  Tool and object: a history and philosophy of category theory (Science Networks/Historical Studies Series)
Krömer R., Birkhäuser Basel, 2007. 367 pp.  Type: Book (9783764375232)

Category theory (CT) is a theory of structures. Its ideas “have been employed for thousands of years, but they first appeared only as dimly perceived analogies between subjects” [1]. CT is a branch of mathematics th...

  AspectJ in action: practical aspect-oriented programming
Laddad R., Manning Publications Co., Greenwich, CT, 2003. 512 pp.  Type: Book (9781930110939), Reviews: (1 of 2)

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is an emerging paradigm, gaining more and more importance due to the benefits it introduces to conventional programming methodologies. AOP deals with crosscutting concerns, and the concepts it relies o...

  Hall of shame & fame: a pedagogical pattern for computer programming classes
Charão A., Neto A., de O. Stein B., Barcelos P.  PLoP 2016 (Proceedings of the 23rd Conference on Pattern Languages of Programs, Monticello, IL, Oct 24-26, 2016) 1-8, 2016.  Type: Proceedings

If you are looking for an inspired paper about computer programming, you should read this one. The authors skillfully discuss pedagogical patterns dedicated to object-oriented programming in higher-level courses of computer science (CS...

  Encyclopedia of multimedia
Furht B., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2005. 989 pp.  Type: Book (9780387243955)

Weighing in at over 14 pounds and priced at $448, this 989-page monster is the largest and most expensive book that I have ever encountered in 50 years of reviewing computing literature! It is aimed extremely broadly at “anyo...

  Numbers and computers
Kneusel R., Springer Publishing Company, Incorporated, Cham, Switzerland, 2015. 231 pp.  Type: Book (978-3-319172-59-0)

When writing software, we need a full, detailed understanding of how computers work with numbers. Inadequate understanding can have dire consequences. In Numbers and computers, Kneusel mentions two egregious examples: the explos...

  Explorations in computing: an introduction to computer science and Python programming
Conery J., Chapman & Hall/CRC, Boca Raton, FL, 2015. 439 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-466572-44-7)

Despite its subtitle, it would be wrong to consider Explorations in computing a textbook on Python. Instead, this extraordinary textbook on computer science (CS) provides an excellent introduction to a wide range of topics, such...

  Numerical methods in engineering with Python 3
Kiusalaas J., Cambridge University Press, New York, NY, 2013. 440 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-107033-85-6)

Pareto’s principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, has been applied to many different application areas beyond economics. In software development, it seems that 80 percent of program code uses approximately 20 percent of the l...

  Anomaly detection principles and algorithms
Mehrotra K., Mohan C., Huang H., Springer International Publishing, New York, NY, 2017. 217 pp.  Type: Book (978-3-319675-24-4)

Anomaly detection is not only used in cybersecurity and defense, but also in stock markets, finance, and business administration, as well as medicine, astronomy, social networks, fraud, and anti-corruption. This book presents the inter...
