jаvascript is the programming language of the internet—the secret sauce that makes websites dynamic, responsive, and all-around awesome. This fast-paced tutorial quickly teaches total beginners how to code in this popular, easy-to-learn language. Light-hearted and hands-on, the book introduces you to programming essentials through fun examples, hands-on exercises, and cool projects like building a Pong-style computer game. You’ll discover all of the important aspects of the language (without delving into expert-level nitty-gritty details or confusing jargon) as you develop a fast knack for programming with jаvascript. Because of its relationship to web browsers, jаvascript is an extremely important part of web development. If a website includes dynamic, interactive features, it was probably created with jаvascript. For example, YouTube uses jаvascript to show you previews of videos when you hover over their thumbnails, Threads uses jаvascript to load more posts as you scroll down the page, and Amazon uses jаvascript to power its Look Inside feature. Beyond its use in web browsers, jаvascript is also heavily used on the backend of websites, or the part of the website code that runs on a server, delivering content to users (as opposed to the frontend code that runs directly on the user’s device). This is possible via a technology called Node.js. Many top websites have a Node.js backend, letting you use the same language for the frontend and backend of your website, and even share code between the two.

This book focuses on a subtopic of explainable AI (XAI) called explainable agency (EA), which involves producing records of decisions made during an agent’s reasoning, summarizing its behavior in human-accessible terms, and providing answers to questions about specific choices and the reasons for them. We distinguish explainable agency from interpretable machine learning (IML), another branch of XAI that focuses on providing insight (typically, for an ML expert) concerning a learned model and its decisions. In contrast, explainable agency typically involves a broader set of AI-enabled techniques, systems, and stakeholders (e.g., end users), where the explanations provided by EA agents are best evaluated in the context of human subject studies. The chapters of this book explore the concept of endowing intelligent agents with explainable agency, which is crucial for agents to be trusted by humans in critical domains such as finance, self-driving vehicles, and military operations. This book presents the work of researchers from a variety of perspectives and describes challenges, recent research results, lessons learned from applications, and recommendations for future research directions in EA. The historical perspectives of explainable agency and the importance of interactivity in explainable systems are also discussed. Ultimately, this book aims to contribute to the successful partnership between humans and AI systems.

The goal of this book is to provide an introduction to computer programming with Python. This includes: - functional decomposition and a structured approach to programming; - writing idiomatic Python; - understanding the importance of abstraction; - practical problem-solving exercises, and a brief introduction to plotting with Matplotlib. When you get to know it, Python is a peculiar programming language. Much of what’s peculiar about Python is concealed by its seemingly simple syntax. This is part of what makes Python a great first language—and it’s fun! The book is organized into chapters which roughly correspond to a week’s worth of material (with some deviations). Some chapters, particularly the first few, should be consumed at a rate of two a week. We present below a brief description of each chapter, followed by mention of some conventions used in the book. The Chapter 2 provides some motivation for why programming languages are useful, and gives a general outline of how a program is executed by the Python interpreter. This chapter also introduces the two modes of using Python. The interactive mode allows the user to interact with the Python interpreter using the Python shell. Python statements and expressions are entered one at a time, and the interpreter evaluates or executes the code entered by the user. This is an essential tool for experimentation and learning the details of various language features. Script mode allows the user to write, save, and execute Python programs. This is convenient since in this mode we can save our work, and run it multiple times without having to type it again and again at the Python shell.

Computational spectroscopy and computational quantum chemical dynamics is a vast field in physical chemistry. Significant part of this field is developed based on the concepts of time-dependent quantum mechanics and its numerical implementations. This book gives an introduction to the Time-Dependent Quantum Chemistry for use with any introductory college/university course in optics, spectroscopy, kinetics, dynamics, or experimental physical chemistry or chemical physics of the kind usually taken by undergraduate and graduate students in physical chemistry. In this book, different concepts of time-dependent quantum mechanics are systematically presented by first giving emphasis on the contrasting viewpoint of classical and quantum mechanical motion of a particle, then by demonstrating the ways to find classical flavour in quantum dynamics, thereafter by formally defining the wavepacket which represents a quantum particle and finally by demonstrating numerical methods to explore the wavepacket dynamics in one dimension. Along with the analytical theory, accompanying Python chapters in this book take readers to a hands-on tour with Python programming by first giving them a quick introduction to the Python programming, then by introducing the position-space grid representation of the wavefunction, thereafter, by making them familiarized with the Fourier transform to represent the discretized wavefunction in momentum space, subsequently by showing the Python-based methodologies to express Hamiltonian operator in matrix form and finally by demonstrating the entire Python program which solves the wavepacket dynamics in one dimension under influence of time-independent Hamiltonian following split-operator approach.

Learn to properly test Ruby and Ruby on Rails applications by first writing failing tests, and then by implementing application code to make the failing tests pass. This book will teach you how to employ test-driven development (TDD) using RSpec while building a blog from start to finish. By the end of the book, you will be ready to deploy their fully tested blog to their own production web server using the latest versions of Ruby 3 and Ruby on Rails 7. We’ll be using the Ruby programming language and the Ruby on Rails web framework to build everything. These are the best tools for the job, in my opinion. Ruby is a very expressive and powerful programming language, and Ruby on Rails is a very powerful web framework. We’ll use the test-driven development (TDD) style of software design and engineering, which means we’ll write failing tests first and only then write our implementation code to get our failing tests passing. We’ll use the RSpec testing framework to write our tests. RSpec describes itself as a tool for performing “behavior-driven development” and is in fact the best tool available for testing Ruby code. If you’ve never used RSpec before, don’t worry; in this book, I’ll cover more than enough to get you started and productive. We will use the PostgreSQL relational database management system (RDBMS) to store our project’s data. For beginner to intermediate Ruby software engineers who are interested in learning to use TDD with RSpec to test and build web applications using Ruby on Rails.

Master Web Development with MERN Stack for Designing, Testing, and Deploying Professional-Grade Applications using MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. This book covers all the top technologies in the jаvascript ecosystem: MongoDB, ExpressJS, ReactJS and NodeJS. With these technologies, we can create a completely functional web application that includes frontend, backend and database. We will build a fairly large production-ready app in this book. Here, we will first learn to set up the frontend with React, then create the backend APIs with NodeJS and Express. The backend will be connected to our database which is MongoDB. We will learn to use authentication in our project by implementing JWT. We will also learn to test both frontend and backend using the Unit testing framework of Jest. Finally, we will learn how to deploy both frontend and backend with ease to use free apps. After going through the book, the readers will be able to create any MERN app with ease and can also modify the project in the book to create other apps. In the Frontend section, you'll construct a dynamic ReactJS application with a focus on creating components, and pages, and establishing Redux for state management. This book will guide you through setting up Redux, implementing registration and login functionalities, and refining your application with a user-friendly dashboard and task form. The book concludes with chapters on frontend and backend testing, ensuring the robustness of your application, and also covers deployment strategies for both frontend and backend components, providing a comprehensive guide to showcase your application to the world.
