C Mini Reference 2023

Learn C# in a Weekend! This book is a "mini" language reference on the C# programming language. C# is one of the ".NET" languages, and it is widely used for Web application development (ASP.NET), among other things. We go through all essential features of the modern C# programming language (as of C# 10.0 and C# 11.0 on .NET 6/7) in this book. Although the book is written in a reference style, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the modern C# language (but not necessarily all the gory details) if you have some prior experience with C# or other similar languages such as C++ or Java. Note: This book is a language reference (although written in an informal style), and not a tutorial. It is not intended for complete beginners. The book covers * High-level C# program structure. Namespaces. * C# type system. Value types, reference types. * Built-in types. Arrays, tuples. * Variable declarations. Statements. * Expressions. Pattern matching. * Generics, type constraints. * Interfaces, delegates, events. * Classes, structs, records. * Lambda expressions, local functions. * Extension methods. * Exception handling.

Become a Better Javascript Programmer! Typescript is a better Javascript, It is a statically typed, safe programming language, which uses more or less the same syntax as Javascript. Typescript programs are compiled to Javascript, and they can be run anywhere Javascript is supported. It is widely used by professional Javascript developers, for frontend development (e.g., Angular, React, and VueJS) as well as for backend development (e.g., Node.Js and Deno). This book is a "mini" language reference on the Typescript programming language. We go through all essential features of Typescript (as of versions 4.8 and 4.9), and some new ECMAScript features, in this book. Although it is written as a reference, however, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the Typescript language if you have some prior experience with programming in Typescript or modern Javascript (ES2015 and later). This book is, however, not intended for complete beginners. The book covers * Typescript development basics. * ES module system. * Basic JS/TS types. Type annotations. * Variable declarations. Type inference. * Algebraic data types. Generics. * Objects. Classes. * Function types. Arrow functions. * How to create new types from existing types. Order your copy today!

Learn Golang Essentials in a Weekend! Go is one of the most powerful, and yet the simplest, modern programming languages. We go through all important features of the modern Go programming language (as of 1.18 and 1.19 - 2022), including generics!! Why Go? * Go is a simple, easy to learn and use, beginner-friendly high-level programming language. * Go is suitable for low-level systems programming, traditionally done by low level languages like C. * Go is one of the most popular languages in modern Web services and application development. * Go is one of the most widely used CLI application languages for system administration and network management. * Go is fun! Although the book is written as a reference, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the Go language (but not necessarily all the gory details) if you have some prior experience with programming in Go or other similar C-style languages. The book covers * Go toolchain. Workspaces, modules. * Go program execution model. Packages. * Variable, constant declarations. * Builtin types, builtin functions. * Structs, interfaces. Generic types. * Functions, methods. Generic functions. * Expressions and statements. * Goroutines. The book also includes a bonus chapter on generics for people who are new to programming with the parameterized types. Generics brings the power of the modern type system to the Go programming language. You won't be able to program effectively in Go without fully utilizing generics moving forward.

Learn Python in a Weekend! This book is an (informal) language reference on the Python programming language. Python is one of the most widely used languages in many different application areas. We go through all essential features of the modern Python programming language, including the match statement (3.10) and exception groups (3.11). Although the book is written as a reference, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the Python language if you have some prior experience with programming in Python. The book covers * Python program top-level components. * Python package/module import system. * Builtin type hierarchy. Data model. * List, map, tuple literals. * Expressions. Simple and compound statements. * Function, class definitions. * Object oriented programming in Python. * Structural pattern matching. * Coroutines, async/await.

Learn Rust the Right Way! This book is a mini language reference on the Rust programming language. We go through all essential features of Rust 2021 Edition (and some newer language features) in this book. Rust is one of the most powerful languages, originally created for low-level systems programming. Rust is now widely used in other areas as well, such as Web application development. Rust is, in fact, one of the most popular/loved languages among developers. (And yet, it is one of the most difficult programming languages to learn.) This book is specifically written for * Experienced programmers who are new to Rust, or * Beginning Rust programmers who want to learn various fundamental concepts in Rust programming. That is, if you have some prior experience with Rust or other similar languages like C++ or Haskell, etc., then this book is for you. This book is, however, ultimately a "language reference", and it is not intended for complete beginners. The book covers * Rust crates. * Rust program items. * Names and variables. * Ownership and borrowing. * Blocks, scopes, lifetimes. * Types, traits, generics. * Special types, special traits. * Expressions. Statements. * Pattern matching. * Error handling. * Common macros. * Builtin attributes. Order your copy today and learn Rust the right way!

The Model Rules of Professional Conduct provides an up-to-date resource for information on legal ethics. Federal, state and local courts in all jurisdictions look to the Rules for guidance in solving lawyer malpractice cases, disciplinary actions, disqualification issues, sanctions questions and much more. In this volume, black-letter Rules of Professional Conduct are followed by numbered Comments that explain each Rule's purpose and provide suggestions for its practical application. The Rules will help you identify proper conduct in a variety of given situations, review those instances where discretionary action is possible, and define the nature of the relationship between you and your clients, colleagues and the courts.
