Design in Object Technology
Experience the raw, unannotated version of the original course, Design In Object Technology, created by Dr. Alistair Cockburn. In the 1990s, Dr. Cockburn was one of the leading methodologists in the new area of object-oriented design. Hired by the IBM Consulting Group to create their methodology for object-technology projects, he taught the entire design team on a live project all they would need to know to run the project they were embarking on. This book is that course. Offering a rare glimpse into a moment in time where the standards and practices of object technology were being chartered by the leaders of the day, this book gives an unfiltered look into the approach and techniques used to educate practitioners. Now, in 2021, that course has historical significance. It was at the time a tour-de-force of complete project education, from project management tips to requirements gathering to software design. It set the stage for modern "agile" development techniques. Old-timers will enjoy seeing the presentation of these core topics. Newcomers can learn subtleties of techniques they may only have heard of. Everyone will enjoy the depth and liveliness of what might otherwise be a boring Powerpoint deck.

How Algorithms Create and Prevent Fake News
"It's a joy to read a book by a mathematician who knows how to write. [...] There is no better guide to the strategies and stakes of this battle for the future."---Paul Romer, Nobel Laureate, University Professor in Economics at NYU, and former Chief Economist at the World Bank. "By explaining the flaws and foibles of everything from Google search to QAnon--and by providing level-headed evaluations of efforts to fix them--Noah Giansiracusa offers the perfect starting point for anyone entering the maze of modern digital media."--Jonathan Rauch, senior fellow at the Brookings Institute and contributing editor of The AtlanticFrom deepfakes to GPT-3, deep learning is now powering a new assault on our ability to tell what's real and what's not, bringing a whole new algorithmic side to fake news. On the other hand, remarkable methods are being developed to help automate fact-checking and the detection of fake news and doctored media. Success in the modern business world requires you to understand these algorithmic currents, and to recognize the strengths, limits, and impacts of deep learning---especially when it comes to discerning the truth and differentiating fact from fiction. This book tells the stories of this algorithmic battle for the truth and how it impacts individuals and society at large. In doing so, it weaves together the human stories and what's at stake here, a simplified technical background on how these algorithms work, and an accessible survey of the research literature exploring these various topics. How Algorithms Create and Prevent Fake News is an accessible, broad account of the various ways that data-driven algorithms have been distorting reality and rendering the truth harder to grasp. From news aggregators to Google searches to YouTube recommendations to Facebook news feeds, the way we obtain information todayis filtered through the lens of tech giant algorithms. The way data is collected, labelled, and stored has a big impact on the machine learning algorithms that are trained on it, and this is a main source of algorithmic bias -- which gets amplified in harmful data feedback loops. Don't be afraid: with this book you'll see the remedies and technical solutions that are being applied to oppose these harmful trends. There is hope.What You Will LearnThe ways that data labeling and storage impact machine learning and how feedback loops can occurThe history and inner-workings of YouTube's recommendation algorithmThe state-of-the-art capabilities of AI-powered text generation (GPT-3) and video synthesis/doctoring (deepfakes) and how these technologies have been used so farThe algorithmic tools available to help with automated fact-checking and truth-detectionWho This Book is ForPeople who don't have a technical background (in data, computers, etc.) but who would like to learn how algorithms impact society; business leaders who want to know the powers and perils of relying on artificial intelligence. A secondary audience is people with a technical background who want to explore the larger social and societal impact of their work.

