Does just thinking about the laws of motion make your head spin? Does studying electricity short your circuits? Do the complexities of thermodynamics cool your enthusiasm?
Thanks to this book, you don’t have to be Einstein to understand physics. As you read about Newton’s Laws, Kepler’s Laws, Hooke’s Law, Ohm’s...
You’ve mastered the basics, conquered the soldering iron, and programmed a robot or two; now you’ve got a set of skills and tools to take your Arduino exploits further. But what do you do once you’ve exhausted your to-build list?
Arduino Playground will show you how to keep your hardware hands busy...
Over the past decade, regular expressions have experienced a remarkable rise in popularity.
Today, all the popular programming languages include a powerful regular expression
library, or even have regular expression support built right into the language.
Many developers have taken advantage of these regular...
