Vulkan, the next generation graphics and compute API, is the latest offering by Khronos. This API is the successor of OpenGL and unlike OpenGL, it offers great flexibility and high performance capabilities to control modern GPU devices. With this book, you'll get great insights into the workings of Vulkan and how you can make stunning graphics run with minimum hardware requirements.We begin with a brief introduction to the Vulkan system and show you its distinct features with the successor to the OpenGL API. First, you will see how to establish a connection with hardware devices to query the available queues, memory types, and capabilities offered. Vulkan is verbose, so before diving deep into programing, you’ll get to grips with debugging techniques so even first-timers can overcome error traps using Vulkan’s layer and extension features. You’ll get a grip on command buffers and acquire the knowledge to record various operation commands into command buffer and submit it to a proper queue for GPU processing. We’ll take a detailed look at memory management and demonstrate the use of buffer and image resources to create drawing textures and image views for the presentation engine and vertex buffers to store geometry information.You'll get a brief overview of SPIR-V, the new way to manage shaders, and you'll define the drawing operations as a single unit of work in the Render pass with the help of attachments and subpasses. You'll also create frame buffers and build a solid graphics pipeline, as well as making use of the synchronizing mechanism to manage GPU and CPU hand-shaking.By the end, you’ll know everything you need to know to get your hands dirty with the coolest Graphics API on the block.
Learning Website Development with Django
Ayman Hourieh
Being a beginner's guide this book has a very simple and clear approach. It is a practical guide that will help you learn the features of Django and help you build a dynamic website using those features. This book is for web developers who want to see how to build a complete site with Web 2.0 features, using the power of a proven and popular development system, but do not necessarily want to learn how a complete framework functions in order to do this. Basic knowledge of Python development is required for this book, but no knowledge of Django is expected.

Lepszy kod w Pythonie. Przewodnik dla aspirujących ekspertów
David Mertz
Wyjdź poza kod Pythona, który "w dużej mierze działa", do kodu, który jest ekspresyjny, solidny i wydajny Python jest zapewne najczęściej używanym językiem programowania na świecie, od nauczania w szkołach podstawowych, przez codzienne tworzenie stron internetowych, aż po najbardziej zaawansowane badania naukowe. Choć każde zadanie w Pythonie można wykonać na wiele różnych sposobów, niektóre z nich są błędne, nieeleganckie lub nieefektywne. Lepszy kod w Pythonie to przewodnik po programowaniu "pythonicznym", zbiór najlepszych praktyk, technik i niuansów, które łatwo przeoczyć, zwłaszcza gdy mamy nawyki zapożyczone z innych języków programowania. Autor David Mertz prezentuje konkretne i zwięzłe przykłady rozmaitych nieporozumień, pułapek i złych nawyków. Wyjaśnia, dlaczego niektóre praktyki są lepsze od innych, bazując na swoim ponad 25-letnim doświadczeniu jako uznany członek społeczności Pythona. Rozdziały ułożone są w kolejności rosnącej według stopnia zaawansowania, a każdy z nich szczegółowo omawia powiązane grupy pojęć. Nie ma znaczenia, czy dopiero zaczynasz pracę z Pythonem, czy też jesteś doświadczonym deweloperem przesuwającym granice swojego kodu w Pythonie. Ta książka jest dla każdego, kto chce być bardziej pythoniczny pisząc lepszy kod w języku Python. Dr David Mertz od ponad 25 lat jest członkiem społeczności Pythona i uczył Pythona naukowców, deweloperów z doświadczeniem w innych językach, a także początkujących programistów. David przez sześć lat był dyrektorem organizacji Python Software Foundation (PSF) i nadal przewodniczy lub należy do różnych grup roboczych PSF. Jest autorem kilku książek technicznych i wygłaszał wykłady na licznych międzynarodowych konferencjach programistycznych. "Moje wysokie oczekiwania wobec tej wciągającej książki o Pythonie zostały przekroczone: oferuje ona mnóstwo cennych informacji dla średnich i zaawansowanych programistów pozwalając im udoskonalić swoje umiejętności w Pythonie, obszernie dzieli się cennym doświadczeniem związanym z wykorzystywaniem i nauczaniem języka, a przy tym jest zwięzła, łatwa w czytaniu i pisana stylem konwersacyjnym. Alex Martelli Używaj właściwego rodzaju pętli w Pythonie Poznaj tajniki obiektów zmiennych i niezmiennych Uzyskaj porady od ekspertów w celu uniknięcia kłopotów w Pythonie Zbadaj zaawansowane tematy dotyczące Pythona Poruszaj się po "atrakcyjnych uciążliwościach", które istnieją w Pythonie Poznaj najbardziej przydatne struktury danych w Pythonie i dowiedz się, jak uniknąć ich niewłaściwego wykorzystywania Unikaj błędów związanych z bezpieczeństwem Poznaj podstawy obliczeń numerycznych, w tym liczby zmiennoprzecinkowe i numeryczne typy danych
