Learn Prolog Now Learn Prolog Now! is an introductory course to programming in Prolog. The online version has been available since 2001, and now there is also a throughly revised version available in book form. We wanted to do two things with this course. First, we wanted to provide a text that was relatively self contained, a text that would permit someone with little or no knowledge of computing to pick up the basics of Prolog with the minimum of fuss. We also wanted the text to be clear enough to make it useful for self study. We believe that if you read the text, and do the associated exercises, you will gain a useful partial entry to the world of Prolog. But only a partial entry, and this brings us to our second point. We want to emphasize the practical aspects of Prolog. Prolog is something you do. You can't learn a programming language simply by reading about it, and if you really want to get the most out of this course, we strongly advise you to get hold of a Prolog interpreter (you'll find pointers to some nice ones on this website) and work through all the Practical Sessions that we provide. And of course, don't stop with what we provide. The more you program, the better you'll get.... We hope you enjoy the course. And whether you're using this book to teach yourself Prolog, or you're using it as the basis for teaching others, we would like to hear from you. Please send us any comments/corrections you have so that we can take them into account in later versions.

Master-PowerShell With Dr. Tobias Weltner # Chapter 1. The PowerShell Console Welcome to PowerShell! This chapter will introduce you to the PowerShell console and show you how to configure it, including font colors and sizes, editing and display options. # Chapter 2. Interactive PowerShell PowerShell has two faces: interactivity and script automation. In this chapter, you will first learn how to work with PowerShell interactively. Then, we will take a look at PowerShell scripts. # Chapter 3. Variables It is time to combine commands whenever a single PowerShell command can't solve your problem. One way of doing this is by using variables. PowerShell can store results of one command in a variable and then pass the variable to another command. In addition, variables are rich 'objects' and can do much more than simply store data. In this chapter, we'll explain what variables are and how you can use them to solve complex problems. # Chapter 4. Arrays and Hashtables No matter how many results a command returns, you can always store the results in a variable because of a clever trick. PowerShell automatically wraps results into an array when there is more than one result. In this chapter, you'll learn how arrays work. You'll also discover a special type of array, a hash table. While normal arrays use a numeric index to access their elements, hash tables use key-value-pairs. # Chapter 5. The PowerShell Pipeline The PowerShell pipeline chains together a number of commands similar to a production assembly. So, one command hands over its result to the next, and at the end, you receive the result. # Chapter 6. Using Objects PowerShell always works with objects. Whenever you output objects into the PowerShell console, PowerShell automatically converts the rich objects into readable text. In this chapter, you will learn what objects are and how to get your hands on PowerShell objects before they get converted to simple text. # Chapter 7. Conditions You'll need a condition first to compose intelligent PowerShell code capable of making decisions. That's why you'll learn in the first part of this Chapter how to formulate questions as conditions. In the second part, you'll employ conditions to execute PowerShell instructions only if a particular condition is actually met. # Chapter 8. Loops Loops are a good example that iterations do not have to be boring. They repeat particular PowerShell statements with the pipeline being one of the areas where you can benefit from loops. Most PowerShell commands wrap their results in arrays, and you'll need a loop when you want to examine single elements in an array more closely. # Chapter 9. Functions PowerShell has the purpose of solving problems, and the smallest tool it comes equipped with for this is commands. By now you should be able to appreciate the great diversity of the PowerShell command repertoire: in the first two chapters, you already learned how to use the built-in PowerShell commands called cmdlets, as well as innumerable external commands, such as ping or ipconfig. In Chapter 6, the objects of the .NET framework, API calls, and COM component statements were added, providing you with a powerful arsenal of commands. In Chapters 3-5, command chains forged out of these countless single commands combined statements either by using variables or the PowerShell pipeline. The next highest level of automation is functions, which are self-defined commands that internally use all of the PowerShell mechanisms you already know, including the loops and conditions covered in the last two chapters. You can also use functions to get the better of the more complex problems that consist of many separate instructions and sequences. # Chapter 10. Scripts PowerShell scripts function like batch files in the traditional console: scripts are text files that can include any PowerShell code. If you run a PowerShell script, PowerShell will read the instructions in it, and then execute them. As a result, scripts are ideal for complex automation tasks. In this chapter, you'll learn how to create and execute scripts. PowerShell makes certain requirements mandatory for their execution because scripts can contain potentially dangerous statements. Depending on the security setting and storage location, scripts must have a digital signature or be specified with their absolute or relative path names. These security aspects will also be covered in this chapter. # Chapter 11. Finding and Avoiding Errors The more complex your commands, pipelines, functions, or scripts become, the more often that errors can creep in. PowerShell has its own remedies for finding and correcting errors at various levels of complexity. In simple cases, use "what-if" scenarios to check