sequential machines. Emphasis has been placed on concepts and ideas rather than trying to provide a definitive work, with the objective of giving the student a working knowledge of the major results and techniques of proof.

The book covers the concepts of a language, finite representations for a language, grammars including regular, context-free, LR(k), context-sensitive, and type 0, types of automata, pushdown automata, linear bounded automata, stack automata and Turing machines, properties of classes of languages, decidability results, procedures, algorithms, and computability. Among the specific topics included are the Chomsky and Greibach normal forms, self-embedding, ambiguity and inherent ambiguity in context-free languages, universal Turing machines, time and tape complexity classes, crossing sequences, Post's Correspondence Problem and the halting problem. The breadth of content makes this book unique in the field of language theory.

The Challenge of the Computer Utility Date: 1966 The Challenge of the Computer Utility

ASIN: B000O121OS

Some notes on Utility Computing by Ivan I. Ivanov:

Utility Computing is not a new concept. It involves organizing and providing a wide range of computing-related services as public utilities. Much like water, gas, electricity and telecommunications, the concept of computing as public utility was announced in 1955. Utility Computing remained a concept for near 50 years. Now some models and forms of Utility Computing are emerging such as storage and server virtualization, grid computing, and automated provisioning. Recent trends in Utility Computing as a complex technology involve business procedures that could profoundly transform the nature of companies’ IT services, organizational IT strategies and technology infrastructure, and business models. In the ultimate Utility Computing models, organizations will be able to acquire as much IT services as they need, whenever and wherever they need them. Based on networked businesses and new secure online applications, Utility Computing would facilitate “agility-integration” of IT resources and services within and between virtual companies. With the application of Utility Computing there could be concealment of the complexity of IT, reduction of operational expenses, and converting of IT costs to variable ‘on-demand’ services. How far should technology, business and society go to adopt Utility Computing forms, modes and models?

The Art of Computer Programming: Sorting and Searching. Volume 3 Date: June 1973 The Art of Computer Programming: Sorting and Searching. Volume 3

Amazon Review:
As Knuth himself says, it is impossible for any one person to keep up with all the research in computer science, but these 3 volumes do a remarkably good job of distilling the most important results and explaining them with mathematical rigor.

Each volume contains 2 chapters. Ch. 1, Basic Concepts: mathematical foundations and a description of MIX, a hypothetical machine (now available in software emulations). Ch. 2, Information Structures: lists, trees, memory allocation, garbage collection. Ch. 3, Random Numbers: how to produce series of "random" numbers and test their statistical properties. Ch. 4, Arithmetic: algorithms for integer and floating-point arithmetic. Ch. 5, Sorting: both in memory and on disks or tapes. Ch. 6, Searching: sequential, binary, hashing.

Despite the detailed coverage of the topics, which often involves esoteric mathematical notation, the author's lively style makes the algorithms and the main theoretical results relatively easy to grasp. If all you care about is getting a program to run, buy another book; but if you really want to understand how and why software works, there's nothing quite like this.

Modula-2 Discipline & Design Date: 1986 Modula-2 Discipline & Design

This book is about Modula-2, the language designed by Niklaus Wirth as a successor to Pascal. Like Pascal, Modula-2 encourages a disciplined structured approach to programming, making it an ideal teaching language. In this book, Professor Sale treats programming as a demanding intellectual activity, proceeding from the logical analysis and understanding of a problem to its disciplined fragmentation and description. By consistently taking a high-level approach and drawing on the results of modern computer science, Professor Sale highlights those features of Modula-2 that make it an excellent tool for teaching program design.

This book is intended to provide a grounding in Amstrad machine code programming. Although particular emphasis is given to the more commonly used Z80 instructions, the full instruction set is presented in an appendix, specially designed for quick reference.

The text is supplemented by numerous practical examples including several full length listings. These are laid out in standard assembly format, but a BASIC program is provided for direct loading of machine code bytes to help those readers who have not yet obtained an assembler.

Getting the Most from Your Printer Date: June 1986 Getting the Most from Your Printer

It is probably true to say that 80% of dot-matrix owners only ever use 20% of the possible features offered by their printers. This is generally due to the fact that most manuals supplied with printers are not particularly "reader friendly" and take some considerable understanding.

The purpose of this book is to help you to realise more of the capabilities of your dot-matrix printer, by showing exactly how to achieve given effects in word processing, when printing listings and from your own programs.

This book is written for the BBC Computer and Acorn Electron, Amstrad, Sinclair Spectrum and QL, Commodore 64, Memotech, MSX and Enterprise machines as well as other business machines.

Apple Interfacing Date: 1981 Apple Interfacing

Apple Interfacing for Apple II.

The purpose in writing this book is to introduce you to the signals within the Apple II computer and to show you how these signals can be used to control external devices under the control of BASIC language programs. A general-purpose computer interface breadboard has been developed to speed your circuit design and testing so that you can easily perform the many interesting experiments that are included in the book. By using a design system such as the one
described in this book, you will spend your time concentrating on the ·principles involved, rather than troubleshooting your circuits.
However, you will have the opportunity to build and test many digital circuits, as well as circuits that use digital-to-analog and analog to-digital converters.
We have chosen to use the Apple II computer with 16K of read/write memory, and the Applesoft BASIC interpreter program. This software provides a great deal of flexibility and it is worth having it available when you are using external interface circuits. The Applesoft BASIC interpreter has two general-purpose commands that can be used to transfer information to and from the computer. These instructions are easily mastered, without requiring a detailed
understanding of the 6502 microprocessor integrated circuit (IC) that is used as the "heart" of the Apple II.

This clear and comprehensive introduction to compilers and interpreters emphasises the practical side of the art. It moves gradually from the idea of a 'wedge' in the BBC computer's Operating System, to a simple interpreter, a simple graphics language, threaded interpretive languages (including FORTH) and, finally, a stand-alone compiler. Listings of the implementations are given. This book will give anyone with a good knowledge of assembly language the foundation on which to build an interpreter or compiler of their own.

Bruce Smith has written sixteen books on computing, fourteen of which have dealt with the BBC Computer range. He is currently technical editor of Acorn User magazine.

BASIC: An Introduction to Computer Programming Date: 1978 BASIC: An Introduction to Computer Programming

This book is intended for an audience with no prior programming experience. A mathematics background of elementary algebra is sufficient for most of the material. Those sections involving more advanced topics in mathematics, such as the trigonometric functions, may be omitted with no loss of continuity. During the past three years the material has been tested successfully in a one-semester course for nonscience majors. It has also been used, with equal success, in both a one-quarter course and a one-semester course for mathematics and science majors.

We wrote this book with two principal goals in mind. First, we felt it important to present the elements of BASIC so that meaningful computer programs could be written at the earliest possible time. We adhere to the notion that one learns by doing. As a result, problem solving is emphasized from the beginning, and the various aspects of the BASIC language are introduced only as needed. Our second goal was to write a book that would serve as a general introduction to computer programming, not just to a programming language. Simply describing a variety of computer applications and ways to go about writing BASIC programs for these applications does not constitute an introduction to programming. What is required is a consideration of the entire programming process. The approach we have taken toward this objective is to introduce programming principles only as they can be understood and appreciated in the context of the applications being considered. For example, a beginner can easily appreciate the necessity of choosing variable names and determining how they are related. Hence, this step is introduced very early, even though it will later be found that this is one of the last steps normally taken by a programmer. On the other hand, the value of modularization is not so easily grasped in the context of the straightforward programming problems first encountered. As natural as modularization may appear to an experienced programmer, a beginner must "see" its usefulness before being convinced of its value. Therefore, this programming principle is not introduced until much later in the book.

Throughout the text we have attempted to conform to the most common BASIC usage. BASIC is not a static language. It seems that each new BASIC implementation contains what the designers consider to be "improvements." Although the many forms that BASIC assumes on different systems may please Proteus, they do nothing for the poor programmer. To help resolve this dilemma, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) prepared a document, dated December 1, 1976, entitled "Proposed American National Standard for Minimal BASIC." In all but two instances, which are clearly identified, our presentation of minimal BASIC conforms to the ANSI standard.

The Algorithm Writer's Guide Date: 1972 The Algorithm Writer's Guide

This book on algorithms was published in 1972.  It provides insight into the use of algorithms in the early 1970s computer market, when computers were still largely scientific devices used only by experts, but were also just beginning to be used as everyday work devices.

From the preface:

'Until now, writings on algorithms have been either for the specialist, who wants to know the latest research, or for the beginner, who needs to understand how algorithms work and what use they can be to him.

This book fills the gap.  Its subject is how to write algorithms.  It ranges widely over many forms and techniques, always with the aim in mind of providing the designer of algorithms with the knowledge he needs.

It is illustrated with many examples, very few of which have ever been used before in any publication on algorithms.  Several of the methods discussed have been developed recently in the course of consultancy work and are published here for the first time.'

Macro Processors Date: 1976 Macro Processors

Cambridge Computer Science Texts - 4

Processing non-numerical information is a highly important aspect of computer science. Macro processors, several of which have been developed over the past ten or fifteen years, convert text from one form to another. Used simply a macro processor can act as a text editor, while in a more complex application it can even be regarded as an alternative to a compiler.

This book discusses the purpose of various available macro processors, and concentrates on their internal structure rather than detailed instructions for their use. Descriptions are given of various types of macro processors and their application to processing assembly language and text strings, to a mobile programming system, to compiler bootstrapping and to extensible compilers. Illustrative statements in many well-known macro-languages abound throughout the book and most chapters end with examples.

Illustrating Super-BASIC on the Sinclair QL Date: 1985 Illustrating Super-BASIC on the Sinclair QL


Review:
Although describing a particular computer language (Super-BASIC) on a particular computer (the Sinclair QL) this book is more than a language manual. It assumes no prior knowledge of other languages but introduces, by example, the concept of a stored program and its execution. It builds on the introductory example by bringing in more and more facilities of the language, illustrating each with a non-trivial example. In addition to clarifying aspects of the language these examples explain and illustrate some fundamental programming techniques such as graphics, state tables, list processing, several methods of sorting, and reverse Polish notation. Recursion, structured programming and a tidy style are emphasized throughout. Like the author's previous works on programming this book is lettered entirely by hand, being full of illustrations and diagrams. The English is always simple, always clear.

Astronomy with your Personal Computer Date: 1988 Astronomy with your Personal Computer

This is a book for the amateur astronomer who wishes to carry out astronomical calculations using a personal computer with the minimum of fuss. It is not specific to any make of machine, neither are the programmes confined to specific calculations, Rather, it presents a collection of twenty-six subroutines, written in a portable version of BASIC, which can be mixed and matched according to personal requirements. Furthermore, the user need only have a broad understanding of the problem; the subroutines themselves take care of the details. For example, the routines can be used to calculate the time of rising of any of the planets in any part of the world at any time in the future or past; or they may be used to find the circumstances of the next solar eclipse visible from a particular place. Almost every problem likely to be encountered by the amateur astronomer can be solved by a suitable combination of the routines given here.

Micro-Prolog & Artificial Intelligence Date: 1985 Micro-Prolog & Artificial Intelligence

MicroPROLOG is a dialect of the list-processing language, PROLOG, which has been adapted specially for microcomputers. PROLOG, known as one of the best languages for experimenting with artificial intelligence, has a rather 'human' approach to problem-solving. It can hold a set of rules in a 'knowledge base', and answer general questions using them. This allows such subjects as logic and language to be analysed by defining  the basic attributes and then querying those attributes, very much as we do with the knowledge base held in our own brains. Expert systems are a direct example of this type of reasoning, and this is explained in the book.

This book tackles the usually difficult task of explaining MicroPROLOG simply and concisely, and introduces the language in company with its main application - artificial intelligence. It is based heavily on examples, and has been prepared with reference to MicroPROLOG packages on the IBM (and look-alikes), Acorn, Sinclair and other machines.

Advanced Amstrad CPC6128 Computing Date: 28th March 1987 Advanced Amstrad CPC6128 Computing

Including CP/M, Printers and Business Applications


The Amstrad CPC6128 is equipped with ample memory, a built-in disc drive, and the latest version of the well-established CP/M operating system, all at a very competitive price. The serious user, particularly the business user, needs to know how to master the disc system and to make use of this machine with the many excellent printers that can be used with it.

The principles of CP/M, and how to use the available facilities are set out, including how to connect a second disc drive and make effective use of it.

The more advanced programmer will find details of the more advanced methods of BASIC and AMSDOS, covering such items as opening and closing disc files, file maintenance, creating, searching, sorting, amending and deleting files and making use of the additional memory for filing. An outline database program in BASIC is listed, allowing you to make your own personal database system. The graphics capabilities of the CPC6128 are covered in detail, including the CPC6128's new graphics commands, and using the additional memory for graphics. Useful information, which is difficult to find elsewhere, is provided on the sound system, such as setting up hardware envelopes and software relative envelopes.

PREFACE

This book has been produced primarily for people who enjoy games but would like to have the 'pleasure' of typing them in themselves. In this way it is possible to build up a good collection of programs for very little outlay. Entering programs from listings is also the best way to learn the syntax of BASIC and to see how various results can be obtained. Later as you develop your programming skills you will be able to adapt the programs to suit your own preferences. Finally it is hoped that you will be suitably inspired and experienced to be abk to write your own programs from scratch. Although this book can be a useful aid to learning it is not designed as a tutorial. If I had taken pages to tell you why and how each element of a program functioned then there would probably only be half as many listings! My aim and the aim of our merry band of programmers has been to ensure that each program is well worth the effort of typing in. In our efforts to ensure that the finished games are satisfactory machine code routines have been incorporated. The code is POKED into the memory from data and it will not be necessary to know about the wild code.

It is important to realise however that CBM BASIC, even with a little help from machine code, cannot equal a fully coded program. The compromise which has been adopted in this book is as far as it is possible to go without making each one totally machine code. In the final analysis however it is whether the game is 'playable' that matters and I hope you will agree that each game in this ollection is enjoyable and playable.

This book represents a great deal of hard work and long hours from a team of people. I am pleased to be able to record my appreciation to the following Mr Micro programmers: Issi, Greg, Bootsy, David and Evan who each contributed a great deal to the project. I am also grateful to our friends at Commodore for the loan of equipment and for their valuable technical assistance. The other important person to have worked on the book is my wife Val who took my handwritten input and produced the finished word processed output.

Finally I am grateful to Richard Miles of Collins who commissioned this book and who ensured that despite the many possible pitfalls of publishing it has reached you, the C 16 owner, for whom the entire exercise was undertaken.

User's Guide Workbench 3.0 Date: 1992 User's Guide Workbench 3.0

Commodore named their Amiga computer's first operating system Workbench 1.0 and continued with the Workbench name until version 3.1, when it was changed to AmigaOS, prompted by Apple renaming their propriety OS from "System" to "MacOS". Subsequently the Amiga computer used the name Workbench to refer only to the native graphical interface file manager and application launcher of the Amiga's operating system typically presented to users upon booting the Amiga. In that regard the Workbench GUI component was not required to boot the Amiga or run other applications, but was a standalone application listed in the startup-sequence script.