Apple Software Protection Digest
Welcome to the Apple Software Protection Digest - dedicated to the subject of protection and how it relates to software for the Apple II series of computers. You will learn how to protect, unprotect and backup your software. Inside this collection are Jules H. Gilder's six issues published between 1985 and 1986. Too often, purchasers of programs get stuck. They buy a program only to discover that it can't be used with a particular accessory board or disk drive. And, because the program is protected, it can't be modified. Apple II owners need a place where they can get more information about software protection. They need to know what software protection is, how it's implemented, what are the consequences of it, how it can be overcome if necessary and if there are any comparable unprotected alternatives to particular protected software packages. Apple Software Protection Digest will provide you with this information and more. It will show you new ways to protect, unprotect and backup your programs. It will teach you how to prevent others from accessing your programs and it will show you how to make them more difficult to copy. In addition, you'll learn how to overcome these and other protection schemes that are in use. You'll learn how to use the powerful, but complicated nibble copy programs. You'll also learn how to crack or remove protection entirely from many programs. With the programs that are included in each issue of the Digest, you'll build a valuable library of utility software that will make the job of protecting, unprotecting and backing up software easier. And, tutorials will keep you up-to-date on both simple and sophisticated protection techniques. In addition to all this, you will get reviews of hardware, software and books that are of particular importance to the software protection field. Programmers work long, hard hours to get their software working and they deserve to be compensated fairly for it. On the other hand, the honest consumer should not be penalized and limited in their application of a particular program simply because the publisher decided to protect it. You may have a legitimate need to backup a program and we hope to supply you with the knowledge you need to do that. Alternatively, you may wish to protect a program that you've written so that others can't copy it. We'll show you how to do that too.
Test-Driven Development in Swift
Leverage Swift to practice effective and efficient test-driven development (TDD) methodology. Software testing and TDD are evergreen programming concepts--yet Swift developers haven't widely adopted them. What's needed is a clear roadmap to learn and adopt TDD in the Swift world. Over the past years, Apple has invested in XCTest and Xcode's testing infrastructure, making testing a new top priority in their ecosystem. Open-source libraries such as Quick and Nimble have also reached maturity. The tools are there. This book will show you how to wield them. TDD has much more to offer than catching bugs. With this book, you'll learn a philosophy for building software. TDD enables engineers to solve problems incrementally, writing only as much code as necessary. By decomposing big problems into small steps, you can move along at a fast pace, always making visible progress. Participate in the test-driven development journey by building a real iOS application and incorporating new concepts through each chapter. The book's concepts will emerge as you figure out ways to use tests to drive the solutions to the problems of each chapter. Through the TDD of a single application, you'll be introduced to all the staples and advanced concepts of the craft, understand the trade offs each technique offers, and review an iterative process of software development. Test-Driven Development in Swift provides the path for a highly efficient way to make amazing apps.What You'll LearnWrite tests that are easy to maintainLook after an ever-growing test suiteBuild a testing vocabulary that can be applied outside the Swift worldSee how Swift programming enhances the TDD flow seen in dynamic languages Discover how compiler errors can provide the same helpful guidance as failing tests doWho This Book Is ForMid-level developers keen to write higher quality code and improve their workflows. Also, developers that have already been writing tests but feel they are not getting the most out of them.

Introduction to Computational Origami
This book focuses on origami from the point of view of computer science. Ranging from basic theorems to the latest research results, the book introduces the considerably new and fertile research field of computational origami as computer science. Part I introduces basic knowledge of the geometry of development, also called a net, of a solid. Part II further details the topic of nets. In the science of nets, there are numerous unresolved issues, and mathematical characterization and the development of efficient algorithms by computer are closely connected with each other. Part III discusses folding models and their computational complexity. When a folding model is fixed, to find efficient ways of folding is to propose efficient algorithms. If this is difficult, it is intractable in terms of computational complexity. This is, precisely, an area for computer science research. Part IV presents some of the latest research topics as advanced problems. Commentaries on all exercises included in the last chapter. The contents are organized in a self-contained way, and no previous knowledge is required. This book is suitable for undergraduate, graduate, and even high school students, as well as researchers and engineers interested in origami.

Apple Software Protection Digest
Welcome to the Apple Software Protection Digest - dedicated to the subject of protection and how it relates to software for the Apple II series of computers. You will learn how to protect, unprotect and backup your software. Inside this collection are Jules H. Gilder's six issues published between 1985 and 1986. Too often, purchasers of programs get stuck. They buy a program only to discover that it can't be used with a particular accessory board or disk drive. And, because the program is protected, it can't be modified. Apple II owners need a place where they can get more information about software protection. They need to know what software protection is, how it's implemented, what are the consequences of it, how it can be overcome if necessary and if there are any comparable unprotected alternatives to particular protected software packages. Apple Software Protection Digest will provide you with this information and more. It will show you new ways to protect, unprotect and backup your programs. It will teach you how to prevent others from accessing your programs and it will show you how to make them more difficult to copy. In addition, you'll learn how to overcome these and other protection schemes that are in use. You'll learn how to use the powerful, but complicated nibble copy programs. You'll also learn how to crack or remove protection entirely from many programs. With the programs that are included in each issue of the Digest, you'll build a valuable library of utility software that will make the job of protecting, unprotecting and backing up software easier. And, tutorials will keep you up-to-date on both simple and sophisticated protection techniques. In addition to all this, you will get reviews of hardware, software and books that are of particular importance to the software protection field. Programmers work long, hard hours to get their software working and they deserve to be compensated fairly for it. On the other hand, the honest consumer should not be penalized and limited in their application of a particular program simply because the publisher decided to protect it. You may have a legitimate need to backup a program and we hope to supply you with the knowledge you need to do that. Alternatively, you may wish to protect a program that you've written so that others can't copy it. We'll show you how to do that too.
