Mastering VMware Horizon 8
Learn all about designing, installing, configuring, and managing VMware Horizon, with a core focus on how to deliver virtual desktops using Horizon. This book allows you to follow the complete process for deploying VMware Horizon and covers the design, deployment, and management of solutions. You'll start by reviewing remote solutions, from virtual desktops to published applications, including the benefits and what the different solutions deliver. Once through the high-level technology you'll then look at the VMware Horizon solution focusing on the architecture and the components that make up the solution and how to design a production-ready environment. Other VMware EUC technologies that complement the core Horizon solution will also be incorporate into it. Armed with the knowledge of how to design a solution, you'll move onto the installation phase and start to build a test lab environment.

Blazor, A Beginners Guide
Blazor, A Beginners Guide is intended for developers with some .NET experience. If you're coming from a non-.NET development background, you may learn some .NET basics along the way, but supplemental material around C# and .NET would be of great help to you. The book begins with the author's own perspective on WebAssembly, why it's important to have choices in web development and offers some insight on why Blazor was created. You'll then step through an overview where you'll get familiar with the framework and technology stack. As the book progresses you will see working examples that teach core concepts broadly. Later in the book, topics that require a deeper knowledge are revisited to grasp the fine details so you can make informed decisions about how your apps and components are built. The intent of the book's layout is to get you productive quickly. You should be able to navigate and create Blazor projects with ease as you read through the chapters versus having to complete t ...

The Art of 64-Bit Assembly
Randall Hyde's The Art of Assembly Language has long been the go-to guide for learning assembly language. In this long-awaited follow-up, Hyde presents a 64-bit rewrite of his seminal text. It not only covers the instruction set for today's x86-64 class of processors in-depth (using MASM), but also leads you through the maze of assembly language programming and machine organization by showing you how to write code that mimics operations in high-level languages. Beginning with a "quick-start" chapter that gets you writing basic ASM applications as rapidly as possible, Hyde covers the fundamentals of machine organization, computer data representation and operations, and memory access. He'll teach you assembly language programming, starting with basic data types and arithmetic, progressing through control structures and arithmetic to advanced topics like table lookups and string manipulation. In addition to the standard integer instruction set, the book covers the x87 FPU, single-instr ...

Beginning Scala 3, 3rd Edition
Learn the latest version of Scala through simple, practical examples. This book introduces you to the Scala programming language, its object-oriented and functional programming characteristics, and then guides you through Scala constructs and libraries that allow you to assemble small components into high-performance, scalable systems. Beginning Scala 3 explores new Scala 3 language features such as Top-level declarations, Creator applications, Extension methods to add extra functionality to existing types, and Enums. You will also learn new ways to manipulate types via Union types, intersection, literal, and opaque type aliases. Additionally, you'll see how Implicits are replaced by given and using clauses. After reading this book, you will understand why Scala is judiciously used for critical business applications by leading companies such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, the Guardian, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, UBS, and HSBC - and you will be able to use it in your own pr ...

C++ Software Interoperability for Windows Programmers
Get up-to-speed quickly and connect modern code written in C#, R, and Python to an existing codebase written in C++. This book for practitioners is about software interoperability in a Windows environment from C++ to languages such as C#, R, and Python. Using a series of example projects, the book demonstrates how to connect a simple C++ codebase packaged as a static or dynamic library to modern clients written in C#, R, and Python. The book shows you how to develop the in-between components that allow disparate languages to communicate. This book addresses a fundamental question in software design: given an existing C++ codebase, how does one go about connecting that codebase to clients written in C#, R, and Python? How is the C++ functionality exposed to these clients? One answer may be to rewrite the existing codebase in the target language. This is rarely, if ever, feasible and this book's goal is to save you the pain and the high cost of throwing out valuable existing code by ...

Command-Line Rust
For several consecutive years, Rust has been voted "most loved programming language" in Stack Overflow's annual developer survey. This open source systems programming language is now used for everything from game engines and operating systems to browser components and virtual reality simulation engines. But Rust is also an incredibly complex language with a notoriously difficult learning curve. Rather than focusing on the language as a whole, this guide teaches Rust using a single small, complete, focused program in each chapter. Author Ken Youens-Clark shows you how to start, write, and test each of these programs to create a finished product. You'll learn how to handle errors in Rust, read and write files, and use regular expressions, Rust types, structs, and more. Discover how to: Use Rust's standard libraries and data types such as numbers, strings, vectors, structs, Options, and Results to create command-line programs; Write and test Rust programs and functions; Read and wri ...
