Programming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach, 2ed.
Kenneth Leroy Busbee and Dave Braunschweig · LibreTexts
The goal for this text is to make it programming-language neutral, so that it may serve as an introductory programming textbook for students using any of a variety of programming languages, including C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, Python, and Swift. Programming concepts are introduced generically, with logic demonstrated in pseudocode and flowchart form, followed by examples for different programming languages. Emphasis is placed on a modular, structured approaches.

Computer Networks - A Systems Approach
Peterson and Davie · LibreTexts
Peterson and Davie organize discussion of fundamental concepts in a way that is independent of layering. Thus, after reading the book, readers will understand flow control, congestion control, reliability enhancement, data representation, and synchronization, and will separately understand the implications of addressing these issues in one or another of the traditional layers.

A Brief Introduction to Engineering Computation with MATLAB
Serhat Beyenir · British Columbia Institute of Technology
The strategic goal of the course and book is to provide learners with an appreciation for the role computation plays in solving engineering problems. MATLAB specific skills that students are expected to be proficient at are: write scripts to solve engineering problems including interpolation, numerical integration and regression analysis, plot graphs to visualize, analyze and present numerical data, and publish reports.

Programming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach using C++
Kenneth Leroy Busbee · Houston Community College
This text is written by Kenneth Leroy Busbee, a faculty member at Houston Community College in Houston, Texas. The materials used in this textbook/collection were developed by the author and others as independent modules. Programming fundamentals are often divided into three college courses: Modular/Structured, Object Oriented and Data Structures. This textbook/collection covers the first of those three courses.

Object-Oriented Reengineering Patterns
Serge Demeyer, Stéphane Ducasse, & Oscar Nierstrasz · LibreTexts
This text is a guide on how to reverse engineer legacy systems to understand their problems, and then reengineer those systems to meet new demands. Patterns are used to clarify and explain the process of understanding large code bases, to transform them to meet new requirements. The key insight is that the right design and organization of your system is not something that can be evident from the initial requirements alone, but as a consequence of understanding how these requirements evolve.

Introduction to Assembly Language Programming: From Soup to Nuts - ARM Edition
Charles W. Kann III · Gettysburg College
This is an ARM Assembly Language Textbook designed to be used in classes such as Computer Organization, Operating Systems, Compilers, or any other class that needs to provide the students with a overall of Arm Assembly Language. As with all Soup to Nuts books, it is intended to be a resource where each chapter builds on the material from previous chapters, and leads the reader from a rudimentary knowledge of assembly language to a point where they can use it in their studies.

Deep into Pharo
Alexandre Bergel, Damien Cassou, Stéphane Ducasse, Jannik Laval · LibreTexts
Pharo is a clean, innovative, open-source, live-programming environment. Deep into Pharo is the second volume of a series of books covering Pharo. Whereas the first volume is intended for newcomers, this second volume covers deeper topics. You will learn about Pharo frameworks and libraries such as Glamour, PetitParser, Roassal, FileSystem, Regex, and Socket. You will explore the language with chapters on exceptions, blocks, small integers, and floats.

The Missing Link - An Introduction to Web Development
Michael Mendez · SUNY Fredonia
Web development is an evolving amalgamation of languages that work in concert to receive, modify, and deliver information between parties using the Internet as a mechanism of delivery. While it is easy to describe conceptually, implementation is accompanied by an overwhelming variety of languages, platforms, templates, frameworks, guidelines, and standards. Navigating a project from concept to completion often requires more than mastery of one or two complementing languages.
