Learning to program isn't just learning the details of a programming language: to become a good programmer you have to become expert at debugging, testing, writing clear code and generally unsticking yourself when you get stuck, while to do well in a programming course you have to learn to score highly in coursework and exams. Featuring tips, stories and explanations of key terms, this book teaches these skills explicitly. Examples in Python, Java and Haskell are included, helping you to gain transferable programming skills whichever language you are learning. Intended for students in Higher or Further Education studying early programming courses, it will help you succeed in, and get the most out of, your course, and support you in developing the software engineering habits that lead to good programs.

Bidirectional transformations (BX) are means of maintaining consistency between multiple information sources: when one source is edited, the others may need updating to restore consistency. BX have applications in databases, user interface design, model-driven development, and many other domains.This volume represents the lecture notes from the Summer School on Bidirectional Transformations, held in Oxford, UK, in July 2016. The school was one of the final activities on the project "A Theory of Least Change for Bidirectional Transformations", running at the University of Oxford and the University of Edinburgh from 2013 to 2017 and funded by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The five chapters included in this volume are a record of most of the material presented at the summer school. After a comprehensive introduction to bidirectional transformations, they deal with triple graph grammars, modular edit lenses, putback-based bidirectional programming, and engineering of bidirectional transformations.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th International Conference on the Unified Modelling Language, UML 2003, held in San Francisco, CA, USA in October 2003.The 25 revised full papers, 4 tool papers, and 1 experience paper presented together with the abstracts of 3 invited talks and summaries on the UML 2003 workshop and tutorials were carefully reviewed and selected from initially 168 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on practical model management, time and quality of service, tools, composition and architecture, transformation, Web related issues, testing and validation, improving UML/OCL, consistency, and methodology.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th IFIP WG 6.1 International Conference on Formal Methods for Open Object-Based Distributed Systems, FMOODS 2003, held in Paris, France in November 2003.The 18 revised full papers presented together with an invited paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 78 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on models, logic and verification, calculi, Java and .NET, UML, and composition and verification.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems, TACAS 2002, held in Grenoble, France, in April 2002. The 29 revised full papers presented together with one invited paper and four tool papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 95 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on real-time and probabilistic systems, scheduling, miscellaneous, software verification, infinite-state and parametric systems, model checking: logics and algorithms, model checking and testing, partial-order and simulation techniques, and debugging with model checking.
