In this book Chris Dixon argues that in the past decade the Internet has fallen almost entirely under the control of a very small group of companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook. However, he says that the dream of an open network for fostering creativity and entrepreneurship doesn’t have to die and can, in fact, be saved with blockchain networks.

The Raspberry Pi makes an ideal match for the Internet of Things, and the GPIO Zero library is the official way to use Python with the GPIO and other devices. In this book Harry Fairhead and Mike James look at how to use it to interface to fundamental IoT devices – from LEDs and buzzers to servos and stepper motors and several off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi add-ons.

Many revolutionary impossibility theorems reveal profound properties of logic, computation, fairness and the universe. To fully appreciate these theorems and their impact on mathematics and beyond, you must understand their proofs. In this book Dan Gusfield presents these proofs for a broad, lay audience, reworked to contain less jargon and notation, and more background, intuition, examples, explanations, and exercises.

This collection of smaller books is aimed at would-be developers who need guidance on the languages and steps used to build websites and applications. Paul McFedries covers the basics of web development, structuring a page, and building and processing web forms. Going beyond this, the books cover how to build a website or create an app. This edition expands JavaScript and CSS coverage while providing new content on server-side coding and the development stack.

Written by Clinton L Jeffery, the creator of the Unicon programming language, this book will show you how to implement domain-specific programming languages to reduce the time and cost of creating applications for new or specialized areas of computing. Jeffrey starts with implementing the frontend of a compiler for your language, including a lexical analyzer and parser, including the handling of parse errors.

This book teaches important computer algorithms by asking the reader to solve competitive programming problems.  Dr. Daniel Zingaro uses programs and challenges that are drawn from real programming competitions to illustrate how to make use of data structures and algorithms. Topics covered include hash tables, recursion, dynamic programming, trees, graphs, and heaps, and how to choose and implement the best solutions for any coding challenge. The code examples are written in C and designed for clarity and accessibility.

This book shows that data structures and algorithms aren't just theory, but are useful for your Python code. Jay Wengrow looks at how techniques such as Big O notation can make code run faster, and how data structures such as hash tables, trees, and graphs can increase your code's efficiency exponentially. With simple language and clear diagrams, this book makes this complex topic accessible, and shows how to take a practical approach to data structures and algorithms, with techniques and real-world scenarios that you can use in your daily production code.
