But he also finds laughter and kindness, trust and friendship . . . and love.

Kotlin Standard Library Cookbook. Master the powerful Kotlin standard library through practical code examples

Samuel Urbanowicz

For developers who prefer a more simplistic approach to coding, Kotlin has emerged as a valuable solution for effective software development. The Kotlin standard library provides vital tools that make day-to-day Kotlin programming easier. This library features core attributes of the language, such as algorithmic problems, design patterns, data processing, and working with files and data streams.With a recipe-based approach, this book features coding solutions that you can readily execute. Through the book, you’ll encounter a variety of interesting topics related to data processing, I/O operations, and collections transformation. You’ll get started by exploring the most effective design patterns in Kotlin and understand how coroutines add new features to JavaScript. As you progress, you'll learn how to implement clean, reusable functions and scalable interfaces containing default implementations. Toward the concluding chapters, you’ll discover recipes on functional programming concepts, such as lambdas, monads, functors, and Kotlin scoping functions, which will help you tackle a range of real-life coding problems. By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with the expertise you need to address a range of challenges that Kotlin developers face by implementing easy-to-follow solutions.

Unity 2018 Shaders and Effects Cookbook. Transform your game into a visually stunning masterpiece with over 70 recipes - Third Edition

John P. Doran, Alan Zucconi

Since their introduction to Unity, shaders have been seen as notoriously difficult to understand and implement in games. Complex mathematics has always stood in the way of creating your own shaders and attaining the level of realism you crave.Unity 2018 Shaders and Effects Cookbook changes that by giving you a recipe-based guide to creating shaders using Unity. It will show you everything you need to know about vectors, how lighting is constructed with them, and how textures are used to create complex effects without the heavy math.This book starts by teaching you how to use shaders without writing code with the post-processing stack. Then, you’ll learn how to write shaders from scratch, build up essential lighting, and finish by creating stunning screen effects just like those in high-quality 3D and mobile games. You'll discover techniques, such as normal mapping, image-based lighting, and animating your models inside a shader. We'll explore how to use physically based rendering to treat light the way it behaves in the real world. At the end, we’ll even look at Unity 2018’s new Shader Graph system.With this book, what seems like a dark art today will be second nature by tomorrow.

Dominie Dean. A Novel

Ellis Parker Butler

Humorous novel set in Riverbank, a fictionalized Muscatine, in a Mississippi River town. Pastor David Dean and his wife take up residence in this town, Iowa in the 1850s and learn how unaccepting a small town can be of new residents, even after a stay of decades. An interesting social history of mid nineteenth century life, emphasizing the dominance of crass commercial interests in the vicissitudes of small town life, written by an American author Ellis Parker Butler. He was the author of more than 30 books and more than 2,000 stories and essays and is most famous for his short story Pigs Is Pigs, in which a bureaucratic stationmaster insists on levying the livestock rate for a shipment of two pet guinea pigs, which soon start proliferating geometrically.

Urlop wypoczynkowy jako instrument realizacji prawa pracownika do odpoczynku

Monika Nowak

Publikacja dotyczy problematyki urlopów wypoczynkowych w kontekście jednego z podstawowych praw pracowniczych - prawa do odpoczynku. Autorka wyjaśnia pojęcie i znaczenie tego prawa, przedstawia jego uzasadnienie, a także wskazuje na podstawowe instrumenty jego realizacji, wśród których główną rolę odgrywa urlop wypoczynkowy, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem ewolucji rozwiązań prawnych. Dokonała też analizy i oceny poszczególnych elementów konstrukcyjnych prawa do urlopu wypoczynkowego oraz zasad jego udzielania z punktu widzenia podstawowej funkcji tego urlopu, jaką jest wypoczynek. W odróżnieniu od innych opracowań z tego zakresu, zawarte w prezentowanej monografii rozważania nie stanowią jedynie opisu instytucji urlopów wypoczynkowych, ale są próbą oceny stopnia, w jakim instytucja ta urzeczywistnia konstytucyjną i kodeksową zasadę prawa pracy - prawa do odpoczynku. Autorka koncentruje się na odpowiednich unormowaniach kodeksowych, jednak odwołuje się również do szeregu ustaw szczególnych w zakresie prawa urlopowego, dotyczących wybranych grup pracowniczych - zwłaszcza nauczycieli i pracowników tymczasowych. Odnosi się ponadto do międzynarodowych i europejskich rozwiązań prawnych. Książka jest adresowana do szerokiego grona odbiorców zajmujących się prawem pracy - w szczególności do przedstawicieli polskiej nauki prawa pracy, legislatorów, sędziów sądów pracy, adwokatów, radców prawnych, inspektorów pracy czy przedstawicieli związków zawodowych. Pogłębiona analiza przepisów prawa oraz wykorzystanie bogatego orzecznictwa sądowego powoduje, że będzie ona również cennym źródłem wiedzy dla pracodawców, pracowników działów kadr i HR.
