Book DescriptionClojure in Action is a hands-on tutorial for the working programmer who has written code in a language like Java or Ruby, but has no prior experience with Lisp. It teaches Clojure from the basics to advanced topics using practical, real-world application examples. Blow through the theory and dive into practical matters like unit-testing and environment set-up, all the way through building a scalable web-application using domain-specific languages, Hadoop, HBase, and RabbitMQ. Clojure is a modern Lisp for the JVM, and it has the strengths you’d expect: first-class functions, macros, support for functional programming, and a Lisp-like, clean programming style. Clojure in Action is a practical guide focused on applying Clojure to practical programming challenges. You’ll start with a language tutorial written for readers who already know OOP. Then, you’ll dive into the use cases where Clojure really shines: state management, safe concurrency and multicore programming, first-class code generation, and Java interop. In each chapter, you’ll first explore the unique characteristics of a problem area and then discover how to tackle them using Clojure. Along the way, you’ll explore practical matters like architecture, unit testing, and set-up as you build a scalable web application that includes custom DSLs, Hadoop, HBase, and RabbitMQ. What’s Inside
This book assumes you’re familiar with an OO language like Java, C#, or C++ but requires no background in Lisp or Clojure itself. Table of Contents Part 2: Getting real Book Details

Book DescriptionOpenCL in Action is a thorough, hands-on presentation of OpenCL, with an eye toward showing developers how to build high-performance applications of their own. It begins by presenting the core concepts behind OpenCL, including vector computing, parallel programming, and multi-threaded operations, and then guides you step-by-step from simple data structures to complex functions. Whatever system you have, it probably has more raw processing power than you’re using. OpenCL is a high-performance programming language that maximizes computational power by executing on CPUs, graphics processors, and other number-crunching devices. It’s perfect for speed-sensitive tasks like vector computing, matrix operations, and graphics acceleration. OpenCL in Action blends the theory of parallel computing with the practical reality of building high-performance applications using OpenCL. It first guides you through the fundamental data structures in an intuitive manner. Then, it explains techniques for high-speed sorting, image processing, matrix operations, and fast Fourier transform. The book concludes with a deep look at the all-important subject of graphics acceleration. Numerous challenging examples give you different ways to experiment with working code. A background in C or C++ is helpful, but no prior exposure to OpenCL is needed. What’s Inside
