We all like to think we're pretty savvy when it comes to using our Macs, and in the case of the typical Macworld reader, that's usually true. But there's a funny thing we've noticed when we talk even to veteran Mac users: There's almost always some essential stuff—basic things that would make their Mac use easier or more efficient—that they've either forgotten or never learned.  So we got some Macworld editors and contributors together and asked: What are the things that every Mac user should know how to do? Not the really basic stuff—Command-C, Command-V, and so on—but the skills and knowledge that mark you as Mac-literate. After much pondering and discussion, we came up with a list of 100 items that fit the bill. Those skills run the gamut from startup to shutdown: they include smart ways to manage files and accounts, search, and customize your Mac.  We'll bet that you already know many of them. But we'll also bet that you don't know them all. And if you can really, honestly say that you knew every one, you're a whole lot savvier than any of us.

Les méthodes agiles  recouvrent un ensemble de pratiques qui peuvent s'appliquer à divers types de projets, mais se limitent plutôt actuellement aux projets de développement en informatique. Les méthodes agiles (esentiellement Scrum et XP abréviation de eXtreme Programming) se veulent plus pragmatiques que les méthodes traditionnelles. Elles impliquent au maximum le demandeur (client) et permettent une grande réactivité à ses demandes. L'idée maîtresse de ce livre est de pouvoir guider les organisations dans leur transition vers des méthodes agiles. Les avantages attendus sont la qualité du mogiciel produit, le "time to market", l'engagement des équipes et l'amélioration de leur productivité.

Recursion is an important topic in computing as it provides a simple yet elegant way of implementing complex solutions. An explanation of how recursion works is provided, together with a number of problems and their recursive solutions - using Java. Most, if not all are the same in C/C++ or, at the very least, require minor modification. Every problem presented demonstrates how to recognize a recursive solution - even in those cases where it is not apparent.

Are you interested in studying a new popular programming language? Do you know that Python is used in Google, Facebook and CERN? This e-book follows not only the didactic principles, but also encourages creativity and playfulness. The author has been teaching programming at a high school for 15 years. He organizes and lectures courses of programming in Python for teachers; he cooperates with the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics of Comenius University in Bratislava as a teacher trainer. He actively cooperates in creating educational programs and textbook assessments. The author has used the experience gained teaching programming in different programming languages to create this e-book. The e-book is illustrative, containing many practical tasks using the graphic environment of the Tkinter library. Its content covers a basic programming course. We start by learning graphical shapes, and using a loop and conditions. Later we learn to react to mouse and keyboard events. Finally, we are able to create animations and simple games. The e-book contains a set of revision exercises and an example final test.

Seller: PublishDrive Inc.

Before Rust, blockchain developers didn’t have a systems programming language that was type-safe, fast, and, at the same time, had stable and easy memory management. Rust proved to be a boon for developers and works as the perfect solution for not only blockchain and protocol development but also dApp development. Rust for Blockchain Application Development focuses on demonstrating solutions that can help blockchain developers productize decentralized applications using Rust, which is a complex language with a steep learning curve. This book starts with basic Rust language concepts and then builds on these concepts to enable you to develop your own blockchain from scratch. As you progress, you’ll learn how to build dApps on popular chains like Solana and NEAR. You’ll also be guided through creating Ethereum dApps using Foundry (Rust). Finally, you’ll develop a custom blockchain using Substrate by Parity (Polkadot). The book provides a complete 360-degree view of Rust in the blockchain ecosystem. By the end of this Rust book, you’ll have a thorough understanding of how to apply your Rust knowledge to building dApps and blockchains from scratch.

Ruby is one of the most important programming languages in use for web development. It powers the Rails framework, which is the backing of some of the most important sites on the web. The Pickaxe Book, named for the tool on the cover, is the definitive reference on Ruby, a highly-regarded, fully object-oriented programming language. This updated edition is a comprehensive reference on the language itself, with a tutorial on the most important features of Ruby - including pattern matching and Ractors - and describes the language through Ruby 3.3. Would you like to go from first idea to working code much, much faster? Do you currently spend more time satisfying the compiler instead of your clients or end users? Are you frustrated with demanding languages that seem to get in your way instead of helping you get the work done? Are you using Rails and want to dig deeper into the underlying Ruby language? If so, then we've got a language and book for you! Ruby is a fully object-oriented language. The combination of the power of a pure object-oriented language with the convenience of a scripting language makes Ruby a favorite tool of programmers that want to get things done quickly and cleanly. This comprehensive reference manual for Ruby includes a description of the most important standard library modules, built-in classes, and modules. It also includes all the new and changed syntax and semantics introduced through Ruby 3.3, including pattern matching and Ractors, and describes the language through Ruby 3.3. What You Need: This book assumes you have a basic understanding of object-oriented programming. In general, Ruby programmers tend to favor the the command line for running their code, and they tend to use text editors rather than IDEs. Ruby runs on Windows, Linux, and MacOS.

Seller: Hachette Digital, Inc.

In this "intriguing, insightful and extremely educational" novel, the world's most famous hacker teaches you easy cloaking and counter-measures for citizens and consumers in the age of Big Brother and Big Data (Frank W. Abagnale). Kevin Mitnick was the most elusive computer break-in artist in history. He accessed computers and networks at the world's biggest companies -- and no matter how fast the authorities were, Mitnick was faster, sprinting through phone switches, computer systems, and cellular networks. As the FBI's net finally began to tighten, Mitnick went on the run, engaging in an increasingly sophisticated game of hide-and-seek that escalated through false identities, a host of cities, and plenty of close shaves, to an ultimate showdown with the Feds, who would stop at nothing to bring him down. Ghost in the Wires is a thrilling true story of intrigue, suspense, and unbelievable escapes -- and a portrait of a visionary who forced the authorities to rethink the way they pursued him, and forced companies to rethink the way they protect their most sensitive information. "Mitnick manages to make breaking computer code sound as action-packed as robbing a bank." -- NPR
