Head first Ruby / by McGavren, Jay,author.(CARDINAL)623907;

Includes bibliographical references (page 513) and index."What will you learn from this book? What's all the buzz about this Ruby language? Is it right for you? Well, ask yourself: are you tired of all those extra declarations, keywords, and compilation steps in your other languages? Do you want to be a more productive programmer? Then you'll love Ruby. WIth this unique hands-on learning experience, you'll discover how Ruby takes care of all the details for you, so you can simply have fun and get more done with less code. What's so special about this book? Based on the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory, Head First Ruby uses a visually rich format to engage your mind, rather than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. Why waste your time struggling with new concepts? This multi-sensory learning experience is designed for the way your brain really works."--More with less : code the way you want -- Methods and classes : getting organized -- Inheritance : relying on your parents -- Initializing instances : off to a great start -- Arrays and blocks : better than loops -- Block return values : how should I handle this? -- Hashes : labeling data -- References : crossed signals -- Mixins : mix it up -- Comparable and enumerable : ready-made mixes -- Documentation : read the manual -- Exceptions : handling the unexpected -- Unit testing : code quality assurance -- Web apps : serving HTML -- Saving and loading data : keep it around -- Leftovers : the top ten topics (we didn't cover).

Quantum information for babies [board book] / by Ferrie, Chris,author.(CARDINAL)352374;

"It only takes a small spark to ignite a child's mind! Written by an expert, Quantum Information for Babies is a colorfully simple introduction to the newest ideas in physics. Babies (and grownups!) will learn all about qubits (quantum bits) and why they are so different from, and more useful than, the regular bits of information stored on our computers today. With a tongue-in-cheek approach that adults will love, this installment in the Baby University board book series is the perfect way to introduce basic concepts to even the youngest scientists. After all, it's never too early to become a quantum physicist!."--Ages 0-3.

The history of science in bite-sized chunks / by Chalton, Nicola,author.(CARDINAL)814897; MacArdle, Meredith,author.(CARDINAL)424039;

"Since ancient times, we have tried to make sense of our universe by observing objects far beyond our abilities to see or touch-from the smallest atom to the farthest star. This book covers, in chronological order, all the key discoveries and remarkable minds in each scientific field, including Aristotle's geocentric model of the cosmos, Darwin's theory of evolution, Newton's theory of gravity, and Einstein's theory of relativity. Also included are fascinating anecdotes about the lives of influential scientists: learn how Ptolemy fixed his results to match his theories; Freud used cocaine to expand his mind; and Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, was banned from using university computers after being caught hacking. Revealing how human curiosity knows no bounds, and how the field of science has evolved over the last 2,500 years, this book breaks everything down into easily digestible sections to give a broad overview of the fascinating history of science." -- ONIX annotation.
