Core Java for the Impatient
An Essential Guide to the Core Language and Libraries--Updated for Java 21 Modern Java introduces major enhancements that impact the core language and APIs at the heart of the Java platform. Many old Java idioms are no longer needed, and new features and programming paradigms can make you far more effective. However, navigating these changes can be challenging. Core Java for the Impatient, Fourth Edition, is a complete guide that reflects all changes through Java SE 21, Oracle's latest Long-Term Support (LTS) release. Written by Cay S. Horstmann--author of the classic two-volume Core Java--this concise tutorial offers a faster, easier pathway for learning modern Java. Horstmann covers everything working developers need to know, including the powerful concepts of lambda expressions and streams, modern constructs such as records and sealed classes, and sophisticated concurrent programming techniques. Given the size and scope of Java 21, there's plenty to cover. As in previous editions, everything is presented in small chunks organized for quick access and easy understanding, with plenty of practical insights and sample code to help you quickly apply all that's new. Test code as you create it with JShellImprove your object-oriented design with records and sealed classesEffectively use text blocks, switch expressions, and pattern matchingUnderstand functional programming with lambda expressionsStreamline and optimize data management with the Streams APIUse structured techniques, threadsafe data structures, and virtual threads for effective concurrent programmingWork with the modularized Java API and third-party modulesTake advantage of API improvements for working with collections, input/output, regular expressions, and processes Whether you're an experienced developer just getting started with modern Java or have been programming with Java for years, this guide will help you write more robust, efficient, and secure Java code. Core Java for the Impatient provides accessible coverage of Java features that will enable readers to Master foundational techniques, idioms, and best practices for writing superior Java codeLeverage the power of input/outputImprove performance and efficiencyFully utilize multicore processors with Java's improved concurrency Register your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.

Scala for the Impatient
Scala 3--A Clear, Concise Guide Scala 3 is concise, consistent, flexible, robust, and efficient, but there's a lot to learn and navigating features and improvements can be challenging. Scala for the Impatient, Third Edition, is a complete yet concise guide that reflects the major enhancements of Scala 3, from improved syntax and revamped type system to powerful contextual abstractions. This indispensable tutorial offers a faster, easier pathway for learning today's Scala. Horstmann--author of the programming classic, Core Java--covers everything working developers need to know, focusing on hands-on solutions, not academic theory. Given the size and scope of Scala 3, there's plenty to cover but it's presented in small chunks organized for quick access and easy understanding, with plenty of practical insights and focused sample code. Get started quickly with Scala 3 interpreter, syntax, tools, and current usageMaster core language features: functions, arrays, maps, tuples, packages, imports, exception handling, and moreDesign and build better object-oriented code with Scala 3Use Scala for real-world programming tasks: working with files, regular expressions, and processesWork with higher-order functions and the powerful Scala collections libraryCreate concurrent programs with Scala futuresUnderstand the Scala type system, including revamped enums, intersection and union types, and enhanced type inferenceUse contextual abstractions to easily extend class hierarchies, enrich existing classes, perform automatic conversions, and elegantly hide tedious detailsApply advanced "power tools" such as annotations and given valuesDiscover how to "program with types," analyzing and generating types at compile timeGet a taste of what's now possible with Scala macros If you're a Java, Python, C++, or C# programmer who's new to Scala or functional programming--or even if you've already used earlier versions of Scala--this guide will help you write code that's more robust, more efficient, and more secure.

Philosophy of Education, 4th Edition
The first edition of Nel Noddings' Philosophy of Education was acclaimed as the best overview in the field" by the journal Teaching Philosophy and predicted to become the standard textbook in philosophy of education" by Educational Theory . This classic text, originally designed to give the education student a comprehensive look at philosophical thought in relation to teaching, learning, research, and educational policy, has now been updated to reflect the most current thinking in the field. A revised chapter on Logic and Critical Thinking makes the topic more accessible to students and examines how critical thinking plays a role in light of the new Common Core standards. Philosophy of Education introduces students to the evolution of educational thought, from the founding fathers to contemporary theorists, with consideration of both analytic and continental traditions. This is an essential text not only for teachers and future teachers, but also for anyone needing a survey of contemporary trends in philosophy of education.
