Beginning Ring Programming
Gain a gentle introduction to the world of Ring programming with clarity as a first concern using a lot of practical examples. The first part lays the foundations of the language and its basic features (data types, control structures, functions, and classes). The unique way to rigorously structure Ring programs is also explained. Then, in the second part you'll discover Ring inputs, outputs, and what is in between. You'll use the basic constructs of computer logic (sequence, selection, and iteration) to build simple and complex logic flows. You'll go over the common mistakes that lead to code complexity, by example, and cover several strategies to solve them (refactoring, code cleansing, and good variable naming). Then, you'll see a visual illustration of how Ring deals with scopes at the local, object, and global levels. In part three, you'll play with two artifacts vital to Ring programming: functions and objects. You'll learn how they can be composed to solve a problem and ho ...

Learn Programming
This book is aimed at readers who are interested in software development but have very little to no prior experience. The book focuses on teaching the core principles around software development. It uses several technologies to this goal (e.g. C, Python, JavaScript, HTML, etc.) but is not a book about the technologies themselves. The reader will learn the basics (or in some cases more) of various technologies along the way, but the focus is on building a foundation for software development. The book is your guided tour through the programming jungle, aiming to provide some clarity and build the foundation for software development skills. ...

XcalableMP PGAS Programming Language
XcalableMP is a directive-based parallel programming language based on Fortran and C, supporting a Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) model for distributed memory parallel systems. This open book presents XcalableMP language from its programming model and basic concept to the experience and performance of applications described in XcalableMP.? XcalableMP was taken as a parallel programming language project in the FLAGSHIP 2020 project, which was to develop the Japanese flagship supercomputer, Fugaku, for improving the productivity of parallel programing. XcalableMP is now available on Fugaku and its performance is enhanced by the Fugaku interconnect, Tofu-D. The global-view programming model of XcalableMP, inherited from High-Performance Fortran (HPF), provides an easy and useful solution to parallelize data-parallel programs with directives for distributed global array and work distribution and shadow communication. The local-view programming adopts coarray notation from Co ...

Java-Based Real-Time Programming
Development of embedded software has for some years mainly been carried out by hardware-aware programming using the C-language, and in some cases even in assembly languages. This works well in simple cases when the application demands and the hardware are known at design time, and the size of the (statically defined) software is small. When applications increase in size and must be rapidly developed (time to market), and perhaps need to be on-line upgradeable, more programming support is needed. In particular, for critical applications (safety critical as in an airplane, mission critical as in space/military/nuclear tasks, economically critical if the survival of the company depends on the reliability of the computer system, etc.) special measures must be taken to limit the possible (faulty) influences of one software function on another part of the system. Therefore, we have to abandon programming in C or C++ for large/complex systems. Instead, we have to base the core development on ...
