Programming in Dylan is aimed at programmers who are already familiar with languages such as Pascal or C but who, as yet, have no knowledge of object-oriented languages. The author takes the reader through the development of Dylan by Apple and introduces the concept of object oriented languages, comparing Dylan to other languages such as CLOS, Smalltalk and C++. The author looks at fundamental concepts of the Dylan language before moving on to present the basic types (Boolean, vectors, strings etc.). Variables, expressions and assignment, and functions (both named and anonymous) are covered in detail. The Dylan class is introduced in its simple form and generic functions and library classes are discussed in depth. The author shows how modularisation needs to be used if large applications are to be developed and illustrates how to construct program libraries. A simulation and modelling example runs through the book.

"Dylan is a new programming language invented by Apple Computer and developed with Harlequin and other partners. The language is both object-oriented, like C++ and Java, and dynamic, like Smalltalk. Dylan is designed to deliver applications that run efficiently on a wide range of platforms. It also facilitates the rapid development and incremental refinement of prototype programs. Dylan is a good choice for any application, but you will find it particularly useful for complex object-oriented programs, and for programs that may need to be changed "on the fly."" "Public-domain implementations of Dylan are available for most popular computer systems. Harlequin has developed the first complete, commercial implementation of the language - including both compiler and development environment." "Dylan Programming gets you started quickly, with a simple but complete program that lets you experiment with the language. It then leads you progressively through the development of a sample application, illustrating advanced topics such as macros, modules, libraries, inheritance, performance, and exceptions. This book is appropriate for any Dylan implementation. It assumes you can program in a conventional language, but requires no prior knowledge of object-oriented or dynamic techniques."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Practical Goal Programming is intended to allow academics and practitioners to be able to build effective goal programming models, to detail the current state of the art, and to lay the foundation for its future development and continued application to new and varied fields. Suitable as both a text and reference, its nine chapters first provide a brief history, fundamental definitions, and underlying philosophies, and then detail the goal programming variants and define them algebraically. Chapter 3 details the step-by-step formulation of the basic goal programming model, and Chapter 4 explores more advanced modeling issues and highlights some recently proposed extensions. Chapter 5 then details the solution methodologies of goal programming, concentrating on computerized solution by the Excel Solver and LINGO packages for each of the three main variants, and includes a discussion of the viability of the use of specialized goal programming packages. Chapter 6 discusses the linkages between Pareto Efficiency and goal programming. Chapters 3 to 6 are supported by a set of ten exercises, and an Excel spreadsheet giving the basic solution of each example is available at an accompanying website. Chapter 7 details the current state of the art in terms of the integration of goal programming with other techniques, and the text concludes with two case studies which were chosen to demonstrate the application of goal programming in practice and to illustrate the principles developed in Chapters 1 to 7. Chapter 8 details an application in healthcare, and Chapter 9 describes applications in portfolio selection.

Today, software engineers need to know not only how to program effectively but also how to develop proper engineering practices to make their codebase sustainable and healthy. This book emphasizes this difference between programming and software engineering. How can software engineers manage a living codebase that evolves and responds to changing requirements and demands over the length of its life? Based on their experience at Google, software engineers Titus Winters and Hyrum Wright, along with technical writer Tom Manshreck, present a candid and insightful look at how some of the world’s leading practitioners construct and maintain software. This book covers Google’s unique engineering culture, processes, and tools and how these aspects contribute to the effectiveness of an engineering organization. You’ll explore three fundamental principles that software organizations should keep in mind when designing, architecting, writing, and maintaining code: How time affects the sustainability of software and how to make your code resilient over time How scale affects the viability of software practices within an engineering organization What trade-offs a typical engineer needs to make when evaluating design and development decisions

A new generation of innovative software - software that can be built quickly and enhanced over time - requires sophisticated programming tools. Dylan, the latest object-oriented dynamic language, means innovation. Dylan includes garbage collection, type-safety, error recovery, a module system and programmer control over runtime extensibility of programs. The language is object-oriented and dynamic - like Java - yet it also supports static compilation as efficiently as C++. The Dylan Reference Manual is the first complete reference to present all aspects of this unique language. It provides conceptual chapters describing the overall structure and semantics of the language and gives the definition of every class, function, and syntactic construct of the language in detail. You can also examine the BNF for Dylan's syntax and quickly look up new terms in the glossary. Discover how Dylan protects programmers from low-level implementation details while still producing efficient executables; thoroughly integrates object model, syntax, and control structures; avoids multiple ways of doing the same thing by using simple, powerful constructs to achieve several ends; and uses multi-method dispatch to make programs easier to write, easier to understand, and easier to extend. Whether you are a current user of Dylan or are interested in object-oriented programming and modern programming techniques, The Dylan Reference Manual will help you realize the full potential of the object-oriented dynamic revolution.

Use CoffeeScript to Write Better JavaScript Code Than Ever Before! If you can do it in JavaScript, you can do it better in CoffeeScript. And, since CoffeeScript "compiles down" to JavaScript, your code will fit neatly into virtually any web environment. In Programming in CoffeeScript, Mark Bates shows web developers why CoffeeScript is so useful and how it avoids the problems that often make JavaScript code buggy and unmanageable. He guides you through every feature and technique you need to write quality CoffeeScript code and shows how to take advantage of CoffeeScript's increasingly robust toolset. Bates begins with the absolute basics of running and compiling CoffeeScript and then introduces syntax, control structures, functions, collections, and classes. Through same page code comparisons, you'll discover exactly how CoffeeScript improves on JavaScript. Next, you'll put it to work in building applications that are powerful, flexible, maintainable, concise, reliable, and secure. Bates shares valuable tips for better development, illuminating CoffeeScript's hidden gems and warning you about its remaining "rough edges." The book concludes with a start-to-finish application case study showing how to code back-ends and front-ends and integrate powerful frameworks and libraries. Coverage includes Understanding the right ways to compile and execute CoffeeScript Using CoffeeScript's clean syntax to focus on your code, not JavaScript's distractions Working with CoffeeScript's control structures, functions, and arguments Taking full advantage of CoffeeScript's implementation of collections and iterators Leveraging CoffeeScript's full class support to create complex data models Automating common application development tasks with Cake and Cakefiles Configuring Jasmine with CoffeeScript support, and using it to systematically test your code Writing Node.js server-side applications in CoffeeScript Using CoffeeScript to write jQuery and Backbone.js applications Integrating framework code to avoid "reinventing the wheel" Want a better way to create the JavaScript code your web applications need? CoffeeScript is the solution-and this book will help you master it!
