Book Description

The Wolfram Language represents a major advance in programming languages that makes leading-edge computation accessible to everyone. Unique in its approach of building in vast knowledge and automation, the Wolfram Language scales from a single line of easy-to-understand interactive code to million-line production systems.

This book provides an elementary introduction to the Wolfram Language and modern computational thinking. It assumes no prior knowledge of programming, and is suitable for both technical and non-technical college and high-school students, as well as anyone with an interest in the latest technology and its practical application.

• Stephen Wolfram is the creator of the Wolfram Language, as well as Wolfram]Alpha and Mathematica. He has been a pioneer in the science and technology of computation for nearly four decades. He started using computers while doing physics research in his early teens, and made many important discoveries that led eventually to his groundbreaking 2002 book A New Kind of Science. Since 1987, Wolfram has been CEO of Wolfram Research, one of the world's most respected software companies, known for its long history of technical innovation.

  Mathematica/Wolfram is very powerful programming language and invaluable to anyone interested in engineering without cost. This ebook is for the novice just getting started with Mathematica and consists of worked examples.

• Programming in D (Ali Cehreli)

  This book is a comprehensive introduction to D Programming Language. It covers all aspects of the language (such as expressions, statements, types, functions, contracts, and modules), but it is much more than an enumeration of features.

• Clojure for the Brave and True (Daniel Higginbotham)

  This book offers a "dessert-first" approach: you'll start playing with real Clojure programs immediately, as you steadily acclimate to the abstract but powerful features of Lisp and functional programming.

• Introduction to newLISP (WikiBooks)

  You'll find newLISP easy to learn and powerful, combining some of the power and elegance of classic LISP with the facilities of a modern scripting language, such as regular expressions, network functions, Unicode support, multitasking, and many others.

• Why Rust? Trustworthy, Concurrent Systems Programming

  This book explains how Rust achieves the combination of safety and security with performance via a sophisticated and flexible type system. You'll learn how to put Rust's safety, performance, and trustworthy concurrency to use.

• Essential Kotlin (Krzysztof Kowalczyk)

  This book provides clear and concise explanation of topics for programmers both starting to learn the Kotlin programming language as well as those diving in more complex topics. Examples are linked to online playground that allows you to play with them.

• Coding with Minecraft: Learn to Code by Programming Robots

  This book is a hands-on introduction to coding that teaches you how to program bots to do cool things in the game you love - Minecraft! This book takes the robotic "turtle" method, and extends it to the 3D, interactive world of Minecraft.

• Scratch Programming Playground: Making Cool Games

  Scratch, the colorful drag-and-drop programming language, is used by millions of first-time learners, and in this book, you'll learn to program by making cool games. Get ready to destroy asteroids, shoot hoops, and slice and dice fruit!

• Exploring ReasonML and Functional Programming

  This book teaches the programming language ReasonML by Facebook. It is also an introduction to functional programming. Especially people familiar with C-style languages (Java, JavaScript, C#, etc.) will profit from ReasonML's familiar syntax.

• Programming with yab (Michel Clasquin-Johnson)

  This book will teach you how to program in the yab programming language, one of the main platforms for writing applications for the Haiku Operating System. A major use for yab is to create a graphical front-end for something you would otherwise do in Terminal.
