Beginning Lua Programmingby Kurt Jung; Aaron Brown
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2007; US$ 39.99This book is for students and professionals who are intrigued by the prospect of learning and using a powerful language that provides a rich infrastructure for creating programs. No programming knowledge is necessary to benefit from this book except for the section on Lua bindings, which requires some familiarity with the C programming language. A certain comfort level with command-line operations, text editing, and directory structures is assumed. Software developers who have experience with functions, strings, and associative arrays can skim Chapters 2 through 5 with the caveat that certain Lua colloquialisms are introduced there along with programming concepts. Throughout the text, sections pertaining to a particular operating system are... more...
Practical Common Lispby Peter Seibel
Springer 2005; US$ 64.99Lisp is thought of an academic language but it need not be. This is the first book that introduces Lisp as a language for the real world. Part I is the introduction to the Lisp language. Part II shows larger-scale examples of practical Lisp programming. more...

Pro LINQ Object Relational Mapping with C# 2008by Vijay Mehta
Springer 2008; US$ 49.99It is nearly impossible today to write enterprise software without the use of one or more relational databases. Granted, there are cases when the data is transient and not stored in a database, but for the most part, software needs to consume and manipulate data in a database. It sounds easy, but there are hundreds of ways to connect software systems to databases and thousands of people who think they have the skeleton key for data access layers. Pro LINQ Object Relational Mapping in C# 2008 explains an efficient, repeatable way to apply industry design patterns to build scalable object oriented data access layers. Object relational mapping (OR/M) has been a gray area in Microsoft development for many years. It s not that Microsoft language... more...
Foundations of LINQ in C#by Joseph C. Jr. Rattz
Springer 2008; US$ 44.99LINQ is the project name for a set of extensions to the .NET Framework that provide a generic approach to querying data from different data sources. LINQ will premier in Visual Studio 2008, and will become the next must-have skill for .NET developers. For more information about LINQ, you can check out the author's portal at www.linqdev.com. Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C 2008 is all about code. Literally, this book starts with code and ends with code. In most books, the author shows the simplest example demonstrating how to use a method, but they so rarely show how to use the more complex prototypes. Pro LINQ: Language Integrated Query in C 2008 is different. Demonstrating the overwhelming majority of LINQ operators and protoypes,... more...

LINQ to Objects Using C# 4.0by Troy Magennis
Pearson Education 2010; US$ 35.99Your Complete Example-Rich Guide to Using and Extending LINQ to Objects and PLINQ Using LINQ to Objects, .NET developers can write queries over object collections with the same deep functionality that was once available only with SQL and relational databases. Now, for the first time, developers have a comprehensive and authoritative guide to applying LINQ to Objects in real-world software. Microsoft MVP Troy Magennis introduces state-of-the-art techniques for working with in-memory collections more elegantly and efficiently—and writing code that is exceptionally powerful, robust, and flexible. Drawing on his unsurpassed experience coding software using LINQ and hosting the popular HookedOnLINQ.com site, Magennis... more...
Programming Microsoft® LINQby Paolo Pialorsi; Marco Russo
O'Reilly Media, Inc. 2009; US$ 39.99Get comprehensive guidance for using the Microsoft Language Integrated Query (LINQ) Project—with in-depth insights from two experienced developers. Data-rich applications can be difficult to create because of the tremendous differences between query languages used to access data and the programming languages commonly used to write applications. This practical guide covers the intricacies of LINQ, a set of extensions to the Visual C# and Visual Basic programming languages. Instead of traversing different language syntaxes required for accessing data from relational and hierarchical data sources, developers will learn how to write queries natively in Visual C# or Visual Basic—helping reduce complexity and boost productivity. Written... more...
