Book SynopsisWrite code that writes code with Elixir macros. Macros make metaprogramming possible and define the language itself. In this book, you'll learn how to use macros to extend the language with fast, maintainable code and share functionality in ways you never thought possible. You'll discover how to extend Elixir with your own first-class features, optimize performance, and create domain-specific languages. Metaprogramming is one of Elixir's greatest features. Maybe you've played with the basics or written a few macros. Now you want to take it to the next level. This book is a guided series of metaprogramming tutorials that take you step by step to metaprogramming mastery. You'll extend Elixir with powerful features and write faster, more maintainable programs in ways unmatched by other languages. You'll start with the basics of Elixir's metaprogramming system and find out how macros interact with Elixir's abstract format. Then you'll extend Elixir with your own first-class features, write a testing framework, and discover how Elixir treats source code as building blocks, rather than rote lines of instructions. You'll continue your journey by using advanced code generation to create essential libraries in strikingly few lines of code. Finally, you'll create domain-specific languages and learn when and where to apply your skills effectively. When you're done, you will have mastered metaprogramming, gained insights into Elixir's internals, and have the confidence to leverage macros to their full potential in your own projects.

Book SynopsisKnowing how to create domain-specific languages (DSLs) can give you a huge productivity boost. Instead of writing code in a general-purpose programming language, you can first build a custom language tailored to make you efficient in a particular domain. The key is understanding the common patterns found across language implementations. "Language Design Patterns" identifies and condenses the most common design patterns, providing sample implementations of each. The pattern implementations use Java, but the patterns themselves are completely general. Some of the implementations use the well-known ANTLR parser generator, so readers will find this book an excellent source of ANTLR examples as well. But this book will benefit anyone interested in implementing languages, regardless of their tool of choice. Other language implementation books focus on compilers, which you rarely need in your daily life. Instead, "Language Design Patterns" shows you patterns you can use for all kinds of language applications. You'll learn to create configuration file readers, data readers, model-driven code generators, source-to-source translators, source analyzers, and interpreters. Each chapter groups related design patterns and, in each pattern, you'll get hands-on experience by building a complete sample implementation. By the time you finish the book, you'll know how to solve most common language implementation problems.

Book SynopsisThis textbook is a thorough, up-to-date introduction to the principles and techniques that guide the design and implementation of modern programming languages. The goal of the book is to provide the basis for a critical understanding of most modern programming languages. Thus, rather than focusing on a specific language, the book identifies the most important principles shared by large classes of languages. The notion of ‘abstract machine’ is a unifying concept that helps to maintain an accurate and elementary treatment. The book introduces, analyses in depth, and compares the imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic, concurrent, constraint-based, and service-oriented programming paradigms. All material coming from the first English edition has been updated and extended, clarifying some tricky points, and discussing newer programming languages. This second edition contains new chapters dedicated to constraint, concurrent, and service-oriented programming.Topics and features: Requires familiarity with one programming language is a prerequisite Provides a chapter on history offering context for most of the constructs in use today Presents an elementary account of semantical approaches and of computability Introduces new examples in modern programming languages like Python or Scala Offers a chapter that opens a perspective on applications in artificial intelligence Conceived as a university textbook, this unique volume will also be suitable for IT specialists who want to deepen their knowledge of the mechanisms behind the languages they use. The choice of themes and the presentation style are largely influenced by the experience of teaching the content as part of a bachelor's degree in computer science.Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on how to install C/C++ compilers on Linux and Windows platforms in a timely and efficient way. Installing C/C++ compilers, especially Microsoft compilers, typically takes quite a lot of time because it comes with Microsoft Visual Studio for the vast majority of users. Installing Visual Studio requires usually about 40 GB of disk space and a large amount of RAM, so it is impossible to use weak hardware. The authors provide an easy way to deploy Microsoft C/C++ compiler: with no disk space headache and hardware resources lack. The method described saves significant time since software can even be deployed on removable devices, such as flash sticks, in an easy and portable way. It is achieved by using Enterprise Windows Driver Kit (EWDK), single big ISO image, which can be mounted as virtual device and used directly without any installation. EWDK contains everything from Visual Studio except IDE. EWDK also allows to use MASM64 (Microsoft Macro-Assembly) and C# compilersTable of ContentsPart I.

