      Full-Stack Development from the Ground Up: Principles, Practices, and Technologies addresses the growing need for a comprehensive upper-division computer science textbook that provides in-depth treatment of full-stack web development using the modern web development technologies that students are likely to encounter in industry. Professional full-stack web developers who are capable of developing both the front-end user interfaces and back-end databases and services for dynamic websites are in high demand. The book begins by laying a foundation in HTML, CSS and JavaScript—the building blocks of client-side web development.It then explores one particular web development stack in detail: MERN, which stands for MongoDB, Express.js, React.js and Node.js. Together, these four technologies provide powerful support for full-stack web development in a single programming language—JavaScript. The crucial final step in the web development process is deploying apps to a server, so users can interact with them. This book simplifies deployment by focusing on just one web deployment environment: Amazon Web Services (AWS), and only those AWS tools that are absolutely necessary to deploy MERN applications.

      Antivirus Engines: From Methods to Innovations, Design, and Applications offers an in-depth exploration of the core techniques employed in modern antivirus software. It provides a thorough technical analysis of detection methods, algorithms, and integration strategies essential for the development and enhancement of antivirus solutions. The examples provided are written in Python, showcasing foundational, native implementations of key concepts, allowing readers to gain practical experience with the underlying mechanisms of antivirus technology.The text covers a wide array of scanning techniques, including heuristic and smart scanners, hexadecimal inspection, and cryptographic hash functions such as MD5 and SHA for file integrity verification. These implementations highlight the crucial role of various scanning engines, from signature-based detection to more advanced models like behavioral analysis and heuristic algorithms. Each chapter provides clear technical examples, demonstrating the integration of modules and methods required for a comprehensive antivirus system, addressing both common and evolving threats.Beyond simple virus detection, the content illustrates how polymorphic malware, ransomware, and state-sponsored attacks are tackled using multi-layered approaches. Through these examples, students, researchers, and security professionals gain practical insight into the operation of antivirus engines, enhancing their ability to design or improve security solutions in a rapidly changing threat environment.

      Parallel Programming with OpenACC is a modern, practical guide to implementing dependable computing systems. The book explains how anyone can use OpenACC to quickly ramp-up application performance using high-level code directives called pragmas. The OpenACC directive-based programming model is designed to provide a simple, yet powerful, approach to accelerators without significant programming effort. Author Rob Farber, working with a team of expert contributors, demonstrates how to turn existing applications into portable GPU accelerated programs that demonstrate immediate speedups. The book also helps users get the most from the latest NVIDIA and AMD GPU plus multicore CPU architectures (and soon for Intel® Xeon Phi™ as well). Downloadable example codes provide hands-on OpenACC experience for common problems in scientific, commercial, big-data, and real-time systems. Topics include writing reusable code, asynchronous capabilities, using libraries, multicore clusters, and much more. Each chapter explains how a specific aspect of OpenACC technology fits, how it works, and the pitfalls to avoid. Throughout, the book demonstrates how the use of simple working examples that can be adapted to solve application needs.

      In its modern form, the computer is only about 40 years old. And so is the job of the computer programmer. This book is a critical history of programming, written to give programmers and analysts in the commercial application field a more pragmatic insight into the background of their profession. It tells the story of why the technology evolved as it did, and how Fifth Generation techniques are already changing the situation.As well as charting the real advances and the passing fashions, this unusual book looks at the situation in perspective, drawing some sad and maybe surprising conclusions while discussing questions such as ``Is programming a job for human beings?'' ``Is it High Noon for the world of programming?''
