Beginning C for Arduino is written for those who have no prior experience with microcontrollers or programming but would like to experiment and learn both. This book introduces you to the C programming language, reinforcing each programming structure with a simple demonstration of how you can use C to control the Arduino family of microcontrollers. Author Jack Purdum uses an engaging style to teach good programming techniques using examples that have been honed during his 25 years of university teaching. Beginning C for Arduino will teach you: The C programming language How to use C to control a microcontroller and related hardware How to extend C by creating your own library routines During the course of the book, you will learn the basics of programming, such as working with data types, making decisions, and writing control loops. You'll then progress onto some of the trickier aspects of C programming, such as using pointers effectively, working with the C preprocessor, and tackling file I/O. Each chapter ends with a series of exercises and review questions to test your knowledge and reinforce what you have learned.

If you've ever wondered how to build your own programming language or wanted to learn C but weren't sure where to start, this is the book for you. In under 1000 lines of code you'll start building your very own programming language, and in doing so learn how to program in C, one of the world's most important programming languages. Along the way we'll learn about the weird and wonderful nature of Lisps, the unique techniques behind function programming, the methods used to concisely solve problems, and the art of writing beautiful code. Build Your Own Lisp is a fun and creative journey through a fascinating area of computer science, and an essential read for any programmer, new or old!

C is the programming language of choice when speed and reliability are required. It is used for many low-level tasks, such as device drivers and operating-system programming. For example, much of Windows and Linux is based on C programming. The updated 4th edition of Beginning C builds on the strengths of its predecessors to offer an essential guide for anyone who wants to learn C or desires a ‘brush-up’ in this compact, fundamental language. This classic from author, lecturer and respected academic Ivor Horton is the essential guide for anyone looking to learn the C language from the ground up.

This book gives a good start and complete introduction for C# Programming for Beginner’s. While reading this book it is fun and easy to read it. This book is best suitable for first time C# readers, Covers all fast track topics of C# for all Computer Science students and Professionals. This book is targeted toward those who have little or no programming experience or who might be picking up C# as a second language. The book has been structured and written with a purpose: to get you productive as quickly as possible. I’ve used my experiences in writing applications with C# and teaching C# to create a book that I hope cuts through the fluff and teaches you what you need to know. All too often, authors fall into the trap of focusing on the technology rather than on the practical application of the technology. I’ve worked hard to keep this book focused on teaching you practical skills that you can apply immediately toward a development project. This book is divided into ten Chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of developing applications with C#. These parts generally follow the flow of tasks you’ll perform as you begin creating your own programs with C#. I recommend that you read them in the order in which they appear. Using C#, this book develops the concepts and theory of Building the Program Logic and Interfaces analysis, Exceptions, Delegates and Events and other important things in a gradual, step-by-step manner, proceeding from concrete examples to abstract principles. Standish covers a wide range of both traditional and contemporary software engineering topics. This is a handy guide of sorts for any computer science engineering Students, Thinking In C# Programming is a solution bank for various complex problems related to C# and .NET. It can be used as a reference manual by Computer Science Engineering students. This Book also covers all aspects of B.TECH CS, IT, and BCA and MCA, BSC IT. Preview introduced programmers to a new era called functional programming. C# focused on bridging the gap between programming languages and databases. This book covers all the language features from the first version through C# . It also provides you with the essentials of using Visual Studio 2005 to let you enjoy its capabilities and save you time by using features such as IntelliSense. Learning a new programming language can be intimidating. If you’ve never programmed before, the act of typing seemingly cryptic text to produce sleek and powerful applications probably seems like a black art, and you might wonder how you’ll ever learn everything you need to know. The answer is, of course, one step at a time. The first step to learning a language is the same as that of any other activity: building confidence. Programming is part art and part science. Although it might seem like magic, it’s more akin to illusion: After you know how things work a lot of the mysticism goes away, freeing you to focus on the mechanics necessary to produce any given desired result. Chapter 1 (Introduction To C# AND .NET) Chapter 2 (Your First Go at C# Programming) Chapter 3 (C# Data Types)’ Chapter 4 (Building the Program Logic) Chapter 5 (Using Classes) Chapter 6 (Function Members) Chapter 7 (Structs, Enums, and Attributes) Chapter 8 (Interfaces) Chapter 9 (Exceptions) Chapter 10 (Delegates and Events)
