Erdal Güvenoğlu The first subject that a person who decides to write a program and learn about programming processes should learn is algorithm design and development technique. These techniques need to be reinforced and applied. The most suitable language for understanding programming logic is C programming language. Today, C language comes to the fore in the construction of almost all operating systems, writing the modules of operating systems and almost everywhere where speed is required.
There are many books on the shelves of many publishing houses in the world that describe algorithms and programming in C language. However, there are not enough examples of applications in any of them. In this book, 365 examples with solutions are given to reinforce the basic programming logic of people who are starting to write programs. These examples start from the basics and work their way up to advanced topics. In addition, in the last part of the book, sorting and search algorithms that are frequently used in data structures are included. With this feature, the book also serves as a basis for the data structures course. Some of the examples used have been compiled from certain websites and books and are indicated in the references section.

Timur Karaçay Thanks to the technological developments in computer hardware, it has been calculated that the life expectancy of a newly emerging language is 10 years on average. All languages ​​make updates and adjustments parallel to the development of hardware and computer science. The language that does not do this job completes its average life span and withdraws from the scene.
Java emerged in the 1995's and has always kept its flagship place. Because Java brought great innovations to computer science. The last version of Java at the time of writing this book was Java 9. Java 9 differs from previous versions; Deep Java 9 describes these differences and innovations.
All versions of Java are backwards compatible up to Java 9. By breaking this rule, Java 9 also brought innovations that are considered revolutionary in the language.
Java 9 continues to support previous versions. This means that Java can be used as is the JCF:Java Collections Framework, which has revolutionized computer science.
Java, which has not lost its place in the flagship since its emergence, will continue to be a robust and reliable language preferred by large enterprises from now on.
This book describes the innovations brought by Java up to version 9. These topics, which are not given much importance in the Introduction to Java lessons, are the hand tools of the professional programmer.
Deep Java 9 is for those with an introductory knowledge of Java. For the non-Java reader, we recommend reading a good java book before starting this one.

Tuncay Uzun Today, software programmable digital electronic systems under the name of microprocessor systems are widely used in many applications for education, security, commercial, industrial, military, health and similar purposes. Microprocessor systems appear with a brand new application area every day. As a result, the use, understanding, design and realization of hardware and software of microprocessor systems has an important place in engineering in almost every field. The aim of this book is to examine the basic concepts on a sample system with the basic structural features of microprocessor-based systems, to teach the hardware and software features of systems and peripherals with a general-purpose microprocessor as the central processing unit in microprocessor-based systems.
In order to make it easier to understand the different microprocessors used today and the systems in which they are used, information about the history and current technological developments is also given. In addition, typographical errors in previous editions of this book have been corrected and some topics such as microprocessor software and microprocessor system design applications have been tried to be written in a more understandable way. This book has been prepared to cover the content of the "microprocessors" course, which is included in the curriculum of the computer, electrical, electronics and communication engineering departments of universities, or to help researchers and engineers who are interested in this subject in other engineering branches.
Three main topics have been determined for the teaching of microprocessor systems and the explanation has been made in the form of subsections of these sections. In the first chapter, the general characteristics of microprocessor systems and which basic concepts and methods are included in the book are given in which order. Microprocessor hardware was chosen as the second main topic. As the third main subject, it is aimed to teach microprocessor software.
Although preliminary information about the subjects is given in the book, having a good knowledge of logic, analysis and design of digital electronic circuits will make it easier to understand the microprocessor hardware. Before the microprocessor software is taught, a brief programming basis is given. However, microprocessor software will be easier to understand if you have knowledge about programming.

Abdullah Kuzu, Ahmet Sağlam, Ali Oluk, Feray Uğur Erdoğmuş, Hayriye Ayşe Oluk, İbrahim Çelik, Mehmet Kara, Mesut Türk, Özgen Korkmaz, Recep Çakır, Volkan Kukul, Yavuz Ünal In recent years, an important paradigm shift has occurred in programming education, and it has been adopted that high-level thinking skills can be gained by giving programming education. In other words, it has been realized that in addition to raising programmers, high-level thinking skills of individuals can be improved by giving programming education. For this reason, it has been accepted by many countries that it is not possible for programming education to be limited to vocational technical education and engineering education, and that this education should be given to individuals at an earlier age. In this book, it has been tried to discuss all aspects of programming for students who receive this education at an early age, with which tools, which approaches, which skills should be planned, how the education should be implemented and how it should be evaluated at the end of the education. In addition, sample teaching designs have been tried to be presented in the necessary sections. We hope that the book will contribute to our colleagues who teach programming or do academic studies in this field, our graduate students, teachers and teacher candidates.
