Internet of things programming with JavaScript

Functional programming (函數式程式設計) 是一種已有六十年歷史的程式設計範式，為何現在變得越來越重要？這是因為隨著各種連網設備 (如行動裝置) 和雲端服務的普及，多程序透過網路交換訊息已成為常態，因此分散式系統的開發變得至關重要。分散式系統軟體開發的複雜性往往導致開發過程容易陷入混亂，程式碼盤根錯節難以除錯維護與擴展，成為揮之不去卻又不敢動的痛處。而 functional programming 的簡約風格因此受到廣泛關注。這種設計範式強調使用函式來構建應用程式，程式碼清晰又容易維護，亦能解決分散式系統多執行緒的問題。除了專門的函數式語言之外，Python、Java、JavaScript、C#、C++、Go 和 Rust 等知名語言的新版中，也因應趨勢增強了對 functional programming 的支援。只要建立了這種思維方式，你就可以應用在自己的程式語言中。市面上與 functional programming 相關的書籍 (主要為英文書) 通常由學者撰寫，內容偏重理論，而在大型實務專案經驗上顯得不足。這類書中的範例大多過於簡單，未能涉及實際軟體架構問題。與此相反，本書作者擁有二十年在產業界實際運用 functional programming 的經驗，從產業角度出發，旨在幫助那些在軟體工程實踐中遇到困難的工程師重新思考。即使你的目的不是分散式系統，學習 functional programming 的思維都能夠幫助你在撰寫任何程式時想得更周到。由於 functional programming 的特點 — 無 side effects（額外作用）和資料的不可變性 — 使得它非常適用於開發網路程式，在這種環境中，資料一致性和狀態管理是關鍵挑戰。本書透過 concurrency primitives（併發基本工具）實作、繪製時間線圖、分析並解決併發操作中的插緒問題，有效處理狀態變化和 bug，從而構建可靠的分散式系統程式。本書特色: ●作者從產業界的視角出發，旨在幫助那些陷入困境的軟體工程師，重新審視並採納 functional programming 程式設計方法。●為了更貼近軟體工程師的實際狀況，書中以廣泛熟知的 JavaScript 語言做示範。雖然 JavaScript 不是最理想的函數式語言，但這一點

本書是JavaScript經典圖書的新版。第5版涵蓋ECMAScript 2024，全面、深入地介紹了JavaScript的基礎語法和高級特性。書中詳盡討論了JavaScript的各個方面，從JavaScript的起源開始，逐步講解到最 新的技術，重點介紹了ECMAScript標準和DOM規範，並在此基礎上討論了JavaScript語言的核心概念， 包括類、期約、迭代器、代理，等等。另外，書中也結合實際開發深入探討了事件、動畫、表單、錯誤處理及JSON。本書同時也介紹了近幾年來湧現的重要新規範，包括Fetch、模塊、工作者線程以及大量新的JavaScript API。

《INTERNET CAFE! PANDA》是台灣新銳攝影師陳智賢（Chih-Hsien Chen）的首本攝影集。他以抓拍式的影像速寫，紀錄了舊時代的網咖文化，關於那些混亂角落與奇葩之人，一幕幕幽默的走光式畫面，展現充滿在地特色的台灣奇景。 這系列作品的起源，來自攝影師在台中一間神秘網咖工作的經歷。許多常客都是中老年人，長期寄居在同一個黑色皮椅上，喜歡播色情片睡覺的禿頭阿伯、一次收費 600 元的站街小姐、永遠坐最後一排靠牆角落的撿回收爺爺⋯⋯他一邊工作收餐，一邊無法抗拒的受他們吸引，偷偷觀察他們古怪的言行舉止。 趁著工作空檔，他開始拿出相機，拍下各種生猛又滑稽的場面。一個一個衣衫不整的人，東倒西歪熟睡著，看起來像被槍斃了一樣。桌底下常常有精液，有人拉屎在樓梯上，沒有道德規則或文明禮儀，而是遵循動物性的原始直覺。在講求美觀和體面的當代社會，這間破舊的網咖，反而保存了一份真實的人性。 這些收錄於書中的照片，成為一系列台灣社會邊緣者的風俗群像，粗工、妓女、無家者、資源回收的人。閃光燈打在他們臉上，照亮他們千奇百態的睡姿、以小時計價的生活，有些脫序離奇，有些詼諧幽默，但無論如何，這就是他們未經修飾的網咖人生。

Over a span of 260 years, from 630 to 894, Japanese embassies to Tang China (ken-Tō shi) played a vital role in importing Tang governance and culture to Japan, significantly shaping the political and cultural landscape of an emerging Japanese state with codes of law (ritsuryō). However, the seventeenth embassy during the Jōwa period, fraught with turmoil, marked the final mission to Tang China.
