XTANGO is a general purpose algorithm animation system; POLKA is a general purpose animation system that is particularly well-suited to building algorithm and program animations (descended from XTANGO); Samba is, in essence, an interactive animation interpreter that reads ASCII commands and performs the corresponding animation actions.
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs has been MIT's introductory pre-professional computer science subject since 1981. It emphasizes the role of computer languages as vehicles for expressing knowledge and it presents basic principles of abstr
The Little Book of Semaphores is a free (in both senses of the word) textbook that introduces the principles of synchronization for concurrent programming. In most computer science curricula, synchronization is a module in an Operating Systems class. OS textbooks present a standard set of problems with a standard set of solutions, but most students don't get a good understanding of the material or the ability to solve similar problems. The approach of this book is to identify patterns that are useful for a variety of synchronization problems and then show how they can be assembled into solutions. After each problem, the book offers a hint before showing a solution, giving students a better chance of discovering solutions on their own. The book covers the classical problems, including "Readers-writers," "Producer-consumer", and "Dining Philosophers." In addition, it collects a number of not-so-classical problems
One of the keywords newcomers hear when learning about blockchain are the notions of a hash and a hashing algorithm which seem to be ubiquitous for security. Running a decentralized network and…
