Summary

ROS 2 from Scratch, written by the cofounder of a robotics company with years of experience in teaching and engineering, will equip you with the skills necessary to develop cutting-edge robotic systems efficiently.This book will help you understand why you should use Robot Operating System (ROS), clarifying what ROS is and isn’t. It focuses on applied learning—no unnecessary filler, no abstract theory, and no abrupt leaps into complex topics. You’ll discover how to install ROS 2, set up your environment, and explore concepts through hands-on experiments, as well as create a ROS 2 application for a custom robot. The chapters expand upon core concepts such as nodes, communication via topics, client-server interactions with services, complex behaviors using actions, runtime configurations with parameters, and seamless node orchestration via launch files. Each concept is clearly explained with the help of real-life analogies and practical examples, using Python and C++. The book will also guide you through creating a real-world project that incorporates TFs, URDF, RViz, and Gazebo.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to create new software for any robot in no time and easily join existing projects for new job roles, research endeavors, and beyond.

    Book one: 
    If you are considering this line of work, it is important that you become familiar with what is currently available in the marketplace. While many companies simply want COBOL programmers to write codes that they can use, others will want a variety of specific tasks completed. 
    If you are looking for a new career and want something that will provide stability, then COBOL programming may be the right path for you. 
    Book two: 
    One of the reasons why COBOL programming is preferred over other languages is because of its versatility. COBOL can be used to program just about anything, depending on which library modules are selected for use in a particular program.  
    COBOL database interaction is a set of techniques that allow us to interact with databases. COBOL database interaction is used to retrieve, store, and modify specific records in a database table. It is done by modifying row values. This feature of COBOL allows us to perform everyday tasks, such as deleting or updating records in a database table, while restoring the original state of the data after the updated records have been deleted. 
    Book three: 
    This book provides basic principles and techniques for writing efficient high-level COBOL programs. It is also a practical guide to developing high-performance applications by optimizing both COBOL code and the application. 
    The book introduces essential concepts of performance analysis and optimization. It also covers many tools and techniques including some advanced techniques, such as parallelization, multiprocessing, virtual machines, and XML parsing. With the help of hands-on examples, real-world case studies, process maps, and a full-scale application, this book teaches professionals and students alike how to build high-performance applications using the latest techniques.

    Have you ever looked at the effects of climate change and the apathy of so many around you and wondered, "What are we missing here?" 
     
     
     
    Climate activist Kyle Meyaard-Schaap understands this feeling from personal experience. But in his years of speaking to and equipping Christians to work for climate action, he's seen the trend begin to shift. More and more young Christians are waking up to the realities of climate change. They want to help, but they're not sure how. 
     
     
     
    Through stories from the field, theological and scriptural exploration, and practical advice, Meyaard-Schaap offers hope to Christians paralyzed by the scale of the crisis, helping us turn our paralysis into meaningful action. Following Jesus in a Warming World is a field guide for Christian climate action—one grounded not in a sense of guilt or drudgery, but in the joy of caring for creation.

    Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most commonly diagnosed birth abnormality in the US. With great advances in surgery and medicine, however, survival rates have improved by 75% since the 1940s. With better medical care, babies born today with CHD have a good chance of surviving, but throughout their entire lives they can face surgeries, invasive treatments, lifelong monitoring, frequent medical check-ups, and significant limitations on physical activity, in addition to poor public awareness. Much attention has rightly been focused on providing their parents and caretakers with resources and information. 
     
     
     
    Little attention, however, has been paid to the psychosocial impacts on these individuals, especially as they grow, mature, and become adults living with a serious, chronic medical condition. Prevalence rates for anxiety, depression, and PTSD are significantly higher (2-3x in some cases) for people living with CHD than the general adult population. Liza Morton and Tracy Livecchi are both mental health professionals who have developed a specialty in working with clients who have chronic medical conditions, and they are both themselves living with CHD. While their powerful personal stories are woven into the narrative, the book is focused on providing evidence-based coping and self-care skills for adults living with CHD.
