It's easier to learn how to program a computer than it has ever been before. Now everyone can learn to write programs for themselves - no previous experience is necessary. Chris Pine takes a thorough, but lighthearted approach that teaches you the fundamentals of computer programming, with a minimum of fuss or bother. Whether you are interested in a new hobby or a new career, this book is your doorway into the world of programming. Computers are everywhere, and being able to program them is more important than it has ever been. But since most books on programming are written for other programmers, it can be hard to break in. At least it used to be. Chris Pine will teach you how to program. You'll learn to use your computer better, to get it to do what you want it to do. Starting with small, simple one-line programs to calculate your age in seconds, you'll see how to write interactive programs, to use APIs to fetch live data from the internet, to rename your photos from your digital camera, and more. You'll learn the same technology used to drive modern dynamic websites and large, professional applications. Whether you are looking for a fun new hobby or are interested in entering the tech world as a professional, this book gives you a solid foundation in programming. Chris teaches the basics, but also shows you how to think like a programmer. You'll learn through tons of examples, and through programming challenges throughout the book. When you finish, you'll know how and where to learn more - you'll be on your way. What You Need: All you need to learn how to program is a computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and an internet connection. Chris Pine will lead you through setting set up with the software you will need to start writing programs of your own.
Anya's War
Anya Rosen and her family have left their home in Odessa for Shanghai, believing that China will be a safe haven from Hitler's forces. At first, Anya's life in the Jewish Quarter of Shanghai is privileged and relatively carefree: she has crushes on boys, fights with her mother, and longs to defy expectations just like her hero, Amelia Earhart. Then Anya finds a baby—a newborn abandoned on the street. Amelia Earhart goes missing. And it becomes dangerously clear that no place is safe—not for Jewish families like the Rosens, not for Shanghai's poor, not for adventurous women pilots. Based on a true story, here is a rich, transcendent novel about a little-known time in Holocaust history.

Then one day, everything changes. Their father is killed in a mysterious car wreck, and Draydon is injured severely enough to be sent to the hospital. Draydon develops a bizarre fear of mirrors, and he starts seeing thingsstrange things. Damian swears he saw a boy in the road, right before the car accident, and a burn in the shape of a handprint has appeared on his body. Dante, now the man of the Lantz household, has his own problems: terrible nightmares that confuse his sense of dream and reality. The Lantz boys dilemma seems to heighten with the arrival in town of a carnival. Abel Lantz has been forbidden to see his grandsons, but hes old enough to remember the last time the carnival came to town, over fifty-five years before. Last time, something bad happened to all the twelve-year-old children of town. Abel fears for his own family, while the boys fear for each other. Is there a connection between the carnival and the mysterious difficulties of the Lantz family? And if there is, will Dante figure it out in time to save their livesand possibly their souls?
