Book excerpt: Four boys grow up in the streets of Detroit and want to make a difference, but their first attempt at protecting society from harm leaves them broken and defeated. Through the guidance of their leader, Javier Tate, they learn to master the art of war. They remain close as they grow into manhood, but after college all go their separate ways. Javier joins the Navy and becomes a highly decorated SEAL. Gilbert Gist, a Christian, becomes a Secret Service Agent. Allan Peoples becomes a Marine platoon leader while Jordan Flood, roguish and streetwise, joins the C.I.A. After eighteen years apart it’s time to reunite when Javier marries his college sweetheart. They all anticipate a week of fun and leisure when they finally meet up again, but plans change when Gilbert is called to guard Roosevelt Hunter, the 46th President of the United States. Three months in office have yielded two attempts on his life, and innocent people like Zach Winfrey are languishing in prison for crimes they didn’t commit. Javier senses foul play and is itching to come out of retirement, but solving this huge conspiracy requires the talents of each other. For Javier it’s personal, for Jordan its pride, for Gilbert it’s a calling, but Allan has fought enough. Despite varying motivations they go on their first mission to defeat the culprits, and all are pushed to the limit while attempting to stop a cynical world order from taking root. Iron sharpens iron in the process, but one carries a dark secret that can’t be revealed to anyone.

Download or read book Programming Languages written by Kent D. Lee and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Programming Languages: An Active Learning Approach introduces students to three programming paradigms: object-oriented/imperative languages using C++ and Ruby, functional languages using Standard ML, and logic programming using Prolog. This interactive textbook is intended to be used in and outside of class. Each chapter follows a pattern of presenting a topic followed by a practice exercise or exercises that encourage students to try what they have just read. This textbook is best-suited for students with a 2-3 course introduction to imperative programming. Key Features: (1) Accessible structure guides the student through various programming languages. (2) Seamlessly integrated practice exercises. (3) Classroom-tested. (4) Online support materials. Advance praise: “The Programming Languages book market is overflowing with books, but none like this. In many ways, it is precisely the book I have been searching for to use in my own programming languages course. One of the main challenges I perpetually face is how to teach students to program in functional and logical languages, but also how to teach them about compilers. This book melds the two approaches very well.” -- David Musicant, Carleton College

This book was released on 2014-05-13 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nazi descendants are ready to take over the United States…and the only person who can stop them is half-Japanese secret agent Kiki Claymore! Dispatched by Task Force Ten to investigate the hijacking of a top secret navy drone, Kiki Claymore hoped for a holiday in the sun. Instead she’s been tossed out an airplane, kidnapped by pirates, and chased through the streets of Grenada. Some vacation. The trail leads Kiki, and her colleague Mei, to the streets of Lima, Peru. They enlist the help of Mei’s ex-boyfriend, a secret agent named Mori. Together they follow a lead to Machu Picchu, the abandoned Incan city in the Peruvian Andes. There they find Mengele, the handsome young leader of a fanatical neo-Nazi army. When Mei and Mori end up out of commission, Kiki finds herself alone—to stop a madman’s plan, remaking the world as his “Coronado”— a paradise on Earth for his “master race.” From inside the novel… Kiki sat forward. It was like she was starring in a parody of a bad war movie. “Obviously you're neo-Nazis. What are you, the boys from Brazil?” “Hitler's stepchildren?” said Bossert. Mengele put down his glass. “It's true our ancestors were high ranking individuals in the Nazi German government. But that is our greatest flaw. We are all descended from bureaucrats. The Mossad has made quite the effort to wipe out many of our uncles and grandparents who came over from Germany. Decades ago.” “But neither of us is from Brazil,” said Bossert. “I'm from Argentina.” “And I'm from Paraguay,” said Mengele.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get more out of your legacy systems: more performance, functionality, reliability, and manageability Is your code easy to change? Can you get nearly instantaneous feedback when you do change it? Do you understand it? If the answer to any of these questions is no, you have legacy code, and it is draining time and money away from your development efforts. In this book, Michael Feathers offers start-to-finish strategies for working more effectively with large, untested legacy code bases. This book draws on material Michael created for his renowned Object Mentor seminars: techniques Michael has used in mentoring to help hundreds of developers, technical managers, and testers bring their legacy systems under control. The topics covered include Understanding the mechanics of software change: adding features, fixing bugs, improving design, optimizing performance Getting legacy code into a test harness Writing tests that protect you against introducing new problems Techniques that can be used with any language or platform—with examples in Java, C++, C, and C# Accurately identifying where code changes need to be made Coping with legacy systems that aren't object-oriented Handling applications that don't seem to have any structure This book also includes a catalog of twenty-four dependency-breaking techniques that help you work with program elements in isolation and make safer changes.

