Textbook. The textbook Algorithms, 4th Edition by Robert Sedgewick and Kevin Wayne [ Amazon · Pearson · InformIT ] surveys the most important algorithms and data structures in use today. The textbook is organized into six chapters: Chapter 1: Fundamentals introduces a scientific and engineering basis for comparing algorithms and making predictions. It also includes our programming model. Chapter 2: Sorting considers several classic sorting algorithms, including insertion sort, mergesort, and quicksort. It also includes a binary heap implementation of a priority queue. Chapter 3: Searching describes several classic symbol table implementations, including binary search trees, red-black trees, and hash tables. Chapter 4: Graphs surveys the most important graph processing problems, including depth-first search, breadth-first search, minimum spanning trees, and shortest paths. Chapter 5: Strings investigates specialized algorithms for string processing, including radix sorting, substring search, tries, regular expressions, and data compression. Chapter 6: Context highlights connections to systems programming, scientific computing, commercial applications, operations research, and intractability.

The release of Windows 8.1 is going to overpower Windows 8 very soon. The fundamental problem faced by every user with Windows 8 is that the modern interface of the Start screen works best on a Tablet instead on a PC. Also, there are other problems related to screen is available with Windows 8. Thus, the entry of Windows 8.1 overcomes the problems of Windows 8. Here in this tutorial, let's discuss about Windows 8.1.

With every innovation of e-commerce, consumers are exposed to new security risks. Talking about U.S. e-commerce sales, it is expected to grow about 12 percent in 2013. Thus, making transactions safe online is a quite difficult job now. In this tutorial, we are introducing five fundamental security tips which you should keep in mind for embracing this dynamic industry.

One of the difficulties students have in introductory computer science courses is understanding the dynamic complexities of several computer science basics. One reason that students have difficulty grasping these fundamental concepts is that these basics are processes, which textbooks and lectures cannot always adequately demonstrate. In this series of modules...

Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to create images, animations, and interactions. Initially developed to serve as a software sketchbook and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context, Processing also has evolved into a tool for generating finished professional work. Today, there are tens of thousands of students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists who use Processing for learning, prototyping, and production. » Free to download and open source » Interactive programs using 2D, 3D or PDF output » OpenGL integration for accelerated 3D » For GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows » Projects run online or as double-clickable applications » Over 100 libraries extend the software into sound, video, computer vision, and more... » Well documented, with many books available

Guido van Robot, or GvR for short, is a programming language and free software application designed to introduce beginners to the fundamentals of programming. GvR runs on Windows, Macintosh, and GNU/Linux, in a variety of languages! It's great in both the classroom and the home as a way of introducing people to the basic concepts of programming.

This unit aims to teach students the fundamentals of games programming using Kodu, which is a visual game development environment. Using Kodu students will understand how to build a world and program characters and objects before moving on to designing their own games. Each lesson has a PowerPoint file that outlines the tasks.

NumPy is the fundamental package needed for scientific computing with Python. It contains among other things: - a powerful N-dimensional array object- sophisticated (broadcasting) functions- tools for integrating C/C++ and Fortran code- useful linear algebra, Fourier transform, and random number capabilities.
