    So begins the story of Sonia MacTaggert. An engineer by education with dreams of actually earning a living as one, she is stuck in a dead-end maintenance job servicing the engines of starships that put into port at Tammuz. When she finally lands an engineering position on the starship Night Searcher, she finds herself thrust into the unfamiliar world of interstellar exploration on a ship with a classified mission. Has her quest for a new life and career gotten Sonia more than she bargained for? The voyage of the Night Searcher tests not only the technical savvy of the fledgling engineer, but her character and leadership, as she's faced with challenges she could never have seen coming.

    You’ll learn everything from the basics of database integration and the use of JavaScript to browser-automation tools like Selenium, and advanced topics such as NoSQL, Web Sockets, and async programming.Ideal for beginners, this book teaches a development methodology that leads to peace of mind, cleaner code, and better web apps.

    With this hands-on book, you’ll learn Flask from the ground up by developing a complete social blogging application step-by-step. Author Miguel Grinberg walks you through the framework’s core functionality, and shows you how to extend applications with advanced web techniques such as database migration and web service communication.Rather than impose development guidelines as other frameworks do, Flask leaves the business of extensions up to you. If you have Python experience, this book shows you how to take advantage of that creative freedom.- Learn Flask’s basic application structure and write an example app- Work with must-have components—templates, databases, web forms, and email support- Use packages and modules to structure a large application that scales- Implement user authentication, roles, and profiles- Build a blogging feature by reusing templates, paginating item lists, and working with rich text- Use a Flask-based RESTful API to expose app functionality to smartphones, tablets, and other third-party clients- Learn how to run unit tests and enhance application performance- Explore options for deploying your web app to a production server

    The book covers the fundamental aspects of analysis and design, and also discusses practical requirements such as safety, feasibility, and economy of structural elements. It is hoped that the text would also serve as an introduction to postgraduate students. Practicing civil engineers and consultants who need a review of current practice and current IS specifications will also find it useful as a reference.

    

    We'll introduce you to various tips, tricks, patterns, code snippets, and techniques that we've picked up over the years.This book is great for:Beginners who have just finished the Django tutorial.Developers with intermediate knowledge of Django who want to improve their Django projects.

    They and several heroes of future space flight take on and do the impossible, build a program to explore and settle the red planet in a very short time period. Along the way they dig up old and invent new technology to overcome the many problems facing them. Mario and his wife are forced to take his brother's place when he is viciously attacked moments before launch. The team must overcome many problems, weather, radiation, and politics to get the colony started. Along the way they must divert an asteroid which has some far reaching consequences. Mankind will never be the same after the Mario brothers come on the scene!

    If you're new to Elixir, its functional style can seem difficult, but with help from this hands-on introduction, you'll scale the learning curve and discover how enjoyable, powerful, and fun this language can be. Elixir combines the robust functional programming of Erlang with an approach that looks more like Ruby and reaches toward metaprogramming with powerful macro features.Authors Simon St. Laurent and J. David Eisenberg show you how to write simple Elixir programs by teaching you one skill at a time. You’ll learn about pattern matching, recursion, message passing, process-oriented programming, and establishing pathways for data rather than telling it where to go. By the end of your journey, you’ll understand why Elixir is ideal for concurrency and resilience.* Get comfortable with IEx, Elixir's command line interface* Become familiar with Elixir’s basic structures by working with numbers* Discover atoms, pattern matching, and guards: the foundations of your program structure* Delve into the heart of Elixir processing with recursion, strings, lists, and higher-order functions* Create processes, send messages among them, and apply pattern matching to incoming messages* Store and manipulate structured data with Erlang Term * Storage (ETS) and the Mnesia database* Build resilient applications with the Open Telecom Platform (OTP)* Define macros with Elixir's meta-programming tools.

    Requiring only basic algebra and trigonometry, the new edition is notable for its readability, learning features and numerous full-color photos and illustrations. A systems approach is used to cover state-of-the-art communications technologies, to best reflect current industry practice. This edition contains greatly expanded and updated material on the Internet, cell phones, and wireless technologies. Practical skills like testing and troubleshooting are integrated throughout. A brand-new Laboratory & Activities Manual provides both hands-on experiments and a variety of other activities, reflecting the variety of skills now needed by technicians. A new Online Learning Center web site is available, with a wealth of learning resources for students. An Instructor Productivity Center CD-ROM features solutions to all problems, PowerPoint lessons, and ExamView test banks for each chapter.

    The first uses high-performance microprocessors while in the second category, issues of space, power and rapid development are more critical. Intended for those with no background as well as those with prior Assembly language experience, this book looks at Assembly language programming.
