A picture book biography of Margaret Hamilton, the first female software engineer, whose code helped launch the Apollo missions! Perfect for STEAM curriculum and readers of all ages.Margaret Hamilton loved numbers as a young girl. She knew how many miles to the moon (and how many back). She loved studying algebra and geometry and calculus and using math to solve problems in the outside world.Soon math led her to MIT and helping NASA put a man on the moon! She hand wrote code that would allow the spacecraft's computer to solve any problems it might encounter. Apollo 8. Apollo 9. Apollo 10. Apollo 11. Without her code, none of these missions could have been completed.A lovely portrayal of one of the first female software engineers. To this day, Margaret Hamilton loves numbers and started her own software company. She continues to reach for the stars!There will be an extensive author's note and bibliography, as well as photos of Margaret's life and work.

How China’s economic development combines a veneer of unprecedented progress with the increasingly despotic rule of surveillance over all aspects of lifeSince the mid-2000s, the Chinese state has increasingly shifted away from labor-intensive, export-oriented manufacturing to a process of socioeconomic development centered on science and technology. Ya-Wen Lei traces the contours of this techno-developmental regime and its resulting form of techno-state capitalism, telling the stories of those whose lives have been transformed—for better and worse—by China’s rapid rise to economic and technological dominance. Drawing on groundbreaking fieldwork and a wealth of in-depth interviews with managers, business owners, workers, software engineers, and local government officials, Lei describes the vastly unequal values assigned to economic sectors deemed “high-end” versus “low-end,” and the massive expansion of technical and legal instruments used to measure and control workers and capital.She

Organizations pour vast resources into building new products and services. Yet, too many new offerings are poorly conceived, don't delight (or even satisfy) customers, and fail in the marketplace. More effective product ownership and product management can keep that from happening to you. Now, there's an expert guide to world-class agile product development, reflecting deep in-the-trenches experience from two renowned product innovation experts and Scrum consultants. Chris Lukassen and Robbin Schuurman introduce powerful behaviors, tools, concepts, and skills for delivering superior products and services, and avoiding pitfalls that keep you from understanding what customers really need and want. You'll learn how to make crucial decisions based on better insights, not anecdotal or subjective second-hand information; and optimize roles including product owner, customer representative, visionary, experimenter, decision-maker, collaborator, and influencer. The authors teach through a start

Today, more than ever, building software is hard. Not only we have to chase ever-changing technological trends, but we also have to grasp business domains that we are building the software for. The latter is often overseen, and it explains why so many projects are doomed to fail. After all, how can you build a solution if you don't understand the problem?Through this book, you will learn the Domain-Driven Design (DDD) methodology which provides a set of core patterns, principles, and practices for analyzing business domains, understanding business strategy, and, most importantly, aligning software design with its business needs. These include Ubiquitous Language, Bounded Contexts, Event Storming, and others. You will see how these practices not only lead to robust implementation of business logic, but also to future-proof software design and architecture. You will also learn the relationship between DDD and other methodologies to ensure that you are able to make architectural decisions

An R Companion for the Third Edition of The Fundamentals of Political Science Research offers students a chance to delve into the world of R using real political data sets and statistical analysis techniques directly from Paul M. Kellstedt and Guy D. Whitten's best-selling textbook. Built in parallel with the main text, this workbook teaches students to apply the techniques they learn in each chapter by reproducing the analyses and results from each lesson using R. Students will also learn to create all of the tables and figures found in the textbook, leading to an even greater mastery of the core material. This accessible, informative, and engaging companion walks through the use of R step-by-step, using command lines and screenshots to demonstrate proper use of the software. With the help of these guides, students will become comfortable creating, editing, and using data sets in R to produce original statistical analyses for evaluating causal claims.
