If you are a developer for the GNU/Linux system, this book will help you to:
Develop GNU/Linux software that works the way users expect it to.
Write more sophisticated programs with features such as multiprocessing, multi-threading, interprocess communication, and interaction with hardware devices.
Improve your programs by making them run faster, more reliably, and more securely.
Understand the preculiarities of a GNU/Linux system, including its limitations, special capabilities, and conventions.
Rich Hickey invented Clojure. This is a fork of the project to experiment with literate programming as a development and documentation technology.
Every effort is made to give credit for any and all contributions.
Clojure is a break with the past traditions of Lisp. This literate fork is a break with the past traditions of code development. As such it is intended as an experiment, not a replacement or competition with the official version of Clo jure.
Most programmers are still locked into the idea of making a program out of a large pile of tiny files containing pieces of programs. They do not realize that this organization was forced by the fact that machines like the PDP 11 only had 8k of memory and a limit of 4k buffers in the editor. Thus there was a lot of machinery built up, such as overlay linkers, to try to reconstruct the whole program.
The time has come to move into a more rational means of creating and main- taining programs. Knuth suggested we write programs like we write literature, with the idea that we are trying to communicate the ideas to other people. The fact that the machine can also run the programs is a useful side-effect but not important.
Very few people have seen a literate program so this is intended as a complete working example, published in book form. The intent is that you can sit and read this book like any other novel. At the end of it you will be familiar with the ideas and how those ideas are actually expressed in the code.
Well, I previously commented that Advocacy is Volunteering and then I managed to advocate moving clojure to literate form. Since I'm studying the details of the inner workings of Clojure this seemed to be the right time to experiment with a literate form. I have put together the beginnings of a Clojure in Small Pieces book. The book is hyperlinked so if your pdf reader supports it you can go to the index and find pieces of code or move from the table of contents to the appropriate code chunks. Chunking is very coarse-grained at the moment but will become smaller as more code is explained. The literate chunk machinery uses the previously posted code. The code has been lightly modified to fit into the page format. Clearly some of the developers have very wide screens. When rendered on a page in raw form the code runs off the side of the page.
In the book you can see that I've split out portions of the code into the Red-Black section, the Seq section, and the Iterator section. I am also experimenting with parallel programming using both MPI and MapReduce (Hadoop). The idea is to build a multiple node Ants demo that has N independent ant colonies, one per parallel node, all being displayed on a single ant field. I would like the parallel form to be very close in spirit to Rich's original version so I'll have to document that in detail first. Note that the people named on the front cover are from the author tags in the source code. I have no idea who else might have worked on portions of the code. If you know, please let me know. Literature references are especially welcome. I have a few, such as the Multi-Version Concurrency Control papers, which will be added when I get to the STM section. In any case, this is purely an experiment in literate clojure.

Who is this for?
People with no or minimal previous programming experience
People with some programming experience in other programming languages
People who want to explore Nim for the first time, starting from scratch

Freely available source code, with contributions from thousands of programmers around the world: this is the spirit of the software revolution known as Open Source. Open Source has grabbed the computer industry's attention. Netscape has opened the source code to Mozilla; IBM supports Apache; major database vendors haved ported their products to Linux. As enterprises realize the power of the open-source development model, Open Source is becoming a viable mainstream alternative to commercial software.Now in Open Sources, leaders of Open Source come together for the first time to discuss the new vision of the software industry they have created. The essays in this volume offer insight into how the Open Source movement works, why it succeeds, and where it is going.For programmers who have labored on open-source projects, Open Sources is the new gospel: a powerful vision from the movement's spiritual leaders. For businesses integrating open-source software into their enterprise, Open Sources reveals the mysteries of how open development builds better software, and how businesses can leverage freely available software for a competitive business advantage.The contributors here have been the leaders in the open-source arena:
This book explains why the majority of the Internet's servers use open- source technologies for everything from the operating system to Web serving and email. Key technology products developed with open-source software have overtaken and surpassed the commercial efforts of billion dollar companies like Microsoft and IBM to dominate software markets. Learn the inside story of what led Netscape to decide to release its source code using the open-source mode. Learn how Cygnus Solutions builds the world's best compilers by sharing the source code. Learn why venture capitalists are eagerly watching Red Hat Software, a company that gives its key product -- Linux -- away.For the first time in print, this book presents the story of the open- source phenomenon told by the people who created this movement.Open Sources will bring you into the world of free software and show you the revolution.
This book is concerned with three related topics: the field of artificial intelligence, or AI; the skill of computer programming; and the programming language Common Lisp. Careful readers of this book can expect to come away with an appreciation of the major questions and techniques of AI, an understanding of some important AI programs, and an ability to read, modify, and create programs using Common Lisp. The examples in this book are designed to be clear examples of good programming style—paradigms of programming. They are also paradigms of AI research—historically significant programs that use widely applicable techniques to solve important problems.
Just as a liberal arts education includes a course in "the great books" of a culture, so this book is, at one level, a course in "the great programs" that define the AI culture.

Sphinx is a tool that makes it easy to create intelligent and beautiful documentation, written by Georg Brandl and licensed under the BSD license.
It was originally created for the new Python documentation, and it has excellent facilities for the documentation of Python projects, but C/C++ is already supported as well, and it is planned to add special support for other languages as well. Of course, this site is also created from reStructuredText sources using Sphinx! The following features should be highlighted:

LATEX is a typesetting system that is very suitable for producing scientific and mathematical documents of high typographical quality. It is also suitable for producing all sorts of other documents, from simple letters to complete books. LATEX uses TEX as its formatting engine.
This short introduction describes LATEX2ε and should be sufficient for most applications of LATEX.
