Hello Slashdot, I am a Computer Engineer, fresh off graduation, and I would like to educate myself on a broad range of technological fields and aspects. I am the kind of person who is easily distracted while reading from a screen, and so I would like to ask fellow slashdotters about the best books for computer related topics. I consider my level to be intermediate in some fields, and beginner in others.
Some books are de facto standards in a certain technology field, others can be classified as Hidden Gems, while others are Interesting Reads (like GUI Bloopers). Therefore, I would love to hear what is everybody's book recommendation in the following fields:
- Programming (C++, C#, Java, Python, Ruby, Pike..etc)
- Secure coding
- Networking
- Electronics (design and simulation)
- Security (attacks and countermeasures)
- Web development (especially Ruby and Perl)
- Unix systems
- Win32 development
- Databases
- Computer Architecture
- Infrastructure (Think national level)
- Computer industry business management
These are my desired topics for the next 8 months or so, and I would like to immerse myself into said topics in different methods.
So what do you think is the best book for the aforementioned categories in terms of being a (de facto standard/ Hidden Gem/ Interesting Read)?
Hopefully this submission passes through, being so useful to me, young engineers and developers. Thanks in advance!"

Hello everyone, I have been tasked with writing code that allows a program to emulate a real joystick programmatically. This functionality is to be added for an accessibility system for disabled users, and using joystick emulation; a disabled person is able to use custom hardware to control a joystick for gaming more easily.
Problem is, I have done quite a bit of research and asking around, and it seems there is no documented method of emulating a joystick, as opposed to how easy it is to send keyboard and mouse messages for example. Add to that Microsoft's possible lockout of DirectInput, so this task gets a bit more difficult.
So, for Windows systems (You know, gaming), is there a way to write code that would send the same messages to Windows that a joystick sends? Would it require writing virtual drivers, perhaps?
I would like to know the possibility of performing this task, and the methods to do so. If anyone asks, the preferred programming language for this task is C#.
Thank you for your time.

Hello there fellow users, I have been entrusted with the task of designing and implementing a financial system for a charity foundation where I live. The charity foundation requires its work (addition and retrieval of records, for example) to be done online, using a web app. The app connects to a database server for storage and the charity's numerous branches connect to the central database center.
So what I would like to ask for is guidelines and suggestions on what technologies to use to accomplish this task:
- A suitable, well-supported and secure programming language or framework for the web app. (ASP.net or JSP for example)
- A suitable and secure database system (MySQL for example) that supports Arabic records.
- Methods, guidelines to implement critical security measures.
Although we have worked on similar projects before, the level of security and accuracy wasn't as critical as for a project such as this; that is why I'm asking for guidelines from the experts here.
This post may not be as detailed as it should, but I'm happy to listen carefully to any suggestion or guideline.
Thank you.
