Summary

Are you a PHP developer looking to take your first steps into the world of Ruby development? From PHP to Ruby on Rails will help you leverage your existing knowledge to gain expertise in Ruby on Rails. With a focus on bridging the gap between PHP and Ruby, this guide will help you develop the Ruby mindset, set up your local environment, grasp the syntax, master scripting, explore popular Ruby frameworks, and find out about libraries and gems.

This book offers a unique take on Ruby from the perspective of a seasoned PHP developer who initially refused to learn other technologies, but never looked back after taking the leap. As such, it teaches with a language-agnostic approach that will help you feel at home in any programming language without learning everything from scratch. This approach will help you avoid common mistakes such as writing Ruby as if it were PHP and increase your understanding of the programming ecosystem as a whole.

By the end of this book, you'll have gained a solid understanding of Ruby, its ecosystem, and how it compares to PHP, enabling you to build robust and scalable applications using Ruby on Rails.

“Hope Not Nope reveals the timeless prescription for vitality and well-being.” ~Featured on: NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX 
Hope Not Nope powerfully moves you towards a more positive existence by equipping you with the tools to update your mindset and become a modern-day champion. In the title and writing the term “Lifelong Athlete” is utilized to imply hope is cultivated in this identity, but also adds a fresh perspective: Hope is not wishful thinking, it’s learned and earned. The “Lifelong Athlete” identity is not just related to competitive events, it’s living out the values of servant-based leadership to achieve wholeness: Health. 
“It is rare to hold such a comprehensive, point, and powerful compilation of all that is positive in my hands. I have to go back to The Power Of Positive Thinking, written by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale in 1952, to find its equal." ~Tim Green, NY Times Best Selling Author, Former Atlanta Falcons Star Defensive End 
If your goal is to achieve the desires placed on your heart, make each day better than the last, and leave a lasting legacy for the next generation to follow, then the simple not easy solutions presented in this “wellness and longevity roadmap” will be not only your inspiration but your guide.

This book is a chronology of the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and the famous victory drive of the Seventh Army.  It starts at the Worms Rhine bridgehead and moves quickly onto Aschaffenburg, before describing the Hammelburg Raid to release US POWs. The seizure of Nuremberg was hugely symbolic and this beautiful city was the scene both of the infamous Nazi Rallies and of course the War Crimes Tribunals.  The road to Munich, always worth visiting (bierfest or no bierfest!) is via the Danube crossings and the book takes in the liberation of the appalling Dachau Concentration Camp and the battle at the SS Barracks. Munich was the center of Hitlers early life and represented his power base. He was imprisoned here and wrote Mein Kampf.  The book climaxes with the approach to the Alps and the superb Eagles Nest, so popular with tourists.

Over the Seawall - Tsunamis...

In March 2011, people in a coastal Japanese city stood atop a seawall watching the approach of the tsunami that would kill them. They believed—naively—that the huge concrete barrier would save them. Instead they perished, betrayed by the very thing built to protect them. Erratic weather, blistering drought, rising seas, and ecosystem collapse now affect every inch of the globe. Increasingly, we no longer look to stop climate change, choosing instead to adapt to it.Never have so many undertaken such a widespread, hurried attempt to remake the world. Predictably, our hubris has led to unintended—and sometimes disastrous—consequences. Academics call it maladaptation; in simple terms, it's about solutions that backfire. Over the Seawall tells us the stories behind these unintended consequences and the fixes that can do more harm than good. From seawalls in coastal Japan, to the reengineered waters in the Ganges River Delta, to the artificial ribbon of water supporting both farms and urban centers in parched Arizona, Stephen Robert Miller traces the histories of engineering marvels that were once deemed too smart and too big to fail. In each he takes us into the land and culture, seeking out locals and experts to better understand how complicated, grandiose schemes led instead to failure, and to find answers to the technologic holes we've dug ourselves into.
