Computer Graphics from Scratch: A Programmer's Introduction to 3D Rendering
by Gabriel GambettaComputer Graphics from Scratch demystifies the algorithms used in modern graphics software and guides beginners through building photorealistic 3D renders.Computer graphics programming books are often math-heavy and intimidating for newcomers. Not this one. Computer Graphics from Scratch takes a simpler approach by keeping the math to a minimum and focusing on only one aspect of computer graphics, 3D rendering. You&’ll build two complete, fully functional renderers: a raytracer, which simulates rays of light as they bounce off objects, and a rasterizer, which converts 3D models into 2D pixels. As you progress you&’ll learn how to create realistic reflections and shadows, and how to render a scene from any point of view. Pseudocode examples throughout make it easy to write your renderers in any language, and links to live JavaScript demos of each algorithm invite you to explore further on your own.Learn how to:Use perspective projection to draw 3D objects on a 2D planeSimulate the way rays of light interact with surfacesAdd mirror-like reflections and cast shadows to objectsRender a scene from any camera position using clipping planesUse flat, Gouraud, and Phong shading to mimic real surface lightingPaint texture details onto basic shapes to create realistic-looking objects Whether you&’re an aspiring graphics engineer or a novice programmer curious about how graphics algorithms work, Gabriel Gambetta&’s simple, clear explanations will quickly put computer graphics concepts and rendering techniques within your reach. All you need is basic coding knowledge and high school math. Computer Graphics from Scratch will cover the rest.

Computer Hacking: Eine Einführung zur Verbesserung der Computersicherheit in komplexen IT-Infrastrukturen
by Udo KebschullTechnische Maßnahmen, die es Cyberangreifern schwer machen, dienen zur Abschreckung, weil Hacker immer nur so hoch springen, wie sie müssen. Bei komplexen und vor allem sicherheitsrelevanten IT-Infrastrukturen reichen diese technischen Maßnahmen allein jedoch oft nicht aus.Dieses Lehrbuch betrachtet alle Aspekte der IT-Sicherheit und effektive Maßnahmen, um Angriffe zu detektieren und sich erfolgreich dagegen zu wehren. Es behandelt allgemeine Angriffsmechanismen und Angriffsszenarien, die von Angreifern angewendet werden. Dabei soll klar werden, dass es nicht ausreichend ist, Firewall-Regeln sauber zu konfigurieren oder die aktuellsten Patches einzuspielen. Vielmehr muss ein ganzheitlicher Ansatz gewählt werden, der Nutzende einschließt (Awareness) und funktionierende Prozesse für den Fall eines konkreten Angriffs etabliert. Das Buch zeigt, wo die Schwachstellen liegen, wie man sie schließt, wie man Angriffe erkennt und wie man sie erfolgreich abwehrt.
