Summary

"Kotlin Essentials"Kotlin Essentials is a comprehensive guide designed to take developers from foundational understanding to expert proficiency in Kotlin, whether they are transitioning from Java, embracing multiplatform projects, or seeking to master advanced language features. The book opens with an in-depth exploration of modern language fundamentals, highlighting Kotlin’s expressive syntax, robust static typing with type inference, and innovative null-safety mechanisms. Readers will gain practical insights into control flow, concise function definitions, and the power of extension functions, all compared thoughtfully with Java and Scala paradigms for clear context.As the journey unfolds, the book delves into the core of Kotlin's object-oriented and functional programming capabilities. It covers advanced class structures, inheritance, abstraction, and the effective use of data, sealed, and singleton objects. Readers will discover patterns for designing extensible hierarchies, building reusable components through delegation and composition, and leveraging powerful functional constructs such as higher-order functions, immutability, and algebraic data types. The advanced type system receives thorough attention, with coverage of generics, variance, inline and reified types, and runtime reflection—ensuring robust, type-safe abstractions for any scenario.Recognizing the realities of modern software development, Kotlin Essentials expertly addresses asynchronous programming with coroutines, architectural patterns for concurrency, and multiplatform strategies for code sharing across JVM, JS, and Native targets. It guides professionals through effective collection usage, interop with Java and JavaScript, building expressive DSLs, compiling and profiling for performance, and best practices in testing, deployment, and scaling. Whether developing Android apps, server-side systems, or cutting-edge multiplatform solutions, this book provides a complete and authoritative resource for mastering Kotlin in production settings.

    Few books have changed humanity's understanding of the physical universe as profoundly as this one.

Isaac Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, widely known by its Latin title Principia Mathematica, presents the mathematical framework that transformed the study of motion and gravitation.

Through rigorous reasoning, Newton develops principles describing the behavior of moving bodies and applies them to phenomena both on Earth and in the heavens. The work helped establish the foundations of classical mechanics and provided a unified mathematical approach to understanding motion, force, and gravitational attraction.

First published in 1687, the Principia became one of the most influential scientific works in history and remains essential to understanding the development of physics, astronomy, mathematics, and scientific thought.

Explore the landmark work that reshaped our understanding of the universe and influenced generations of scientists.

    Smart homes are here—domestic spaces bristling with networked technologies that appear to enhance work, entertainment, logistics, health, and security. But these technologies may also extract a cost in attention, money, and privacy. In Threshold, communication and technology expert Heather Suzanne Woods applies rhetorical theory to answer the urgent question of how swiftly proliferating smart homes alter those who inhabit them. 
 
 
 
Building on research into smart homes in the United States, Woods recounts how smart homes arose and predicts the trajectory of their future form. She pulls back the curtain on the technology, probes who is in control, and questions whether a home can be too smart. 
 
 
 
Woods suggests a dynamic cultural framework for understanding smart homes that takes into account sociotechnical variables through which smart homes shape human life. Woods's framework reveals how smart homes both reflect social norms about technology as well as whet consumer appetites. 
 
 
 
Written for homeowners, policymakers, technology enthusiasts, and scholars, Threshold interweaves critical analysis with matter-of-fact graphics that map relationships between digital tools and social life.

    Read by the author.  
Data is not about number crunching. It’s about ideas. And when used properly (read: ethically), it is the problem solver of our time. 
Yet many savvy people seem to be in data denial: they don’t think they need to understand data, or it’s too complicated, or worse, using it is somehow unethical. Yet as data and AI (just an accelerated way to put data to work) move to the center of professional and civic life, every professional and citizen needs to harness this power. 
In The Little Book of Data, each chapter illustrates one of the core principles of solving problems with data by featuring an expert who has solved a big problem with data—from the entrepreneur creating a “loneliness score” to the epidemiologist trying to save lives by finding disease “hotspots.” 
The stories are told in a fast-moving, vivid, sometimes comic style, and cover a wide frame of reference from adtech to climate tech, the bubonic plague, tiny submarines, genomics, railroads, bond ratings, and meat grading. (That’s right. Meat.) 
Along the way Evans injects lessons from his own career journey and offers practical thought-starters for readers to apply to their own organizations. 
By reading The Little Book of Data, you will achieve the fluency to apply your data superpowers to your own mission and challenges—and you will have fun along the way. 
You will be, in other words, a data person.
