In this book, we’ll talk about why you should care about Crystal, how to get up and running, the basics of writing software in Crystal, and maybe even something like building a Ruby gem with Crystal.

The goals of Common Lisp are thus very close to those of Standard Lisp and Portable Standard Lisp. Common Lisp differs from Standard Lisp primarily in incorporating more features, including a richer and more complicated set of data types and more complex control structures.
In this book we will be concerned with supervised learning, which is the problem of learning input-output mappings from empirical data (the training dataset). Depending on the characteristics of the output, this problem is known as either regression, for continuous outputs, or classification, when outputs are discrete.
This is a book about algorithms for performing arithmetic, and their implementation on modern computers. It collects in the same document all state-of-the-art algorithms in multiple precision arithmetic (integers, integers modulo n, floating-point numbers).
Many books teach beginners how to write secret messages using ciphers. A couple of books teach beginners how to hack ciphers. But no books teach beginners how to program computers to hack ciphers. This book fills that gap.
In computer science, beginning courses are trapped in an approach that was already ten years out of date by the time it was canonized in the mid 80s. This book points the way out of the trap. It emphasizes programming as a way to express ideas, rather than just a way to get computers to perform tasks.
With the latest upcoming book-to-movie of Stephen King’s IT later this year (September 2017), there’s no excuse for anyone not to explore one of the greatest horror of history – IT. A 1986 horror novel, the story follows the exploits of seven children as they are terrorized by the eponymous being, which exploits the fears and phobias of its victims in order to disguise itself while hunting its prey. “It” primarily appears in the form of a clown in order to attract its preferred prey of young children.
