The CSS Handbook
CSS, a shorthand for Cascading Style Sheets, is one of the main building blocks of the Web. Its history goes back to the 90's and along with HTML it has changed a lot since its humble beginnings. This handbook is aimed at a vast audience. - First, the beginner. I explain CSS from zero in a succinct but comprehensive way, so you can use this book to learn CSS from the basics. - Then, the professional. CSS is often considered like a secondary thing to learn, especially by JavaScript developers. They know CSS is not a real programming language, they are programmers and therefore they should not bother learning CSS the right way. I wrote this book for you, too. - Next, the person that knows CSS from a few years but hasn't had the opportunity to learn the new things in it. We'll talk extensively about the new features of CSS, the ones that are going to build the web of the next decade. CSS has improved a lot in the past few years and it's evolving fast. Even if you don't write CSS ...

React Cookbook
React helps you create and work on an app in just a few minutes. But learning how to put all the pieces together is hard. How do you validate a form? Or implement a complex multistep user action without writing messy code? How do you test your code? Make it reusable? Wire it to a backend? Keep it easy to understand? The React Cookbook delivers answers fast. Many books teach you how to get started, understand the framework, or use a component library with React, but very few provide examples to help you solve particular problems. This easy-to-use cookbook includes the example code developers need to unravel the most common problems when using React, categorized by topic area and problem. You'll learn how to: Build a single-page application in React using a rich UI; Create progressive web applications that users can install and work with offline; Integrate with backend services such as REST and GraphQL; Automatically test for accessibility problems in your application; Secure appli ...

Multithreaded JavaScript
Traditionally, JavaScript has been a single-threaded language. Nearly all online forum posts, books, online documentation, and libraries refer to the language as single threaded. Thanks to recent advancements in the language-such as the Atomics and SharedArrayBuffers objects and Web Workers in the browser-JavaScript is now a multi-threaded language. These features will go down as being the biggest paradigm shift for the world's most popular programming language. Multithreaded JavaScript explores the various features that JavaScript runtimes have at their disposal for implementing multithreaded programming, providing both practical real-world examples, as well as reference material. Learn what multithreaded programming is and how you can benefit from it; Understand the differences between a web worker, a service worker, and a worker thread; Know when and when not to use threads in an application; Orchestrate communication between threads by leveraging the Atomics object; Build hig ...

First Semester in Numerical Analysis with Python
The book is based on "First semester in Numerical Analysis with Julia". The contents of the original book are retained, while all the algorithms are implemented in Python (Version 3.8.0). Python is an open source (under OSI), interpreted, general-purpose programming language that has a large number of users around the world. Python is ranked the third in August 2020 by the TIOBE programming community index 2 , a measure of popularity of programming languages, and is the top-ranked interpreted language. We hope this book will better serve readers who are interested in a first course in Numerical Analysis, but are more familiar with Python for the implementation of the algorithms. The first chapter of the book has a self-contained tutorial for Python, including how to set up the computer environment. Anaconda, the open-source individual edition, is recommended for an easy installation of Python and effortless management of Python packages, and the Jupyter environment, a web-based inte ...