The Amiga Workbench used the metaphor of a workbench rather than the now standard desktop for exposing file management and application launching functionality. The Workbench application appeared similar to other consumer Operating Systems of the era by utilizing a trash can, menu bar, and icons to represent files, folder and volumes (filesystem devices). The underlying AmigaOS was much more advanced allowing the Workbench to launch multiple applications that could execute at the same time and communicate with each other. The Amiga used a two button mouse for left click and right menu.

If you have just upgraded a Level I TRS-80 to Level II and you learned about Level I from the Level I users' manual and thought it excellent, this book is for you. David Lien is the author of the Level I manual, which Tandy supply with the TRS-80 model I systems, and Learning Level II continues in the same style. ...The main part of the text is a well-thought-out introduction to the new features of Level II Basic, with plenty of description and examples. In addition to the description of Basic commands and statements, there is plenty of practical detail, covering the expansion interface, dual cassette systems, conversion of programs and data tapes from Level I to Level II, and various dire warnings about system design faults."

'For the average PET user the prospect of writing a set of programs to perform, say, a business application is daunting.  Many don't even try, preferring to employ someone to do the job or buy an off-the-shelf package...These problems are purely a mental block, since any person of average intelligence can write and design such a program.  Given a logical framework on which to build, plus a few aids in the form of standard subroutines, the process of writing an applications program becomes considerably easier.'

Mapping the Atari

INTRODUCTION by Bill Wilkinson

When I was asked by the editors at COMPUTE! to write this introduction, I was at first a little hesitant. How does one introduce what is essentially a map of the significant locations on the Atari other than by saying "This is a map of..."?

And, yet, there is something about this book which makes it more than "simply a map." After all, if this were "simply" a memory map, I might "simply" use it to learn that "SSKCTL" is the "serial port control" and that it is at location $232. But what does that mean? Why would I want to control the serial port? How would I control it?

The value of this book, then, lies not so much in the map itself as it does in the explanations of the various functions and controls and the implications thereof. Even though I consider myself reasonably
familiar with the Atari (and its ROM-based operating system), I expect to use this book often.

Until now, if I needed to use an exotic location somewhere in the hardware registers, I would have to first locate the proper listing, then find the right routine within the listing, figure out why and how the routine was accessing the given register, and finally try to make sure that there were no other routines that also accessed this same register.

Whew! Now, I will open this book, turn to the right page, find out what I need to know, and start programming.

Okay. So much for this introduction. And if you are comfortable programming your "home" language, the language you know best, and two or three other languages, you don't need any more from me.
So good luck and bon voyage.

First Steps in Machine Code on your C64 Date: 1984 First Steps in Machine Code on your C64

If you've mastered BASIC programming on your Commodore 64 and are ready to move on to bigger and better things, then this book will show you the way. Ross Symons first introduces you to the disassembler and explains its use. After making this acquaintance, the complete instruction set for the 6510 (the chip at the heart of your computer) is listed. Each instruction is explained with the aid of a demonstration program which will help even the newcomer to machine code to get to grips with the C64 and extract the most from this powerful micro. Other sections include a discussion of the KERNAL operating system, and its applications such as printing, input/ output devices, and scanning the keyboard, are also considered.

Blurb: In 1991, a company formerly devoted to manufacturing playing-cards outstripped the earnings of the massive Sony Corporation by $400 million. In 1992, this same company made more profit than any American film studio - $1.5 million per employee. Its name? Nintendo.

David Sheff takes an insider's look at the history of this extraordinary company, tracing its development into a global empire. Through Japan's most famous export, Mario, he reveals the secrets of its scorched-earth policy towards its competitors, and predicts the future for Nintendo in the developing world of multimedia.

Written when the first personal computers were just being designed, this book is an excited look into the future. Dr Chris Evans, a psychologist and computer scientist, predicts that by 2001 it will be possible to store an entire library in the space occupied by just one of today's books; computer technology will shake political systems to their foundations; and that we will all have a 20-hour working week and retire at fifty.

Literate Programming Date: 1992 Literate Programming

Literate programming is a methodology that combines a programming language with a documentation language, thereby making programs more robust, more portable, more easily maintained, and arguably more fun to write than programs that are written only in a high-level language. The main idea is to treat a program as a piece of literature, addressed to human beings rather than to a computer. The program is also viewed as a hypertext document, rather like the World Wide Web. (Indeed, I used the word WEB for this purpose long before CERN grabbed it!) This book is an anthology of essays including my early papers on related topics such as structured programming, as well as the article in The Computer Journal that launched Literate Programming itself. The articles have been revised, extended, and brought up to date.

Table of Contents:

   1. Computer programming as an art [P68]
   2. Structured programming with go to statements [P67]
   3. A structured program to generate all topological sorting arrangements [P65]
   4. Literate programming [P109]
   5. Programming pearls: Sampling [Q78]
   6. Programming pearls, continued: Common words [Q79]
   7. How to read a WEB [from TeX: The Program]
   8. Excerpts from the programs for TeX and METAFONT [from Computers & Typesetting, volumes B and D]
   9. Mathematical writing [from Mathematical Writing]
  10. The errors of TeX [P124]
  11. The error log of TeX [P124, with new material]
  12. An example of CWEB [never before published]
  13. Further reading: A comprehensive bibliography of Literate Programming [never before published]

Z88 Computing Date: 1988 Z88 Computing

This book is for owners and would-be purchasers of the Z88 who are not computer literate but who want to be able to use it quickly and effectively.

Since the machine has no facility for using external disk software, it comes with its own built in wordprocessor, spreadsheet, database, diary and calculator.

The Author concentrates on how to make the best use of the built-in software and explains in simple terms how to down-load files to another computer or printer, and how to load files into the Z88 from another computer.

The Z88 portable computer has been aimed at a market entirely separate from that assumed for earlier machines in its lineage. It is the first truly cheap portable laptop computer, and the first computer to dispense with disk drives in favour of memory.

MPW Command Reference - Apple Macintosh Programmer's Workshop Date: 1993 MPW Command Reference - Apple Macintosh Programmer's Workshop

MPW Command Reference for Apple Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW) Version 303 Ref: 030-4058-A.


Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW) was a software development environment for the Classic Mac OS operating system and was an important tool for developing applications for System 7.x and Mac OS 8.x and 9.x. It was  part of Apple's professional developers program, but became a free download after it was superseded by CodeWarrior. On Mac OS X it was replaced by the Project Builder IDE (Integrated Development Environment, which eventually became Xcode.

MPW provided a command line environment and tools, including 68k and PowerPC  assemblers,  Pascal,  C  and  C++  compilers. The  Unix like shell was designed around the Macintosh's character set and GUI, using  a worksheet interface, rather than the usual terminal one, allowing the user to select and run sections of a shell script or to redo commands. In addition, command line tools were provided with a graphical interface named Commando. The debuggers were not integrated but the language compilers supported the symbolic debugging information file format and a source-level debugger called SADE (Symbolic Application Debugging Environment) which was not an MPW Tool but had a user interface similar to MPW. Apple's compilers had some features that were not common on other platforms—for example, the Pascal compiler was object-oriented, while the C and C++ compilers included support for length-prefixed strings (needed for Pascal-oriented APIs).

As Pascal was the original preferred language for Macintosh software development, MPW was initially released with only Pascal support. A C compiler was released with MPW 2.0. The MPW C compiler was written under contract for Apple by Greenhills, a Macintosh-variant of the Green Hills C compiler designed specially for Apple and similar to that of Apple Lisa Workshop.

MPW Command Reference is a command dictionary that describes each of the scripts, tools, and built-in commands available for use with the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW), as described above. Following the command dictionary are appendixes describing the special characters and operators.

Sections of the Reference

For each entry, the reference begins with a heading line that includes the command name and a label indicating whether the command is a script, tool, or built-in command.

For each command, the reference provides the following information:

 Syntax -- a concise listing of the syntax for invoking the command

 Description -- an explanation of the command's function

 Input -- information on the command's input

 Output -- information on the command's output

 Status -- a list of possible status codes and their meanings

 Parameters -- a description of each of the command's parameters

 Options -- a description of each of the command's options

For some commands, the reference also includes these sections:

 Alias Resolution -- information about the command's ability to resolve Finder aliases

 Examples -- examples of how to use the command

 Limitations -- a list of limitations, special cases, or warnings

 See Also -- references to related commands or information

Quotation from David Griffiths:
"I believe we had the first PDP11 in Central Africa (Zambia to be exact) where it formed part of a remote control system by Brown Boveri, one of the forerunners of ABB.  In 1975 I spent 6 weeks in Switzerland on a training course on the hardware and software (the location in Zambia being too remote to rely on outside help in emergency).  The system entered full service in 1976."

Amazon Review:
 Writing Real Programs in DCL, Second Edition is a revised edition of VAX/VMS: Writing Real Programs in DCL, written by Paul Anagnostopoulos in 1989. The book is intended for OpenVMS users already familiar with the operating system who wish to learn the DCL (short for "Digital Command Language") well enough to write scripts, ranging from basic file system commands up to and including scripts intended to be executed under VMS as part of CGI.

DCL is the interactive command interpreter that users encounter on a VMS system, and can also execute scripts. DCL's position in the architecture of VMS is equivalent to that of the Bourne shell in the UNIX system.

Classic computer books written in classic style to high standards about classic procedural languages look and feel similar; that is, they look dignified. This is a dignified book, a revision of a classic that stood almost a decade and has had time to mature in the keg.

Writing Real Programs in DCL takes you in an orderly progression from the elements of DCL to sophisticated scripting for CGI. The style is well-balanced between the needs of the average user and the needs of the programming sophisticate. The presentation is lucid, knowledgeable, and accurate. The transitions between each unit of knowledge are logical and the domain of discourse is well-defined. There is a steady induction of general VMS knowledge into the discussion. The overall range of problems which might reasonably be solved using DCL is explored thoroughly and in case detail. --Jack Woehr, Dr. Dobb's Journal -- Dr. Dobb's Journal

dP Series in Games Number 1

Reviewed in Practical Computing, October 1979 which concluded by saying "If you have an IBM 370 and two light years to spare you might choose this - pointed ears would help. Otherwise, it's only an intellectual exercise."

This is a game book and much, much more. If your primary interest is playing the game, you can skip the first two chapters of the book. Chapters three and four will help you get the program up and running on your machine. But you should read the first two chapters also. Simulation is probably one of the most fascinating areas of computer science, and it can be done on a small computer. The author describes the methods used in designing and implementing a software simulation. By doing this simulation you will become familiar with the techniques by which any large programming task may be implemented.

The First Book of Ohio Scientific Vol. 1 Date: 1980 The First Book of Ohio Scientific Vol. 1

Reviewed in December 1980 edition of Practical Computing:

"Ohio Scientific is a company dedicated to making and selling microcomputer systems. Its Challenger and Superboard ranges of machines are well known in this country and are sold widely. Unfortunately, there has been a shortage of technical documentation readily available for Ohio Scientific hardware and software - that is the gap which Elcomp is attempting to fill.

The book is bursting with information. Articles have been collected from many sources, arranged into some semblance of order, and published. The whole collection exudes enthusiasm, energy and haste.

The level of information presented ranges from manufacturers' to detailed explanations of debugging; from starting Basic, to machine-code monitor routine listings; from building an RS232 interface for the Challenger C-1P, to a program to circumvent the garbage collection problem in computers with Ohio Scientific Basic in ROM.

Only you can tell if it is the book you need, and only then, by looking at the contents list to see if the information you want is there. My guess, however, is that owners of Challenger or Superboard systems will feel much happier with the book on their shelf where they can refer to it if they want it in a hurry.

Elcomp has already announced two further volumes of the series, and more are planned. Volume two covers the Ohio Scientific-65D disc-operating system Version 2.0, the OS-65U operating system and editor, the Ohio Scientific WP-2 word processor and much more. Volume three is intended for hardware buffs who want expansion and interface details for their systems."

KDF9 ALGOL Programming (1000166) Date: 1963 KDF9 ALGOL Programming (1000166)

 

KDF9 was an early British computer designed and built by English Electric, later English Electric Leo Marconi, EELM, later still incorporated into ICL. It first came into service in 1964 and was still in use in 1980 in at least one installation.

Author's Introduction
ALGOL 60 is a programming language for describing numerical processes and has the unique advantage of international recognition as a common language. ALGOL »s inherent merits are the bases of its widening acceptance for both scientific and engineering applications. The power of its statements often surprises newcomers. Its conciseness avoids much of the tedium in other forms of programming, simplifies the programming of complex problems 9 and makes it an acceptable medium for solving the occasional problem. The use of conventional symbols of mathematics and the borrowing of ordinary English words to form ALGOL symbols helps to make an ALGOL program easy to read and understand. The ALGOL identifiers are much more easily recognised and distinguished by the human eye than the numerical storage representation of computer codes. These advantages » by making programming easier, also enable a program to be written in a shorter time and result in fewer mistakes.

Of particular value are the ALGOL programs and. procedures published throughout the world, which are immediately available to the user of the language. By their means he has access to the work of recognised experts in the field of numerical analysis and to a wider variety of computer programs and techniques than can be obtained by using one machine code only.

Z88 Real Power Computing Date: 1989 Z88 Real Power Computing

Note from the Author:

I spent about twenty years in sales and marketing, before becoming 'retired' in 1997, at the age of 39 after a company take over. Since when I have been travelling and cobbling my own notes on the Z88 into this book. Several years of my career were spent fighting for British exports, in the front line, notably seven years in Australia where I managed a British subsidiary, and, additionally founded, edited and published a semi-technical periodical over a period of several years, before returning to England for domestic reasons.

During 'time' in Australia I developed an general interest in computers, mainly through my contacts with my good friend Stuart Smith, who worked with a mainframe computer. In those days computers were very expensive and relied a lot on data input through punched cards (a throwback to nineteenth century technology). Since those days things in the computer world have changed a lot, and not the least of these changes, in my opinion, is the introduction of the Z88 computer, which offers real computing power commensurate with the real needs of 'personal' computing, within optimum parameters of weight, size, endurance and ease of use. I hope you find my notes and methods contained in this book of use in the guidance and inspiration of your own applications.

GEM on the Atari ST Date: 1986 GEM on the Atari ST

Digital Research (DRI) created the Graphical Environment Manager as an add-on program for personal computers. GEM was developed to work with existing CP/M and MS-DOS operating systems on business computers such as IBM-compatibles. It was developed from DRI software, known as GSX, designed by a former PARC employee. The similarity to the Macintosh desktop led to a copyright lawsuit from Apple Computer, and a settlement which involved some changes to GEM. This was to be the first of a series of 'look and feel' lawsuits related to GUI design in the 1980s.

