William Stallings is an author with a mission. He wants both students and seasoned professionals to have a comprehensive text that explains the concepts, structure and mechanisms of operating systems. In this fifth edition of his award-winning book, Stallings provides a thorough discussion of the fundamentals of operating systems design and relates those fundamentals to contemporary design issues and to current directions in the development of operating systems.

Features and Benefits

·Expands the treatment of Linux 2.6 as a case study.

·Includes Microsoft Windows and Unix to illustrate and teach real-world design choices.

·Adds two new major programming projects, one to build a shell or command line interpreter and one to build a process dispatcher.

·Discusses in-depth unique sections on SMP design and multithreading,microkernels and OS support for clusters as well as for real-time scheduling.

·Emphasizes design issues and fundamental principles in contemporary systems, giving students a solid understanding of the key structures and mechanisms of operating systems.

free pdf ebook download: Pro JavaScript Design Patterns

This book is meant primarily for two types of people. The first is web developers or front-end
engineers who know some JavaScript and wish to learn more. Specifically, those who want to
improve their understanding of the object-oriented capabilities of JavaScript and learn how
they can make their code more modular, maintainable, and efficient. This book will teach
these readers about the basics of object-oriented programming in JavaScript. It will also teach
them about specific design patterns, showing when they can be used and how to implement
them. This type of reader will already be familiar with the basic JavaScript syntax and will focus
more on the sections that deal with converting existing code to implement specific patterns,
and explanations of when each pattern should or shouldn’t be used.
The second type of readers are programmers who are more involved with server-side
languages such as Java and C++ and are relative beginners in JavaScript. They wish to use
their knowledge of design patterns and object-oriented programming and put it to use in
a client-side language. This book will teach these readers how to implement commonly
used object-oriented idioms in JavaScript, such as interfaces, inheritance, and encapsula-
tion. These readers will find the code samples particularly useful because they may not be
familiar with the differences in syntax between JavaScript and other object-oriented lan-
guages. This type of reader may already be familiar with specific design patterns and so
may get more out of the JavaScript-specific, object-oriented techniques covered in Part 1.
Readers who are unfamiliar with the basics of JavaScript and object-oriented program-
ming may have a tough time following some of the examples. This is not an entry-level text,
and it assumes a certain level of programming knowledge. That being said, we do our best to
explain each concept as simply and clearly as possible, to make it easy to understand regard-
less of your level of expertise.

Free pdf ebook download: Software Architecture Design Patterns in Java

Title: Software Architecture Design Patterns in Java
Author: Partha Kuchana
Publisher:  CRC Press
Format: PDF

Partha Kuchana is an experienced enterprise systems architect. He understands
that patterns are not about things that are just good ideas, but that patterns are
about capturing knowledge bred from experience. This hard-won knowledge is
what Partha is sharing with readers of his book. Here are some of the things I
really like about what he has to say.
The  book  presents  42  design  patterns,  which  include  the  23  GoF  patterns.
These patterns are categorized as follows:
  7 Basic patterns
  5 Creational patterns
  4 Collectional patterns
 11 Structural patterns
 11 Behavioral patterns
  4 Concurrency patterns

Free pdf ebook download: GoF Design Patterns with examples using Java and UML2 .pdf

Title:GoF Design Patterns with examples using Java and UML2
Author:Benneth Christiansson
Format:PDF

Benneth Christiansson Bio:
Benneth Christiansson is a former senior lecturer and
researcher at Karlstad university.
Nowadays he works as Curriculum Manager, Open Source
Evangelist and Senior Consultant at Redpill Linpro AB.
The largest provider of Open Source solutions and services
in the Nordic area.
Benneth occupies a genuine experience as both instructor
and author, with several published books and publications.
The idea that lead to this book originated during the
participation of a Java Architect training program taught at
Logica Sverige AB Karlstad office. During the course the authors
identified the lack of a quick-guide to the basic GoF design
patterns. A book that could be used as a bare bone reference as well
as a learning companion for understanding design patterns. In the book
all patterns are exemplified using Java and UML2 notation. The book
also focuses on benefits, drawbacks, applicability and indicates
successful real life usage of the individual patterns.
Co-authors are all employees at different Logica Sweden AB offices.
