$4.00 Icon Programming for Humanists, 2nd Edition, by Alan D. Corre is a 7x9.25" paperback, 125pp. We are pleased to publish this out-of-print classic, with many updates and a new chapter on processing of markup languages ($20 postpaid in USA; first printing, 9/2010). "Program Monitoring and Visualization", published by Springer! This book presents software visualization at a level suitable for a senior-level undergraduate or graduate course, or for the interested technical professional. The approach is to give a survey of the field, and then present a specific research framework designed to reduce the effort required to write visualization tools. A wide range of simple program control flow and data structure visualizations is then presented as examples of how to obtain information about program behavior, and how to present it graphically. Source code fragments and screen images illustrate each example. The book is the primary reference on Icon and Unicon language extensions for high-level monitoring and visualization. These facilities are further enhanced in Unicon, which provides them as a standard part of the language.

Our Balance: $ 2000

As an experiment, we are keeping a public track of our book balance. You can view on this page the progress we are making towards acquiring hardware, software, or publication resources for use by the Unicon project, or resources that can buy time for Clint Jeffery or a student research assistant to work on improving Unicon. Most improvements to Unicon are the result of volunteers on multiple continents donating their time to add capabilities they wish to use themselves, but Jeffery Systems will hire students to make contributions when we can. Book orders will be reflected in this balance when they are shipped, at which time the shipping costs are known and the net proceeds can be determined.
