Logan Martin
Author: Logan Martin
Publisher: Penguin Group Australia
ISBN: 1760146358
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
One of the top storylines from the 2021 Tokyo Olympics was the brigade of bandits from Australia throwing down at the freestyle park for the inaugural action-sports events – in particular the young gun from Logan City, Queensland, who took the gold medal off the table before his competitors knew what had happened. But there’s been nothing easy about Logan’s ascent to the top. His journey began at twelve when his family moved a block away from the local skate park – a charged gathering place for drop-ins and drop-outs, a culture crucible, and a place to test your skills in front of stunned peers and naysayers alike. And it wouldn’t be long before Logan was vaulting himself onto ever-larger stages, in front of the eyes of the world. A testament to dedication and self-discipline, artistry and courage, Logan Martin has set the bar for what it means to be an international extreme sports athlete. Putting aside the fact that there are tricks in his quiver that few in the world can land, it’s his smooth confidence, aggressive lines and virtuosity bottled up in a 5’6” tattooed frame that has won the world’s attention. And the real scary part? He’s coming back for more.

Erlang and OTP in Action
Author: Eric Merritt
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 163835426X
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 650
Book Description
Concurrent programming has become a required discipline for all programmers. Multi-core processors and the increasing demand for maximum performance and scalability in mission-critical applications have renewed interest in functional languages like Erlang that are designed to handle concurrent programming. Erlang, and the OTP platform, make it possible to deliver more robust applications that satisfy rigorous uptime and performance requirements. Erlang and OTP in Action teaches you to apply Erlang's message passing model for concurrent programming--a completely different way of tackling the problem of parallel programming from the more common multi-threaded approach. This book walks you through the practical considerations and steps of building systems in Erlang and integrating them with real-world C/C++, Java, and .NET applications. Unlike other books on the market, Erlang and OTP in Action offers a comprehensive view of how concurrency relates to SOA and web technologies. This hands-on guide is perfect for readers just learning Erlang or for those who want to apply their theoretical knowledge of this powerful language. You'll delve into the Erlang language and OTP runtime by building several progressively more interesting real-world distributed applications. Once you are competent in the fundamentals of Erlang, the book takes you on a deep dive into the process of designing complex software systems in Erlang. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

Book Description
Rathmell's book, biased in favor of the five Marlow brothers, has long been out of print. Robert K. DeArment has sifted through the evidence and presents an objective, annotated edition. Readers can judge for themselves: were the Marlows as law-abiding as Rathmell claims?
