Book SynopsisGo from competent C++ developer to skilled designer or architect using this book as your personal C++ design master class. Updated for the C++20 standard, this title will guide you through the design and implementation of an engaging case study that forms the backdrop for learning the art of applying design patterns and modern C++ techniques to create a high quality, robust application.  Starting with a quick exploration of the requirements for building the application, you''ll delve into selecting an appropriate architecture, eventually designing and implementing all of the necessary modules to meet the project''s requirements. By the conclusion of Practical C++ Design, you''ll have constructed a fully functioning calculator capable of building and executing on any platform that supports both Qt and C++20. Access to the complete source code will help speed your learning. Utilize the Model-View-Controller pattern as the basis for the architecTable of ContentsPreface (5 pages)The preface details my motivation for writing the book, the target audience for the book, thegeneral structure of the book, and how to contact the author. Of particular importance is therationale behind choosing the case study, the target language (C++), and the GUI toolkit (Qt).Chapter 1: Defining the Case Study (6 pages)The first chapter describes, in detail, the case study to be examine in the book. The chapterdiscusses requirements in the abstract and then transitions to the calculator’s specific requirements.This sets the stage for the remainder of the book, which describes, in detail, the design andimplementation of the calculator, pdCalc, proposed in Chapter 1.1. A Brief Introduction2. A Few Words About Requirements3. Reverse Polish Notation (RPN)4. The Calculator’s Requirements5. The Source Code1The advice, information, and conclusions discussed in this book are those of the author and have not beenendorsed by, or reflect the opinions or practices of, ExxonMobil Corporation or its affiliates.5Chapter 2: Decomposition (18 pages)In this chapter, I explain the elements of a good decomposition and strategies for decomposing aproblem into manageable pieces. Subsequently, an architecture for pdCalc is selected, the calculatoris modularized, and use cases are used to develop interfaces for the high level calculator modules.The four high level modules are the stack, the command dispatcher, the user interface (subdividedinto a command line interface and a graphic user interface), and a plugin manager.1. The Elements of a Good Decomposition2. Selecting An Architecture3. Interfaces4. Assessment of Our Current Design5. Next StepsChapter 3: The Stack (20 pages)The stack is the first module discussed in detail. The stack is the fundamental data repositoryof the calculator. As part of the calculator’s design and implementation, the singleton pattern isexplored. The stack also affords the first opportunity to discuss an event system for the calculator,which provides a backdrop for exploration of the observer pattern, including the design andimplementation of reusable publisher and observer abstract classes.1. Decomposition of the Stack Module2. The Stack Class3. Adding Events4. A Quick Note on TestingChapter 4: The Command Dispatcher (32 pages)This chapter describes the design and implementation of the command dispatcher, the module ofthe calculator responsible for the creation, storage, and execution of commands. Of particular notein this chapter is the exposition on the command pattern and how it can be used to implement apractical undo/redo framework. In addition to exploring a traditional deep hierarchy method forimplementing commands, a C++11 alternative using lambda expressions and the standard functiontemplate are presented as a modern alternative design.1. The Decomposition of the Command Dispatcher2. The Command Class3. The Command Repository4. The Command Manager5. The Command Dispatcher6. Revisiting Earlier Decisions6Chapter 5: The Command Line Interface (14 pages)This chapter marks an important milestone, the creation of the first user executable program.In addition to building a simple command line interface, we’ll explore how to create an abstractsoftware interface suitable for both a command line interface and a graphical user interface. Withinthe context of the command line interface, we’ll learn techniques for simple parsing and tokenizingof input text streams.1. The User Interface Abstraction2. The Concrete CLI Class3. Tying It Together: A Working ProgramChapter 6: The Graphical User Interface (24 pages)In this chapter, we build the Qt-based graphical user interface for the calculator. Here, we’llexamine different strategies for building GUIs, abstraction of GUI elements, and modularization ofthe overall GUI design. Included in the discussion is design for the separation of on-screen widgetsfrom look-and-feel.1. Requirements2. Building GUIs3. Modularization4. A Working Program5. A Microsoft Windows Build NoteChapter 7: Plugins (38 pages)In this chapter, I describe how to build a cross-platform plugin system. This system includes theabstract interface for C++ plugins as well as the operating system specific mechanics involved withloading plugins and executing plugin functions. In the concrete case of the plugin loader, I explainthe many build tricks that can be used to handle cross-platform code and demonstrate how theabstract factory pattern provides an elegant design solution to this problem.1. What Is a Plugin?2. Problem 1: The Plugin Interface3. Problem 2: Loading Plugins4. Problem 3: Retrofitting pdCalc5. Incorporating Plugins6. A Concrete Plugin7. Next Steps7Chapter 8: New Requirements (24 pages)Any developer who has ever worked on a production software project quickly learns that newrequirements are always added late in the development cycle. In this chapter, we explore theaddition of new user requests after the original requirements have already been satisfied. Thediscussion progresses from fully implemented solutions to design only solutions to vague ideas forthe reader to explore on her own.1. Fully Designed New Features2.