GEM received widespread use in the consumer market from 1985, when it was made the default user interface built in to the TOS operating system of the Atari ST line of personal computers. It was also bundled by other computer manufacturers and distributors, such as Amstrad. Later, it was distributed with the best-sold Digital Research version of DOS for IBM PC compatibles, the DR-DOS 6.0. The GEM desktop faded from the market with the withdrawal of the Atari ST line in 1992 and with the popularity of the Microsoft Windows 3.0 in the PC front by the same years.

The Anatomy of a Commodore 64 Date: 1983 The Anatomy of a Commodore 64

Preface:
The Commodore 64 is a super machine. That became clear to us after working with the machine for only a short time. But even with the best computer, you can't do much if you don't know much about its functioning and handling.
The only area which disappointed us about the Commodore 64 was the documentation. The user's guide was a good starting point, but lacked the detail which we sought. Further literature was not available. Therefore we decided to write the book ourselves.
The result is in front of you. It does not claim to be complete, nor to have literary qualities, but this book contains the results of months of long and intensive work. We hope that it will help you to take advantage of the superb qualities of the COMMODORE 64.

This book tells the story of the Oliver Twins.  The brothers rose to prominence as game developers in the 1980s, when they were still teenagers.  They are a prime example of the 'bedroom coder' phenomenon prevalent at the time: children and young adults teaching themselves to code (and often creating commercial products) at home using simple everyday computers.

The Oliver Twins are best known for games featuring Dizzy, an adventurous egg, who lends his name to this book.  The book was crowdfunded via Kickstarter and written by Chris Wilkins and Roger M. Kean.  The launch party was held at the Centre for Computing History on 24 October 2015 and the book was published in 2016.

The Macintosh Bible Guide to Saving Thousands on Mac Repairs : How to Fix Hundreds of Hardware Problems Without Going Bankrupt

The Dead Mac Scrolls is a 484 page do-it-yourself guide to repairing Apple Macintosh personal computer hardware problems in the most cost-effective way. Written by Larry Pina, the book was amongst other titles written by Pina for repairing Macintoshes. The book  was first published in 1992, and is now out of print.

Introduction by Larry Pina
This book is like a family medical guide, except that it covers the Macintosh family of computer equipment. Reading it won't grant you a doctor's degree, but it will enable you to recognize common symptoms and correctly diagnose hardware problems.
The purpose of this book is to save you money. By looking up symptoms before you call for service, you can get a good idea of what's wrong and how much repairs should cost.
Every page describes a unique symptom, with text and illustrations (if you can't find the symptom you're looking for, check the Symptom index at the back of the book). Then there's a diagnosis of the problem (generally to the component level) and a suggested solution . Finally, each page provides three different cost estimates for effecting repairs.

The Macintosh Bible 'What Do I Do Now Book'? Second Edition Date: 1991 The Macintosh Bible 'What Do I Do Now Book'? Second Edition

The Macintosh Bible 'What Do I Do Now Book'? Second Edition for Apple Macintosh. "what to do instead of panicking" 

From the preface of the 3rd Edition:

This book attacks Macintosh trouble from three directions: basic knowledge, conceptual problems, and operating problems. The first part, basic knowledge, covers the fundamentals of Mac hardware and system software, explains the types of things that can go wrong, shows how to avoid some common problems, and offers general advice about how to troubleshoot and solve problems on your own. If you read Part 1 (chapters 1-7) from start to finish, you will know more about the Macintosh than half the people now using them, and you will be that much better prepared to rescue yourself from problem purgatory.

Parts 2, 3, and 4 cover conceptual problems and operating problems that occur as you use the Mac. By conceptual problems, I mean problems that arise from misunderstandings about what's going on. In the majority of problem situations, the computer and software are functioning perfectly — it's the user's level of understanding that needs repairs.

Part 1 builds a foundation of understanding, a barrier between you and problems that arise out of ignorance; the conceptual problems and solutions in the other three parts deal with specific problems.

Parts 2, 3, and 4 cover the most common operating problems — actual hardware and software malfunctions — as well. Part 2 (chapters 8-17) is devoted to general problems with Macintosh system software. It's organized in functional areas having to do with different types of Mac operations. Most of the problems you'll have with a Mac are software-related, even if they don't appear to be, so check this section first for specific problems you have with your Mac. For example, a display problem with your monitor may be due to an improper software setting. Problems like this are covered in Chapter 13.

Part 3 (chapters 18-21) covers hardware problems that are unique to specific Macintosh computers, monitors, and printers. These problems are far less likely, but if you've tried software solutions to no avail, then this is where you should look next. Part 4 (chapters 22-28) deals with problems you may run into while using seven of the best-selling Macintosh application programs. Most Mac owners use at least one of these programs. Space prohibits me from covering more than a dozen or two problems for each program, but I've tried to highlight the ones that seem to give most people trouble.

The BBC Microcomputer is one of the best micros on the market and arguable the most worthwhile investment for ambitious beginners. It is also particularly suitable for family use because very many children already have access to a BBC Microcomputer at school, where it is one of the most popular machines.

The machine, however, is complex. It presents and impressive array of facilities, yet the same sophistication that appeals to experts can also appear daunting to beginners. The large size of the manual can also make it difficult for beginners to master the essentials quickly.

This book starts at the very beginning with setting up the machine. It guides the reader, step-by-step, through the difficult early stages until he is able to write his own programs with confidence, achieve his own special effects, and is all set to exploit the full potential of this superb micro.

ABSTRACT
From the Publisher:

In the fall of 1930, David Packard left his hometown of Pueblo, Colorado, to enroll at Stanford University. There, he befriended another freshman, Bill Hewlett. After graduation from college, Hewlett and Packard decided to throw their lots in together. They tossed a coin to decide whose name should go first on the notice of incorporation, then cast about in search of products to sell. Today, the one-car garage in Palo Alto that housed their first workshop is a California historic landmark: the birthplace of Silicon Valley. And Hewlett-Packard has produced thousands of innovative products for millions of customers throughout the world. Their little company employs 98,400 people and boasts constantly increasing sales that reached $25 billion in 1994. While there are many successful companies, there is only one Hewlett-Packard. Because from the very beginning, Bill and Dave had a way of doing things that was contrary to the prevailing management strategies. In defining the objectives for their company, Packard and Hewlett wanted more than profits, revenue growth, and a constant stream of new, happy customers.

Inside Intel Date: 1998 Inside Intel

Amazon.co.uk Review
If you're sick of the upbeat tone of many computer industry sagas, you'll definitely enjoy Inside Intel, Tim Jackson's investigation into the secrets of Intel's success. Instead of the usual cast of blue-eyed whiz-kid billionaires, you'll find a darker story of brilliant technical coups tempered by serious blunders and savage competition. Naturally, technical innovation lies at the heart of the story, but Intel didn't always get it right--and sometimes teetered close to ruin. Success didn't come because the company never made mistakes, but because it could fight back savagely when it did. That the fight wasn't always clean, nor the personalities involved particularly pleasant, makes for a fascinating story.

Peter Bird joined Lyons when, as he says, ‘the pioneering years of computing were no more than folk history.’ Nonetheless, through his ‘talking with old-timers’ and delving through the Lyons archives, he has made an important contribution to the LEO Computers story. 

Of particular value are the appendices which, inter alia, give details of the instruction codes, speeds, capacities and deliveries of the different models.

ISBN-13: 978-0952165101 

Product Dimensions: 9.2 x 6.4 x 1.2 inches
Shipping Weight: 1.4 pounds

The first book to tell the story of J. Lyons' pioneering work in moving computers out of the laboratory and into the office. This illustrated history gives the background of how the company was founded as well as details of the development of Leos I, II & III, with many technical appendices giving various features of the machines.

The British LEO I (Lyons Electronic Office I) was the first computer used for commercial business applications. Designed by Oliver Standingford and Raymond Thompson of J. Lyons and Co., and modelled closely on the Cambridge EDSAC, LEO I ran its first business application in 1951. In 1954 Lyons formed LEO Computers Ltd to market LEO I and its successors LEO II and LEO III to other companies. LEO Computers eventually became part of English Electric Company (EELM) and then International Computers Limited (ICL). LEO series computers were still in use until 1981.
Brief biographical sketches of a number of Lyons and LEO people can be found in LEO, the First Business Computer; P. Bird, Hasler Publishing, 1994, pages 200-212.
The following people – in alphabetical order - are noted:
Tony Barnes, Daniel Broido, David Caminer, Mary Coombs, Leo Fantl, Isidore Gluckstein, Montague Gluckstein, Samuel Gluckstein, John Gosden, John Grover, Derek Hemy, Ernest Kaye, Frank Land, Ernest Lenaerts, Joseph Lyons, John Pinkerton, Anthony Salmon, Ray Shaw, John Simmons, Oliver Standingford, Thomas Raymond Thompson, David Wheeler, Maurice Wilkes, Peter Wood.
 
This book is in pristine condition and is signed inside by Peter J Bird and states "To Tony Priest with very best wishes".
 
Tony Priest worked on the Leo for many years and kindly donated this book.

Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets Date: April 1990 Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets

Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets for Apple Macintosh.
First Edition
Preface from Larry Pina

Every month, at various user group meetings, I listen to people with Macintosh hardware failures. Their story is always the same. They've been told that the Macintosh can't be repaired. New circuit boards cost hundreds of dollars! Some people are on their third or fourth boards. Well, the fact of the matter is that the Macintosh can be repaired—very easily. This book shows you how.
Beginning with the Macintosh power supply, I show you how to make repairs at the component level. No special technical skills are required, only the ability to read and follow directions. Even if you've never held a soldering gun before, this information could save you hundreds of dollars. But the manufacturer doesn't sell replacement parts—so there's no way Macintosh computers can be repaired!
Unlike the proprietary ROM chips on the logic board, there's nothing special about the resistors, filter caps, and rectifiers on the power-supply board. Some parts are readily available from Radio Shack. Others have to be mail ordered. Replacement parts are no problem, as long as you know which parts to ask for and where to send for them. Throughout this book, that's exactly what you'll learn. The symptoms listed in these chapters are real. The fixes are real. The
methods presented here were perfected long ago. They work for me; they work for others; they're going to work equally well for you.

Cobol for Beginners (Computer Studies Series) Date: 1972 Cobol for Beginners (Computer Studies Series)

COBOL is one of the oldest programming languages. Its name is an acronym for Common Business-Oriented Language, defining its primary domain in business, finance, and administrative systems for companies and governments.

The COBOL specification was created by a committee of researchers from private industry, universities, and government during the second half of 1959. The specifications were to a great extent inspired by the FLOW-MATIC language invented by Grace Hopper - commonly referred to as "the mother of the COBOL language." The IBM COMTRAN language invented by Bob Bemer was also drawn upon, but the FACT language specification from Honeywell was not distributed to committee members until late in the process and had relatively little impact. FLOW-MATIC's status as the only language of the bunch to have actually been implemented made it particularly attractive to the committee.

Preface for Second Edition:

Programming is detailed, exacting, and thought provoking. Do not expect to become an expert overnight. Some advertisements may lead you to believe that there is nothing to it. This is simply not true. Programming takes effort that many people are not willing or able to expend. Furthermore, because a program written for one brand of computer will probably not run on a different brand of computer you must not only understand the programming language, but the design of the computer as well. You see, many programming language details and functions are applicable only to a
specific brand of computer. In programming, every character, item, formula, punctuation, and format means something specific to the computer. Exact steps must be programmed for each action the computer takes. Any step not correctly programmed, or improperly placed within the program, will cause the program to fail. This failure may be partial or total, but the program will not produce the desired results. Rote memorization will aid in programming, but comprehensive understanding of how the rules interact and relate will produce more efficient programs.
Programming is the truest form of building on a foundation. A solid foundation must be in place to begin the building process. The computer is an inanimate object that is designed according to a set of specifications.
The machine does not know anything, nor does it assume anything. The computer does exactly what it is told to do. The programmer must understand machine capabilities and apply proper programming rules to produce correct results.
The lessons in this book are designed to present programming rules in a logical, detailed, progressive method from a beginners level to an advanced level. The lessons attempt to always establish a reference point. If you have trouble with programming errors, you can always return to the last reference point to attempt to understand the correct procedure.

This promotional book, produced by IBM in 1974, introduces the subject of computing for beginners.

From the preface:

'In this little book, we try to remove some of the noise that may block understanding of the digital computer and its use.  The computer is based on simple concepts, so we have tried to talk about it simply.  We briefly describe how electronic digital computers work, where they come from, and what they are good for.  If we have succeeded in any small degree to clear a path to understanding the computer, we will have made at least part of today a little less confusing and at least part of tomorrow a little easier to see.'

'This is the first of a four-part series of lectures devoted to the stored-program or general-purpose digital computer.  The topic is one of several presented jointly by the Science Museum and Industry, and directed primarily at sixth-formers. 

The series is not concerned either with historical development or with social implications of the computer.  Rather it is dedicated to a better understanding of the contemporary computer, its potentialities and limitations, through knowledge of what it does and how it does this.  The lid is taken off the 'black box', not just the electronics, but the whole computer system comprising hardware, software, programs, and the user himself (the 'liveware'?).  No prior acquaintance with computers is assumed.'

Mac World Complete Mac Handbook Plus CD 2nd Edition Date: 1993 Mac World Complete Mac Handbook Plus CD 2nd Edition

Mac World Complete Mac Handbook Plus CD 2nd Edition for Apple Macintosh

Jim Heid's Introduction

These days, it’s common for a computer book to include a floppy disk or two with some software. Welcome to the first Macintosh book that includes 235 floppy disks. That’s roughly the equivalent capacity of the Macworld Complete Mac CD tucked into the back cover of this second edition of the Macworld Complete Mac Handbook. What better way to illustrate the diversity of the Macintosh world and the wide range of tasks that a Mac can perform? The Macworld Complete Mac CD gives you the Macintosh world on a silver platter.

So much has happened since the first edition’s release in 1991. The PowerBook, Performa, Centris, and Quadra families were introduced, and the Mac family tree has reached sequoia-size proportions. The Mac line used to be simple and expensive; now it’s complicated and inexpensive. System 7 — the fundamental software that enables the Mac to run — has become the dominant system software in the Mac world. Digital video is pervasive — like it or not, television and personal computers are on a collision course. And Macs have begun to sport the kinds of features that many people always dreamed or dreaded computers would have: the ability to act on spoken commands.

Bigger and Better This second edition covers these new developments and provides greatly expanded coverage of mainstream application areas — word processing, spreadsheet analysis, database management, graphics, communications, and electronic publishing. The chapters in this book are loosely based on the monthly columns, features, and reviews that I’ve been writing for Macworld since 1984. But these aren’t just reprints — far from it. Every chapter contains new sections, illustrations, tables, product listings, and sidebars containing additional background, tips, step-by-step instructions, and insights.

Mac World Macintosh Secrets Date: 1993 Mac World Macintosh Secrets

Mac World Macintosh Secrets for Apple Macintosh

The biggest secret to getting the most out of this book is understanding its structure. Each topic is divided into two halves. The first part is a general discussion, like a miniarticle. It’s followed by the Secrets: thousands of excellent, undocumented, often never-before-published hints and tips for pushing your Mac to its max.

