The impact of software on society is both widespread and deep. It touches almost every aspect of our lives, from the way we bank and shop to the way we stay in touch with our friends and family. It helps us get our work done and entertain ourselves. It even affects the way we think and learn. It can even write the first sentences of a foreword. Software is powerful indeed. But what is it made of, how is it made and how can it be so versatile? Consider the fact that the same programming language can be used to program a dish washer and a bank account. Even though the software in your dish washer and bank account are both machine code run by a processor, and the key words used to create the logic are identical, the rules that govern the two universes are distinct. The user interface for an app (application) in your phone could for example be defined with HTML and programmed in jаvascript, then embedded in a browser component from a framework which gives native access to some of the phones hardware. On an iPhone, the app could be written in Apple’s Object C, or their newest language Swift. On Android it could be Java or Kotlin. Many different hardware types and different programming languages exists in our every day life, and they are created with different purpose in mind.

Imagine mastering Python fundamentals by completing a challenge a day. Well, you don't have to imagine that, challenges that will help you master the fundamentals of the Python language as you begin your journey to build and create great things with Python. Even if you are very busy, you can put aside some time every day to complete one challenge and you will be on your way to mastering the Python fundamentals by the end of 50 days. This book contains challenges that mirror real-life situations that programmers encounter every day. The challenges are good enough for someone who has been learning Python for a while and they are looking for challenges that will help them test and grow their knowledge; or someone who has not worked with Python in a while and they are trying to get back in the game. If you are just beginning your Python journey and you love learning by solving problems, this book is for you. In this book, you will find challenges that cover most of the fundamentals of Python. You will create password generators, work with Python modules, translate strings, and build dictionaries. You will work with CSV and JSON files. You will create a website and so much more.

Software design principles provide guidelines to handle the complexity of the design process and prepare your code when changes arise, and minimize the impact of introducing bugs. This book aims to make you a better software designer within the object-oriented paradigm. Software design principles are guidelines that help developers to make an object-oriented system design resilient to future changes. Software design principles provide guidelines to handle the complexity of the design process and prepare our code when changes arise and minimize the impact of introducing bugs. Following these guidelines make our code more readable and easier to maintain. This book aims to make you a better software designer within the object-oriented paradigm.

The standard algorithms offer a lot of functionality. Save yourself time and effort by having a good grasp on what functionality already exists in the standard library. This book is a complete guide to the C++ standard algorithms, demonstrating examples and pointing out notable, surprising, dangerous or interesting aspects of the different algorithms. This book is a guide, as opposed to a reference, meaning that instead of describing every detail, the book concentrates on examples and pointing out notable, surprising, dangerous or interesting aspects of the different algorithms. Furthermore, unlike a reference, it is supposed to be read, for the most part, like a book in sequential order. C++ already has one canonical reference, the C++ standard, and for quick lookup, the cppreference.com wiki is a great source. The ”complete” part of the statement refers to the width of coverage. The book covers all algorithms and relevant theory up to the C++20 standard (the C++23 standard is not finalized at the time of writing).

Ansible is a simple, but powerful, server and configuration management tool. Learn to use Ansible effectively, whether you manage one server—or thousands. Ansible is a simple, but powerful, server and configuration management tool (with a few other tricks up its sleeve). This book helps those familiar with the command line and basic shell scripting start using Ansible to provision and manage anywhere from one to thousands of servers. The book begins with fundamentals, like installing Ansible, setting up a basic inventory file, and basic concepts, then guides you through Ansible's many uses, including ad-hoc commands, basic and advanced playbooks, application deployments, multiple-provider server provisioning, and even Docker orchestration!

Pillow is the most popular Python image processing library. It provides many of the features found in imaging applications like Photoshop or GIMP, such as loading, saving, resizing, transforming images, as well as converting colours and applying filters, enhancements, and effects. This book will teach you how to use simple Python code to automate these functions using the Pillow library, so that your programs can incorporate advanced image processing. It provides a comprehensive guide to Pillow, in plain language and with lots of examples. This book is aimed at anyone wishing to learn about image processing in Python.

In this practical book, Mara Bos, leader of the Rust library team, helps Rust programmers of all levels gain a clear understanding of low-level concurrency. You'll learn everything about atomics and memory ordering and how they're combined with basic operating system APIs to build common primitives like mutexes and condition variables. Once you're done, you'll have a firm grasp of how Rust's memory model, the processor, and the roles of the operating system all fit together.

Edge artificial intelligence is transforming the way computers interact with the real world, allowing internet of things (IoT) devices to make decisions using the 99% of sensor data that was previously discarded due to cost, bandwidth, or power limitations. With techniques like embedded machine learning, developers can capture human intuition and deploy it to any target--from ultra-low power microcontrollers to flexible embedded Linux devices--for applications that reduce latency, protect privacy, and work without a network connection, greatly expanding the capabilities of the IoT.

Learn Python in a Weekend! This book is an (informal) language reference on the Python programming language. Python is one of the most widely used languages in many different application areas. We go through all essential features of the modern Python programming language, including the match statement (3.10) and exception groups (3.11). Although the book is written as a reference, you can read it more or less from beginning to end and you should be able to get the overall picture of the Python language if you have some prior experience with programming in Python. Python is a dynamic language. It means many different things. It means that the language is more flexible. It means that Python is an easier language to program with. You can quickly write a simple program without having to go through too much "rituals", compared to many other programming languages. Python scripts tend to require less boilerplate code. Python gives you more freedom.
