Data-Oriented Programming
Data-Oriented Programming is a one-of-a-kind guide that introduces the data-oriented paradigm. This groundbreaking approach represents data with generic immutable data structures. It simplifies state management, eases concurrency, and does away with the common problems you'll find in object-oriented code. The book presents powerful new ideas through conversations, code snippets, and diagrams that help you quickly grok what's great about DOP. Best of all, the paradigm is language-agnostic - you'll learn to write DOP code that can be implemented in JavaScript, Ruby, Python, Clojure, and also in traditional OO languages like Java or C#. Code that combines behavior and data, as is common in object-oriented designs, can introduce almost unmanageable complexity for state management. The Data-oriented programming (DOP) paradigm simplifies state management by holding application data in immutable generic data structures and then performing calculations using non-mutating general-purpose fun ...

Pragmatic Python Programming
Explore the world of programming languages through Python and learn the building blocks of writing programs. This book covers Python 3.10, explaining it through six key concepts. Each chapter contains a real-world example with practical advice and a section on advanced concepts. You'll start by reviewing the concept of expressions and functions, which are two of the core building blocks of programming languages. You'll then move on to object-oriented concepts to help gain a practical understanding of Python, along with a chapter on control flow constructs. The book also takes a close look at sequences, explaining constructs and additional types, and wraps up with a chapter on modules, focusing on how to use and create packages. ...

Just React!
Here is your perfect companion for learning about and developing React applications. This book introduces concepts innovatively, using real-world examples based on the most recommended practices to help you establish a firm foundation. This comprehensive approach provides a strong focus on building components by using React hooks. You'll begin by learning web fundamentals, next-generation JavaScript, and how React fits into this. In the chapters that follow, you'll build a React application from scratch and learn about JSX, components, props, state management, prop drilling, context, and lifecycle events. Along the way you'll build a multi-component app and see how the components interact. Debugging and styling React applications are also discussed. You'll then take an in depth look at React hooks and see how to create a custom hook. There is also a penultimate chapter that explores important concepts such as routing and authentication.

Image Processing for Engineers
This is an image processing textbook with a difference. Instead of just a picture gallery of before-and-after images, we provide (on the accompanying website) MATLAB programs (.m files) and images (.mat files) for each of the examples. These allow the reader to experiment with various parameters, such as noise strength, and see their effect on the image processing procedure. We also provide general MATLAB programs, and Javascript versions of them, for many of the image processing procedures presented in this book. We believe studying image processing without actually performing it is like studying cooking without turning on an oven. Designed for a course on image processing (IP) aimed at both graduate students as well as undergraduates in their senior year, in any field of engineering, this book starts with an overview in Chapter 1 of how imaging sensors - from cameras to radars to MRIs and CAT - form images, and then proceeds to cover a wide array of image processing topics. The IP ...

Build a Binary Clock with Elixir and Nerves
Want to get better at coding Elixir? Write a hardware project with Nerves. As you build this binary clock, you'll build in resiliency using OTP, the same libraries powering many commercial phone switches. You'll attack complexity the way the experts do, using a layered approach. You'll sharpen your debugging skills by taking small, easily verified steps toward your goal. When you're done, you'll have a working binary clock and a good appreciation of the work that goes into a hardware system. You'll also be able to apply that understanding to every new line of Elixir you write. Combining software with hardware can be frustrating, but you can become proficient in no time by taking a simple, logical approach. Blinking a single LED is the traditional "Hello-World" of embedded systems. Building your own binary clock is the logical next step. It blinks groupings of LEDs based on the system time. This guide walks you through a working project using the techniques used by experts who build ...
