From PHP to Ruby on Rails - Transition from PHP to Ruby by leveraging your existing backend programming knowledge

Bernard Pineda

Sinopsis

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.

Planta Sapiens - The New Science...

Paco Calvo, Natalie Lawrence

An astonishing window into the inner world of plants, and the cutting-edge science in plant intelligence. 
 
 
 
Decades of research document plants' impressive abilities: they communicate with one another, manipulate other species, and move in sophisticated ways. Lesser known, however, is the new evidence that plants may actually be sentient. Although plants may not have brains, their microscopic commerce exposes a system not unlike the neuronal networks running through our own bodies. They can learn and remember, possessing an intelligence that allows them to behave in adaptive, flexible, anticipatory, and goal-directed ways. 
 
 
 
A leading figure in the philosophy of plant signaling and behavior, Paco Calvo offers an entirely new perspective on plant biology. In Planta Sapiens, he shows for the first time how we can use tools developed in animal cognition studies in a quest to deeply understand plant intelligence. He illuminates how plants inspire technological advancements: from robotics and AI to tackling the ecological crisis. Most importantly, he demonstrates that plants are neither objects nor resources; they are agents in themselves, and for themselves.

Force of Nature - Understanding...

Owen D. Jones

An eye-opening exploration of natural selection’s power and how it can help human society flourish. 
  
Most of us learned about natural selection in our school days and remember the basics of how it drives evolution, plus a few of its everyday implications, like the risks of overusing antibiotics. Yet deep misconceptions about evolution and natural selection abound—even, studies show, among medical students and high school biology teachers, not to mention the rest of us. In Force of Nature, professor of law and biology Owen D. Jones reveals how these misunderstandings cost us opportunities, undermine our goals, and even imperil lives—and shows how a deeper understanding of natural selection is far more useful and powerful than we think. 
  
Jones argues that natural selection is not merely a historical process that shaped relationships between species in the past, but an underused framework for navigating today’s most pressing challenges. By sharpening our understanding of how natural selection actually operates—its speed, scale, and profound influence on human and animal behavior—we can make better decisions across a wide range of fields. Drawing on examples from medicine, psychology, and artificial intelligence to economics, agriculture, law, and beyond, Force of Nature demonstrates how evolutionary thinking can open new horizons in cancer treatment and space exploration, create faster machines and more agile robots, and even help design more effective and just laws. Along the way, readers tour some of animals’ most remarkable behaviors, such as the archerfish’s prowess at precision-firing missiles of water and geckos’ ability to walk upside-down—on glass. 
  
Enlightening and inspiring, Force of Nature invites us to appreciate natural selection as a dynamic force we can better understand—and harness—to build smarter technologies, wiser policies, and a more resilient future. 
  
"A lucid and eye-opening presentation of the many surprising ways that natural selection can help us understand ourselves and the world we are making."—Steven Pinker, best-selling author of When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows …

Drawing Out Leviathan -...

Keith M. Parsons

" . . . are dinosaurs social constructs? Might not all of our beliefs about dinosaurs merely be figments of the paleontological imagination? A few years ago such questions would have seemed preposterous, even nonsensical. Now they must have a serious answer." 
 
 
 
At stake in the "Science Wars" that have raged in academe and in the media is nothing less than the standing of science in our culture. One side argues that science is a "social construct," that it does not discover facts about the world, but rather constructs artifacts disguised as objective truths. This view threatens the authority of science and rejects science's claims to objectivity, rationality, and disinterested inquiry. Drawing Out Leviathan examines this argument in the light of some major debates about dinosaurs: the case of the wrong-headed dinosaur, the dinosaur "heresies" of the 1970s, and the debate over the extinction of dinosaurs. 
 
 
 
Keith Parsons claims that these debates show that evidence and logic remained vitally important. They show science to be a complex set of activities, pervaded by social influences, and not easily reducible to any stereotype. Parsons acknowledges that there are lessons to be learned by scientists from their would-be adversaries, and the book concludes with some recommendations for ending the Science Wars.