whether a command or a pipeline is really doing what you expect it to do. With the help of such scenarios, you can simulate the result of commands without actually executing the commands. You can permit commands to do their work only after you're convinced that the commands will function flawlessly. If you've written your own functions or scripts, PowerShell can also step through the code and halt its execution at locations called breakpoints, which allow you to examine functions or scripts more closely at these locations. You can verify whether variables actually do contain an expected result. Moreover, PowerShell offers you the option of integrating debugging messages into functions or scripts. This enables your code to output progress reports to you at key locations when your code is in the development stage. # Chapter 12. Command Discovery and Scriptblocks In previous chapters you learned step by step how to use various PowerShell command types and mechanisms. After 11 chapters, we have reached the end of the list. You'll now put together everything you've seen. All of it can actually be reduced to just two PowerShell basic principles: command discovery and scriptblocks. The purpose of this chapter is to tie up the many loose ends of previous chapters and to weave them into a larger whole: the basics are complete and the remaining chapters will put the knowledge gained to the test of daily tasks. # Chapter 13. Text and Regular Expressions PowerShell distinguishes sharply between text in single quotation marks and text in double quotation marks. PowerShell won't modify text wrapped in single quotation marks but it does inspect text in single quotation marks and may modify it by inserting variable contents automatically. Enclosing text in double quotation marks is the foremost and easiest way to couple results and descriptions. The formatting operator -f, one of many specialized string operators, offers more options. For example, you can use -f to output text column-by-column and to set it flush. Other string commands are also important. They can replace selected text, change case, and much more. Pattern recognition adds a layer of complexity because it uses wildcard characters to match patterns. In simple cases, you can use the same wildcards that you use in the file system. Substantially more powerful, but also more complex, are regular expressions. # Chapter 14. XML Raw information used to be stored in comma-separated lists or .ini files, but for some years the XML standard has prevailed. XML is an acronym for Extensible Markup Language and is a descriptive language for any structured information. In the past, handling XML was difficult, but PowerShell now has excellent XML support. With its help, you can comfortably wrap data in XML as well as read existing XML files. # Chapter 15. The File System The file system has special importance within the PowerShell console. One obvious reason is that administrators perform many tasks that involve the file system. Another is that the file system is the prototype of a hierarchically structured information system. In coming chapters, you'll see that PowerShell controls other hierarchical information systems on this basis. You can easily apply what you have learned about drives, directories, and files in PowerShell to other areas, including the registry or Microsoft Exchange. # Chapter 16. The Registry You can navigate the Windows registry just as you would the file system because PowerShell treats the file system concept discussed in Chapter 15 as a prototype for all hierarchical information systems. # Chapter 17. Processes, Services, Event Logs In your daily work as an administrator, you often have to deal with programs (processes), services, and innumerable entries in event logs so this is a good opportunity to put into practice the basic knowledge you gained from the first 12 chapters. The examples and topics covered in this chapter are meant to give you an idea of the full range of options. In the course of your reading, you will no doubt rack your brains occasionally and find yourself flipping back pages to the introductory chapters. What's really astonishing are the many and diverse options you have in using the PowerShell pipeline (as discussed in Chapter 5) and associated formatting cmdlets to wring out every last bit of data from pipeline objects. What was just dry theory in Chapter 5 will now become very interesting in the following. # Chapter 18. WMI: Windows Management Instrumentation It might have escaped your attention, but the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service introduced with Windows 2000 has been part of every Windows version since then. The WMI service is important because it can retrieve information about nearly every aspect of your system and can even make some modifications. However, it would be beyond the scope of this book to go into WMI in greater depth because that alone could fill another volume. For this reason, we will focus on how the WMI service basically works and how PowerShell handles it. # Chapter 19. User Management For many administrators, managing users is an important part of their work. PowerShell v1 does not contain any cmdlets to manage users. However, you can add them from third-party vendors. But if you do not want any dependencies on third-party tools and snap-ins, you will learn in this chapter how to use native .NET framework methods for user management. # Chapter 20. Your Own Cmdlets and Extensions Since PowerShell is layered on the .NET framework, you already know from Chapter 6 how you can use .NET code in PowerShell to make up for missing functions. In this chapter, we'll take up this idea once again. You'll learn about the options PowerShell has for creating command extensions on the basis of the .NET framework. You should be able to even create your own cmdlets at the end of this chapter. # Administrator's Guide to Powershell Remoting This paper explains how to set up and run Windows PowerShell Remoting which is a new feature in Windows PowerShell 2.0 and allows you to run Windows PowerShell commands and scripts remotely. So, before moving on, make sure you have Windows PowerShell 2.0 RTM on your machines.

