Summary

Tired of the boring, incomprehensible, alphabet soup that coding books throw at you? Prefer to enjoy learning HTML? Itching to smash zombies while learning how to build websites? You're in luck.  
 
Only your web development skills can save the planet from the hordes of zombies that walk our streets. As everyone assuredly knows (because the author didn't make it up at all) creating web pages is the only sure way to kill a zombie, well that and a shotgun… This book will get you beating down hordes in a post-apocalyptic second with HTML. 
  
What You'll Beat Zombies With 
 
Besides learning how to punch a zombie in the HTML5, you'll learn the major HTML elements that make up a modern web page and how to put them to good use. You'll learn the structural underpinnings of a web page, how to mark up text, how to wrangle attributes, and ways to embed images, audio, and video. By the time you're done you'll understand HTML, know how to build your own web page, and pwn zombies with your skills. 
  
How You'll Learn to Smack Zombies Around 
 
You won't just passively take in the view, like a zombie shuffling across the mainland. You'll have plenty of combat practice with analogies, examples, and code tutorials you can build, break and fix again. Working with your hands and your head you'll craft code that pleases the eye and knocks a zombie into last Tuesday.  
 
All the code and directions are provided as both codepen tutorials and downloadable html files, so you can fight the apocalypse how and where you like. You can work with them on the codepen site or on your own device. 
 
And later you'll bring those skills together in a final project that cements those skills into zombie smashing muscle memory. 
  
Why Zombies? 
 
Are zombies just a gimmick? Why would this be any better than a straight laced book that sticks to the facts?  
 
Straight laced books are often straight boring. And if you have insomnia problems go buy that book. The author, John, has read the boring books and knows that staying awake and engaged are also important for learning. But this book uses zombie references and analogies not just to make you smile, but to help the material stick. If a tough technical concept is related in silly terms you understand, like a zombie trying to buy gum at a super market, it's much more likely to stay in that brain those zombies are intent on eating.  
 
There's no reason good learning can't live right alongside good fun. So grab your computer, grab your sense of humor and hit that buy button. We've got websites to build and zombies to smack.

    Welcome to the world of project management in the age of AI. The revolution is here, and it's time to embrace it. As project managers, we are living in a world of constant change and disruption, and AI technology is transforming the way we work. We need to adapt, evolve, and embrace the opportunities that AI technology presents.    The potential of AI technology in project management is immense. It can help us to automate repetitive tasks, streamline processes, and deliver insights that were previously inaccessible. By leveraging AI technology, project managers can unlock new growth opportunities, increase profitability, and stay ahead of the competition.    However, the rise of AI technology also presents challenges for project managers. As project managers, we need to learn how to manage complex AI projects, collaborate with AI teams, and interpret AI-generated insights. We need to develop new skills, embrace new technologies, and adopt a growth mindset to succeed in the age of AI.    The challenge of managing AI projects requires project managers to learn new skills and approaches. For example, project managers need to understand how to manage projects with AI-driven analytics, such as machine learning algorithms, and how to integrate these insights into their project plans. Additionally, project managers need to be able to manage the complexity of AI projects, which often involve large amounts of data and multiple stakeholders.    To overcome these challenges, project managers need to adopt a growth mindset and embrace new technologies. This means being willing to learn new skills, experiment with new tools, and collaborate with AI teams. Project managers also need to be able to interpret AI-generated insights and incorporate them into their project plans effectively.    In this book, we explore the challenges facing project managers in the AI revolution and the specific needs project managers have to succeed in the age of AI. We provide strategies, tools, and resources for project managers to leverage AI technology to create value-based propositions and intellectual property.    We also share case studies and examples of successful AI projects, as well as stories of project managers overcoming challenges in the AI revolution. These examples illustrate the impact of AI technology on project management and provide lessons learned to help project managers understand how to apply these strategies and insights to their own projects.    Our goal is to help project managers unlock the full potential of AI technology and take their projects and organizations to the next level. We encourage the reader to reflect on their own skills and recognize the growth potential that AI technology presents. We want to inspire and motivate project managers to embrace the challenges and opportunities of the AI revolution.    So, are you ready to step into the unknown and embrace the growth potential of your company through AI-driven project management? Let's begin this journey together and unlock the power of AI technology.

    The 4 States of Consciousness

    Every living thing with a brain has some form of Consciousness, or an awareness of who or what they are and the role they play in the universe.  But few of the living really know what to do with that information.Electrons make up the first state of Consciousness.  We now know that they can learn about each other and bind together for life like a marriage in what's known as 'Entanglements.' Whenever the state of one 'Entangled' electron is changed, the other one in the pair knows about it and it changes instantly to show unification.  This happens instantly no matter how far away the two may be from one another.  How do they know?  The only answer is 'Consciousness'.   From there, the forces of Nature allow the Electrons to pass their subatomic level of Consciousness up to the level of Atoms, structured out of the building blocks of the electrons, protons, etc.  From there, the Atoms, or Elements are able to pass up their form of Consciousness to the molecular level.  Remember the Avogadro's Number?From the molecular level, molecules are able to pass on their level of Consciousness to all living things, the 4th and highest State of Consciousness for all living things - what I call the Feedback Loop.  We are all part of that loop.  It's a loop because even at the highest level of Consciousness, we still use Electrons to create and transport our thoughts throughout our brains.This book is an answer to some of the greatest questions of all time and they are:   'Where do we come from?'  'Why are we here?' and 'What can we do about it?'

    Uranium is a common element in the earth's crust and the only naturally occurring mineral with the power to end all life on the planet. After World War II, it reshaped the global order-whoever could master uranium could master the world.Marie Curie gave us hope that uranium would be a miracle panacea, but the Manhattan Project gave us reason to believe that civilization would end with apocalypse. Slave labor camps in Africa and Eastern Europe were built around mine shafts, and America would knowingly send more than 600 uranium miners to their graves in the name of national security.Fortunes have been made from this yellow dirt; massive energy grids have been run from it. Fear of it panicked the American people into supporting a questionable war with Iraq, and its specter threatens to create another conflict in Iran. Now, some are hoping it can help avoid a global warming catastrophe.In Uranium, Tom Zoellner takes readers around the globe in this intriguing look at the mineral that can sustain life or destroy it.

    A guided journey through the inner workings of Earth, the cloaked mysteries of other planets in our solar system, and beyond.Earth, from space, looks like a shimmering gem suspended in an inky, infinite expanse. But this serene image masks the magnificent and volatile interior forces that make life possible for millions of species on the surface. The placid appearances of our neighboring planets similarly belie their powers—and science fiction-worthy features, like diamond rain. The daily machinations of Earth's deep interior make the planet a habitable, yet sometimes treacherous, place to live. Drill down thousands of miles through our built environments and soil, sand, water, rock, and minerals to the outer (mainly liquid iron with nickel) and inner core, encountering intense convection, roiling metals, hidden continents, and shifting tectonic plates. Discover the effects of magnetism, rotation, and seismic activity seen and sensed in the forms of auroras, hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes, among other manifestations.Join this exciting journey to far-flung interstellar locations and the center of the Earth to learn what lies beneath our feet, and why it's the best real estate in our solar system.
