learn to code in C#

Small Cover.jpg
The C# Yellow Book is used by the Department of Computer Science in the University of Hull as the basis of the First Year programming course. You can download your own copy from here.  
We give away a free printed copy to students when they arrive in the department, and we also give a copy away to anyone who comes to see us on an Open Day. This is the 2014 version of the book, the Rubber Duck edition. 
The material in the Yellow Book is Copyright (c) Rob Miles and the University of Hull 2014. If you find any mistakes in the text (it has been known) then I would be most grateful if you could send me an email to foundamistake@robmiles.com so that I can put it right.

Making Python Programs Blazingly Fast

Let’s look at the performance of our Python programs and see how to make them up to 30% faster! Python  haters always say, that one of the reasons they don’t want to use it, is that it’s  slow . Well, whether specific program — regardless of the programming language used — is fast or slow is very much dependent on the developer who wrote it and their skill and ability to write  optimized  and  fast  programs. So, let’s prove some people wrong and let’s see how we can improve performance of our  Python  programs and make them really fast! Timing and Profiling Before we start optimizing anything, we first need to find out which parts of our code actually slow down the whole program. Sometimes the bottleneck of the program might be obvious, but in case you don’t know where it is, then here are options you have for finding out: Note: This is the program I will be using for demonstration purposes, it computes  e  to pow...

Kubernetes – init containers, CNI and more

Certain questions about Kubernetes seem to come up again and again: What’s up with this init container stuff? What’s a CNI plugin? Why is Kubernetes complaining about pods not finishing initialisation? Kubernetes is a complex system with a simple overall purpose: run user  workloads  in a way that permits the authors of the workloads to not care (much) about the messy details of the hardware underneath. The workload authors are supposed to be able to just focus on Pods and Services; in turn, Kubernetes is meant to arrange things such that workloads get mapped to Pods, Pods get deployed on Nodes, and the network in between looks flat and transparent. This is simple to state, but  extremely  complex to implement in practice. (This is an area where Kubernetes is doing a great job of making things complex for the Kubernetes implementors so that they can be easier for the users – nicely done!) Under the hood, Kubernetes is leaning heavily on a number of technologies to ma...