Survive The Deep End: Zend Framework Welcome to Surviving The Deep End, a free book about Zend Framework for the PHP programming language. The book was written to guide readers through the metaphorical "Deep End". It's the place you find yourself in when you complete a few tutorials and scan through the Reference Guide, where you are buried in knowledge up to your neck but without a clue about how to bind it all together effectively into an application. This take on the Zend Framework offers a survival guide, boosting your understanding of the framework and how it all fits together by following the development of a single application from start to finish. I'll even throw in a few bad jokes for free. The book is a work in progress and will soon be available to read online or download and print as PDF. In fact, every individual chapter can be downloaded individually or read online as soon as it's published. There will be no final version of the book - it's not like Zend will cease releasing new Zend Framework versions tomorrow! There will be a print edition in the near future when I figure out how that should work. Surviving The Deep End is a free book. I rely on guilt, extortion, bad jokes, and teary eyed pleas for assistance to raise donations. That and Google ads on every page. Donations will be used to pay for the server (we're hosted on Slicehost) and the next Macbook Pro I intend purchasing later this year. To keep up to date on the book's progress please visit or subscribe to my blog or follow TheDeepEnd on Twitter. Table of Contents 1. Introduction 1.1. The Zend Framework 1.2. About This Book 1.2.1.

Learning Perl the Hard Way by Allen B. Downey Do we really need another Perl book? Well obviously I think so, and here's why: * I want a book for people who already know how to program in another language, but don't know Perl. * I want a book that gets through the basics as quickly as possible. I'm sick of reading about the precedence of operators; I want to know how to do the fun stuff. * I want a book that emphasizes good programming style in Perl. Many of the Perl programs I have seen are written in a quick-and-dirty style; I wanted to see if the style I have developed in other languages can translate. * In many Perl books, object-oriented programming is treated as an optional feature for advanced programming. I wanted to bring it closer to the center of focus (although I am anything but an object-oriented bigot). In presenting Perl features, I tried to find examples that are interesting in their own right, and that encourage the reader to explore Perl's features. This book is a work in progress. I have some ideas about what will go into the next few chapters, but I am open to suggestions. I am looking for interesting programming projects that highlight some of the moderately advances features of Perl, like inter-process communication, the Perl/tk interface, or one of the infinite number of modules on CPAN. Learning Perl the Hard Way is a free book available under the GNU Free Documentation License. Readers are free to copy and distribute the text; they are also free to modify it, which allows them to adapt the book to different needs, and to help develop new material. Printable versions of the book are available in PDF and gzipped Postscript. The LaTeX source code (with figures and a Makefile) will be available soon.