Part by Part Here’s how the primary book sections are broken down: Part I: System Software Revealed unearths insider information about the free software you got with your Mac — namely, the System software that fills that mound of white System disks (and 4MB of your hard disk). But we won’t mention only the Finder (and aliases and labels and Trash and the Desktop file), but also the important Installer, your control panels, and your Apple menu. And, best of all, this part identifies all the System-folder clutter you can throw out. Part II: Secrets of the Machine takes you into the actual mechanics of the Mac. You won’t go so far in that you’ll need a degree in electrical engineering; you’ll just learn enough of the inner workings to be useful. This part, for example, actually gives a decent explanation of how to use virtual memory. It includes a Disk Chapter, a Memory Chapter, and special coverage of the PowerBook laptops. Chapter 9 even contains detailed Mac-by-Mac model descriptions so that you’ll know what you bought, how it can be upgraded, and how much technology has marched on since you bought your machine. Part III: Application Tips covers the programs you probably use in day-to-day work: major players like Word, Excel, and FileMaker, as well as software like ResEdit that can help make the Mac more yours. This part is a whole book-within-a-book, with enough expert insight to make you say “Wow” at least once on every page. 4 Macworld Macintosh SECRETS Part IV: Attachments is about everything you attach to your computer — printers (and, therefore, fonts), modems (and what to dial up with them), scanners, CD-ROM players, NuBus cards, and networks (includ- ing remote networks and using AppleTalk Remote Access). At the end of this part is a troubleshooting chapter that, among other things, contains our Rule of Three: a troubleshooting trick that solves about 99% of typical mysterious Mac crashes and odd behaviors. Part V: The Macworld Macintosh SECRETS Software Vault describes the 40 fantastic programs that come with this book. And, incidentally, we’ve provided the Macintosh SECRETS Software on three high-density 1.4MB disks.

With any new Macintosh book, I evaluate its worth on how quickly I can locate valuable information that I can use immediately. Macworld Mac Secrets, Fourth Edition, by David Pogue and Joseph Schorr, rewarded me with these morsels:

The word "secrets" is appropriate to about one third of the information in the book. The other two thirds consist of useful general knowledge about all aspects of the Macintosh, plus helpful tips and tricks to boost your Mac productivity and enjoyment.

Lots of Book for the Buck -- Mac Secrets consists of three components: the massive book (1,208 pages), a respectably packed CD-ROM disk (550 MB), and a Web site for updates to the book and the bundled software. This edition is quite current, demonstrated by a reference to Mac OS 7.6's new installer, and, ironically, to rumors of Apple's potential liaison with Be, Inc.

The authors describe the fourth edition by stating that "everything's different, nothing's changed." The format and feel are consistent with earlier editions, but the look is cleaner and easier to read. On the CD, the custom folder icons from previous editions have been replaced by "plain, boring, ordinary" folders, so they open rapidly.

Pogue and Schorr offer a diversified presentation, including conventional text and occasional entertaining back-and-forth dialogues, plus sidebars of secrets, true facts, case histories, and "Answer Man" solutions. The book is peppered with bulleted bonuses, such as Speed Tips, Exclusives, On the CD, Strange but True, and Worth Learning. For example, one tip worth exploring is "The Golden Troubleshooting Rule: A Clean Install," which explains the benefits of installing all generations of Mac system software from scratch, instead of on top of an existing System.

Chapter 4 is an outstanding, mini-encyclopedia on control panels and extensions, including "The Ultimate Extension-Linking Guide." Troubleshooting your Mac is covered in an excellent 30-page chapter. An extensive glossary and index help readers locate and understand terms, concepts, and the secrets themselves.

More Than Just a Book -- Is this a book or a software package? Pogue and Schorr understand that "despite the countless hours your cheerful authors have spent researching and writing this book, you may well consider the software supplied with this book to be the main course." They're not kidding: a total of 110 different shareware, freeware, and commercial programs and demos fill up the CD-ROM, and the book uses 58 pages explains the software in detail.

A few fully functional titles include: CanOpener, Claris Emailer, DiskFit Direct, TechTool, TypeIt4Me, Remember?, Cyberdog, OpenDoc, and QuickTime. The CD is a veritable software library kept up to date via the book's Web site. (Discount coupons for upgrades and full versions of many commercial applications are also provided.)

On the CD, the software is conveniently listed by chapter, category, author, and a few more groupings, aliased to the Complete Software List. The entire text of the book is on the CD, in searchable Adobe Acrobat format.

Foreword by John Galt:

This is a curious and interesting book - and I wish I had had it when I first bought my Acorn Atom. While at first sight it appears to be a book which simply tells you how to write and develop game programs on the Atom -- and gives a host of great games ideas and listings in the process -- closer inspection reveals that following through the explanation given for each game will teach you quite a bit... I would have saved myself hours of frustration if Trevor and Tim had written this book before I got my Atom... If I'd had this volume, I'd still be sane, and would have mastered the computer much more easily -- and with far less pain -- than I did.

From the moment the first keys are pressed on the Dragon 32, to the time when the final program starts to roll off the printer, programmers often find they are undergoing a process of discovery. So it was with this book. Many times, the authors found the computer was bringing its own influence to bear, helping to shape programs into their final form. In many cases, they found the Dragon appeared to have as much to do with the creative process as the programmers did, as the screen format and extensive colour and sound facilities demanded to be used to the full.

Book Description (from the back cover):

Computers are coming home! Now with the development of the Atari ready-to-go systems, you, too, can use the computer as a tool in your home, school, or office.

Tens of thousands of people of all ages used earlier editions of this book to teach themselves the programming language BASIC. So can you! This Atari edition makes it even easier for you to dispel the mystical aura that often surrounds the computer. You will learn how to write computer programs to use in your home or office, in any field from education to business to the humanities. You need no special math or science background to read, understand, and write programs in ATARI BASIC.

This book shows you how to read, write, and understand the ATARI BASIC programming language used in these new personal-sized microcomputers. In just a few days you can learn to do nearly anything you want using ATARI BASIC programs -- without any special background or previous experience with a computer. You'll find detailed descriptions of all the ATARI BASIC you will need to know to make your computer work for you. Numerous applications and games are also included.

Structured Programming in PL/C: An Abecedarian


Blurb:

This introductory text to a complex subject succeeds on many counts. One of the most important is the choice of PL/C as the compiler. This new compiler provides extensive devices to detect and correct errors. In fact, the authors report that their structured approach, combined with PL/C's error correction, cut in half the number of computer runs their beginning students needed to complete programming assignments. Moreover, the use of PL/C reduces the cost of providing the more modern PL/I language to within the range of older languages like Fortran. 

Much of what the book teaches is not stated explicitly in the text but is demonstrated in the structure of the programs.

The Supermen: The Story of Seymour Cray and the Technical Wizards Behind the Supercomputer Date: January 1997 The Supermen: The Story of Seymour Cray and the Technical Wizards Behind the Supercomputer

Reviews:

Amazon.com Review
The story of supercomputing is only partially about technology. More than anything, it's about the gifted, brilliant, and often eccentric individuals who knew how to use that technology in new ways to do amazing things. Perhaps the most amazing of the bunch was Seymour Cray, the bureaucracy-intolerant genius with the barnstorming mind whose name has become synonymous with supercomputers. Charles Murray gives us an insightful and often thrilling and sometimes amusing look into how Cray and his genius companions took computers to new heights and humbled companies like Control Data and IBM.

From Publishers Weekly
Before Bill Gates ever tinkered with an operating system, one name represented the cutting edge of computing technology: Seymour Cray. He pioneered the supercomputer and honed that edge through each model he engineered, including those built under the auspices of two companies he founded-Control Data Corporation and Cray Research. In this engrossing study, Murray, a senior editor at Design News magazine, follows the development and influence of the supercomputer from its origins as a WWII codebreaking machine through its Cold War application in developing nuclear weapons to its modern-day uses in weather research and other fields. Along the way, he shows clearly how the supercomputer brought us from the age of punchcards and vacuum tubes to that of transistors and, now, silicon chips. Drawing from extensive interviews, including the final one Cray gave before his death earlier this year from injuries sustained in a car crash, Murray also explores the personal side of the engineer, whose reputation as a brilliant, anti-corporate workaholic gave him legendary status in the computer industry. Murray's prose emphasizes information over liveliness, but his book, with its balanced mix of biography, history and technology, should interest more general readers as well as the digerati.

Amazon Review:

Presents a step-by-step sequence that can be followed in designing a data base. Offers a comprehensive and balanced treatment of the three main data base methods: IDMS/R, ADABAS, and IMS, explaining the advantages and disadvantages of each. Text prepares the reader for each phase of the task by carefully explaining two major examples of data base installations. Text is not restricted to one software package or approach, and sections on the three main methods are written to be relatively independent of one another, so that the reader can consult just the section needed.

Unfortunately, the lack of adequate software support for the development of scientific applications that will run efficiently on multiple processors has stunted the acceptance of such systems."

Hamish Carmichael has had a very happy thought in taking the initiative to collect anecdotes and recollections from the people of ICL, and so to edit and produce this Anthology.

Those of us who were and who still are privileged to work in the most exciting and significant industry so far created by the human race will recall that our colleagues came together from BTM, Powers Samas, and the computer activities of GEC, EMI, Ferranti, English Electric, LEO, Elliotts, Singer and other companies. The strategy of consolidating all the parts making up ICT was the work of Cecil Mead. The creation of ICL was - I suppose fairly - the desire of Harold Wilson’s government. - Arthur Humphreys.

Chapter 6 presents an anthology of quotations about LEO, mainly from LEO Computers personnel.

A Computor Combining Analogue and Digital Principles to Investigate Network Functions in the Complex Plane (1956) Date: 1956 A Computor Combining Analogue and Digital Principles to Investigate Network Functions in the Complex Plane (1956)

The original copy of P. F. Blackman's 1956 thesis, submitted for the Degree of Ph.D. in Engineering of London University.

This bound book is hand-typed, with hand-drawn diagrams, and black-and-white photographs pasted in. A copy of the thesis summary is provided below:

"Certain important aspects of closed-loop system and network analysis are closely related to complex variable mathematics. Graphical interpretation of such analysis is frequently employed owing to the difficulty of exact analytic work. In particular the 'p-plane' or 'root-locus' method is essentially simple, and affords considerable insight into the problem, but becomes tedious in practice for complicated systems, and several instruments have been devised to reduce the labour.

"It seemed to the author that the application of p-plane principles could be considerably extended if certain operations beyond the scope of existing instruments, particularly manipulation of ept, and summation of real and imaginary components of vector products, could be achieved. These facilities would enable more advanced types of problems to be handled, such as systems containing a pure delay, and transient response by contour integration, and would permit investigation of problems not previously considered.

"This Thesis gives proposals for a Computor to provide these additional facilities. In principle the proposals are that the techniques should be as simple as possible compatible with accuracy to engineering requirements, while facilities provided should be just adequate to eliminate excessive labour from investigations. This leads to a suggested combination of analogue and digital principles.

"An experimental Computor developed from these proposals is described. Vectors are represented by AC voltages, final results being presented as counts on Dekatrons. The Computor is largely relay controlled, and accuracy is of the order 1%-2%.

"The thesis contains 3 sections:-

"Section 1. Outlines the p-plane method, and gives proposals for the Computor. The design of a proposed resistance network analogue of the complex plane is dicussed.

"Section 2. Describes the experimental Computor, and the essential points of interest in the analogue to digital conversion processes. The operation of individual units is outlined, more detailed information being given in an appendix.

"Section 3. Illustrates the varied type of problem that can be handled on the Computor, including some exaples involving time-varying zeros. Alternative applications for the Computor, and modifications resulting from operating experience are discussed."

The aim of this book is to push the ZX81 a long way in the direction of 'serious' applications, but without the use of machine code. All the programming is easy to follow and fully explained, so that the reader learns, a step at a time, how complex programs are constructed and written.

But these programs are just a beginning. Discard the belief that the ZX81 is too small for real computing work, and use the flexible techniques described here to fill your own special data processing needs.

User-Driven Innovation: The Worlds First Business Computer Date: 1994 User-Driven Innovation: The Worlds First Business Computer

This is a first-hand account written by thirteen of the early users who developed the disciplines of systems engineering and put LEO to work on economic, time-dependent business applications, starting in 1951.
Included is an edited version of the seminal report of the two Lyons executives who, after a tour of the early computer activity in the United States in 1947, recommended that Lyons acquire a computer of their own. Also included is a Science Museum interview with John Simmons.
Tony Priest worked on the LEO for many years and kindly donated this book. It has been signed inside the front cover by John Aris, Frank Land and Ninian Eadie.

Extracts from Reviews

Professor Dick Nolan of the Harvard University Business School writes in his introduction to the book:

"This story has the best qualities of a Harvard Business School case study: it is an important event in the history of the business.

It is a study about extraordinary people ... As confident executives they look outside their company, in other countries, at universities to discover new ways of doing things and fresh ideas. In their bold actions, trust shows through as a foundation in implementing their vision. Young people are given free reign and do not disappoint. A resulting exciting, challenging ‘can-do' culture is heard in the words of the people who were there."

Dr Terry Gourvish, Director Business History Unit, LSE, inLSE Business History Newssheet,

"This is a major contribution to the history of computing and computers in the UK. A full scale case study of LEO computers, written by members of the team who experienced all its trials and tribulations, it provides a fascinating insight into the development by J. Lyons & Co. of the first business computer in the UK."

Neil Fitzgerald, editor of CA magazine, in The Scotsman, Business section. .

"Can-do culture, empowerment, user-driven innovation, business process re-engineering, flat organisations, quality, short lines of communications and decision making. We are led to believe that these are radical, modern ideas. However, a book that has come into my hands shows that they were being successfully harnessed almost half a century ago, to create the most significant event ever in business management.

The editors ... tell the story of how they and others built and put to work the world's first business computer. This did not happen in California's Silicon Valley, but at Cadby Hall, the ... west London premises of Lyons.

An important facet was that they felt they should always take a strategic view of the whole function to be computerised and make recommendations for improvements before going to work."

Dr John Pinkerton, review in ICL Technical Journal

"Telling the story of how the foundations of data processing were laid from 1949 onwards has evidently been a labour of love.

This is a work of scholarship but eminently readable nevertheless. It will be seen as a major contribution to the history of business computing; it is strongly recommended for anyone already working in or studying to enter the field of IT."

Michael Braithwaite, Deloitte, Touche, European Journal of Information Systems.

"I commend this book to a wide audience. To the general reader it stands as a very well written and exciting account of technological innovation. To the business school student it presents a remarkable story of technological success that, as a commercial venture was flawed, perhaps by factors beyond the control of the players."

Professor George Mitchell, review published Journal of Operational Research Society..

