Why Learn C
Don’t count C out. The classic programming language remains the backbone of many modern software systems including operating systems, relational databases, libraries, embedded systems, and even the core components of other programming languages. This book teaches C23 while also building a foundation that strengthens your programming skills regardless of what language you normally program in. Starting with a tour of C, it highlights C’s core concepts using example programs to give you the flavor of C. Next, it covers the entire C23 language including topics not often covered elsewhere such as undefined behavior, assertions, atomic variables, lock-free programming, debugging, advanced use of the preprocessor using _Generic, and more. Finally, it gives extended examples of how features common in modern programming languages might be implemented—including lists, maps, dynamic dispatch, and exceptions. This book includes many in-line notes containing commentary, explanations for why something is the way it is, historical context, best practices, and details often glossed over in modern languages. Additionally, it gives examples that evolve with the introduction of new language features. What You Will Learn: · Write programs in C using the new features introduced in C23. · Explore advanced or obscure parts of C not explained well elsewhere, if at all. · See how strings, lists, maps, dynamic dispatch, and exceptions might be implemented from scratch to understand what’s really going on in whatever language you program in. Who This Book is for: Professional programmers, computer science instructors, students or experienced hobbyists who understand programming language concepts (variables, statements, loops, functions, arrays, classes, objects, etc.) and have basic familiarity with algorithm characterization given in “big O” notation.

Doing Enterprise-Architecture
Enterprise architecture is a set of business practices that connect an organization’s strategy with its management of change. It is concerned with the structure and story of the enterprise, and ensuring that everything across the whole enterprise will work together in the most effective way. Yet when doing enterprise architecture, what should we do, in what sequence, and for what business purpose? What skills and leadership do we need? What results should we expect? And how can we prove the business value of what we do? This book sets out to answer those questions and show how, with the right architecture support, every change in the organization can be a change for the better. The book explains that to achieve this, we will need a literal ‘architecture of the enterprise’ that can start anywhere and can address every aspect of the enterprise, including people, machines, IT and more. We will need architecture development methods that can work consistently and in the same way everywhere, for every type of content or context, at every scope and scale, with every timescale, and throughout every stage of the change process. We will need those methods to support not just planned change, but provide continuity over longer periods, These methods must also respond fast to unexpected opportunities, risks and large-scale challenges arising within the organization and its market, and from the real-world beyond the enterprise itself. The book describes how to satisfy all of those needs, using a formal dependency-driven maturity-model to guide systematic step-by-step development of the organization’s capabilities for enterprise architecture. The sequence of steps ensures that, at each stage of development, the architecture can be relied upon to achieve desired, effective business outcomes. You Will : Learn how to extend your architecture beyond IT to the whole enterprise. Learn how to use a service-based approach to enhance consistency across the whole architecture. Learn how to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, responsiveness and resilience throughout the enterprise. This book is for : Enterprise Architects.

Mastering Sovereign Artificial Intelligence
Data, like oil or minerals, is a vital resource – and who owns it is critical, especially as it fuels the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Sovereign AI is about much more than countries merely owning their data, it's about control. It ensures AI aligns with their cultural, ethical, and legal frameworks. It's about making sure AI works for people and not the other way around. Businesses, nations, and leaders are quickly realising the need to embrace sovereign AI. This marks a profound shift from building software to creating intelligence. AI has already transformed the world; how we think about its ownership will determine what comes next. In this groundbreaking and thought-provoking book, Mastering Sovereign Artificial Intelligence, AI expert, researcher, and speaker Dr Mark Nasila explores what sovereign AI really means, how it differs from other AI models, and why understanding it is essential for the future. He outlines the shifting geopolitical landscape of AI and the emerging trends shaping international competition, delving into how AI intersects with national security, the economy, and global power. Data and AI sovereignty demand that countries develop skilled AI workforces, establish AI factories, and embed governance and ethics from the very start of any AI strategy. With insights from leading global experts, this handbook is essential reading for anyone who's interested in AI – from individuals and business leaders to policymakers and parents concerned about the future of work. AI is the defining asset of our age and how we choose to own and govern it will shape the destiny of nations – and our place in the world.

Protecting Artificial Intelligence-generated Works in Indonesia
This book examines the legal challenges posed by generative artificial intelligence (AI) in copyright law, focusing on Indonesia while using the European Union (EU) as a benchmark. It explores whether AI-generated works should qualify for copyright protection, how rights over these works should be allocated, and which stakeholders should be recognised in the process. By addressing these critical issues, the book provides a framework for balancing legal protection with public interests, offering insights for policymakers, legal scholars, and intellectual property practitioners. Adopting a comparative and socio-legal approach, this book analyses Indonesia’s evolving copyright landscape alongside the EU’s response to AI-generated works. While Indonesia prioritizes AI development, its copyright law remains rooted in human authorship, creating legal uncertainties for AI-generated works, despite the significant human contributions involved. This book offers a novel perspective on how middle-income countries can adapt their copyright systems in response to technological advancements. To address the gap in existing copyright law, potential protection models, including sui generis rights and neighbouring rights, are examined. These alternatives advocate for a balanced approach that fosters innovation while safeguarding human contributors. Through the comparative analysis and policy-driven recommendations, the book is an essential resource for academics, legal professionals, and policymakers seeking to navigate the evolving intersection of AI and copyright law. Laurensia Andrini is a Lecturer at the Business Law Department, Faculty of Law of the Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Datenschutzrechtliche Rollenzuweisungen
Die Arbeit evaluiert die praktische Effektivität und Schlüssigkeit des europäischen Datenschutzrechts in Bezug auf unterschiedliche Rollenzuweisungen. Um auf allgegenwärtige Strukturverschiebungen bei der Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten und drohende Beeinträchtigungen für die Rechte Betroffener durch differenzierte Rollenzuweisungen zu reagieren, kommt der ganzheitlichen Fortentwicklung des Verantwortlichkeits- und Beteiligungsgefüges eine zentrale Bedeutung zu. Voraussetzung für vereinheitlichte Rollenzuweisungen auf europäischer Ebene ist die Entwicklung eines kohärenten Gesamtkonzepts, das sowohl die rechtlichen Voraussetzungen und Grenzen klar umreißt als auch allgemeingültige Regulierungsprinzipien festlegt. Nur ein im Kern harmonisierter Regelungsrahmen kann beteiligten Akteuren als Orientierungshilfe dienen, die – vorgeschaltet zur konkreten Einzelfallbetrachtung – dazu beiträgt, dass grundlegende Wertungen des europäischen Datenschutzrechts gewahrt werden. Einleitung.- Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten im Strukturwandel.- Dimensionen des europäischen Datenschutzes.- Die gesetzlichen Grundlagen des die Rollenbilder betreffenden Normengefüges.- Einzelfallbezogene Rollenzuweisungen durch den EuGH.- Kritische Analyse der EuGH-Rechtsprechung.- Korrekturansätze und Gestaltungsspielräume unter dem bestehenden Regelungsgefüge.- Grundstrukturen und Musterfälle künftiger Rollenzuweisungen.- Schlussbetrachtung.
