'What a great novel, its language and storytelling so light but also raw and lyrical. A tremendous writer. Read this book' ADRIAAN VAN DIS. Alan Noland discovers his father's memoirs and learns the truth about the violent man he despised. In this unsparing family history, Alan distils his father's life in the Dutch East Indies into one furious utterance. He reads about his work as an interpreter during the war with Japan, his life as an assassin, and his decision to murder Indonesians in the service of the Dutch without any conscience. How he fled to the Netherlands to escape being executed as a traitor and met Alan's mother soon after. As he reads his father's story Alan begins to understand how war transformed his father into the monster he knew. Birney exposes a crucial chapter in Dutch and European history that was deliberately concealed behind the ideological facade of postwar optimism. Readers of this superb novel will find that it reverberates long afterwards in their memory.

Cadenhead presents a step-by-step tutorial that teaches someone with no previous programming experience how to create simple Java programs and applets. It starts out at a lower level than "Sams Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days, " and takes things at a slower pace, focusing on key programming concepts and essential Java basics.

DESCRIPTION Java is a versatile programming language, ideal for scientific computing due to its robustness, platform independence, and extensive libraries. This book teaches you how to use Java for complex simulations and data analysis, empowering you to solve real-world problems and advance scientific research. This Java programming book offers a thorough guide, starting with core concepts like data types, operators, and object-oriented programming (OOP). It then moves into advanced topics such as multithreading for handling multiple tasks at once, exception handling to manage runtime errors, and package management for organizing large codebases. You will also learn about input/output (I/O) operations to work with external data and applet development for creating small, interactive web programs. Building on your knowledge of Java programming and scientific computing, this book is a complete guide that equips you to delve into scientific computing and actively participate in innovative research and development. KEY FEATURES ● Learn Java's data structures, algorithms, and numerical libraries. ● Practical examples and exercises to solidify understanding. ● MCQs with solutions are provided at the end of each chapter for practice, along with Bloom's level questions. ● Miscellaneous programs using Java, like Stack, Queue, Tic-tac-toe, AES, and RSA algorithms, and socket programming, are also included. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ● Understand and code with data types, variables, arrays, and strings. ● Learn iterations, conditional statements, and how to apply them. ● Explore OOP with examples. ● Master multithreading for multi-tasking environments. ● Grasp Java exception handling and file management. WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR This book is ideal for professionals in fields such as software development, data analysis, web development, and system administration who need a strong foundation in Java programming.

Programming Languages: Concepts and Implementation teaches language concepts from two complementary perspectives: implementation and paradigms. It covers the implementation of concepts through the incremental construction of a progressive series of interpreters in Python, and Racket Scheme, for purposes of its combined simplicity and power, and assessing the differences in the resulting languages.
