PostScript Language Essentials
"PostScript Language Essentials" PostScript Language Essentials is a comprehensive guide for mastering the intricacies of the PostScript programming language, widely recognized as the cornerstone of digital graphic and print workflows. This authoritative reference delves into the architecture and execution model of PostScript, meticulously explaining its stack-based paradigm, object types, memory management strategies, and robust error handling mechanisms. From foundational principles to the language’s evolution across Levels 1, 2, and 3, readers gain a clear understanding of how PostScript’s core design empowers high-fidelity visual rendering and flexible document generation. Structured for both seasoned developers and advanced learners, the book offers an in-depth exploration of PostScript’s operators, procedures, and control structures. It provides practical guidance on data structures such as arrays, dictionaries, and resource management, while illuminating best practices in operator design, programming efficiency, and debugging. Detailed chapters on the PostScript imaging model cover coordinate systems, path construction, graphics state management, and sophisticated rendering techniques, giving readers the tools to produce visually rich and device-independent output. Dedicated sections address advanced topics including text and font management, color spaces and halftoning, macro programming, device interfaces, and security in complex production environments. Insights into integrating PostScript with modern workflows, ensuring portability, and extending the language with custom features round out this essential resource. Whether building robust print applications, optimizing graphic pipelines, or securing device-independent deployments, PostScript Language Essentials is the definitive companion for unlocking the full power of the PostScript language.

This is a one-semester, introductory programming textbook in Java that uses game applications as a central pedagogical tool to improve student engagement, learning outcomes, and retention. Game programming is incorporated into the text in a way that does not compromise the amount of material traditionally covered in a basic programming course and permits instructors who are not familiar with game programming and computer graphics concepts to realize the verified pedagogical advantages of game applications. The companion disc includes a game environment that is easily integrated into projects created with the popular Java Development Environments, including Eclipse, NetBeans, and JCreator in a student-friendly way and also includes a set of executable student games to pique their interest by giving them a glimpse into their future capabilities. The material presented in the book is in full compliance with the 2013 ACM/IEEE computer science curriculum guidelines. It has been used to teach programming to students whose majors are within and outside of the computing fields. Ancillaries include a comprehensive instructor’s resource disc with programming solutions, slides, quizzes, projects, and more. FEATURES: * Uses an objects-early approach to learning Java * Follows the 2013 ACM/IEEE computer science curriculum guidelines * Integrates game applications as a central pedagogical tool to improve student engagement, learning outcomes, and retention * Includes a companion disc with projects created with the popular Java Development Environments; also includes a set of executable student games, source code, and figures * Uses working programs to illustrate concepts under discussion * Complete instructor’s resource package available upon adoption
