"Navigating the Worlds of C and C++: Masters of Code" offers an unparalleled journey into the realms of two of the most influential programming languages in the history of computing. This comprehensive guide is designed for both beginners eager to lay a solid foundation and experienced programmers seeking to refine their skills in C and C++. Starting with the basics, the book introduces readers to the fundamental concepts of C programming, including variables, data types, and control structures, before advancing to more complex topics such as memory management and system programming. Transitioning to C++, the text explores object-oriented programming, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, equipping readers with the tools necessary to create robust and efficient software. Each chapter includes real-world examples, practical coding exercises, and challenges that build progressively, ensuring that readers not only understand the theoretical underpinnings but also gain hands-on experience. "Navigating the Worlds of C and C++" also delves into the nuances that differentiate C from C++, providing a comparative analysis that clarifies when and why to use each language effectively. One of the significant additions in C++ is support for object-oriented programming (OOP). Object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm that focuses on organizing code into reusable objects. This book is not just a learning tool; it is a reference guide that programmers will return to time and again. Whether you're developing system software, designing new applications, or optimizing existing code, this book offers indispensable insights into mastering the power of C and C++.

This textbook concentrates on processes, activities and results related to Software Architectures. It describes the separation of architecture artefacts corresponding to their nature, their logical or their modeling level on one hand and at the same time emphasizes their integration based on their mutual relations. Design or development processes demand for integration, as different artifacts must be elaborated, which are mutually dependent and need to be in a consistent form. The term Software Architecture tries to introduce a similar understanding in the field of software system construction. We see that by looking at the covers of many books on software architectures, which mostly contain a building or a fragment thereof on the cover page (a bridge, a cathedral, a part of the outer shell). The software architecture is the essential description in the whole development process for software, it fixes the most important decisions, it determines the long-term properties of the software, and it predetermines management, quality, and documentation of the process and the final product. Architecture modeling is the most influential subprocess of software development or maintenance, and the software architecture is the key to all results of that process. Nevertheless, there are different approaches to software architectures, with respect to how to think, how to denote, and how to interrelate architectures with other results of the development process. Surprisingly, there are topics, which are important for software architectures or their influence on the development process, which are not or not deeply enough discussed in software architecture textbooks. This statement applies to all software architecture books, irrespective, which approaches they follow. This finding led to this book and, more specifically, also to the title of this book.

This book offers a comprehensive and unbiased introduction to 3D Computer Vision, ranging from its foundations and essential principles to advanced methodologies and technologies. Divided into 11 chapters, it covers the main workflow of 3D computer vision as follows: camera imaging and calibration models; various modes and means of 3D image acquisition; binocular, trinocular and multi-ocular stereo vision matching techniques; monocular single-image and multi-image scene restoration methods; point cloud data processing and modeling; simultaneous location and mapping; generalized image and scene matching; and understanding spatial-temporal behavior. Computer Vision is the use of computers to realize human visual functions, that is, the sensation, perception, processing, and interpretation of three-dimensional scenes in the objective world. The original purpose of vision research is to grasp and understand the image of the scene; identify and locate the objects in it; determine their own structure, spatial arrangement, and distribution; and explain the relationship between objects. The research goal of computer vision is to make meaningful judgments about actual objects and scenes in the objective world based on perceived images. Deep Learning uses cascaded multilayer nonlinear processing units for feature extraction and transformation, realizing multilevel feature representation and concept abstraction learning. Deep Learning still belongs to the category of Machine Learning, but compared with traditional machine learning methods, Deep Learning methods avoid the requirements for manual design features under traditional Machine Learning methods and show obvious effect advantages under Big Data.

jаvascript gives web developers great power to create rich interactive browser experiences, and much of that power is provided by the browser itself. Modern web APIs enable web-based applications to come to life like never before, supporting actions that once required browser plug-ins. Some are still in an experimental stage, but many are ready for use today. With this hands-on cookbook, author Joe Attardi helps you explore the powerful APIs available in modern browsers and guides you through the specific tasks that they unlock. Because these features are web standards, there is comprehensive documentation available from trusted resources such as MDN Web Docs. The knowledge you'll gain is transferable across different companies and projects. A Web API is a series of global objects and functions exposed by the browser. Your jаvascript code can use these to interact with the Document Object Model (DOM), perform network communication, integrate with native device features, and much more. This book is intended for software developers with some experience with jаvascript who want to get the most out of the web platform. It assumes that you have a good knowledge of the jаvascript language itself: syntax, language features, and standard library functions.