"This fascinating book tells the life story of LEO. Rather over a third of the book is the historical record, carefully researched and engagingly written up by Caminer. The rest is largely personal memoirs of those involved in the early days, including accounts of several innovative applications. The whole is rounded off by an evaluation by Aris. The book's value is enhanced by the style of writing. Those who worked in LEO, especially in its earlier days, including many of the book's authors, exercised an influence on the development of business computing in the UK quite disproportionate to their numbers.

I found this book a good read and one which exited several strands of thought. Although its main market will be among scholars and students of IT and business studies, it deserves a wide readership in the OR community."

John Perkins,National Computer Centre Newsletter,

"The book is a fascinating adventure story in which the dynamics of an extraordinary group of people made the seemingly impossible happen."

Professor John Ward in theJournal of Strategic Information Systems.

"The story of that first business computer: Leo - Lyons Electronic Office - is told in this book. Whilst it is history, reflection on what was achieved and not achieved and why still has many lessons of relevance to the successful use of IT today - we seem to be learning painfully and slowly!.

.... a review by John Aris of what of what he calls the ‘LEO approach' - an integrated combination of technology innovation, application and consultancy designed to enable significant business improvements from computer use in a range of situation. Many of these applications would be called ‘business process redesign' in the 1990s!

The wide range of contributors provide many different perspectives on what happened and views on why things evolved the way they did. It is a set of memoirs - often very personal ones - of a time when Britain could be said to have led the world in the application of this new technology.

... it is a book that we should all be grateful the authors took the time and trouble to get together and write. It is a story of extraordinary achievements, by a talented team..."

I. A. Lovelock in Management Accounting.

"This book is a first-hand account of how this astounding innovation came about. It is a flesh and blood, warts and all story related by the participants, brimming over with the same enthusiasm that enabled the unlikeliest of organisations to lead the way into the future that we are all familiar with today.

It concludes with different strands coming together to provide the essence of the LEO credo of comprehensive, integrated, secure, action stimulated implementations.

Professor T. Brady, Brighton University

"As well as being a fascinating piece of historical writing the book provides food for thought in the supposedly computer literate world of the 21st Century. Spectacular computer disasters such as the London Stock Exchange's Taurus system have left us with rather jaundiced perceptions about computer projects. Why were Lyons better at implementing computer systems?

One major factor was that before automating business processes the Lyons team ensured that they were well understood and ready for computerisation. Long before the prospect of computers came along, Lyons had established a systems research office with the brief to constantly search out how improvements might be made to the business by changing processes.”

Professor Paul Ceruzzi, Smithsonian Institute, Washington

"Most surveys of the history of computing mark the beginning of the commercial computer age with the delivery of the first UNIVAC in 1951.  The better ones note the first delivery of a UNIVAC to a commercial, not government, customer (General Electric) in 1954.  Only the best histories mention LEO, a computer built by the British catering company J. Lyons & Co. and first operational in September 1951, as the real beginning of commercial application of the stored-program computer."

Learn and Use Assembly Language on the ZX Spectrum Date: 1983 Learn and Use Assembly Language on the ZX Spectrum

Machine code for action. Machine-code programs run very quickly, literally hundreds of times faster than the equivalent BASIC. And they are very powerful, enabling your computer to do things undreamed of by its manufacturer!
The ZX Spectrum uses a Z80 processor, and machine-code programs are written in Z80 assembly language. This book is a complete course in Z80 assembly language, right from the beginning. Written by an experienced teacher and programmer, it is ideal for anyone with a knowledge of BASIC and contains many complete-and useful- programs.
Assembly software. The assembly-language listings in this book can of course be hand assembled into machine code, but for speed and accuracy you should use the McGraw-Hill ZX Spectrum Machine Code Assembler program, available on cassette for the 16K or 48K Spectrum. All the program listings have been specially written to match this software

LCP is a data-driven program design technique.  It replaces the intuitive, trial-and-error approach to programming with a disciplined approach, based on logical rules.  Thus “the art of programming” is really transformed into an engineering discipline.

Invaluable for structuring large batch programs, LCP is a powerful technique for any kind of program or procedure (including the most neglected but nevertheless equally important human/manual procedures).

6809 Assembly Language Programming Date: April 1981 6809 Assembly Language Programming

This book describes assembly language programming. It assumes that you are
familiar with An Introduction to Microcomputers: Volume 1 — Basic Concepts (Berkeley: Osborne/McGraw-Hill, 1980). Chapters 6 and 7 of that book are
especially relevant. This book does not discuss the general features of computers,
microcomputers, addressing methods, or instruction sets; you should refer to An
Introduction to Microcomputers: Volume 1 for that information.

The chapters in this section provide basic information on assembly language in
general and the 6809 in particular. Chapter 1 discusses the purpose of assembly
language and compares it with higher-level computer languages. Chapter 2 discusses assemblers and, briefly, loaders. Chapter 3 describes the architecture of the 6809 microprocessor, compares it with similar processors, and discusses important features of Motorola's 6809 assemblers.

Dr. Ian Logan is widely acknowledged as the leading authority on Sinclair computers. In this book, he gives you a complete overview of the way the Spectrum operates, both for BASIC and machine language programming, including numerous demonstration programs. In Dr. Logan's word Understanding Your Spectrum has three main aims: to explain, in simple terms, how the Spectrum works; to teach Z80 machine code from the first principles; and to give details of monitor entry points, so that efficient programs can be written. A special section of the ROM operating system will give you insight into the Spectrum and provide you with information on how to use many of the routines present in the ROM in your own programming/ This book is a must if you are serious about programming the Spectrum.

"Now without any additional effort, you can overcome the limitations of BASIC and give your Spectrum real power-faster programs, more powerful graphic commands, realistic explosions, fast screen scrolling, great sounds and much more! This book will help you to develop programs of professional quality- not only will your programs look better, run faster, and be more spectacular- but you will also be able to develop them in a fraction of the time you would expect it to take. One of the most spectacular examples of extending the Spectrum is a routine that allows you to reproduce your voice and play it back from within your own programs!

Official Definition of Coral 66 Date: 1976 Official Definition of Coral 66

CORAL (Computer On-line Real-time Applications Language) is a programming language originally developed in 1964 at the Royal Radar Establishment (RRE), Malvern, UK, as a subset of JOVIAL. Coral 66 was subsequently developed by I. F. Currie and M. Griffiths. Its official definition, edited by Woodward, Wetherall and Gorman, was first published in 1970.

Coral 66 is a general-purpose programming language based on ALGOL 60, with some features from Coral 64, JOVIAL, and FORTRAN. It includes structured record types (as in Pascal) and supports the packing of data into limited storage (also as in Pascal). Like Edinburgh IMP it allows embedded assembler, and also offers good run-time checking and diagnostics. It is specifically intended for real-time applications and for use on computers with limited processing power, including those limited to fixed point arithmetic and those without support for dynamic storage allocation

A History of Modern Computing Date: 2003 A History of Modern Computing

From the first digital computer to the dot-com crash - a story of individuals, institutions, and the forces that led to a series of dramatic transformations. This engaging history covers modern computing from the development of the first electronic digital computer through the dot-com crash. 
The author concentrates on five key moments of transition: the transformation of the computer in the late 1940s from a specialised scientific instrument to a commercial product; the emergence of small systems in the late 1960s; the beginning of personal computing in the 1970s; the spread of networking after 1985; and, in a chapter written for the 2nd edition, the period 1995-2001.
Reports on the role played by Lyons and LEO Computers in the development of business computing. However the author adds that the book is intended as a history of USA computing and the references to developments in other countries including UK with LEO and Lyons are restricted to a few lines on page 10.

Programmed Inequality: How Britain Discarded Women Technologists and Lost its Edge in Computing Date: 3rd March 2017 Programmed Inequality: How Britain Discarded Women Technologists and Lost its Edge in Computing

Marie Hicks, an American academic, has produced a well researched and in many ways fascinating account of the British computer industry from its birth at the beginning of World War 2 code-breaking at Bletchley Park to the demise of ICL in the mid-1970s. As such it includes many references to LEO Computers including reports of interviews with LEO employees.

However, the focus is on British Government computing, and in particular on the making of staffing policy in the Civil Service. The account is often interesting and provides an insight into the social history of the Civil Service as it enters the Information Age, whether one agrees with the book's basic hypothesis or not.

ZX81 Basic Book


If you have a ZX81, or are thinking of buying one, this book will tell you all you need to know to get the best from it. 

ZX81 Basic Book covers the basic 1k version, the additional facilities offered by the 16k expansion RAM, and how to use the ZX Printer.
There are 14 original programs for you to run on the machine (For 1K and 16K versions), and for those confused by computer jargon (and who isn't?) there is a glossary of technical terms.

Robin Norman assumes no initial computing know-how, and his undemanding writing style is a perfect beginners' introduction - as readers of his previous book, Learning BASIC with your Sinclair ZX80, will know.

Digital Computer Structure and Design Date: 1975 Digital Computer Structure and Design

Primarily this book is intended as an introduction to the principles of the design of computer systems for a college course in computer engineering. In fact the work grew out of a third year course on the digital computer at Chelsea College, and therefore is directed at undergraduate or MSc level. However the author has spent much of his career in industry, both here and in the USA, and writes from a practical as well as an academic viewpoint. It is envisaged therefore, that this book will be as useful to the practising engineer as to the student.

Published in 1979, this book examines the possible impact of the microprocessor not just on a technical level, but also upon society as a whole.  The microprocessor went on to launch a computing revolution that has transformed the world we live in.

From the blurb:

'Within the next five years microelectronics technology will engulf all sections of the economy.  While the long-term benefits are indisputable and promise a far better quality of life for all of us, the transitional period requires sensitive, imaginative planning if wholesale disruption is to be avoided.

This study reviews future developments in information technology and calls for greater government emphasis and public awareness of both the problems and the opportunities presented by the new technology.'

Mac OS X Leopard Edition The Missing Manual Date: 2007 Mac OS X Leopard Edition The Missing Manual

Mac OS X Leopard Edition The Missing Manual for Apple Macintosh

"The book that should have been in the box"

With Leopard, Apple has unleashed the greatest version of Mac OS X yet, and David Pogue is back with another meticulous Missing Manual to cover the operating system with a wealth of detail. The new Mac OS X 10.5, better known as Leopard, is faster than its predecessors, but nothing's too fast for Pogue and this Missing Manual. It's just one of reasons this is the most popular computer book of all time.

Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is the authoritative book for Mac users of all technical levels and experience. If you're new to the Mac, this book gives you a crystal-clear, jargon-free introduction to the Dock, the Mac OS X folder structure, and the Mail application. There are also mini-manuals on iLife applications such as iMovie, iDVD, and iPhoto, and a tutorial for Safari, Mac's web browser.

This Missing Manual is amusing and fun to read, but Pogue doesn't take his subject lightly. Which new Leopard features work well and which do not? What should you look for? What should you avoid? Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition offers an objective and straightforward instruction for using:

  • Leopard's totally revamped Finder
  • Spaces to group your windows and organize your Mac tasks
  • Quick Look to view files before you open them
  • The Time Machine, Leopard's new backup feature
  • Spotlight to search for and find anything in your Mac
  • Front Row, a new way to enjoy music, photos, and videos
  • Enhanced Parental Controls that come with Leopard
  • Quick tips for setting up and configuring your Mac to make it your own

There's something new on practically every page of this new edition, and David Pogue brings his celebrated wit and expertise to every one of them. Mac's brought a new cat to town and Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is a great new way to tame it.

AppleScript The Missing Manual Date: 2005 AppleScript The Missing Manual

AppleScript The Missing Manual for the Apple Macintosh is a book written by Adam Goldstein and published by O'Reilly Media in 2005.

Mac users around the world use AppleScript to automate their daily computing routines. Famed for its similarity to English and its ease of integration with other programs, AppleScript is the perfect programming language for time-squeezed Mac fans. As beginners quickly realize, however, AppleScript has one major shortcoming: it comes without a manual. No more. You don't need a degree in computer science, a fancy system administrator title, or even a pocket protector and pair of nerdy glasses to learn the Mac's most popular scripting language; you just need the proper guide at your side. AppleScript: The Missing Manual is that guide.Brilliantly compiled by author Adam Goldstein, AppleScript: The Missing Manual is brimming with useful examples. You'll learn how to clean up your Desktop with a single click, for example, and how to automatically optimize pictures for a website. Along the way, you'll learn the overall grammar of AppleScript, so you can write your own customized scripts when you feel the need. Naturally, AppleScript: The Missing Manual isn't merely for the uninitiated scripter. While its hands-on approach certainly keeps novices from feeling intimidated, this comprehensive guide is also suited for system administrators, web and graphics professionals, musicians, scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and others who need to learn the ins and outs of AppleScript for their daily work.Thanks to AppleScript: The Missing Manual, the path from consumer to seasoned script has never been clearer. Now you, too, can automate your Macintosh in no time.

Dvorak's Inside Track to the Mac Date: 1991 Dvorak's Inside Track to the Mac

Dvorak's Inside Track to the Mac for Apple Macintosh.

The fact is simple. The Macintosh is one great computer — no matter what IBM PC or Amiga users like to think. The world has taken to the idea of the Mac's graphical interface. Everyone agrees that it is the model for the future and will be used by everyone, whether in the form of the Mac operating system, or Windows, or whatever.

With this guide, you will learn about the Macintosh and how it works. You will read about different areas of Mac software and how they could be of value to you. There are chapters on spreadsheets, word processing, databases, telecommunications, file management, educational programs, and desktop publishing. There is a chapter on HyperCard, which walks you through the creation of your own HyperCard stack. 'This means you will learn the basics of program- ming. This book covers the Macintosh in a logical order. We begin with a brief discussion of all computers, then move to Mac commands 2md information on the operating system, INITs and CDEVs, and XV desk accessories. Wherever possible, we make recommendatioiis, called "Tips," "Notes," and "Cautions." From the basics we move to application-specific information. Each chapter is designed to give you an overview as well as an in-depth understanding. There is a discussion of the application and a sampling of the important software cmd hardware available.

SHAREWARE PROGRAMS There is more here than just a book. BMUG (Berkeley Macintosh Users Group) created a disk for us, and it's included free with this book. The disk is chockful — down to the last byte— of useful stuff. BMUG chose a sam- pling of shareware and freeware programs from what's available through users groups all around the country. The progreims are neatly filed into folders labeled "Utility," "Business," "Games," and "Telecommunica- tions." There is also a folder called "About BMUG," with more mformation on the users group.

OS6 An Operating System for a Small Computer Date: May 1972 OS6 An Operating System for a Small Computer

This is a description of a simple operating system, which runs in a virtual machine (implemented on a real machine by an interpreter). OS6 copes with only one user at a time, and is not a multi-programming system: many major problems associated with large operating systems have therefore been avoided or considerably simplified. It nevertheless has several features of interest, including the fact that it is written almost entirely in the high-level language BCPL. The most important single feature, however, is the hierarchical nature of its control structure, which avoids the need for a special job-control language.

