Business Wire
Pearson announced today the release of innovative and
authoritative books for both professionals and enthusiasts on a
wide range of topics in computer graphics, human-computer
interaction, and programming at the SIGGRAPH conference, taking
place August 7-11 in Vancouver, BC. Published under the imprints of
Addison-Wesley and Prentice Hall, the new titles show users the
realities of today’s design processes through use of comprehensive
and advanced techniques, and easy-to-use guides for graphic
programming.
New books include:
OpenCL Programming Guide, written by five
leading OpenCL authorities (Aaftab Munshi, Benedict Gaster, Timothy
Mattson, Dan Ginsburg, and James Fung), which targets working
developers and software architects. The authors provide a complete
reference to API and OpenCL programming language, present the
essentials of OpenCL software performance optimization, and through
reviews of key use case studies and downloadable code examples,
show how to write complex parallel algorithms. Book and eBook are
currently both available at InformIT.com and major book
sellers.
Rough Cuts (early access to an author’s
developing manuscript) being announced include:
Core Python Applications Programming, Third
Edition written by Wesley Chun. This book teaches developers who
are ready to expand their Python skills and go beyond the language
and its syntax how to apply their skills to application
programming. Delivering hundreds of industrial-strength code
snippets and examples, the new edition contains not only a
high-level introduction to the topic but also provides real-world
insights for developing applications in Python. Book and eBook are
slated to release in early 2012.