Extreme Perl Extreme Perl is a book about Extreme Programming using the programming language Perl. This site contains the entire book. Please send me your suggestions, questions, etc. to comments at extremeperl.org. You may also want to join the Extreme Perl Group at Yahoo! Groups to discuss Extreme Programming with Perl. The book is available in HTML, PDF, or A4 PDF. Contents: Preface The Problem Extreme Programming Perl Release Planning Iteration Planning Pair Programming Tracking Acceptance Testing Coding Style Logistics Test Driven Design Continuous Design Unit Testing Refactoring It's a SMOP Praise: There is a part of Extreme Programming which celebrates excellence in programming in service to a customer, someone who needs computation but doesn't have the skill/patience/mania necessary to program. I'm always looking for win-wins. Gratuitous virtuosity is a win for the programmer, but a lose for the customer, because they end up with a program that no one (sometimes not even the original author) can touch without causing damage. What I like most about your book is that it presents some pretty pointy hat programming techniques, but uses them to create power for a customer, XP-style. -- Kent Beck Great book - very useful information and examples. It inspired me to review our processes yet again. -- Chris Hutchinson It is one of the best resources I have struck to introduce Extreme Programming to newbies. I have found that most references to Extreme Programming are not overly helpful when you are trying to get started down the XP path. -- Lance Wicks I rarely recommend techie books, but this is one you really have to read. I've been programming for something like 35 years, and I learned a lot from this book. If you write software, you should read this book. One thing that is compelling is that I've known the author for perhaps 20 years. He is one of the most thoughtful and intelligent technologists I know, and I respect whatever he says out of reflex. If there is one thing about the book that I must caution you about, it is that it is terrifying. Rob is doing things (not discussing theoretical concepts, but actually doing them) that I fear I can never achieve. I wish I could take the next step, and try to adopt some of his practices, but it may never happen. That said, I learned a LOT just reading the book. I expect that you will, too. Give it a try, even if you know nothing about extreme programming or Perl. I didn't! -- Jon Bondy Download: http://www.extremeperl.org/f/extremeperl.pdf Sursa: Extreme Perl - Home

The Objective-C Programming Language Introduction The Objective-C language is a simple computer language designed to enable sophisticated object-oriented programming. Objective-C is defined as a small but powerful set of extensions to the standard ANSI C language. Its additions to C are mostly based on Smalltalk, one of the first object-oriented programming languages. Objective-C is designed to give C full object-oriented programming capabilities, and to do so in a simple and straightforward way. Most object-oriented development environments consist of several parts: * An object-oriented programming language * A library of objects * A suite of development tools * A runtime environment This document is about the first component of the development environment—the programming language. It fully describes the version of the Objective-C language released in Mac OS X v10.6 and iOS 4.0. This document also provides a foundation for learning about the second component, the Objective-C application frameworks—collectively known as Cocoa. The runtime environment is described in a separate document, Objective-C Runtime Programming Guide. Who Should Read This Document The document is intended for readers who might be interested in: * Programming in Objective-C * Finding out about the basis for the Cocoa application frameworks This document both introduces the object-oriented model that Objective-C is based upon and fully documents the language. It concentrates on the Objective-C extensions to C, not on the C language itself. Because this isn’t a document about C, it assumes some prior acquaintance with that language. Object-oriented programming in Objective-C is, however, sufficiently different from procedural programming in ANSI C that you won’t be hampered if you’re not an experienced C programmer. Organization of This Document The following chapters cover all the features Objective-C adds to standard C. * “Objects, Classes, and Messaging” * “Defining a Class” * “Allocating and Initializing Objects” * “Protocols” * “Declared Properties” * “Categories and Extensions” * “Associative References” * “Fast Enumeration” * “Enabling Static Behavior” * “Selectors” * “Exception Handling” * “Threading” A glossary at the end of this document provides definitions of terms specific to Objective-C and object-oriented programming.

Programming in Lua The book is a detailed and authoritative introduction to all aspects of Lua programming, by Lua's chief architect. The first edition was aimed at Lua 5.0 and remains largely relevant. (See the errata.) If you find this online version useful, please consider buying a copy of the second edition, which updates the text to Lua 5.1 and brings substantial new material. This helps to support the Lua project. For the official definition of the Lua language, see the reference manual.

Practical Common Lisp This page, and the pages it links to, contain text of the Common Lisp book Practical Common Lisp published by Apress These pages now contain the final text as it appears in the book. If you find errors in these pages, please send email to book@gigamonkeys.com. These pages will remain online in perpetuity—I hope they will serve as a useful introduction to Common Lisp for folks who are curious about Lisp but maybe not yet curious enough to shell out big bucks for a dead-tree book and a good Common Lisp tutorial for folks who want to get down to real coding right away. However, don't let that stop you from buying the printed version available from Apress at your favorite local or online bookseller.

Eloquent JavaScript A Modern Introduction to Programming by Marijn Haverbeke Eloquent JavaScript is a book providing an introduction to the JavaScript programming language and programming in general. A concise and balanced mix of principles and pragmatics. I loved the tutorial-style game-like program development. This book rekindled my earliest joys of programming. Plus, JavaScript! —Brendan Eich, the man who gave us JavaScript The book exists in two forms. It was originally written and published in digital form, which includes interactive examples and a mechanism for playing with all the example code. This version is released under an open license. I have published a revised version of the book on paper. The structure of this version remained largely the same, but the whole text has been thorougly edited and updated. You can order from Amazon here. There is still an interactive coding environment for this version, as a seperate page. Errata are here. Contents 1. Introduction 2.