We are extremely grateful to both Dawn and Kim Wakefield for the kind donation of the collection of their late father Richard Wakefield.

The history of ICL is synonymous with the history of the British computer industry. ICL was formed by a series of mergers in response to the increasing market dominance of the large American corporations, particularly IBM. The struggles between these two giants and the inherent problems and implications of competing with US multi-nationals are examined in detail in Campbell Kelly's wide ranging study. At the time of writing in the late 1980s, the author was given unrestricted access to ICL archives and his lucid account of the company, its set-backs and successes makes for a compelling and informative read. This book, which was Winner of the Wadsworth Prize for Business History (1989), will be of great interest to anyone involved in business or the computing industry. Refers to LEO Computers.

Jacquard's Web: How a Hand-Loom Led to the Birth of the Information Age Date: 2004 Jacquard's Web: How a Hand-Loom Led to the Birth of the Information Age

Hard Cover 256 pages
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA; 1St Edition edition (December 1, 2004)
Language: English
ISBN-13: 978-0192805775
Product Dimensions: 7.8 x 5.2 x 1.1 inches

Publication Date: December 1, 2004
In Jacquard's Web, James Essinger tells the story of some of the most brilliant inventors the world has ever known, in this fascinating account of how a hand-loom invented in Napoleonic France led to the development of the modern information age.
Essinger, a master story-teller, describes how Joseph-Marie Jacquard's loom enabled the silk-weavers of Lyons to weave fabrics 25 times faster than had previously been possible. The device used punched cards, which stored instructions for weaving whatever pattern or design was required. These cards can very reasonably be described as the world's first computer programs. Indeed, Essinger shows through a series of remarkable and meticulously researched historical connections--connections never before investigated--that the Jacquard loom kick-started a process of scientific evolution which would lead directly to the development of the modern computer. The book examines a wealth of extraordinary links between the nineteenth-century world of weaving and today's computer age: for example, modern computer graphics displays are based on exactly the same principles as those employed in Jacquard's special woven tableaux. Jacquard's Web also introduces some of the most colorful and interesting characters in the history of science and technology: the modest but exceptionally dedicated Jacquard himself; the brilliant but temperamental Victorian polymath Charles Babbage, who dreamed of a cogwheel computer operated using Jacquard cards; and the imaginative and perceptive Ada Lovelace, Lord Byron's only legitimate daughter.
Attractively illustrated and compellingly narrated, Jacquard's Web is an engaging and delightful volume. It is an impressive case of historical detective work, one that will leave the reader mesmerized.

"With wit and imagination, Essinger has woven a marvelous tapestry celebrating this rugs-to-riches story and the unlikely birth of the information age."--Entertainment Weekly


"Jacquard's Web is more than the biography of a man and his machine. Mr. Essinger moves from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, connecting the loom, step by step, to the Harvard Mark I, the first proper computer, presented to the public in 1944.... Essinger tells his story with passion and with a gracious willingness to help the lay reader grasp the intricacies of technology."--Wall Street Journal


"Essinger does more than weave together science, history, and business: he sheds light on the nature of innovation.... His book deftly shows how even the most surprising breakthroughs are based on the work of others, and need a host of enabling factors to take root. Without the appropriate financial, technological, and cultural factors, no inventor, regardless of passion, can harvest his brilliant machine.... His tale of cultural, economic, and personal factors that enable ideas to become real tools makes this book a welcome addition to the literature of innovation."-- Tom Ehrenfeld, The Boston Globe

"Anyone who enjoyed Tom Standage's book on automata, The Mechanical Turk, will probably enjoy Jacquard's Web."--New Scientist

"An original perspective...the thread that runs through it--the relation of everything that has come since to the principle of the Jacquard loom--quite compelling."--Walter Gratzer, King's College London

Programming perl (Nutshell Handbooks) (Paperback)
by Larry Wall (Author), Randal L. Schwartz (Author)

Programming Perl
Larry Wall + Randal L. Schwartz
O'Reilly & Associates
First Edition January 1991
454 pages

Readers already familiar with Perl will presumably either own Programming Perl or have decided not to buy a copy, since it seems to be the only reference for the language. (It is certainly the standard one.) If you are thinking of learning Perl then you have a choice between using this book, using the companion volume Learning Perl, or hacking it out for yourselves with the aid of the fairly comprehensive manual entry. Programming Perl worked fine for me, and it's probably the right way to go for anyone who can already program in C or shell. On the other hand, Learning Perl looks like a good textbook, and its existence makes Perl a suitable first language for those people who want to be able to write general purpose programs for their own use, rather than for commercial, scientific or esoteric theoretical purposes.

Mac OS X Tiger Edition The Missing Manual Date: 2005 Mac OS X Tiger Edition The Missing Manual

Written by the New York Times columnist David Pogue and published by O'Reilly Media in 2005.

As Apple comes out with another version of Mac OS X, David Pogue hits the streets with another meticulous Missing Manual to cover it with a wealth of detail. The new Mac OS X 10.4, better known as Tiger, is faster than its predecessors, but nothing's too fast for Pogue and Mac OS X: The Missing Manual.

With its hallmark objectivity, the Tiger Edition thoroughly explores the latest features to grace the Mac OS. Which ones work well and which do not? What should you look for? This book tackles Spotlight, an enhanced search feature that helps you find anything on your computer; iChat AV for videoconferencing; Automator for automating repetitive, manual or batch tasks; and the hundreds of smaller tweaks and changes, good and bad, that Apple's marketing never bothers to mention.

Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition is the authoritative book that's ideal for every user, including people coming to the Mac for the first time. Our guide offers an ideal introduction that demystifies the Dock, the unfamiliar Mac OS X folder structure, and the entirely new Mail application. There are also mini-manuals on iLife applications such as iMovie, iDVD, and iPhoto, those much-heralded digital media programs, and a tutorial for Safari, Mac's own web browser.

And plenty more: learn to configure Mac OS X using the System Preferences application, keep your Mac secure with FileVault, and learn about Tiger's enhanced Firewall capabilities. If you're so inclined, this Missing Manual also offers an easy introduction to the Terminal application for issuing basic Unix commands.

There's something new on practically every page, and David Pogue brings his celebrated wit and expertise to every one of them. Mac's brought a new cat to town and we have a great new way to tame it.

The Macintosh Bible 7th Ed Date: 1998 The Macintosh Bible 7th Ed

The Macintosh Bible 7th Ed for Apple Macintosh through OS 8.5.

Extensively revised from the last, best-selling version, The Macintosh Bible, 7th Edition is a comprehensive reference for Mac users from novice to expert. Its packed with information on computing basics, Mac applications, software updates, including coverage of Mac OS 8.5, the Internet, and more, all presented in the clear, friendly style that has earned the Macintosh Bible millions of fans. The companion Web site provides tips, news, and updates on Mac developments.

The Macintosh Bible is billed as the "most popular Mac book ever," and reviews for earlier editions (from Macworld, the New York Times, and Byte among others) are almost universally superlative. No wonder. Sharon Zardetto Aker, who has authored and/or collaborated on each edition of The Macintosh Bible since the third, offers thousands of hints and inside suggestions that will be invaluable to even the most seasoned Mac user. This time, her attention extends to material through Mac OS 8.5 and issues of concern to iMac owners. Topics treated in depth include: beginning with a Mac, hardware, the operating system, other system elements, productivity software, creativity software, and connections. More than 80 percent of the material is new in this edition. The revised version especially excels in its attention to minutiae, encompassing issues as far-ranging as "zapping the PRAM" (that's the 24K parameter RAM that retains control panel and date/time settings, etc.) or the "Color Menu addition" to SimpleText (SimpleText Color Menu is a shareware utility that adds some cool functionality to the basic Mac text processor). In fact, you can pick just about any page in the Bible and find some new Web site or new function that will expand the power of your Mac or iMac. This one is essential. Updates will be continuously available at the readers-only Web site (password information is hidden in the book). --Patrick O'Kelley

Sad Macs, Bombs, and Other Disasters and What To Do About Them Date: March 1997 Sad Macs, Bombs, and Other Disasters and What To Do About Them

Sad Macs, Bombs, and Other Disasters and What To Do About Them, Third Edition for the Apple Macintosh,  according to the publisher is the definitive guide to have on hand when your Apple Macintosh rolls a bomb in your general direction. (For the MacNovice, the bomb indicates a terminal system error.) The book is the complete guide to troubleshooting the Mac, and has an entry for every imaginable disaster that might befall your Mac from bootup to shutdown. Along the way, you'll find some incidental treasure--advice on tuning your Mac, using virtual memory, decoding the deep mysteries of the System Folder, and performing routine maintenance tasks to keep your system cranking along at top speed. This edition also features new information on PCI Macs, PowerPC Powerbooks, coverage of Mac System 7.5/7.6 issues, and an entirely new chapter on Internet protocols, Web browsers, PPP and similar issues emphasizing "problems and solutions."

Sad Macs is not only well written, it's elegantly organized. Besides the kind of comprehensive index you might wish for in a troubleshooting guide, the author also includes an elaborate "Symptom Index." The final third of the book is devoted to "Fix-It" guides to specific problem sets, such as diagnosing problems with system extensions, and throughout these guides are usefully cross-referenced. If you've got a Mac, this is an essential utility, and a must-have desktop reference guide.

Book Info
Contents include information on Mac OS 9, FireWire, USB, iMacs, iBooks, G4s, QuickTime 4, DVD drives, infrared connections, cable modems, what to do when the system freezes, how to handle memory problems, strategies for managing extension snafus, how to overcome Internet connection hurdles, and more.

This early book on the history of computers includes a number of references to LEO. See pages 230 and 281-282, and a photograph. It is a brief but accurate account noting payroll and teashop ordering.  

Research comments: What is also interesting, in a book published in 1965, is the absence of any mention of war—time computing in Bletchley or any computer innovations outside the USA and UK. A surprising number of pages are devoted to analogue computers. A second edition was published in 1975. (FL)

This book is an account, part technical, part sociological and part philosophical, of the computer revolution.

After a general survey of the development of computer-controlled data processing, Michael Rose examines the complex effects of the computer upon the clerical worker - the new opportunities, the dangers of alienation, the threat of technological unemployment. He then focuses upon the fast-developing problems of managers. Many of the standard managerial functions can already be programmed. But should executives delegate qualitative decisions to a machine? And if so, how far can and should these changes go?

Leon Bagrit was generally recognised as being extraordinarily prescient in his thinking.  For instance, in this book 'The Age of Automation' he predicted:
 
‘It is now possible to envisage personal computers, small enough to be taken around in one’s car, or even one’s pocket.  They could be plugged into a national computer grid, to provide individual enquirers with almost unlimited information.’
 
‘Perhaps the most far-reaching use of the new generation of computers will be in the retention and communication of information of all sorts within a national, possibly a world-wide, information system.
 
‘In many industrial and commercial applications we are moving steadily away from large, centralized computers towards much simpler decentralized units, systems of small, cheap, special-purpose units, rather like building bricks.
 
‘Car drivers could be told immediately about traffic hold-ups and road works and given alternative routes….’

Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition and Still Can't Get a Date

Amazon.co.uk Review
Robert X. Cringely manages to capture the contradictions and everyday insanity of computer industry empire building, while at the same time chipping away sardonically at the PR campaigns that have built up some very common business people into the household gods of geekdom. Despite some chuckles at the expense of all things nerdy, white and male in the computer industry, Cringely somehow manages to balance the humour with a genuine appreciation of both the technical and strategic accomplishments of these industry luminaries. Whether you're a hard-boiled Silicon Valley marketing exec fishing for an IPO or just a plain old reader with an interest in business history and anecdotal storytelling, there's something to enjoy here.

In his new conclusion, Cringely looks at the likely near-future of the PC industry, arguing that most of the major companies are facing a need to dramatically reformulate their mission in the light of engineering developments already in the works. He offers a new paradigm for the development of the industry as it moves from its early "start up" phase into a more mature, more competitive era. --Jake Bond

Product Description
This work looks at the business of computing in the US, as computer science, as a business, and as a collection of extraordinary and eccentric characters. After automobiles, energy production, and illegal drugs, personal computers are one of the largest manufacturing industries in the world, and one of the great success stories for American business. This book is linked to a Channel 4 television series entitled "The Triumph of the Nerds".

Summary:
In "the best book to date on the subject" (San Francisco Chronicle),
prize-winning journalist David A. Kaplan brings to life the culture
and history of Silicon Valley. The symbol of high-tech genius and
ineffable wealth, a place that competes with Hollywood and Washington
in the zeitgeist of success and excess, the Valley is the epicenter
of the New Economy. Depending on yesterday's stock market close,
roughly a quartermillion Siliconillionaires live in the Valley. And
they're building megalo-mansions and buying Lamborghinis as fast as
they can. Combining reportorial insight and biting wit, The Silicon
Boys tells the unforgettable story of dreams and greed, ambition and
luck, that has become the Valley of the Dollars.

Smalltalk-80 A practical introduction Date: 1990 Smalltalk-80 A practical introduction

Smalltalk is an object-oriented, dynamically typed, reflective programming language. Smalltalk was created as the language to underpin the "new world" of computing exemplified by "human–computer symbiosis."[1] It was designed and created in part for educational use, more so for constructionist learning, at Xerox PARC by Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls, Adele Goldberg, Ted Kaehler, Scott Wallace, and others during the 1970s, influenced by Lisp, Logo, Sketchpad and Simula.

The language was first generally released as Smalltalk-80 and has been widely used since. Smalltalk-like languages are in continuing active development, and have gathered loyal communities of users around them. ANSI Smalltalk was ratified in 1998 and represents the standard version of Smalltalk.

Introduction Excerpt:

Do you need a book written in simple language about how to use the Electron or BBC micro? This is it!

If you have a little common sense and plenty of imagination, you will find working with your home computer fascinating, fun, and only as demanding as you care to make it. There are no rules about who can benefit or make a contribution. Perhaps children, in particular, have shown us most clearly that they have no fear of the micro. Above all though, this book is meant to be shared between members of the family and friends of all ages.

Faster Than Thought: A Symposium on Digital Computing Machines 1953 Date: 1953 Faster Than Thought: A Symposium on Digital Computing Machines 1953

B.V. Bowden was born in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. He attended Hasland Junior School as a child and graduated in natural sciences from Emmanuel College, Cambridge (1931), taking his Ph.D. in nuclear physics. From 1934-1935 he was sponsored by ICI to undertake research at the University of Amsterdam. After a period in teaching, he was conscripted to the Telecommunications Research Establishment to work on radar in 1940. From 1943, he continued his work at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, establishing himself as an able and effective administrator. From the end of World War II to 1953 he held a series of jobs, including selling early computers manufactured by Ferranti. His prescient forecasts of the impact that the technology would have on daily life were published in this 1953 book Faster than Thought.

In this book, B. V. Bowden is the first person to reintroduce to the public imagination Ada Lovelace's significant contribution to the development of computing. This was 101 years after her death. The frontispiece to the book includes an image of 'Ada Augusta, the Countess of Lovelace'.

