Bit by bit : a graphic introduction to computer science / by King, Ecy Femi,author.; Stanford University.(CARDINAL)141303;
CS106A. The fundamentals -- The control flow family and friends -- A coordinated bunch: floats, pixels, and grids -- Strings, lists, and loose ends -- Drawing with code: but a canvas to our imaginations -- More on iterables: Dictionaries; tuples, lambda, and some helpful functions -- CS106B. I can C++ now: examining C++isms and basics -- Learning our ADTs: examining some C++ containers -- Big-o, recursion, and backtracking -- Making memories: . . . with pointers, heaps, call stacks, and structs -- Getting classy: exploring classes in C++ -- Let's link up: linked data structures."Originally designed as an educational supplement for the renowned Stanford courses Computer Science 106A and 106B, Bit by Bit is a comic-style resource that uses fractal grids, custom-drawn characters, and fun graphics as a visually immersive introduction to the key concepts of beginner coding, learning pedagogy, education, and visual thinking. Bit by Bit takes readers on a journey that encompasses the full scope of both courses; beginning with the chief elements and fundamentals of programming such as functions, variables, and integers; carrying readers through the basics of Python and C++ into the conceptual world of efficiency and recursion; and walking them through collections of linked data structures. Throughout each section, course and Stanford alum Ecy Femi King is there to guide, cajole, and assist, simultaneously providing useful tips to encourage maximum knowledge absorption and engaging commentary for readers at every level. In short, this book is more than just a cohesive "study buddy" for introductory Stanford courses. Rather, it delivers a far-reaching guide of both pedagogical interest and practical use to students, educators, and researchers worldwide."--Provided by publisher.

Park himself is a three-time World's Toughest Triathlon Winner. As one of his clients says, "Having Peter as your trainer is kind of like having Bill Gates as your computer science teacher." Now Park and his team bring their expertise to anyone who spends long hours at work, has lost strength, mobility, and freedom of movement, and who wants to get it all back. Park's proven program will help readers reclaim fitness by learning functional movements designed to retrain poor patterns. With a series of workouts that build upon one another, readers will learn to get the whole body working together, restoring the core and regaining pain-free movement to truly live a life without limits."--Publisher's description.

A.I. apocalypse / by Hertling, William,author.(CARDINAL)607777;
"Leon Tsarev is a high school student set on getting into a great college program, until his uncle, a member of the Russian mob, coerces him into developing a new computer virus for the mob's botnet - the slave army of computers they used to commit digital crimes. The evolutionary virus Leon creates, based on biological principles, is successful -- too successful. All the world's computers are infected. Everything from cars to payment systems and, of course, computers and smart phones stop functioning, and with them go essential functions including emergency services, transportation, and the food supply. Billions may die. But evolution never stops. The virus continues to evolve, developing intelligence, communication, and finally an entire civilization. Some may be friendly to humans, but others are not. Leon and his companions must race against time and the military to find a way to either befriend or eliminate the virus race and restore the world's computer infrastructure"--Amazon.com.
