Practical Svelte
Learn to leverage the power of Svelte to produce web applications that are efficient and fast. This project-oriented book simplifies creating sites using Svelte from start to finish, with little more than a text editor and familiar languages such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It equips you with a starting toolset that you can use to develop future projects, incorporate into your existing workflow, and allow you to take your websites to the next level. Practical Svelte is an excellent resource for getting acquainted with creating and manipulating websites or online applications using a component framework approach. It takes the view that we don't have to create something complex and unwieldy. We can build something quickly, using less code than some of its competitors, and extend it using the power of the API and plugins over time, without sacrificing speed or features. You will learn how to use the Svelte framework to rapidly create and deploy websites or online applications that ...

CMake Best Practices
CMake is a powerful tool used to perform a wide variety of tasks, so finding a good starting point for learning CMake is difficult. This book cuts to the core and covers the most common tasks that can be accomplished with CMake without taking an academic approach.

Learning Go
Go is rapidly becoming the preferred language for building web services. While there are plenty of tutorials available that teach Go's syntax to developers with experience in other programming languages, tutorials aren't enough. They don't teach Go's idioms, so developers end up recreating patterns that don't make sense in a Go context. This practical guide provides the essential background you need to write clear and idiomatic Go. No matter your level of experience, you'll learn how to think like a Go developer. Author Jon Bodner introduces the design patterns experienced Go developers have adopted and explores the rationale for using them. You'll also get a preview of Go's upcoming generics support and how it fits into the language. Learn how to write idiomatic code in Go and design a Go project; Understand the reasons for the design decisions in Go; Set up a Go development environment for a solo developer or team; Learn how and when to use reflection, unsafe, and cgo; Discover ...
