Learn to program with visual examples. Programs increase in complexity as you progress — from drawing a circle to 3D graphics, animations, and simulations.A Graphical Introduction to Programming teaches computer programming with the aid of 100 example programs, each of which integrates graphical or sound output. The Processing-language-based examples range from drawing a circle and animating bouncing balls to 3D graphics, audio visualization, and interactive games. Readers learn core programming concepts like conditions, loops, arrays, strings and functions, as well as how to use Processing to draw lines, shapes, and 3D objects. They’ll learn key computer graphics concepts like manipulating images, animating text, mapping textures onto objects, and working with video. Advanced examples include sound effects and audio visualization, network communication, 3D geometry and animation, simulations of snow and smoke, predator-prey populations, and interactive games.

A fast-paced, thorough introduction to modern C++ revised to cover C++20.C++ is one of the world''s most popular programming languages.As with the highly-regarded first edition, Lospinoso covers everything from types and functions, to the object life cycle and expressions; the C++ Standard Library and Boost Libraries; utility classes, data structures, and algorithms, and how to manipulate file systems and build high-performance programs that communicate over networks.This thoroughly revised second edition cuts through the weeds to get straight to the core of C++20, the most modern revision of the ISO standard. A new "Coroutines" chapter introduces a new language feature that lets users express functions that can suspend execution. The "Iterator" chapter has been replaced with a new chapter called "Ranges," the new library that largely replaces iterators in daily programming and allows users to interact with sequences of objects. Lospinoso has also added a "Modules" chapter which shows how to create and consume library code. Printf has also been replaced with std::format and there are numerous updates throughout.You''ll learn:  •  Fundamental types, reference types, and user-defined types  •  The object lifecycle including storage duration, memory management, exceptions, call stacks, and the RAII paradigm  •  Compile-time polymorphism with templates and run-time polymorphism with virtual classes  •  Advanced expressions, statements, functions, and coroutines  •  Smart pointers, data structures, dates and times, numerics, and probability/statistics facilities  •  Containers, iterators, strings, and algorithms  •  Streams and files, concurrency, networking, application development, and modules

Build dozens of unique and intricate spacecraft with LEGO.Build a starship fleet to launch from your kitchen table! Follow the gorgeous photos, step-by-step instructions, and comprehensive parts lists in this book to build dozens of galaxy-hopping spacecraft that can fit in the palm of your hand! Puzzle out how to build propulsion systems, heat shields, and solar collectors, or take a page from science fiction and make warp drives, self-healing hulls, and photon beams. Why bother to leave your house (or the planet) when you can explore the universe with the LEGOs you already own and your imagination. Your intergalactic journey starts in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 . . .

An illustrated history of a single atom of carbon, tracing its many manifestations from the Big Bang to the present.Carbon: One Atom's Odyssey is an illustrated adaptation of 'Carbon,' a short story from Italian chemist, writer, and Auschwitz survivor Primo Levi. It traces the life story and many molecular manifestations of a single atom of this life-essential element.You'll follow one atom from its spectacular birth 14 billion years ago through its harrowing journey on planet earth where it has become a basic building block of nearly 10 million known compounds in living things. Along the way, you'll learn that it is breathed in by the Peregrine Falcon; it is dissolved in the ocean before making its way back into the atmosphere; it is found in your pencil as well as in your liver; it helps trees grow strong and tall; and it even lets a moth's eye make sense of light.

A fun yet thorough Python-based introduction to algorithms.

Crack core maths concepts while learning the powerful language of code with in this two-in-one Python programming guide.

Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers is for intermediate programmers who want to write good applications that solve tough engineering problems – from scratch.What if you could solve challenging engineering problems with Python programming? With this book’s hardcore approach, you’ll learn how to code solutions from scratch using linear algebra, geometry, and physics to write custom libraries, draw primitives, and build applications. Ángel Sola Orbaiceta covers core programming techniques for mechanical engineers, with a focus on crafting high-quality code and leveraging automated unit testing for error-free implementations. You’ll develop a geometry toolbox, filling it with lines and shapes to diagram engineering problems; create vector graphics and animations for mechanical simulations; and code algorithms to perform complex calculations. As a capstone you’ll combine these lessons to build a complete structural analysis application to solve a 2D truss problem that you might encounter in the field. Learn how to:Use regular expressions to elegantly parse file inputRefine your code with unit testing, encapsulation, and descriptive namesDraw images onscreen and create animations with Tkinter’s Canvas widgetSolve systems of linear equations using the Cholesky decomposition algorithmBuild an application that visualizes a truss structure’s stresses and strains Stop relying on third-party software—there are no shortcuts on the path to proficiency. With Hardcore Programming for Mechanical Engineers, you’ll hone your programming skills to get correct results every time.

Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level, the second volume in the landmark Write Great Code series by Randall Hyde, covers high-level programming languages (such as Swift and Java) as well as code generation on 64-bit CPUsARM, the Java Virtual Machine, and the Microsoft Common Runtime.Today's programming languages offer productivity and portability, but also make it easy to write sloppy code that isn't optimized for a compiler. Thinking Low-Level, Writing High-Level will teach you to craft source code that results in good machine code once it's run through a compiler.You'll learn: • How to analyze the output of a compiler to verify that your code generates good machine code • The types of machine code statements that compilers generate for common control structures, so you can choose the best statements when writing HLL code • Enough assembly language to read compiler output • How compilers convert various constant and variable objects into machine dataWith an understanding of how compilers work, you'll be able to write source code that they can translate into elegant machine code.NEW TO THIS EDITION, COVERAGE OF: • Programming languages like Swift and Java • Code generation on modern 64-bit CPUs • ARM processors on mobile phones and tablets • Stack-based architectures like the Java Virtual Machine • Modern language systems like the Microsoft Common Language Runtime