Windows 7 Kernel Architecture Changes - api-ms-win-core files Windows 7 introduces a new set of dll files containing exported functions of many well-known WIN32 APIs. All these filenames begins with 'api-ms-win-core' prefix, followed by the functions category name. For example, api-ms-win-core-localregistry-l1-1-0.dll contains the exported names for all Registry functions, api-ms-win-core-file-l1-1-0.dll contains the exported names for all file-related functions, api-ms-win-core-localization-l1-1-0.dll contains the exported names for all localization functions, and so on. If you look deeply into these files, you'll see that all these files are very small, and the functions in them doen't do anything, and simply returns a 'TRUE' value. Just for example, here's the assembly language content of RegDeleteValueW function in api-ms-win-core-localregistry-l1-1-0.dll: 084010CE 33C0 xor eax, eax 084010D0 40 inc eax 084010D1 C20800 ret 0008 By looking in dependency walker utility, we can see that advapi32.dll, kernel32.dll, and other system dll files, are now statically linked to these empty api-ms-win-core files. Moreover, if we look in the assembly language output of many API functions, we can see that they simply call their corresponding function in one of these api-ms-win-core Dlls. Just for example, RegDeleteValueW in advapi32.dll, simply contains a jump to the RegDeleteValueW in API-MS-Win-Core-LocalRegistry-L1-1-0.dll: ADVAPI32!RegDeleteValueW: 77C6F301 8BFF mov edi, edi 77C6F303 55 push ebp 77C6F304 8BEC mov ebp, esp 77C6F306 5D pop ebp 77C6F307 EB05 jmp 77C6F30E . . . 77C6F30E FF25B414C677 Jmp dword ptr [77C614B4] <-- [77C614B4] Points the import entry of API-MS-Win-Core-LocalRegistry-L1-1-0.RegDeleteValueW So if RegDeleteValueW in ADVAPI32 and other functions simply jumps to empty functions, how is it possible that these functions still works properly ? The answer is pretty simple: When Windows loads the dll files, all the import entries of these api-ms-win-core Dlls are replaced with a call to a real function in Windows kernel. So here's our RegDeleteValueW example again: when loading a program into WinDbg, we can see that the jmp call now points to kernel32!RegDeleteValueW function. That's because during the loading of advapi32.dll, Windows automatically replace the import entry of API-MS-Win-Core-LocalRegistry-L1-1-0.RegDeleteValueW to the function address of RegDeleteValueW in kernel32. 75e5f301 8bff mov edi,edi 75e5f303 55 push ebp 75e5f304 8bec mov ebp,esp 75e5f306 5d pop ebp 75e5f307 eb05 jmp ADVAPI32!RegDeleteValueW+0xd (75e5f30e) . . . 75e5f30e ff25b414e575 jmp dword ptr [ADVAPI32+0x14b4 (75e514b4)] ds:0023:75e514b4= {kernel32!RegDeleteValueW (758bd5af)} Another new dll: kernelbase.dll In addition to the new API-MS-Win-Core dll files, there is also another new dll: kernelbase.dll In previous versions of Windows, most of the kernel32 functions called to their corresponding functions in ntdll.dll. In Windows 7, most of the kernel functions call to their corresponding functions in kernelbase.dll, and the kernelbase dll is the one that makes the calls to ntdll.dll Effects on existing applications - compatibility issues. Most of the existing applications should not be affected by this kernel change, because all standard API calls still works the same as in previous versions of Windows. However, there are some diagnostic/debugging applications that rely on the calls chain inside the Windows kernel. These kind of applications may not work properly in Windows 7. My own utilities, RegFromApp and ProcessActivityView failed to work under Windows 7 because of these changes, and that what led me to discover the kernel changes of Windows 7. These utilities problems already fixed and now they works properly in Windows 7. API-MS-Win-Core List Finally, here's the list of all core dll files added to Windows 7 and the functions list that each one of them contain. I used my own DLL Export Viewer utility to generate the list. Sursa si tabelul: http://nirsoft.net/articles/windows_7_kernel_architecture_changes.html