In the chapter 'The Application of Digital Computers to Business and Commerce' Bowden refers to LEO, erroneously calling it "in all essentials a copy of the EDSAC" and suggesting that LEO had not at that point "been brought into use in commercial work" (although in fact LEO ran its first applications in 1951). Bowden concludes that computers are unlikely to be able to replace the work of human clerks.

The book also includes, amongst others, a chapter on the use of computers in meteorology, one on machines in government calculations and ideas around input/output mechanisms. It includes contributions from some of the pre-eminent computer pioneers of the time such as Tom Kilburn, Andrew Booth, Alan Turing, Maurice Wilkes, Freddy Williams and Christopher Strachey.

Here is the book which will help both parents and children to grasp the basic ideas about computing, and provide an elementary knowledge of programming in the Commodore BASIC language.

Both can learn together and experience enormous pleasure from mastering the machine.

Even some parents have difficulty with numbers so a visual approach has been used through much of the book.

No knowledge of computers is assumed so the book begins at the beginning by describing how to switch on the machine.

Prentice-Hall 1996

Editorial Reviews:

Synopsis: IBM's AIX is no longer just another flavor of UNIX. With the advent of the POWER PC architecture, IBM RISC computers are finding their way into most organizations. Most of these use AIX for their operating system. This means a lot of people have suddenly become AIX system administrators. Whether your background is UNIX, DOS, or something else, AIX for Breakfast provides everything you'll need to know to handle AIX system administration and programming. By orienting you to the AIX paradigm first, you'll learn from the inside out, focusing on two major areas: customization and system configuration. You'll start by setting up user accounts and shells, then learn to tailor them to individual needs. Choose a GUI interface; learn to customize X Windows, Motif, and X Desktop to fine tune your GUI. Explanations, examples, and diskette samples will take you from the initial file manipulations needed for any user up to complete customization of your organization's working environment.

As you proceed, you'll learn tips for AIX's InfoExplorer to find advanced help and resolve error messages. AIX's most innovative feature is the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT). AIX for Breakfast examines the SMIT menu items one by one, with many tips and insights along the way. SMIT can make software installation a snap. You can also add and configure peripheral devices, both physical and virtual, easily. A special chapter is devoted to the configuration of "unsupported" or third-party printers. You'll even be able to explore the Internet. Using SMIT to configure network services, like TCP/IP, will get you out surfing the Internet in no time. SMIT also helps with error reporting, performance tuning, and maintenance of system parameters.

File management is covered in the chapter devoted to LVM, the Logical Volume Manager. AIX for Breakfast presents a full discussion of partitions, storage, disk mirroring, and backup and recovery. This includes a detailed description of creating bootable backups and operating system re-installation. For administrators who must convert from AIX version 3.2 to AIX 4.1, or who must administer both, an entire chapter documents the changes brought by AIX 4. The enclosed diskette offers practical sample user file customizations, sample scripts, and performance monitoring software.

The C Programming Language Date: 1st April 1988 The C Programming Language

Second Edition (April 1, 1988)

The authors present the complete guide to ANSI standard C language programming. Written by the developers of C, this new version helps readers keep up with the finalized ANSI standard for C while showing how to take advantage of C's rich set of operators, economy of expression, improved control flow, and data structures. The 2/E has been completely rewritten with additional examples and problem sets to clarify the implementation of difficult language constructs. For years, C programmers have let K&R guide them to building well-structured and efficient programs. Now this same help is available to those working with ANSI compilers. Includes detailed coverage of the C language plus the official C language reference manual for at-a-glance help with syntax notation, declarations, ANSI changes, scope rules, and the list goes on and on.

The Complete MUMPS Programming Language Date: 1st February 1989 The Complete MUMPS Programming Language

The Complete MUMPS: An Introduction and Reference Manual for the MUMPS Programming Language

MUMPS (Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System), or alternatively M, is a programming language created in the late 1960s, originally for use in the healthcare industry. It was designed for the production of multi-user database-driven applications. It predates C and most other popular languages in current usage, and has very different syntax and terminology. It was largely adopted during the 1970s and early 1980s in healthcare and financial information systems/databases, and continues to be used by many of the same clients today. It is currently used in electronic health record systems as well as by multiple banking networks and online trading/investment services.

Reviews:
The beauty of Mumps is its FAST storage and retrieval of data. This is a great book if you want to know how it works at the lowest level. If you use Cache' then you can access Mumps' wonderful database handling via VB, Web applications and ODBC. Its free for a single user on XP from the Intersystems web site, its powerful its flexible,it lets you create objects and use them. You can write spaghetti in every language but you can't write fast efficient database applications like you can in MUMPs on day one!

The book is a good reference of MUMPS as far as it goes, but lets face it MUMPS is a disease that should be vaccinated against. It is a programming language/database/operating system that has worse syntax than BASIC and encourages nothing more than unmaintainable code. Go out and buy yourself a good Java book instead and be part of the future instead of the dusty ancient past.

The Systems Programmer's Problem Solver (Second Edition) Date: 1989 The Systems Programmer's Problem Solver (Second Edition)

This Amazon review is from: Systems programmer's problem solver (Winthrop computer systems series) (Hardcover)

Spotting this book on a shelf in my temporary cubicle while waiting for code to be uploaded for testing was pure serendipity - I picked it up to kill time and discovered a gem that is as relevant today as it was when first written in 1989. True, it needs to be modernized, especially since it was written by a mainframer for mainframers, and the slant towards MVS needs to be aligned to contemporary systems.

However, here are some of the reasons why I feel this book still has value:

- The principles haven't changed. While the first chapter on debugging is aimed at mainframe systems programmers, consider some of the topics - "What did you change recently?", "Corrective Redesign", and "Timing Problems". These, and the other eighteen items covered are most certainly relevant today regardless of the programming language(s) or environments. Other chapters that are well grounded in principles include (3) Prevention, (4) Coding Practices, (6) Testing and (7) Management.

- It's an easy read. Each chapter addresses topics in short one-to-two page essays. I especially like the wry humor which reminds me of Geoffrey James' "The Tao of Programming" (ISBN 0931137071), and the fact that each topic is covered in sufficient depth to make you think, but doesn't go into superfluous or unnecessary detail.

- Gerald Weinberg's forward to this book could have been written yesterday instead of in 1989!

Of course, if you are one of the shrinking group of MVS (and VM) systems programmers this book will be much more meaningful, but I think that any programmer will benefit from this book. I would love to see it updated and republished in a 3rd edition.

"...intended to serve as a companion to the manuals provided by Apple Computer Inc for ProDOS, providing additional information for the advanced programmer or for the novice Apple user who wants to know more about the structure of disks."
Beneath Apple ProDOS is intended to serve as a companion to the manuals provided by Apple Computer, Inc. for ProDOS, providing additional information for the advanced programmer or for the novice Apple user who wants to know more about the structure of disks. It is not the intent of this manual to replace the documentation provided by Apple. Although, for the sake of continuity, some of the material covered in the Apple manuals is also covered here, it will be assumed that the reader is reasonably familiar with the contents of Apple’s ProDOS User’s Manual and BASIC Programming With ProDOS. Since all chapters presented here may not be of use to each Apple owner, each has been written to stand on its own. Readers of our earlier book. Beneath Apple DOS, will notice that we have retained the basic organization of that book in an attempt to help them familiarize themselves with Beneath Apple ProDOS more quickly.
The information presented here is a result of intensive disassembly and annotation of various versions of ProDOS by the authors. It also uses as a reference various application notes and preliminary documentation from Apple. Although no guarantee can be made concerning the accuracy of the information presented here, aU of the material included in Beneath Apple ProDOS has been thoroughly researched and tested.

In this book, you'll learn how to talk to your Computer. That's all programming is, by the way. Once you learn how to communicate, you'll be able to get your Computer to do whatever you tell it. (well almost).

The Computer understands a language called COLOR BASIC. COLOR BASIC is form of BASIC - Beginners All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. There are lots of computer languages. COLOR BASIC just happens to be the language your Computer understands.

We'll introduce BASIC words in the order that it's easiest to learn them. When you get mid-way in the book, you might forget what one of the words means. If this happens, simply look up the word in the back of the book or use your "Quick Reference Card" to find its meaning.

The Cambridge Phenomenon Date: 1985 The Cambridge Phenomenon

This is the third printing of a study first published in February 1985. The study has been internationally acclaimed as a pioneering analysis of university-industry interactions, of high technology business development and of their impact on a local economy, and has exerted considerable influence in business and professional circles.
 
The 'Cambridge Phenomenon' refers to the process by which hundreds of small high technology businesses have become established in and around Cambridge, England, and in addition to their own continuing growth have attracted to the area other organisations notably in business/financial services and in specialist R&D operations of big companies based elsewhere. High technology accounts directly for more than one eighth of local employment, over double the national average; and the area (with less than 0.5% of the UK population) accounts for more than 5% of national R&D. The city's international prestige, long established academically and architecturally, has acquired a new dimension.
 
The Phenomenon has continued to thrive since the original fieldwork was undertaken in 1984, and the rate of new firm formation and of aggregate employment growth has remained exceptionally high. But only a few businesses have achieved international significance, and some of the most promising have been acquired, often by foreign companies. The area has so far proved more successful as a breeding ground for high technology entrepreneurs than as an environment in which small companies grow big.
 
Cambridge has emerged as a regional business centre and is one of the most buoyant local economies in the UK. The transformation from an isolated university and market town has brought many benefits but also headaches such as high house prices and traffic congestion. A new planning framework is being developed, but controversy continues as to what volume of growth to accommodate and where.
 
The preface to this printing discusses these and other issues, such as the continuing, indirect role of the University in underpinning development of the Phenomenon. The new version thus remains internationally relevant in its illumination of key topics concerning technology-based economic development eg
•  stimulating start-up and managing growth of high technology firms
•  formulation of appropriate physical planning and related policies
•  interactions between a university and its local economy.

This book takes a novice, with some experience of BASIC and operating systems, up to a good working knowledge of the C language. The standards of the ANSI version 3 dialect of C are adhered to throughout.

Rather than just define the syntax of C, as in a language manual, this book uses well-chosen examples that are easy to follow, and are often useful in their own right. Well over 100 programs are used to illustrate the various features of the language.

Topics include: the pre-processor; declaring data types, variable storage; functions and macros; pointers; arrays; character strings; data structures; file handling; printing techniques and problems; graphics. Numerous appendices provide rapid access to quick-reference information.

An Expert System is, simply, computer software that encapsulates some area of human expertise. It can help a doctor to diagnose illnesses, a chemist to deduce chemical structures or help to choose the best place to drill for oil or precious metals. Up to now this has been the province of big computers, bigger programs, and exotic languages. But this book brings the important topic down to earth with easy explanations and practical BASIC programs that you can key in immediately on your personal computer.

Crash - Learning from the World's Worst Computer Disasters Date: 1998 Crash - Learning from the World's Worst Computer Disasters

Ever since Babbage invented the computer, it's been crashing. Today nearly everyone in business uses computers but few do so with confidence. There is scarcely an industrialized country that has not seen its businesses seriously damaged by computer disasters. More than 60 per cent of new computer projects fail. In the US and UK alone, £58 billion has been lost through technology-related troubles.
Crash is the first book to piece together in remarkable detail what went wrong in some of the world's biggest computer failures. It describes the ten common factors found in most if not all disasters.

Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet Date: 1998 Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins Of The Internet

Amazon.com Review
Considering that the history of the Internet is perhaps better documented internally than any other technological construct, it is remarkable how shadowy its origins have been to most people, including die-hard Net-denizens!

At last, Hafner and Lyon have written a well-researched story of the origins of the Internet substantiated by extensive interviews with its creators who delve into many interesting details such as the controversy surrounding the adoption of our now beloved "@" sign as the separator of usernames and machine addresses. Essential reading for anyone interested in the past -- and the future -- of the Net specifically, and telecommunications generally. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Publishers Weekly
Hafner, coauthor of Cyberpunk, and Lyon, assistant to the president of the University of Texas, here unveil the Sputnik-era beginnings of the Internet, the groundbreaking scientific work that created it and the often eccentric, brilliant scientists and engineers responsible. Originally funded during the Eisenhower administration by IPTO (Information Processing Techniques Office) within the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), ARPANET, the Internet's predecessor, was devised as a way to share far-flung U.S. computer resources at a time when computers were wildly expensive, room-sized bohemoths unable to communicate with any other. The husband-and-wife writing team profile the computer engineering firm of Bolt Baranek and Newman, which produced the original prototypes for ARPANET, and they profile the men (there were virtually no women) and an alphabet soup of agencies, universities and software that made the Internet possible. And while the book attempts to debunk the conventional notion that ARPANET was devised primarily as a communications link that could survive nuclear war (essentially it was not), pioneer developers like Paul Baran (who, along, with British Scientist Donald Davies devised the Internet's innovative packet-switching message technology) recognized the importance of an indestructible message medium in an age edgy over the prospects of global nuclear destruction. The book is excellent at enshrining little known but crucial scientist/administrators like Bob Taylor, Larry Roberts and Joseph Licklider, many of whom laid the groundwork for the computer science industry.

Assembly Lines: The Book - A Beginner's Guide to 6502 Programming on the Apple II Date: 1982 Assembly Lines: The Book - A Beginner's Guide to 6502 Programming on the Apple II

Introduction

One often gets the impression that programming in assembly language is some very difficult and obscure technique used only by those advanced programmers. As it happens, assembly language is merely different, and if you have successfully used Integer or Applesoft Basic to do some programming, there's no reason why you can't use assembly language to your advantage in your own programs.
This book will take a rather unorthodox approach to explaining assembly programming. Because you are presumably somewhat familiar with Basic, we will draw many parallels between various assembly language techniques and their Basic counterparts. An important factor in learning anything new is a familiar framework in which to fit the new information. Your knowledge of Basic will provide that framework.

This book contains papers presented at the Symposium on Computational Logic held during the 7th ESPRIT Conference. Ten leading researchers in computational logic were invited to contribute papers. The papers range from some on specialized research topics to some which give an overview and a glimpse into the future of computational logic. A major theme of the symposium was the likely future impact of computational logic, and there was a panel session on the topic "Programming in 2010: the Role of Computational Logic". The position papers of the panelists are included in the book. The book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in logic programming, database systems, artificial intelligence, and software engineering. This volume is the first of the ESPRIT Basic Research Series. The ESPRIT Basic Research efforts aim at forging strong links between European academic and industrial teams carrying out research, often interdisciplinary, at the forefront of information technology. The quality of content of this series and its broad distribution should have a major impact in making these advances accessible to both academic and industrial researchers.

This is a book for everyone who owns a micro. It is aimed at those users who want more than a games machine and wish to put their micro to work. It shows how a database, a spreadsheet and a word processor can help you in many different ways.

