Even if you are a complete newbie in the field of computer programming, that’s perfectly fine. By starting out with a beginner’s guide, everything will be thoroughly explained for you to eliminate any confusion you may have along the way. Not only is this considerably cheaper than enrolling in an online course or attending college lecture but it also allows for flexibility in your tight schedule so you don’t have to worry about deadlines or being thrown out of class for too many absences.

A few decades into the digital era, scientists discovered that thinking in terms of computation made possible an entirely new way of organizing scientific investigation; eventually, every field had a computational branch: computational physics, computational biology, computational sociology. More recently, "computational thinking" has become part of the K-12 curriculum. But what is computational thinking? This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series offers an accessible overview.

Have you ever been so wrapped up in a puzzle or game that you couldn’t put it down until you solved it? Programming is like that. It meets your mind’s need for stimulation and exercise. And it’s incredibly rewarding. Yet, coding is not just a free-time activity for tech geeks. As the world becomes more technologically advanced, computer programming awareness and skills are not just for those pursuing software development careers. It’s increasingly showing up in other jobs, business opportunities, and life.

In Once Upon an Algorithm, Martin Erwig explains computation as something that takes place beyond electronic computers, and computer science as the study of systematic problem solving. Erwig points out that many daily activities involve problem solving. Getting up in the morning, for example: You get up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast. This simple daily routine solves a recurring problem through a series of well-defined steps. In computer science, such a routine is called an algorithm.

Creative Selection recounts the life of one of the few who worked behind the scenes, a highly respected software engineer who worked in the final years of the Steve Jobs era - the Golden Age of Apple.

Inside, you will find an introduction to JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and SQL. These are computer programming languages. Some of them are more precisely referred to as scripting languages. Starting with JavaScript, I will introduce you to the above-mentioned programming languages. Hopefully, by the end of this audiobook, you will have the answers to the questions of what it is and what you can do with it.

The world of computers is growing at an unrecordable rate every day. Computers are the most influential tools in our lives. They are our present and future. Most users see a computer at the front and use the graphical user interfaces. The first time I used a computer, it intrigued me to know how these interfaces work. In this book, you will learn the same way I did.

In the popular imagination, superhuman artificial intelligence is an approaching tidal wave that threatens not just jobs and human relationships, but civilization itself. Conflict between humans and machines is seen as inevitable and its outcome all too predictable. In this groundbreaking audiobook, distinguished AI researcher Stuart Russell argues that this scenario can be avoided, but only if we rethink AI from the ground up. Russell begins by exploring the idea of intelligence in humans and in machines.