Download or read book Unite the Tribes written by Christopher Duncan and published by Apress. This book was released on 2013-09-09 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day, customers see the results of companies where fiefdoms have formed and silos create divisional or departmental strife: poor sales and profits, and lackluster products. It’s not hard to see that such companies are headed for an early grave. Regardless of the manner in which company fractures manifest themselves, tech leaders must find a way to rid their workplaces of the divisions that threaten to undermine their company’s productivity, profits, and survival. That’s why, in Unite the Tribes: Leadership Skills for Technology Managers, Christopher Duncan, bestselling author of The Career Programmer, provides corporate leaders with a ten-point plan for joining their company’s divided ranks together in a way that helps employees achieve their goals while also accomplishing those of the company. Using the metaphors of the company as empire and the groups that form within companies as tribes, Duncan explains that the formation of tribes within an empire is unavoidable. After all, regardless of the situation in which they find themselves, human beings are social creatures who align themselves with those whose goals and motivations match their own. That’s why the accountants hang together in the break room, while developers talk shop and geek culture in a watering hole down the street. Yet the job of leaders is to build a cohesive, powerful, and enduring empire by bringing all groups together in service to a shared, inspiring mission. And that goes double for tech companies, where breakthroughs create new landscapes on a daily basis. In Unite the Tribes, you will learn: How to build alliances and a spirit of unity across all levels of the company to achieve higher employee morale, greater profits, and increased productivity. How to come up with strategies that win market share as well as the hearts and minds of your employees. How to manage conflict. Why self-interest rules the day and how knowing another’s wants and needs helps you achieve goals of your own. Unite the Tribes will show you, the visionary leader, how to establish an empire by convincing your tribes of a simple but crucial truth: Alone, you are weak and vulnerable. United, you are invincible. What you’ll learnReaders of Unite the Tribes will learn: Practical, down-to-earth approaches to problem solving and productivity that make sense to corporate leaders who have to do real work in the real world. How to arrive at a plan for uniting the disparate groups that operate within their company when faced with the daily reality of office politics, maneuvering, ambition, incompetence, and short-term thinking. How to convey the company's purpose to employees in a way that is realistic and meaningful so that all workers can contribute to the company's greater good. Who this book is for Those serving in leadership or managerial capacities (i.e., those overseeing one or more employees) at technology companies plagued with division and dysfunction will find the solutions they need to rally their employees to join forces in Unite the Tribes. In addition, leaders and managers of companies whose cohesion is still healthy yet is being threatened with fracture will be provided with real-world strategies for reinforcing the glue that holds their company together in this practical, applications-driven guide.

Download or read book The Code written by Mukta Mahajani and published by Jaico Publishing House. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stories to guide you to success Awaken the hidden wisdom of your heart Live free of the seven deadly behavioral attributes that threaten to disrupt our lives! We can resolve most problems by applying the wisdom of our heart; all we have to do is listen carefully. However, in practice, a range of detrimental yet common attributes that we experience in large doses prevent us from listening to our inner voice. In The Code, author Mukta Mahajani identifies these negative attributes as the Ego, Over-Competitiveness, Jealousy, Overexpectations, Overambition, Anger and Procrastination. These attributes flare up when we face challenging situations. We explode when the world does not go our way and our relationships with others suffer as a result. Based on meaningful quotes from world leaders and revered religious texts, this book weaves short stories about the impact of these attributes. These narratives are designed to help us reset our mindset and resolve the issues we face in our day-to-day life. They help us understand that we have the inherent power to make the right choice at all times. Mukta Mahajani is an author and international speaker on Alternate Dispute Resolution methods with degrees in psychology, anthropology and law. In a career spanning over 20 years, Mukta has worked with the World Bank Group where her research has been published, and also guest lectured at New York City Bar Association, Mumbai University, ICADR Hyderabad and IIT Bombay among other institutions.

Download or read book Code written by Charles Petzold and published by Microsoft Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic guide to how computers work, updated with new chapters and interactive graphics "For me, Code was a revelation. It was the first book about programming that spoke to me. It started with a story, and it built up, layer by layer, analogy by analogy, until I understood not just the Code, but the System. Code is a book that is as much about Systems Thinking and abstractions as it is about code and programming. Code teaches us how many unseen layers there are between the computer systems that we as users look at every day and the magical silicon rocks that we infused with lightning and taught to think." - Scott Hanselman, Partner Program Director, Microsoft, and host of Hanselminutes Computers are everywhere, most obviously in our laptops and smartphones, but also our cars, televisions, microwave ovens, alarm clocks, robot vacuum cleaners, and other smart appliances. Have you ever wondered what goes on inside these devices to make our lives easier but occasionally more infuriating? For more than 20 years, readers have delighted in Charles Petzold's illuminating story of the secret inner life of computers, and now he has revised it for this new age of computing. Cleverly illustrated and easy to understand, this is the book that cracks the mystery. You'll discover what flashlights, black cats, seesaws, and the ride of Paul Revere can teach you about computing, and how human ingenuity and our compulsion to communicate have shaped every electronic device we use. This new expanded edition explores more deeply the bit-by-bit and gate-by-gate construction of the heart of every smart device, the central processing unit that combines the simplest of basic operations to perform the most complex of feats. Petzold's companion website, CodeHiddenLanguage.com, uses animated graphics of key circuits in the book to make computers even easier to comprehend. In addition to substantially revised and updated content, new chapters include: Chapter 18: Let's Build a Clock! Chapter 21: The Arithmetic Logic Unit Chapter 22: Registers and Busses Chapter 23: CPU Control Signals Chapter 24: Jumps, Loops, and Calls Chapter 28: The World Brain From the simple ticking of clocks to the worldwide hum of the internet, Code reveals the essence of the digital revolution.
