Wind is a flow-based programming language intended for ultra fast performance, and high portability. It's a language meant to be used on embedded systems, or for resource-constrained systems. Wind allows fast, efficient manipulation and processing of dynamically typed data, without using dynamic memory allocation. It supports common collection operations such as mapping, filtering, and reduction. This book details the paradigm of flow-based programming in a new perspective, dealing with optimizing small scale environments for large scale work. The first section of the book covers the fundamentals of flow-based programming relevant to understanding the Wind language. The next section delves into the syntax and type system of Wind. One of the huge advantages of Wind is it uses a compact, byte-sized type system that can write data to files and easily load it again later. This section also covers the commands and flow of source code to optimize programming in Wind. Lastly, the final section covers the implementation of Wind and the techniques used under the hood to ramp up performance and scalability.

Graduate students depend on this series and ask for it by name. Why? For over 30 years, it's been the only one-stop source that supplies all of their information needs. The new editions of this six-volume set contain the most comprehensive information available on more than 1,500 colleges offering over 31,000 master's, doctoral, and professional-degree programs in more than 350 disciplines.New for 1997 -- Non-degree-granting research centers, institutes, and training programs that are part of a graduate degree program.Five discipline-specific volumes detail entrance and program requirements, deadlines, costs, contacts, and special options, such as distance learning, for each program, if available. Each Guide features "The Graduate Adviser", which discusses entrance exams, financial aid, accreditation, and more.Interest in these fields has never been higher! And this is the source to the 3,400 programs currently available -- from bioengineering and computer science to construction management.