Book SynopsisLearn how to automate processes, visualize your data, and improve productivity using Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, SharePoint, Forms, Teams, and more. This book will help you build complete solutions that often involve storing data in SharePoint, creating a front-end application in Power Apps or Forms, adding additional functionality with Power Automate, and effective reports and dashboards in Power BI.This new edition greatly expands the focus on Power Apps, Power BI, Power Automate, and Teams, along with SharePoint and Microsoft Forms. It starts with the basics of programming and shows how to build a simple email application in .NET, HTML/JavaScript, Power Apps on its own, and Power Apps and Power Automate in combination. It then covers how to connect Power Apps to SharePoint, create an approval process in Power Automate, visualize surveys in Power BI, and create your own survey solution with the combination of a number of Microsoft 365 tools. You''ll work with an eTable of ContentsChapter 1. Programming in the Power Platform In this chapter, we will cover the basics of programming: properties, methods, and events. We will then look at how their implementation differs between in each of the Power Platform applications compared with traditional environments like .NET (Windows Forms and ASP.NET) and JavaScript. For Power Apps, we will see how you can set the properties of other objects directly but instead need to make the value of what you want to change (such as the text of a button) a variable and then change the value of that variable elsewhere in the application. We will also explore its Visual Basic-like syntax. In Power Automate, we will look at the different types of actions (variables, loop, parallel branches, conditions, etc.). Finally, in Power BI we will look at the Power Query M formula language. Chapter 2. Updating a SharePoint List Using Power Apps Chapter 3. Creating an Approval Process with Power Automate Chapter 4.

Building a Help Ticketing System in PowerApps and SharePoint – New Ticket Form Chapter 9. Continuing the Help Ticketing System – Technician Form Chapter 10. Using Power BI for the Help Ticketing System Chapter 11. Overcoming Power Apps Delegation Issues with SharePoint Data Sources In this chapter, we look at how to use the technique described in https://tinyurl.com/twzvbgl to overcome delegation limits in Power Apps using a SharePoint data source. We also implement a corresponding Power Automate Flow to copy the ID value to a numeric column each time we create a record. Chapter 12. Creating a Class Sign-Up Solution in SharePoint and Power Apps Chapter 13. Visualizing Learning Management Data from SQL Server using Power BI This chapter gives several examples of connecting to multiple tables in a SQL Server database in order to visualize test score, completion, assignments and similar learning management data. It demonstrates custom columns, merging tables, slicers, and much more. Chapter 14. Dynamic Information in Power Apps and Sending an Adaptive Card to Teams using Power Automate In this chapter, we create linked SharePoint lists that display status levels, colors, and associated steps. We then read these lists from PowerApps to create a status display that we display in a tab in Teams. Finally, we create a Power Automate flow so that each time the status changes, we automatically post that to our Teams channel. Chapter 15. Dynamically Setting Object Properties in Power Apps Based on a SharePoint List In this chapter, we explore how to approximate dynamic object references/reflection in Power Apps. We take an "Actions" list in SharePoint and use it to set Text, Tooltip, and Visible properties of each corresponding button in Power Apps. Chapter 16. Uploading Files from PowerApps to SharePoint and Emailing Links using Power Automate In this chapter, we see how to upload multiple attachments from Power Apps to a SharePoint document library using Power Automate. While we are in Power Automate, we create an email of links to these documents and email it to the designated recipient. Chapter 17. Working with SharePoint Lookup Columns in Power BI In this chapter, we explore how to use the FieldValuesAsText functionality in Power BI to get the data from within a SharePoint Lookup column. We also explore creating custom columns and filtering by Content Type. Chapter 18. Joining SharePoint/Excel Tables in Power BI This chapter shows two different examples on how to join data in Power BI to make effective visualizations. The first example shows how to access lookup columns in SharePoint lists by doing a join on the lists once you bring them into Power BI. The second one is an extended example on how to verify data between two Excel spreadsheets that share a common value. We first show how to accomplish the task with Microsoft Access with a join query and a set of custom columns that reflect whether columns between the two spreadsheets actually match. We then show how it is easier and more reproducible with later data to do the same thing with Power BI using a merge query. Chapter 19. Copying Microsoft Forms Answers to SharePoint using Power Automate and then Showing the Most Current Submission in Power BI In this chapter, we take a simple Microsoft Form, copy each entry to SharePoint with Power Automate, and then visualize the data in Power BI. The main insight on the Power BI side is to show only the most recent form submission by grouping within Power BI, creating a MaxDate column, and then filtering. Chapter 20. Copying Microsoft Forms Attachments to a SharePoint List Item using Power Automate In this chapter, we see how to create a group form in Microsoft Forms, create an associated SharePoint List to hold the data, use Power Automate to copy the form responses to the list, and, most importantly, copy each file uploaded with the form and attach it to the corresponding list item. Chapter 21. Creating an Employee Recognition App in Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Teams, and SharePoint In this chapter, we demonstrate how to create a Power Apps and Power Automate employee recognition solution that can post the recognition to a Teams channel, send a Teams chat, and/or send via email. We try to make it optional for submitters to include their information, finding it works for chats and email but not posts. We store the information in SharePoint and then use Power BI to visualize the values demonstrated and other data. Chapter 22. Creating a Reservations Booking Solution in Power Apps and SharePoint In this chapter, we demonstrate how to create a SharePoint list of available appointments and then use Power Apps to allow users to select an available appointment and make that not available to anyone else. It also shows how to allow users to edit or delete their appointments (or those created on their behalf). Chapter 23. Creating a Scoring Application in Power Apps and SharePoint In this chapter, we create a scoring application where we patch three different SharePoint records at the same time. Along the way, we use cascading drop-down lists, collections, data tables, and variables.
