About the Books
Practical Lua 5 Programming
Explore Lua’s programming capabilities with 100+ sample demonstrations and programs
If you're into Lua programming, then this "Practical Lua 5 Programming" is a must-read. It's a hands-on book that'll help you get up and running quickly. It's got clear, step-by-step examples that'll walk you through everything from setting up your development environment to building dynamic web applications and embedding Lua in other programming languages.
Every chapter starts with an essential concept and then gives you some practical exercises to help you learn it. You'll see how powerful Lua can be as you work through problems and get immediate results. You'll start with the basics, like installing Lua on Linux, writing your first script, and learning the core language features like variables, data types, tables, functions, and control structures. And it gets even better—you'll dive into advanced stuff like metatables, coroutines, and closures. This is where you'll learn how to make flexible, modular code. The book also covers important stuff like file handling, using LuaRocks to manage your packages, and creating your own custom modules.
The book also takes you through web development using Lapis framework, demonstrating routing, template rendering, session management, and deploying applications. You'll also see how Lua can be embedded in JavaScript and Python applications, enabling you to leverage Lua's speed and efficiency in varied environments. Whether you're building scripts, web applications, or integrating Lua with other languages, this book gives you the tools and insights you need to get started confidently with Lua programming.

Modern C++23 QuickStart Pro
Advanced programming including variadic templates, lambdas, async IO, multithreading and thread sync
Learn the latest features of C++23 with Modern C++ 23 QuickStart Pro, the perfect book for experienced developers who want to expand their knowledge and skills. This book takes a hands-on approach, providing rapid learning through real-world examples and scenarios that address complex programming challenges in C++.
The book begins by demonstrating the power of variadic templates and how to use them for dynamic function signatures. After becoming familiar with fold expressions for argument handling, you will then explore std::tuple and std::variant for handling heterogeneous data. The book then covers advanced function morphing with parameter packs and shape-shifting lambdas, as well as dynamic programming techniques. It also teaches complex function overloading and high-level thread orchestration using futures, promises, and callables. Next, we'll go over some low-level IO operations, such as controlling IO streams, efficiently handling file descriptors, and directly manipulating files.
You will then learn how to optimize memory management with shared, unique, and weak pointers, and how to engineer memory performance with custom allocators and cache-aware programming. You will learn advanced synchronization, including atomic operations, mutexes, locks, and thread pools, as well as lock-free data structures for peak performance. In addition, this book covers optimal integer and floating-point operations, arbitrary precision arithmetic, precise rounding with fixed-point arithmetic, and high-performance computation using math constant integration.
Key Learnings
- Utilize C++23 variadic templates for dynamic function signatures.
- Use fold expressions to simplify complex function operations and argument handling.
- Manage heterogeneous data in high-performance applications with std::tuple and std::variant.
- Use parameter packs and perfect forwarding to create flexible function signatures.
- Use shape-shifting lambdas for flexible argument patterns.
- Master file manipulation and stream management to create efficient low-level IO systems.
- Customize memory management with unique, shared, and weak pointers to control resources.
- Boost parallel processing with mutexes, locks, and thread pools.
- Create lock-free data structures to reduce locking overhead in concurrent systems.
- Use mathematical constants and precise rounding to improve numerical computations.
