PC Assembly Tutorial - Paul Carter
"The tutorial has extensive coverage of interfacing assembly and C code and so might be of interest to C programmers who want to learn about how C works under the hood. All the examples use the free NASM (Netwide) assembler. The tutorial only covers programming under 32-bit protected mode and requires a 32-bit protected mode compiler."
Assembly Language Tutorial - Brian Howard (Apr. 1998)
"This document describes the basics of assembly language programming for the Intel 80x86 microprocessors. It is geared towards using the freely available NetWide Assembler, NASM, to generate programs that will run under MS-DOS. As such, it will concentrate on producing 16-bit .COM programs, using only the facilities that have been present since the original 8086."

FreeBSD Assembly Language Programming - G. Adam Stanislav
"In this tutorial I will attempt to show you how you can use assembly language writing Unix programs, specifically under FreeBSD. This tutorial does not explain the basics of assembly language. ... However, once the tutorial is finished, any assembly language programmer will be able to write programs for FreeBSD quickly and efficiently."

awk/gawk

"Why is AWK so important? It is an excellent filter and report writer. Many UNIX utilities generates rows and columns of information. AWK is an excellent tool for processing these rows and columns, and is easier to use AWK than most conventional programming languages. It can be considered to be a pseudo-C interpretor, as it understands the same arithmatic operators as C. AWK also has string manipulation functions, so it can search for particular strings and modify the output. AWK also has associative arrays, which are incredible useful, and is a feature most computing languages lack. Associative arrays can make a complex problem a trivial exercise." - Bruce Barnett (from Awk)

  "What follows is a set of rules, guidelines, and tips that we have found to be useful in making C++ code portable across many machines and compilers. This information is the result of porting large amounts of code across about 25 different machines, and at least a dozen different C++ compilers. Some of these things will frustrate you and make you want to throw your hands up and say, ``well, that's just a stupid compiler if it doesn't do [insert favorite C++ feature].'' But this is the reality of portable code. If you play by the rules, your code will seamlessly work on all of the Mozilla platforms and will be easy to port to newer machines."

CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and is a simple styling language which allows attaching style to HTML elements. Every element type as well as every occurance of a specific element within that type can be declared an unique style, e.g. margins, positioning, color or size.

IEEE 754

"IEEE 754-1985 governs binary floating-point arithmetic. It specifies number formats, basic operations, conversions, and exceptional conditions. The related standard IEEE 854-1987 generalizes 754 to cover decimal arithmetic as well as binary." - IEEE 754 Group

ILU

"The Inter-Language Unification system (ILU) is a multi-language object interface system. The object interfaces provided by ILU hide implementation distinctions between different languages, between different address spaces, and between operating system types. ILU can be used to build multi-lingual object-oriented libraries ("class libraries") with well-specified language-independent interfaces. It can also be used to implement distributed systems. It can also be used to define and document interfaces between the modules of non-distributed programs. ILU interfaces can be specified in either the OMG's CORBA Interface Definition Language (OMG IDL), or ILU's Interface Specification Language (ISL). - Inter-Language Unification Page

IPC

"The IPC interface in BSD-like versions of Unix is implemented as a layer over the network TCP and UDP protocols. Message destinations are specified as socket addresses; each socket address is a communication identifier that consists of a port number and an Internet address.

The IPC operations are based on socket pairs, one belonging to a communication process. IPC is done by exchanging some data through transmitting that data in a message between a socket in one process and another socket in another process. When messages are sent, the messages are queued at the sending socket until the underlying network protocol has transmitted them. When they arrive, the messages are queued at the receiving socket until the receiving process makes the necessary calls to receive them." - Sockets Programming in Java

sed

"Sed is the ultimate stream editor. If that sounds strange, picture a stream flowing through a pipe. Okay, you can't see a stream if it's inside a pipe. That's what I get for attempting a flowing analogy. You want literature, read James Joyce. Anyhow, sed is a marvelous utility. Unfortunately, most people never learn its real power. The language is very simple, but the documentation is terrible. The on-line manual pages for sed are five pages long, and two of those pages describe the 34 different errors you can get. A program that spends as much space documenting the errors that it does documenting the language has a serious learning curve." - Bruce Barnett (from Sed)

Shells

"What is a shell, anyway? It's simple, really. The UNIX operating system is a complex collection of files and programs. UNIX does not require any single method or interface. Many different techniques can be used. The oldest interface, which sits between the user and the software, is the shell. Twenty five years ago many users didn't even have a video terminal. Some only had a noisy, large, slow hard-copy terminal. The shell was the interface to the operating system. Shell, layer, interface, these words all describe the same concept. By convention, a shell is a user program that is ASCII based, that allows the user to specify operations in a certain sequence.

There are four important concepts in a UNIX shell:

The user interacts with the system using a shell.

A sequence of operations can be scripted, or automatic, by placing the operations in a script file.

A shell is a full featured programming language, with variables, conditional statements, and the ability to execute other programs. It can be, and is, used to prototype new programs.

A shell allows you to easily create a new program that is not a "second-class citizen," but instead is a program with all of the privileges of any other UNIX program." - Bruce Barnett (from Sh)

UNIX Shell Patterns - Jim Coplien et al. (1996)
"Shell has emerged as a family of programming languages for the UNIX Operating System in the same sense that JCL emerged as a programming language for mainframe job control in the 1960s. It is a family of languages because we find variant syntaxes and capabilities in the Bourne shell, the Korn shell, the C shell, and others. Most of the patterns described here apply equally well to all these variants. These patterns do not form a full pattern language nor are they a comprehensive collection of patterns for the "architecture" of a Shell program. They cover frequent Shell programming problems that often are resolved only with expert insight."

Emacs Shell (Eshell)
"Eshell is a command shell implemented entirely in Emacs Lisp. It invokes no external processes beyond those requested by the user. It is intended to be a functional replacement for command shells such as bash, zsh, rc, 4dos; since Emacs itself is capable of handling most of the tasks accomplished by such tools."
hush FAQ - Jaco van Ossenbruggen (May 1997)
"The standard interpreter associated with the hush library is a shell, called hush, including a number of the available extensions of Tcl/Tk and widgets developed by ourselves (such as a www and a video widget). The hush library offers a C++ interface to the Tcl/Tk toolkit and its extensions. It allows the programmer to employ the functionality of Tcl/Tk in a C++ program."
scsh FAQ - Michel Schinz (Nov. 2002)
Scsh is a Scheme shell, i.e. a Unix shell which uses Scheme as its scripting language.

XML

XML is the Extensible Markup Language. It is designed to improve the functionality of the Web by providing more flexible and adaptable information identification. It is called extensible because it is not a fixed format like HTML (a single, predefined markup language). Instead, XML is actually a `metalanguage' - a language for describing other languages - hich lets you design your own customized markup languages for limitless different types of documents. XML can do this because it's written in SGML, the international standard metalanguage for text markup systems (ISO 8879). - XML FAQ

X3D

X3D is a powerful and extensible open file format standard for 3D visual effects, behavioral modelling and interaction. It provides an XML-encoded scene graph and a language-neutral Scene Authoring Interface (SAI). The XML encoding enables 3D to be incorporated into web services architectures and distributed environments, and facilitates moving 3D data between applications. The Scene Authoring Interface allows real time 3D content and controls to be easily integrated into a broad range of web and non-web applications.
