Tackles a topic in a concise and accessible way that most believe too advanced to pick up easily. Author has over 40 years teaching and industry experience which they utilize in this book. Contains an appendix with extended code and examples of topics discussed in text.
A very concise guide to a popular programming language, so there is a healthy demand for content which teaches who to utilize JavaScript. The book's broad coverage (paired with being compact) makes it more appealing than competitor's books currently on the market. Compared to online material, it has the benefit of material being presented in one coherent sequence. Author utilizes many years of teaching experience to communicate an effective way for teaching JavaScript quickly.
Circular approach allows very fast entry into Java Full description of Junit testing Summary of functional programming in Java Introduction to synchronization and parallel processing Extensive description of building graphical user interfaces

Why learn functional programming? Isn't that some complicated ivory-tower technique used only in obscure languages like Haskell? In fact, functional programming is actually very simple. It's also very powerful, as Haskell demonstrates by throwing away all the conventional programming tools and using only functional programming features. But it doesn't have to be done that way. Functional programming is a power tool that you can use in addition to all your usual tools, to whatever extent your current mainstream language supports it. Most languages have at least basic support. In this book we use Python and Java and, as a bonus, Scala. If you prefer another language, there will be minor differences in syntax, but the concepts are the same. Give functional programming a try. You may be surprised how much a single power tool can help you in your day-to-day programming.

Are you a programmer who wants to get started quickly in a new language? This book is for you. Are you a novice who wants to learn to program? This book is not for you. Are you a Python programmer who needs encyclopaedic information? This book is not for you. Like any mainstream language, Python has loops, if statements, assignment statements, functions, etc. I'll show you what these look like in Python. I won't waste your time telling you what they're good for. Python has features you may not be familiar with--iterators, list comprehensions, maybe even dictionaries. I'll spend more time on these. I'll cover some of the library functions I found most immediately useful, and tell you where to find more. In short, this book will help you hit the ground running. Next week, you'll be ready to buy that Python encyclopaedia.
