Object-Oriented Programming is a textbook that will enable any reader, regardless of their level, to understand the basic principles of structured and object-oriented programming. A beginner will have the opportunity to learn almost from scratch, and an advanced programmer will be able to consolidate, practice, and significantly expand his or her knowledge. In the book, the author has gathered a large amount of basic programming concepts, explaining the concept of data, its types and more complex structures, i.e. collections, along with the ways of referring to them through names and pointers. He discussed conditional statements, iteration, functions, objects and classes, as well as inheritance, polymorphism and access rules. An additional advantage of the content discussed is the questions and exercises with answers and the source codes of all programs with the possibility of downloading them directly to the computer. The author of the book is Aleksander Bies, a teacher of programming, a graduate of Computer Science and Applied Computer Science at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Silesia, a doctoral candidate in the field of artificial intelligence methods in complex systems. He is the co-author of a machine learning model that won 2nd place in the international Orange Datahack with Energy competition.

Object-Oriented Programming with Swift 2. Click here to enter text
Gaston C. Hillar
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects; these are data structures that contain data in the form of fields, often known as attributes and code. Objects are everywhere, and so it is very important to recognize elements, known as objects, from real-world situations and know how they can easily be translated into object-oriented code.Object-Oriented Programming with Swift is an easy-to-follow guide packed full of hands-on examples of solutions to common problems encountered with object-oriented code in Swift. It starts by helping you to recognize objects using real-life scenarios and demonstrates how working with them makes it simpler to write code that is easy to understand and reuse. You will learn to protect and hide data with the data encapsulation features of Swift. Then, you will explore how to maximize code reuse by writing code capable of working with objects of different types. After that, you'll discover the power of parametric polymorphism and will combine generic code with inheritance and multiple inheritance. Later, you move on to refactoring your existing code and organizing your source for easy maintenance and extensions.By the end of the book, you will be able to create better, stronger, and more reusable code, which will help you build better applications.

Od monolitu do mikrousług. Ewolucyjne wzorce przekształcania systemów monolitycznych
Sam Newman
Mikrousługi są relatywnie świeżą koncepcją w świecie systemów IT, mimo to coraz więcej organizacji decyduje się na wdrażanie opartej na nich architektury. Uznaje się, że zapewnia ona wówczas lepszą skalowalność, łatwość łączenia poszczególnych niezależnych elementów, a przede wszystkim możliwość szybszej reakcji na zmiany i skuteczniejsze wdrażanie nowych funkcjonalności. Zanim jednak organizacja da się skusić tymi obietnicami, powinna gruntownie przeanalizować swoją sytuację i decyzję o ewentualnej migracji systemu oprzeć na racjonalnych przesłankach. Konieczne jest również opracowanie planu takiego przejścia, zwłaszcza jeśli nie można sobie pozwolić na dłuższe przestoje w działalności. To wyczerpujący poradnik dla inżynierów, którzy stoją przed wyzwaniem przekształcenia monolitycznego systemu w architekturę opartą na mikrousługach bez przerywania funkcjonowania firmy. Książka jest przeznaczona dla organizacji, które muszą płynnie zmienić istniejący system, a nie zbudować go od nowa. Zawiera wiele cennych wskazówek odnoszących się do celowości samej migracji oraz przedstawia liczne scenariusze i strategie przekształcania: od etapu planowania aż po dekompozycję aplikacji i baz danych. Znalazł się tu zestaw sprawdzonych wzorców i technik wraz z omówieniem sytuacji, w jakich można je bezpiecznie zastosować.

When building mobile apps, it’s easy to forget about the moments when your users lack a good Internet connection. Put your phone in airplane mode, open a few popular apps, and you’ll quickly see how they handle being offline. From Twitter to Pinterest to Apple Maps, some apps might handle being offline better—but very few do it well. A poor offline experience will result in frustrated users who will abandon your app, or worse, turn to your competitor’s appsExpert or novice, this book will teach you everything you need to know about designing and building a rigorous offline app experience. By putting the offline experience first, you’ll have a solid foundation to build upon, avoiding the unnecessary stress and frustration of trying to retrofit offline capabilities into your finished app. This basic principle, designing for the worst-case scenario, could save you countless hours of wasted effort.

Test-driven development is a manifesto for incrementally adding features to a product but starting with the unit tests first. Today’s project templates come with unit tests by default and implementing them has become an expectation. It’s no surprise that TDD/unit tests feature in most job specifications and are important ingredients for most interviews and coding challenges. Adopting TDD will enforce good design practices and expedite your journey toward becoming a better coding architect.This book goes beyond the theoretical debates and focuses on familiarizing you with TDD in a real-world setting by using popular frameworks such as ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework. The book starts with the foundational elements before showing you how to use Visual Studio 2022 to build an appointment booking web application. To mimic real-life, you’ll be using EF, SQL Server, and Cosmos, and utilize patterns including repository, service, and builder. This book will also familiarize you with domain-driven design (DDD) and other software best practices, including SOLID and FIRSTHAND.By the end of this TDD book, you’ll have become confident enough to champion a TDD implementation. You’ll also be equipped with a business and technical case for rolling out TDD or unit testing to present to your management and colleagues.
