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 ...

Object-Oriented Python
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a paradigm that combines data and code into cohesive units, allowing you to think differently about computational problems and solve them in a highly reusable way. Aimed at intermediate-level programmers, Object-Oriented Python is a hands-on tutorial that goes deep into the core tenets of OOP, showing you how to use encapsulation, polymorphism, and inheritance to write games and apps using Python. The book begins by demonstrating key problems inherent in procedural programming, then guides you through the basics of creating classes and objects in Python. You'll build on this groundwork by developing buttons, text fields, and other GUI elements that are standard in event-driven environments. You'll also use many real-world code examples and two pygame-based packages to help turn theory into practice, enabling you to easily write interactive games and applications complete with GUI widgets, animations, multiple scenes, and reusable game logic.
