PDF | 424 pages | 17 MB/28 MB

 Hello! Python fully covers the building blocks of Python programming and gives you a gentle introduction to more advanced topics such as object-oriented programming, functional programming, network programming, and program design. New (or nearly new) programmers will learn most of what they need to know to start using Python immediately.

 Programmers love Python because it's fast and efficient. Shouldn't learning Python be just the same? Hello! Python starts quickly and simply, with a line of Python code. You'll learn the basics the right way--by writing your own programs. Along the way, you'll get a gentle introduction to more advanced concepts and new programming styles.>

 No experience with Python needed. Exposure to another programming language is helpful but not required.

 What Makes Hello! Python special

 Learn Python fast Even if you've never written a line of code before, you'll be writing real Python apps in just an hour or two.

 Great examples There's something new in every chapter, including games, web programming with Django, databases, and more.

 User Friendly guides Using lots of illustrations and a down-to-earth writing style, this book invites you to explore Python along with half-a-dozen travelling companions from the User Friendly cartoon strip.

Foundations of Geometry

Foundations of Geometry 

(2nd Edition) by Gerard Venema

A-on W---y | ISBN: 0136020585 | 2011 

 PDF | 408 pages | 3 MB

Foundations of Geometry, Second Edition is written to help enrich the education of all mathematics majors and facilitate a smooth transition into more advanced mathematics courses. The text also implements the latest national standards and recommendations regarding geometry for the preparation of high school mathematics teachers—and encourages students to make connections between their college courses and classes they will later teach. 

This text's coverage begins with Euclid's Elements, lays out a system of axioms for geometry, and then moves on to neutral geometry, Euclidian and hyperbolic geometries from an axiomatic point of view, and then non-Euclidean geometry. Good proof-writing skills are emphasized, along with a historical development of geometry. The Second Edition streamlines and reorganizes material in order to reach coverage of neutral geometry as early as possible, adds more exercises throughout, and facilitates use of the open-source software Geogebra.

This text is ideal for an undergraduate course in axiomatic geometry for future high school geometry teachers, or for any student who has not yet encountered upper-level math, such as real analysis or abstract algebra. It assumes calculus and linear algebra as prerequisites.

Machine Learning for Hackers

Machine Learning for Hackers

 English | PDF | 20 MB | 322 pages

 If you’re an experienced programmer interested in crunching data, this book will get you started with machine learning—a toolkit of algorithms that enables computers to train themselves to automate useful tasks. Authors Drew Conway and John Myles White help you understand machine learning and statistics tools through a series of hands-on case studies, instead of a traditional math-heavy presentation.

 Each chapter focuses on a specific problem in machine learning, such as classification, prediction, optimization, and recommendation. Using the R programming language, you’ll learn how to analyze sample datasets and write simple machine learning algorithms. Machine Learning for Hackers is ideal for programmers from any background, including business, government, and academic research.

Wi-Fi Security

Wi-Fi Security

Stewart S. Miller 

 Publisher: M+++w-Hill | ISBN: 0071410732 | edition 2003 

 PDF | 332 pages | 13 mb

 Wireless Security is one of the most talked about topics in the information security area. As more and more organizations are migrating from wired to wireless networks, questions surrounding the current status of the WiFi network implementations are emerging. The general opinion of both IT professionals and media outlets is that there is no wireless security, but that is just a superficial look on this technology. Books like the one I'm taking a look at today, clearly show that wireless security is not just about the infamous WEP. But is the book worth buying?

 Strategies to keep every project on time, under budget...and problem-free. More than 50 percent of the work in a typical organization is done in a project format. While each of these projects must be managed, too often the employees named to manage them are given little if any training in the skills they will need to successfully complete the project. The Project Manager's Desk Reference, Second Edition, uses results-oriented language and easy-to-understand examples to detail how you can complete any project on time, within budget, and at the desired performance level.
