Industry Experience:

Worked at IBM as a systems programmer. Worked on IBM operating systems, compilers, and mainframe hardware.

Specialties:

Textbooks:

Study of C and C++ at the assembly language level.
Covers machine language, assembly language, interpreters, compilers, C, C++, microprogramming, and computer architecture.
Accompanied by an easy-to-install (simply unzip the zip file), easy-to-use assembler, linker, debugger, and interpreter that runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Raspbian.

Emphasizes system concepts.
Accompanied by an easy-to-install (simply unzip the zip file), easy-to-use assembler, linker, debugger, and interpreter that runs on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Raspbian.

Minor revision of the highly-acclaimed first edition.
Emphasizes system concepts.
Program verification feature gives user immediate feedback on the correctness of the assigned programs.
Accompanied by a software package that supports Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and Raspbian (available as a free download).

Only prerequisite is experience with any programming language.
You do not need a Raspberry Pi. The software package for the book includes an ARM/Raspberry Pi assembly language interpreter/debugger. Allows you to run ARM/Raspberry Pi assembly language programs on a Windows, OS X, or Linux system.
Covers Python, bytecode, ARM/Raspberry Pi assembly language, language processing theory, interpreters, and compilers.
Covers three types of language processors: pure interpreters, hybrid interpreters, and compilers.
The entire book is Python oriented.

Covers system concepts thoroughly and concretely. For example, students not only study instruction sets, they implement and evaluate their own.
Provides an invaluable "under-the-hood" examination of C++ and Java.
Software runs on MS-DOS, Windows, Sun SPARC Solaris, X86 Linux, and Macintosh OS X.
Includes coverage of the SPARC, Pentium, and the Java Virtual Machine.

Comprehensive treatment of compiler construction.
JavaCC and Yacc coverage optional.
Entire book is Java oriented.
Powerful software package available to students that tests and evaluates their compilers.
Fully defines many projects so students can learn how to put the theory into practice.
Includes supplements on theory so that the book can be used in a course that combines compiler construction with formal languages, automata theory, and computability theory.

Easy-to-read introduction to abstract algebra.
Go-to book if you are having trouble understanding your required textbook or your professor.
Covers prerequisite math, groups, rings, integral domains, fields, polynomials, vector spaces, lattices, and Boolean algebra.
Gets you to think mathematically and to do mathematics--to experiment, make conjectures, and prove theorems--while reading the book.
Only prerequisite is high school algebra.

Provides an invaluable insight into C and C++ in particular and programming language in general.
Examines C and C++ at the assembly level.
Learn how virtual functions work, what an object really is, how separately compiled C modules are linked together, how the argc and argv parameters are created, and more.
Software package supports Windows, OS X, Linux, and Raspbian.
