Beej's Guide to Network ProgrammingBack in the mid 90s, Beej got tired of all his friends asking him how to do this stuff with networking programming in C, so he put pen to paper on the early World Wide Web and wrote down everything he knew just to get them off his back. Since then, the Guide has expanded significantly, with plenty of examples, and covers IPv6. Inside you'll find such diverse topics as: Sockets programming in the C programming language, client/server, IPv4 and IPv6, data encoding, lots of manual pages rewritten in a friendlier format with examples, and goats! Actually no goats, but goats will be with you in spirit! ...
Coding Roblox Games Made Easy, 2nd EditionRoblox is a huge entertainment platform like no other for both playing and creating games. With over 200 million monthly active users, Roblox has enabled new and experienced developers to create successful games, often called experiences, that can be played globally at no cost.
Coding Roblox Games Made Easy, 2nd Edition, builds a solid foundation of the concepts you need to embark on the journey of building two end-to-end games in Roblox in increasing order of complexity.
For the first game, you will create obstacles and traps for an obstacle course game (obby) and overcome them to win the game alongside other players and earn rewards. In the next game, you will manage player avatars, their weapons, a battlefield and add programming logic for the players to find their weapons and fight, with a reward for the last player standing.
Finally, you'll delve into the logistics of game production, focusing on optimizing your games' performance by implementing impressive mechanics, mon ...

Beej's Guide to C ProgrammingThis is an intro to C for folks who already know how to program in another language. The first half of the book is written in a tutorial style, while the second half is a reference section complete with examples (inspired by the incomparable Turbo C Bible). The goal is to keep this up-to-date with the latest C standards.
This guide assumes that you've already got some programming knowledge under your belt from another language, such as Python, JavaScript, Java, Rust, Go, Swift, etc. (Objective-C devs will have a particularly easy time of it!) ...
Migrating SQL Server Databases to AzureSQL Server is Microsoft's relational database management system (RDBMS). SQL Server can now be hosted entirely in Microsoft Azure, either in a hosted virtual machine (VM) or as a hosted service. Hosting a virtual machine in Azure is known as infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and hosting a service in Azure is known as platform as a service (PaaS). Microsoft's hosted version of SQL Server is known as Azure SQL Database or just SQL Database that is optimized for software as a service (SaaS) app development.
This ebook, Microsoft Azure Essentials Migrating SQL Server Databases to Azure, introduces you to SQL Server in an Azure virtual machine and to Azure SQL Database, and walks you through getting started with each approach. It takes you from creating a SQL Server instance in a virtual machine or as a platform service to migrating an on-premises database into Azure and then to securing the data and the database in Azure.
Beyond the explanatory content, each chapter includes one or ...

Programming for Computations - MATLAB/OctaveThis book presents computer programming as a key method for solving mathematical problems. There are two versions of the book, one for MATLAB and one for Python. The book was inspired by the Springer book TCSE 6: A Primer on Scientific Programming with Python (by Langtangen), but the style is more accessible and concise, in keeping with the needs of engineering students. The book outlines the shortest possible path from no previous experience with programming to a set of skills that allows the students to write simple programs for solving common mathematical problems with numerical methods in engineering and science courses. The emphasis is on generic algorithms, clean design of programs, use of functions, and automatic tests for verification. ...
