Introduction to Bioinformatics: A Theoretical and Practical Approach

Introduction to Bioinformatics: 

A Theoretical and Practical Approach
Stephen A. Krawetz and David D. Womble
Hu-mana Press | 2003 | ISBN: 1588290646
550 pages | PDF | 11 MB

This text book provides the physical scientist, whether mathematician, computer scientist, statistician or astrophysicist, with a biological framework to understand the questions a life scientist would pose in the context of the computational issues and currently available tools. 

At the same time, it provides the life scientist with a source for the various computational tools now available, along with an introduction to their underlying mathematical foundations. As such, this book can be used as a bridge toward homologation of these fields. By bringing these disciplines together we may
begin our journey toward understanding the nuances of the genetic code.

Computer Graphics Using Java 2D and 3D

Computer Graphics Using Java 2D and 3D
632 Pages | 5.65 MB | CHM

This Java based graphics text introduces advanced graphic features to a student audience mostly trained in the Java language. Its accessible approach and in-depth coverage features the high-level Java 2D and Java 3D APIs–offering an elegant and easy-to-understand presentation of 2D and 3D graphics without compromising the fundamentals of the subject.


The book does a good job of combining the teaching of computer graphics principles with enough of the fundamentals of programming in the Java 2D and Java 3D APIs to make the reader competent in being able to transfer his/her knowledge to other graphics APIs. However, there is just enough of the Java graphical APIs shown to establish basic competency in programming with them, so if what you are really seeking is great ability in Java 2D or Java 3D you should look for other sources of information.

There are lots of Java programs demonstrating graphics principles included, just not a detailed explanation of the APIs involved. The only chapter that is a little off is the last one on additional 3D topics. I'm not sure why a section on sound was included in a text on graphics, other than because Java 3D has a sound engine, although it has always proved somewhat unreliable.

Accelerated C# 2008

Accelerated C# 2008
PDF | 546 Pages | 6.29 MB

In this book, Trey Nash provides a refreshingly clear explanation of the C# language. He not only understands C#, but he is also able to guide the reader through the process of learning to excelin the language. He makes the journey to understanding enjoyable through thought-provoking examples while taking the time to motivate each feature and demonstrate common and best practices.
I am confident that the reader will write better code by reading this book.

The third version of C# really breaks new ground. It blurs the line between code and data. It introduces declarative query syntax. It empowers programmers through functional features. All of
these additions enable programmers to deal with the difficulties of data whether in-memory, in a database, or from a web server. Programmers will find that these features put the fun back in programming.
