COMPUTER PROGRAMMING & SOFTWARE

ACM Books

THINKING ABOUT PROGRAMS

Gavin Lowe Describes how to think about computer programs, and how to use mathematics as part of that thinking. Many books and online tutorials teach the basics of coding: the syntax of the language, and how to translate an algorithm into code. But how do you come up with that algorithm? And how can you be confident that the algorithm is correct?

The first part of this book considers small programs that use a loop, and how to demonstrate their correctness using loop invariants. It also covers some algorithms and algorithmic techniques that every programmer should know. The second half of the book considers slightly larger programs, teaching the basics of modularisation, splitting up a program into manageable chunks.

The book is aimed at those who want to obtain a better understanding of programs they work on, and so become better programmers. The target audience ranges from those who are just starting out, to professional programmers. The book aims to be pragmatic: the philosophy is to include enough formality to be convincing and to guide the programmer towards correct code, without getting bogged down in the mathematics.

A FEMINIST, QUEER ADVENTURE

How Digital Games Create Radical Spaces

Ashley P. Jones Explores how digital games can facilitate acts of political play and initiate change in the empirical world. Online harassment campaigns such as GamerGate expose the frequency with which hate speech is directed toward creators and players who identify with feminism or queerness and their allies. Change enacted specifically through feminist and queer gaming procedures and mechanics, as Jones shows, can offer opportunities for combating the marginalization and toxicity of some experiences.

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2025 A Matter of Choice: People and Possibilities in the Age of AI

United Nations Development Programme Artificial intelligence (AI) has broken into a dizzying gallop. While AI feats grab headlines, they privilege technology in a make-believe vaccuum, obscuring what really matters: people’s choices. The choices that people have and can realize, within ever expanding freedoms, are essential to human development, whose goal is for people to live lives they value and have reason to value. A world with AI is flush with choices the exercise of which is both a matter of human development and a means to advance it. Going forward, development depends less on what AI can do, and more on on mobilizing people’s imagination to reshape economies and societies to make the most of it.

SCIENCE OF SOFTWARE PRODUCT LINES

Essays on the Geometry of Thought

Don Batory Introduces compositional programming, building software by combining reusable components.

This book explores three key paradigms: Software Product Lines for creating families of programs, Model Driven Engineering for model-based system design, and Streaming Applications for dataflow-based computation. Drawing on decades of academic and practical experience, the author offers insights into principled software engineering and the lasting value of composable, mathematically grounded design in the age of AI-driven software generation.

Michael Gfoeller Envisions consciousness - human and artificial as a dynamic curvature of informational and computational spaces, drawing parallels with the theory of general relativity’s malleable spacetime and with quantum theory’s probabilistic nature. This collection of philosophical essays on artificial intelligence (AI) sees intelligence as a universal, relational phenomenon, transcending the binary of human minds versus thinking machines.
