Mathematics For Computer Graphics

Friday, November 16, 2007

Baffled by math? Then don't give up hope. John Vince will show you how to understand many of the mathematical ideas used in computer animation, virtual reality, CAD, and other areas of computer graphics. In thirteen chapters you will rediscover - and hopefully discover for the first time a new way of understanding - the mathematical techniques required to solve problems and design computer programs for computer graphic applications. Each chapter explores a specific mathematical topic and takes you forward into more advanced areas until you are able to understand 3D curves and surface patches, and solve problems using vectors. After reading the book, you should be able to refer to more challenging books with confidence and develop a greater insight into the design of computer graphics software. Get to grips with mathematics fast - Numbers, Algebra, Trigonometry, Coordinate geometry, Transforms, Vectors, Curves and surfaces, Barycentric coordinates, Analytic geometry.

Visual Basic NET Power Tools - Sybex

Visual Basic .NET WAS not written by Visual Basic programmers. The entire .NET family of languages was created by C programmers. C—and its cohort OOP—is an academic language. Visual Basic is a popular language. These facts have consequences.The authors of this book are not beholden to any organization. We’re not writing for MS Press, nor are we affiliated with any corporation or school. Indeed, we like to think that we’re not dependent on anyone for our paycheck—other than you, dear reader—and can therefore be more objective than many of our colleagues.
We can ask heretical questions such as why OOP should be used in all programming situations as many of its proponents insist. We can question the wisdom of allowing C programmers to write the narratives and code examples for the Help system in VB.NET. We can wonder why structures are included in VB.NET if OOP experts insist that you should never use them.
We can freely applaud VB.NET when it improves on traditional VB programming features (streaming and serialization, for instance), and point out when VB.NET creates needless confusion. (Some collections in VB.NET are zero-based; some are one-based. And there’s no rhyme or reason involved, no pattern you can discover, no rule you can learn, to deal with this problem.)
Another benefit of being outside programming and academic officialdom is that we can be clear. There is a lingo developing around programming, and too much of it appears to serve no real purpose other than job protection. If others cannot read your source code, or even understand your comments, then it’s likely they’ll respect you and you’ll keep your job. Likewise, if you follow the party line and keep your geek-speak up-to-date, you’ll be on the team. So the usual little closed society of a priest class is being built. Remember that only a short time ago mass was said in Latin, a language that the churchgoers couldn’t understand. And if you visit a college class in music theory or film theory today, you won’t comprehend most of what’s being said.

Designing Enterprise Applications with VB.NET

This book provides the detailed guidance you need to make the right choices as you design and build enterprise-level applications with Visual Basic .NET. The author—a former member of the MS Visual Studio® .NET team with extensive experience in designing, testing, and optimizing enterprise applications—discusses the technical and architectural trade-offs you’ll face as you develop large, multitier, multideveloper distributed applications. He also shows how to create a workable enterprise infrastructure, and he reveals inside tips and techniques for implementation, performance tuning, and testing. You’ll find out how to take advantage of key state-of-the-art OOP features in Visual Basic .NET plus platform enhancements in MS .NET to develop serious enterprise applications quickly.Most of what I’ll cover in this book applies to a broad spectrum of applications. Our discussion will focus on development for the enterprise, but you can use the advanced programming techniques and strategies presented here to write better and more sophisticated applications of all kinds in Visual Basic .NET. In addition, much of the techniques, technologies, and development approaches covered here apply equally well to all .NET languages, including C#.
This is not a design patterns book. This book will instead focus on how to use more advanced features of Visual Basic .NET and the .NET Framework to build into your applications common features that have in the past been too difficult to build in. Also, do not think that the purpose of this book is to make you an “enterprise developer.” This book provides a set of fundamental skills and technologies in an accessible fashion for the average developer. Think of this book as a stepping-stone to more advanced development topics.
There are two core audiences for this book: the novice Visual Basic .NET programmer and the classically trained Visual Basic developer who, already familiar with the Visual Basic .NET language, wants to see how new platform features can be and should be integrated into applications. Most of the material in this book is intended to be an extension of existing technical resources. If you’re expecting a ground-up introduction to Visual Basic .NET, you’ll be disappointed. I have an expectation that you have a basic familiarity with the language and platform. If you do not, there are plenty of excellent books from MS Press on the subject of Visual Basic .NET and I’d recommend starting there.

Deploying Solutions With .NET Enterprise Servers

This book has been written from the perspective of the solutions that developers may need to create. The .NET Enterprise Servers are the tool, not the solution. In reality, the solution may require multiple applications that work together to fulfill the developer’s business need. This book is designed to help readers recognize how they can better fulfill their business needs with the Microsoft .NET Enterprise Servers.This book is unique in the breadth of topics covered. Each of the .NET Enterprise Servers is described in some depth. The book assumes that the reader has a basic understanding of the products and some of their features. The book focuses on how each product enhances or uses the .NET services and how it will help solve business process requirements.
This book is designed to help readers see Microsoft’s vision for the .NET Enterprise Servers. Examples illustrate how each of these servers can be used to help create business solutions.

Special Edition Using MS Visual Basic .NET

This book will offer in-depth explorations of new features so that both experienced programmers and novices will feel comfortable making the transition to .NET. Although a major portion of the book is devoted to Internet applications, the book covers more general topics than many other books. Features of Visual Basic that will be explained include database access, controls, and best coding and practices. These features will be explored in detail, with extensive use of example programs and screen captures.We feel that this book has something to offer for all skill levels. If you have never used Visual Basic before, the initial chapters provide the necessary step-by-step instructions to get you used to the Visual Studio programming environment. Users of previous versions of Visual Basic (experienced or not) will appreciate extensive, detailed coverage of the new features available in VB .NET and explanations of the changes from previous versions. Readers who are new to computer programming in general should note that technical details are sprinkled with “words of wisdom” and real-world examples to help you understand new concepts.
Some readers may need a reference to find information about a particular topic quickly. Other readers might want to follow the book in tutorial style by reading each chapter start to finish. Readers of Special Edition Using Visual Basic .NET should be able do either. Each topic is explained in a narrative fashion, with lists, pictures, and sample code to allow the reader to quickly absorb the technical details. For those seeking instant gratification, many chapters include exercises that provide step-by-step instructions to try out a particular topic on your own.
