1st edition

This classic text provides a broad introduction to the field of computing. Author Stephen Garland uses applications of computing to provide a context in which to develop, apply, and analyze computational techniques. A complete treatment of Pascal is integrated into the text, serving primarily to make the book's coverage concrete rather than abstract.

Lisp (or LISP) is a family of computer programming languages with a long history and a distinctive, fully parenthesized syntax. Originally specified in 1958, Lisp is the second-oldest high-level programming language in widespread use today; only Fortran is older (by one year). Like Fortran, Lisp has changed a great deal since its early days, and a number of dialects have existed over its history

This book provides a lucid introduction to the concepts of object-oriented programming. Twenty chapters introduce topics such as objects, class methods, inheritance (including multiple inheritance), static and dynamic binding, object-oriented design, polymorphism, and encapsulation techniques. The ideas are presented in a language-independent manner and illustrated with examples from four different languages: C++, Smalltalk, Objective-C, and Object Pascal.

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.

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.

With the same style and clarity that characterized their highly acclaimed book, The Elements of Programming Style, the authors have written Software Tools to teach how to write good programs that make good tools. The programs contained in the book are not artificial, but are actual programs - tools which have proved valuable in the production of other programs.

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.

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?
