Learn how to write object-oriented programs in R and how to construct classes and class hierarchies in the three object-oriented systems available in R. This book gives an introduction to object-oriented programming in the R programming language and shows you how to use and apply R in an object-oriented manner. You will then be able to use this powerful programming style in your own statistical programming projects to write flexible and extendable software. After reading Advanced Object-Oriented Programming in R, you'll come away with a practical project that you can reuse in your own analytics coding endeavors. You'll then be able to visualize your data as objects that have state and then manipulate those objects with polymorphic or generic methods. Your projects will benefit from the high degree of flexibility provided by polymorphism, where the choice of concrete method to execute depends on the type of data being manipulated. What You'll Learn Define and use classes and generic functions using R Work with the R class hierarchies Benefit from implementation reuse Handle operator overloading Apply the S4 and R6 classes Who This Book Is For Experienced programmers and for those with at least some prior experience with R programming language.

Part technical and part theoretical, this practical guide to web typography helps designers understand how the typographic choices they make in layout and prototyping programs behave once they are turned into live code. Through a series of demos, this book teaches designers how to create typographic specific webpages by learning just enough HTML and CSS to be able to view the pages in different browsers, devices, and operating systems. With live webpages to evaluate, designers will learn how to test those pages for supported features and performance, ensuring font choices look as good in the browser as it does in their layout program, delivering a speedy experience to the users. Key Features Demonstrates the minimal amount of HTML and CSS necessary to be able to create webpages to see typographic choices in the browser. Discusses responsive design and how to evaluate and test those choices for performance and usability prior to front-end development. Demonstrates how to review your own typographic, image, and layout choices in the browser through a series of demos in the book.

Since its original introduction in 1997, the Unified Modeling Language has revolutionized software development. Every integrated software development environment in the world - open-source, standards-based and proprietary - now supports UML, and more importantly the model-driven approach to software development. This makes learning the newest UML standard UML 2.0, critical for all software developers - and there isn't a better choice than this clear, step-by-step guide to learning the language. - Richard Mark Soley, Chairman and CEO, OMG. If you're like most software developers you're building systems that are increasingly complex. Whether you're creating a desktop application or an enterprise system, complexity is the big hairy monster you must manage.

This book presents a methodology to model and specify the data aspect of Web services, as it is overlooked by current standards for specifying Web services. The formal specification enables verification of service behavior, and the proposed methodology is based on formal methods and design-by-contract techniques. The Web has evolved from an information sharing medium to a wide-scale environment for sharing capabilities or services. Currently, URLs not only point to documents and images, but are also used to invoke services that potentially change the state of the Web. Major online organizations today, such as Amazon, PayPal and FedEx, provide services for users and consumers. They also allow third-party vendors to resell their services. In both cases, this requires precise and complete specification of service offerings. Several online discussions demonstrate the challenges faced by these organizations and others while describing their data-centric Web services. These challenges surrounding data specification can lead consumers to use a service erroneously. Case studies demonstrate how formal methods, and specifically design-by-contract techniques, can be leveraged to address the lack of formal specification of data when it comes to developing Web applications such as Amazon and PayPal.

Now that formal methods are seen as a necessary and beneficial theoretical tool for systems designers and programmers, this book offers a thorough and comprehensive tutorial introduction to Z taking as its starting point the practical use of this formal specification language. Case studies are used to illustrate all aspects of Z and are introduced early on in order to motivate the mathematical notations that have to be covered. Standard notation is used throughout. Many proofs are included and they are presented using the commonest format for natural deduction proofs. With exercises given and clear descriptions and explanations provided, this book is required reading for students and post-experience software engineers learning Z. Enhancements to this edition are more exercises, information on how to relate Z specifications to actual program code, and amendments so that the book is in line with the current language standards.

"Modern Compiler Design" makes the topic of compiler design more accessible by focusing on principles and techniques of wide application.
