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.

Life deals us many hard blows that we often don't expect. I admire the fact that someone like Stacey Chillemi was thrown a curveball that may have knocked many of us down to the point where many of us may not have wanted to get back up, but she did. It wasn't easy, but she possesses a determined spirit that won't let her give up. For that reason, Stacey will go far and achieve whatever dreams she sets her mind to accomplish. Della Crews Reporter -- Editorial Review -Anchor / Talk Show Host /News 12 NJ, Review
An important, clearly-written book with everything I've been looking for, for over 50 years since I was diagnosed with epilepsy. In particular, I'm able to explain to others things about me that I never knew before, as well as recommend this book. Thanks to the author for sharing her knowledge with the world.
