Book Description

It’s all in the name: Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! is a hilarious, illustrated guide to this complex functional language. Packed with the author’s original artwork, pop culture references, and most importantly, useful example code, this book teaches functional fundamentals in a way you never thought possible.

You’ll start with the kid stuff: basic syntax, recursion, types and type classes. Then once you’ve got the basics down, the real black belt master-class begins: you’ll learn to use applicative functors, monads, zippers, and all the other mythical Haskell constructs you’ve only read about in storybooks.

As you work your way through the author’s imaginative (and occasionally insane) examples, you’ll learn to:

• Laugh in the face of side effects as you wield purely functional programming techniques
• Use the magic of Haskell’s “laziness” to play with infinite sets of data
• Organize your programs by creating your own types, type classes, and modules
• Use Haskell’s elegant input/output system to share the genius of your programs with the outside world

Short of eating the author’s brain, you will not find a better way to learn this powerful language than reading Learn You a Haskell for Great Good! Download Now »

Book Description

Good backup and recovery strategies are key to the health of any organization. Medium- to very-large-scale systems administrators have to protect large amounts of critical data as well as design backup solutions that are scalable and optimized to meet changing conditions. Pro Data Backup and Recovery will cover some of the more common backup applications, such as Symantec NetBackup/BackupExec, EMC NetWorker, and CommVault, but the main discussion will focus on the implementation of 21st century architectures that allow the backup software to be a “commodity” item. The underlying architecture provides the framework for meeting the requirements of data protection for the organization.

This book covers new developments in data protection as well as the impact of single-instance storage upon backup infrastructures. It discusses the impact of backup and data replication, the often misapplied B2D and D2D strategies, and “tapeless” backup environments. Continuous data protection and remote replication strategies are also addressed as they are integrated within backup strategies—a very important topic today.

Learn backup solution design regardless of specific backup software
Design realistic recovery solutions
Take into account new data protection standards and the impact of data replication

Whether you are using NetBackup, CommVault, or some other backup software, Pro Data Backup and Recovery will give you the information you need to keep your data safe and available. Download Now »

Book Description

The Third Edition of CMOS Circuit Design, Layout, and Simulation continues to cover the practical design of both analog and digital integrated circuits, offering a vital, contemporary view of a wide range of analog/digital circuit blocks including: phase-locked-loops, delta-sigma sensing circuits, voltage/current references, op-amps, the design of data converters, and much more. Regardless of one’s integrated circuit (IC) design skill level, this book allows readers to experience both the theory behind, and the hands-on implementation of, complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) IC design via detailed derivations, discussions, and hundreds of design, layout, and simulation examples.

Book Description

The Most Complete, Modern, and Useful Collection of DSP Recipes: More Than 50 Practical Solutions and More than 30 Summaries of Pertinent Mathematical Concepts for Working Engineers

Notes on Digital Signal Processing is a comprehensive, easy-to-use collection of step-by-step procedures for designing and implementing modern DSP solutions. Leading DSP expert and IEEE Signal Processing Magazine associate editor C. Britton Rorabaugh goes far beyond the basic procedures found in other books while providing the supporting explanations and mathematical materials needed for a deeper understanding.

Rorabaugh covers the full spectrum of challenges working engineers are likely to encounter and delves into crucial DSP nuances discussed nowhere else. Readers will find valuable, tested recipes for working with multiple sampling techniques; Fourier analysis and fast Fourier transforms; window functions; classical spectrum analysis; FIR and IIR filter design; analog prototype filters; z-transform analysis; multirate and statistical signal processing; bandpass and quadrature techniques; and much more.

Notes on Digital Signal Processing begins with mapping diagrams that illuminate the relationships between all topics covered in the book. Many recipes include examples demonstrating actual applications, and most sections rely on widely used MATLAB tools.
