I have the old 8book O'Reily Serious "The X Resources" in my bookshelf bought about 15 years ago. Is there any book which is explaining the new technologies and X11 extensions like XDnD, Xinerama, XCursor, XRandR, XRender, XIM + Input Methods etc. maybe with a chapter (but not more) of GTK and QT.

I'm looking for a good algorithms reference for functional programming. I have this book: but all the examples are written in a procedural pseudocode. It's a fantastic book, though! I also have this one: Although all the examples are in Standard ML and Haskell, it's not really a complete reference since it doesn't cover some of th...
I want to play around with FPGAs. I'm looking for advice getting on started. Can anyone recommend good FPGA boards that I easily start programming for? How much should I look at spending? Can I avoid buying a FPGA board now, and just emulate the code I write? Are there portability issues between different boards? What languages are ...

After I read jQuery in Action, I could grok the purpose and strengths of the jQuery Core API. To date, I've used jQuery in several production applications. But now I'd like to graduate from a jQuery novice to a jQuery professional. Do any blogs or books detail how jQuery can be truly useful in production applications? Essentia...
I'm looking for a comprehensive and up-to-date reference (preferably in book form) on OpenGL. I'd like to find something that covers OpenGL 3.0 but also need information on OpenGL 2.1 for older hardware (my understanding is that DirectX 10 level hardware is necessary for OpenGL 3 functionality). I'm strongly considering the OpenGL Super...
I'm the worst example of a hack coder - 7 or 8 years of Perl and a bit of Ruby layered on top of early 90's excursions into Pascal and C. No formal training and it shows. I write code to get my job done. It's never elegant (but it works) and I'm forever looking at problems knowing that somewhere there is a much more elegant solution f...
Hello, I've been programming for a 'few' years now and ofcourse I'm always trying to improve myself. That's why I'm looking for some good books and especially 'best practice' books with things like: What to do What not to do What is more efficient/Optimization Clean and tidy programming Maybe it doesn't have to be php specific but ...
I have recently finished reading C# in depth by Jon Skeet and I'm looking for the next book to read, one that extends a little more "in depth" my knowledge of c# and .NET in general and I'd be open to other kind of books. I've read Code Complete and The Mythical Man-Month, and though I find them both to be awesome, I'm looking more for a...
I am mainly a C++ developer with decent knowledge of other languages. At work we develop a C++ browser plugin which has some associated web code written using PHP, MySQL, Javascript and Dojo. The problem is that we are a small team and none of us is specialized in web development. In other words, everybody knows what I know: to write s...
Is there a difference between multithreaded and parallel programming? If related (which I guess they are) is parallel programming the successor of multithreaded programming in terms of terminology? The reason I am asking is because I want to buy a book on one (maybe both) of the above. ...
Hi all, can you suggest me some good literature or course or manual to set up a small size (20-25 machines quad-core) computer cluster? Ideally, from zero to having a fully-functional multiuser queuing system. Thanks a lot :-) ...
I'm taking a very basic university course on OS kernels and related stuff (process management, virtual memory, file systems, drivers..) I wanted to deepen my understanding of Linux in these fields, but also get to know it from a more practical point of view (important directories, the shell, important logs and files, hacking in general) ...
Hi, I want to start coding applications for mobile devices. Can anyone recommend me a good book to start coding in Java? (I am an experience programmer in .NET and PHP). ...
I’ve been professionally writing VB.NET software for seven years. However, I don’t have a strong computer science background – four courses while studying education at university in the 90s that gave me some CS basics and exposure to Pascal, C and Lisp. Anyway, there are a whole bunch of practices that I’m missing – testing, patterns, ...
Any recommendations, as I need to learn regular expressions to search for specific string and replace using specific operators. I have looked at the php functions such as preg_match && preg_replace and understood how they work but all I need is to be more familiar with the operators for expressions. Thanks. ...
Hi, I'm continiously impressed with the bitmagic used in chess engines, 3dgames and other highly optimized codebases. I've tried to read about IEEE and the article at topcoder, but I would like a more elaborate material, like a book. Do anybody know such a book, that describes the layout of IEEE, the bit tricks and the math behind them?...