Using everyday examples based on his extensive experience the author explains how a database can be of help in running your home, in extending your hobbies, in taking away the drudge of pen, paper and book.

Word processing - the magic talisman to solve your problems or so the advertisements tell you. But many people dabble and find a whirlpool of inexplicable symbols and cryptic jargon. It need not be so.

How many of us need spreadsheets and financial planning? We all deal with money and figures. A simple knowledge of how to manipulate money inside your micro can lessen the drudgery of these essential tasks.

Amazon Reviews:

"When I was first charged with the lightning bolt of the promise of software possibilities, I found this book. It helped me see how to view a microprocessor's capability in a comfortable, natural progression of understanding. It provided me what I wanted to know where I expected to find it. The references to related information, missing in most documentation, always seemed to be both appropriate and conveniently located. It was as if Zaks knew my own, unique desire to learn and how it naturally unfolded. It felt as though he had prepared each of the steps that I would need by having been where I was. It served me tirelessly as a reference until it fell apart. Books of this type are hard to find today."

"When I was first starting to program I came across this book. It was not only a well written, complete reference on the Z-80, it was a perfect reference book. Now, when I program, I generally need several reference books hanging around. Mr. Zaks said it all, cleanly, concisely. Any success I had in my later programming, I have always felt that his book was at the core."

A review by Glen Compton    
"This book does require a little bit of previous experience in assembly, but only a little as it has a VERY extensive warm up on programming. It is a great book for dabbling in Atari or NES homebrew, and sheds light on more complicated techniques, without being overly specific of a particular hardware setup.
If you read some basics of the hardware you want to work on, this book will take your work to new heights. it even gives great techniques for reducing memory use and/or processor use (which is extremely important on legacy architectures.)
If there is one book you can buy to improve your 6502 knowledge and programming techniques, this is it!
Seriously, avoid other books on the 6502 until you've read this!!!"

Apple Graphics and Arcade Game Design for Apple II.

A programmer's ability to create Apple graphics can be compared to an artist’s ability with a sketchpad or an animator’s skill with animation. Each in their own way creates images that are in some way entertaining. The viewer, however, is only interested in the final effect, not the tedious technical process that the artist or programmer had to apply to produce that effect. The Apple II is a wonderful graphics tool, but unfortunately highly complex to use at any level other than Applesoft BASIC. The scattered magazine articles covering Apple graphics have shown the machine’s complexity without
presenting an adequate solution to the problem of graphics programming concepts. Those who understand the process and have mastered it are too busy writing programs to share their knowledge.
Magical references like “Raster Graphics” and “Bit Mapping” are spoken of as if they are secret techniques practiced only by the top programmers. Their games, such as “Raster Blaster”, “Galaxian”, “Sneakers”, and “PacMan” have both awed wishful game designers and shown them the limitations of their own programming techniques.
This book will allow you to enter the world of Apple graphics, in which your most imaginative ideas can be animated. The various chapters will attempt to present a comprehensive course in Hi-Res graphics and high speed arcade animation. The major part of this material requires the ability to do assembly language programming.

Sharpe, W.F. and Jacob, N.L.  BASIC An Introduction to Computer Programming Using the BASIC Language  Third edition  (Free Press, 1979)



"This book is designed to allow the user to think of a computer as if the latter understands the BASIC language. Thus no details of any of the supporting systems are included. This makes the book particularly suited for those unable to use a computer system, because it allows them to concentrate on the computational and logical properties of a high-level computer language with relatively little concern for clerical details".

LISP 1.5 Programmer's Manual Date: 15th August 1962 LISP 1.5 Programmer's Manual

Language: English
ISBN-10: 0262130114
Product Dimensions: 9.9 x 6.9 x 0.3 inches

The manual describes LISP, a formal mathematical language. LISP differs from most programming languages in three important ways. The first way is in the nature of the data.

The LISP language is designed primarily for symbolic data processing used for symbolic calculations in differential and integral calculus, electrical circuit theory, mathematical logic, game playing, and other fields of artificial intelligence.The manual describes LISP, a formal mathematical language. LISP differs from most programming languages in three important ways. The first way is in the nature of the data. In the LISP language, all data are in the form of symbolic expressions usually referred to as S-expressions, of indefinite length, and which have a branching tree-type of structure, so that significant subexpressions can be readily isolated. In the LISP system, the bulk of the available memory is used for storing S-expressions in the form of list structures. The second distinction is that the LISP language is the source language itself which specifies in what way the S-expressions are to be processed. Third, LISP can interpret and execute programs written in the form of S-expressions. Thus, like machine language, and unlike most other high level languages, it can be used to generate programs for further executions.

This book by Mike Lord is not intended as a beginners guide to BASIC. Neither is it an introduction to the ZX81. Instead it carries the reader on from where the ZX81 BASIC Manual leaves off; by giving the reader a variety of programs to run, and - more importantly - a wealth of detailed information about the computer and how to get the best out of it. Whether your interests lie in games programs, in the business or engineering applications of the ZX81, or even in attacking it with a soldering iron, you should find something of interest and value in these pages.

Paperback copy

This book, published in 1980, explores British computing from the 1930s to the 1960s, covering both technical and general historical aspects of the story.

From the blurb:

'Much of the pioneering work on modern computers took place in Britain between 1945 and 1955, including such landmarks as the world's first stored-program computer, the first commercially available computer, and the first transistorised computer.  This book tells the story of these and other machines and their designers.  Beginning with a survey of computing in the 1930s, it includes secret wartime developments, post-war research in universities and government establishments, and the work of companies such as Elliott Brothers, English Electric, Ferranti and Lyons in the 1950s.  From here the growth of an indigenous computer industry is traced up to the period of merger and consolidation in the early 1960s.  Contemporary American developments highlight the interplay of ideas on both sides of the Atlantic.'

An Introduction to Automatic Computers Date: 1963 An Introduction to Automatic Computers

Second Edition

Amazon Review:
This is a very interesting book for anyone who is involved in today's world of IT but has been around to remember the days before PC's and Microsoft - back when computers were big mysterious devices most of us never saw and certainly didn't work with. The author begins the book with a discussion of just what is an 'automatic computer', what it can do, and how it can be of use to a company.

The computing industry was so small and limited at the time of this book's writing that a huge amount of the computer industry can be well-covered by it. It is hard to describe this book but it deals with everything from application to hardware to programming. It gives detailed specs for the various computers available at the time, right down to the address and phone number of the vendor. It tells whether each can be bought or leased, the physical specs of size and weight, the spare parts list, power requirements, and the amount of time it takes to get it in place and installed. The book covers operating systems, data storage, input and output devices. It tells how to introduce a computer into your company and to deal with the human fallout, how to shift people around in their jobs and keep their support. There are some photographs of vintage equipment and work areas which are really neat too.

Apple computers have been around a long time, yet there always seem to be new discoveries which can be made about them, There are hundreds of games for the Apple, but still people are interested in new games — games which will provide them with more fun than other games they've played, and games which will show them new programming techniques to apply to their own work. Over the past two years, we’ve had a lot of fun writing programs for the Apple, and in this book we've brought the results of those two years to you. We hope you will have as much fun playing these games as we have had writing them, and that you’ll pick up a few ideas for your own programming and games writing. Whether you want brain-stretching entertainment, or you’re more interested in 1 shoot-em-ups', you’ll find your interests have been catered for. Have fun!

The Myth of the Micro Date: 1980 The Myth of the Micro

This book, published in 1980 at the dawn of the microprocessor age, describes the microprocessor from a technical and societal standpoint.  It aims to debunk various myths that sprung up around microprocessors.

From the blurb:

'DON'T BE FOOLED BY TECHNOFEAR

Will silicon chips revolutionise our lifestyles, turn industry upside down and create mammoth unemployment? Will they dominate our future?

Or are microprocessors just the latest gimmicky showpiece of an expanding technology.  The latest refinement of computer science - vital - but in a limited field?

THE MYTH OF THE MICRO takes you behind the extravagant theories to the heart of the technology itself.

DON'T LET A MICROCHIP SCARE YOU UNTIL YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IT IS...'

The book was written by Ian Williamson and Rodney Dale, both of whom have previously been trustees of the Centre for Computing History.  They have both signed the first page.

 Program Design and Data Structures in Pascal Date: March 1986 Program Design and Data Structures in Pascal

Language: English
ISBN-13: 978-0534062941

This text introduces students - slowly, carefully and in a step-by-step fashion - to the use of data-structuring techniques in the design and implementation of large programming projects. The author combines a conceptual approach with practical programming assignments using the notion of the abstract data type as the key design principle. After reading Reynolds' book, students will be able to think about data types as abstract objects, develop new conceptual skills to visualize larger programs (especially ones managing complex data structures) and develop good programming habits. Included in this text are numerous large programming projects and every chapter contains a major project; each is thoroughly described, a top-down design is discussed, and the procedure/function of the ultimate Pascal program is explained. Numerous examples and illustrations help students understand difficult concepts. This book should be of interest to degree and diploma students on introductory courses in program design using Pascal.

Mac OS X Tiger for Dummies Date: 2005 Mac OS X Tiger for Dummies

Mac OS X Tiger for Dummies for Apple Macintosh
"Fully updated! Covers the new features of Mac OS X v10.4"
Mac OS X Tiger For Dummies is divided into five logical parts:

Part I: Introducing Mac OS X
This first part is very, very basic training. From the mouse to the Desktop, from menus, windows, and icons to the snazzy-but-helpful Dock, it’s all here. A lot of what you need to know to navigate the depths of Mac OS X safely and sanely will be found in this section. And although old-timers may just want to skim through it, you newcomers should probably read every word. Twice.
Part II: Rounding Out Your Basic Training
In this part, I build on the basics of Part I and really get you revving with your Mac. Here I cover additional topics that every Mac user needs to know, coupled with some hands-on, step-by-step instruction. It starts with a closer look at the program you’ll be using most, the OS X Finder, followed by a chapter about how to open and save files (a skill you’re sure to find handy). Next comes a chapter about managing your files for maximum efficiency followed by a quick look at using removable media (which means ejectable disks — CDs, DVDs, and even oldies but goodies such as Zip drives). Last, but certainly not least, is a chapter about the importance of backing up your data — and how to do it painlessly.
Part III: Doing Stuff with Your Mac
This part is chock-full of ways to do cool stuff with your Mac. In this section, you’ll discover the Internet first — how to get it working on your Mac, and what to do with it after you do. Next, I show you the ins and outs of printing under OS X. You also read about some of the more important OS X-related applications and features, plus how to make your Tiger look and feel just the way you like it. That’s all followed by the lowdown on the Classic Environment, and possibly the most useful chapter in the whole book, Chapter 13, which details each and every gosh-darned System Preference, filled with useful observations and recommendations.
Part IV: Networking and Troubleshooting
Here I get into the nitty-gritty underbelly of Mac OS X, where I cover somewhat more advanced topics, such as file sharing, creating and using multiple users (and why you might want to), and the all-important troubleshooting
chapter, Chapter 15.

Part V: The Part of Tens
Finally, it’s The Part of Tens, which may have started life as a Letterman ripoff, although it does include heaping helpings of tips, optional software, great Mac Web sites, and hardware ideas.
The Appendix
Last, but certainly not least, I cover installing Mac OS X Tiger in the Appendix. The whole process has become quite easy with this version of the system software, but if you have to install Tiger yourself, it would behoove you to read
this helpful Appendix first.

In 1987, home working was a novelty instituted by people who wanted to enable parents of young children to divide their time more easily between work and home life.

Teleworking has been in operation for twenty five years but it is only recently, through improved communication and more accurate information systems that this way of working has become a possibility for many people. This book looks at the technological, social and organizational trends that have made this possible and, through the use of case studies, examines the advantages and disadvantages of working in this way. In particular it focuses on two of the organisations to pioneer teleworking - ICL and F International.

Digital System Design with LSI Bit-slice Logic Date: 21st May 1980 Digital System Design with LSI Bit-slice Logic

Digital System Design with Large Scale Integration Bit-slice Logic

From the inside cover:

'Bit-slice logic is a recent and exciting development in digital engineering. A powerful and flexible digital building block, it answers the need to apply LSI (large-scale integration) logic to digital systems, particularly designs where other LSI devices - such as microprocessors - are not appropriate.

This book introduces and evaluates the new technology of bit-slice logic, and the related concept of microprogrammed control, and provides advice in evaluating and designing systems with bit-slice devices.'

About the Author

Howard Davies has a First Class Honours degree in Engineering Science and a DPhil from the University of Oxford. From 1964 to 1977, he worked in the Data Handling Division of CERN (European Organization for Nu-clear Research) in Geneva, initially as a Scientific Programmer, later as a Group Leader and Project Manager for CERNnet, CERN’s first general purpose, internal network. Between 1977 and 1993, he was Director of the Computer Unit at the University of Exeter, responsible not only for the provision of computing services to all academic departments within the university but also for the development of services based on the use of JANET (the national research network in the UK) and its successors. During this period, he spent six months sabbatical leave in 1986 as a Visiting Computer Specialist at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, Stanford, California. He acted as (part-time) Director of the Interim COSINE Project Management Unit from 1989 to 1991 and from 1992 to 1994 he was Vice-President of RARE. He was appointed Joint General Manager of DANTE in 1993 and played a prominent role in the implementation across Europe of an increasingly powerful infrastructure to support network-based services. He retired at the end of 2001 having seen the introduction into service of the GÉANT network.


Beatrice Bressan is responsible for the outreach of the TOTEM experiment at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research), Geneva, and is also a science writer. She has more than ten years of experience in the field of scientific and technological communication with extensive experience in journalism, media publishing and public relations. She is a member of the European Union of Science Journalists' Associations (EUSJA). After her university studies in mathematical physics and science communication, she completed her PhD research and carried out a postdoctoral fellowship on knowledge management and knowledge transfer inside CERN for the Department of Physical Sciences at Helsinki University. She has worked with-in the Technology Transfer Group at CERN, taking care of the production of promotional material, at SIB (Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics) as Head of Communications, and at the Department of Physics at Geneva University, being responsible for their communications. Through her work, she aims to give a better understanding of complex scientific and technological topics for politicians, industrialists and the general public.

Zortech C Date: 1988 Zortech C

Zortech Ltd was a small British software company that marketed C and C++ compilers and associated software. The company was initially formed with the name Zorland Ltd to reflect its desire to be a direct competitor of Borland Inc. This was later changed to Zortech Ltd to avoid confusion.

Once established with a European market for their software, they created a sister company in the United States, Zortech Inc. At the same time the parent company was renamed again to Zortech International Ltd to reflects its expanded market. The company was eventually taken over in 1991 by Symantec Inc who wanted access to their compiler technology.

Zortech C Compiler is a fast optimising compiler for MS-DOS machines. The C compiler was known, in different times, as Datalight C compiler, then Zorland C and then Zortech C. The C++ compiler was known as Zortech C++ (the first commercial C++ compiler for Windows), later Symantec C++ and now Digital Mars C++ (DMC++).