Book Synopsis* Treats LISP as a language for commercial applications, not a language for academic AI concerns. This could be considered to be a secondary text for the Lisp course that most schools teach . This would appeal to students who sat through a LISP course in college without quite getting it – so a "nostalgia" approach, as in "wow-lisp can be practical…" * Discusses the Lisp programming model and environment. Contains an introduction to the language and gives a thorough overview of all of Common Lisp’s main features. * Designed for experienced programmers no matter what languages they may be coming from and written for a modern audience—programmers who are familiar with languages like Java, Python, and Perl. * Includes several examples of working code that actually does something useful like Web programming and database access.

Book SynopsisBecome familiar with the LLVM infrastructure and start using LLVM libraries to design a compiler About This Book • Learn to use the LLVM libraries to emit intermediate representation (IR) from high-level language • Build your own optimization pass for better code generation • Understand AST generation and use it in a meaningful way Who This Book Is For This book is intended for those who already know some of the concepts of compilers and want to quickly get familiar with the LLVM infrastructure and the rich set of libraries that it provides. What You Will Learn • Get an introduction to LLVM modular design and LLVM tools • Convert frontend code to LLVM IR • Implement advanced LLVM IR paradigms • Understand the LLVM IR Optimization Pass Manager infrastructure and write an optimization pass • Absorb LLVM IR transformations • Understand the steps involved in converting LLVM IR to Selection DAG • Implement a custom target using the LLVM infrastructure • Get a grasp of C's frontend clang, an AST dump, and static analysis In Detail LLVM is currently the point of interest for many firms, and has a very active open source community. It provides us with a compiler infrastructure that can be used to write a compiler for a language. It provides us with a set of reusable libraries that can be used to optimize code, and a target-independent code generator to generate code for different backends. It also provides us with a lot of other utility tools that can be easily integrated into compiler projects. This book details how you can use the LLVM compiler infrastructure libraries effectively, and will enable you to design your own custom compiler with LLVM in a snap. We start with the basics, where you'll get to know all about LLVM. We then cover how you can use LLVM library calls to emit intermediate representation (IR) of simple and complex high-level language paradigms. Moving on, we show you how to implement optimizations at different levels, write an optimization pass, generate code that is independent of a target, and then map the code generated to a backend. The book also walks you through CLANG, IR to IR transformations, advanced IR block transformations, and target machines. By the end of this book, you'll be able to easily utilize the LLVM libraries in your own projects. Style and approach This book deals with topics sequentially, increasing the difficulty level in a step-by-step approach. Each topic is explained with a detailed example, and screenshots are included to help you understand the examples.

Book SynopsisOriginally published in 1981, this was the first textbook on programming in the Prolog language and is still the definitive introductory text on Prolog. Though many Prolog textbooks have been published since, this one has withstood the test of time because of its comprehensiveness, tutorial approach, and emphasis on general programming applications. Prolog has continued to attract a great deal of interest in the computer science community, and has turned out to be a basis for an important new generation of programming languages and systems for Artificial Intelligence. Since the previous edition of Programming in Prolog, the language has been standardised by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and this book has been updated accordingly. The authors have also introduced some new material, clarified some explanations, corrected a number of minor errors, and removed appendices about Prolog systems that are now obsolete.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews of the fifth edition: "This is the fifth and the most recent edition of a legendary book … . It was probably the first introductory Prolog book and it is still the most gentle introduction to Prolog for everyone, including non-computer scientists. … the book is as great as ever as an introductory text for Prolog. When a newbie asks for an introduction to Prolog, the best advice is still Clocksin & Mellish."

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. Creating a Survey Response Dashboard with Microsoft Power BI Chapter 5. Creating a Survey Solution with Microsoft Forms, Flow, SharePoint, and Power BI Chapter 6. Power BI Challenges with JSON, XML, and Yes/No Data Chapter 7. Power BI Case Study: Monitoring BMC Remedy Help Tickets Chapter 8. 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.

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.
