This introduction to programming places computer science in the core of a liberal arts education. Unlike other introductory books, it focuses on the program design process. This approach fosters a variety of skills--critical reading, analytical thinking, creative synthesis, and attention to detail--that are important for everyone, not just future computer programmers.
The book exposes readers to two fundamentally new ideas. First, it presents program design guidelines that show the reader how to analyze a problem statement; how to formulate concise goals; how to make up examples; how to develop an outline of the solution, based on the analysis; how to finish the program; and how to test. Each step produces a well-defined intermediate product. Second, the book comes with a novel programming environment, the first one explicitly designed for beginners. The environment grows with the readers as they master the material in the book until it supports a full-fledged language for the whole spectrum of programming tasks.
All the book's support materials are available for free on the Web. The Web site includes the environment, teacher guides, exercises for all levels, solutions, and additional projects.

Download Rapidshare Book Designing BSD Rootkits
Designing BSD Rootkits introduces the fundamentals of programming and developing rootkits under the FreeBSD operating system. In addition to explaining rootkits and rootkit writing, the book aims to inspire readers to explore the FreeBSD kernel and gain a better understanding of the kernel and the FreeBSD operating system itself. Unlike titles on exploit writing or how to gain root access to a system, Designing BSD Rootkits focuses on maintaining root access long after gaining access to a computer. Written in a friendly, accessible style and sprinkled with geek humor and pop culture references, the author favors a “learn by example” approach that assumes no prior kernel hacking experience.

Download Rapidshare Book Introduction to Mobile Communications
The traditionally separate Fixed, Mobile, and Internet sectors are now converging into a single sector with implications for both technology and business. With so much happening, and so many options available, it is increasingly essential for telecommunication professionals to have a clear view of where the industry is heading. This book provides a solid foundation on which to develop a modern view of telecommunications. It explores the core requirements of telecommunications, from markets to technology, primarily from the mobile standpoint. It examines how mobile communications is evolving to meet the changing needs of the customer, and how technology is changing to meet those needs. http://rapidshare.com/files/39404826/Auerbach.Introduction.to.Mobile.Communications.Apr.2
