This book takes you through building twelve projects that are all left open to being improved. This allows the user the opportunity to add more features and build their own unique interfaces while having the both the code core done and a basic UI required. Throughout this book the user will learn how useful features such as making their own basic encryption program as well as learning about Object Oriented Programming. The user will take these in addition to learning how to work with an API and have all the skills to start coding their own projects. If the user has not gone back to add on to the book's projects, there will be suggestions as to how they can improve upon what they have already made to make them more suitable to a portfolio. From here you can take your coding future in the direction of building more games, or focusing on building tools and software. Both of these branches have recommended projects and direction to continue your education.

In the fractious debate on the existence of God and the nature of religion, two distinguished authors radically alter the discussion. Taking a perspective rooted in evolutionary biology with a focus on brain science, the authors elucidate the perennial questions about religion: What is its purpose? How did it arise? What is its source? Why does every known culture have some form of it? Their answer is deceptively simple, yet at the same time highly complex: The brain creates religion and its varied concepts of God, and then in turn feeds on its creation to satisfy innate neurological and associated social needs. Brain science reveals that humans and other primates alike are afflicted by unavoidable sources of stress that the authors describe as "e;brainpain."e; To cope with this affliction people seek to "e;brainsoothe."e; We humans use religion and its social structures to induce brainsoothing as a relief for innate anxiety. How we do this is the subject of this groundbreaking book. In a concise, lively, accessible, and witty style, the authors combine zoom-lens vignettes of religious practices with discussions of the latest research on religion's neurological effects on the brain. Among other topics, they consider religion's role in providing positive socialization, its seeming obsession with regulating sex, creating an afterlife, how religion's rules of behavior influence the law, the common biological scaffolding between nonhuman primates and humans and how this affects religion, a detailed look at brain chemistry and how it changes as a result of stress, and evidence that the palliative effects of religion on brain chemistry is not matched by nonreligious remedies. Concluding with a checklist offering readers a means to compute their own "e;brainsoothe score,"e; this fascinating book provides key insights into the complexities of our brain and the role of religion, perhaps its most remarkable creation.

As technology comes to characterise our world in ever more comprehensive ways there are increasing questions about how the 'rights' and 'wrongs' of technological use can be adequately categorised. In this book, the 'question of technology' and its relation to criminal justice is approached as a whole.

Develops a theoretical approach toward reformulations in criminal behaviours, in particular the phenomenon of cybercrime. This book emphasizes a spatialized conception of deviance, one that clarifies the continuities between crime in the traditional, physical context and developing spaces of interaction such as a 'cyberspace'.

A gripping debut thriller full of pure adrenaline, explosive action and terrifying revelations that will keep even the most jaded reader glued to the pages and utterly engrossed.
