Czy bogactwo niewielu służy nam wszystkim?
Zygmunt Bauman
Esej Zygmunta Baumana - pierwszy raz po polsku! Gdyby majątek skupiony w rękach nielicznych naprawdę "spływał w dół", świat wyglądałby zupełnie inaczej. W tej prowokującej i przenikliwej książce Zygmunt Bauman rozwiewa to wygodne złudzenie. Zadaje pytanie: czy w miarę jak bogaci stają się coraz bogatsi, reszta z nas naprawdę na tym zyskuje? Z charakterystyczną dla siebie precyzją rozumowania Bauman: demaskuje ukryte założenia, które usprawiedliwiają nierówność, pokazuje, że nadmiar bogactwa rzadko jest korzystny dla wszystkich, zachęca do ponownego przemyślenia pojęć rozwoju gospodarczego, wartości i odpowiedzialności społecznej, prowokuje do stawiania nowych pytań o moralność, demokrację i wspólne dobro. Łącząc socjologię, etykę i filozofię polityczną, Bauman tworzy argumentację zarówno wnikliwą, jak i przystępną. Ten porażający tekst to lektura obowiązkowa dla każdego, kto chce zrozumieć - lub zakwestionować - logikę współczesnego porządku ekonomicznego. "Mistrzowska, niepokojąca krytyka - potrzebujemy więcej Baumana w naszych czasach."

D is a programming language with C-like syntax and static typing. The vibe.d framework builds on powerful D concepts like template meta-programming and compile-time function execution to provide an easy-to-use environment for web applications. The combination of a feature-rich web programming framework with a language compiling to native code solves two common issues in web development today: it accelerates your development and it results in fast, native web applications. Learning the vibe.d framework before you start your application will help you to choose the right features to reach your goal.This book guides you through all aspects of web development with D and the vibe.d framework.Covering the popular operating systems today, this guide starts with the setup of your development system. From the first Hello World-style application you will move on to building static web pages with templates. The concise treatment of web forms will give you all the details about form handling and web security. Using the abstractions of the web framework you will learn how to easily validate user input. Next, you will add database access to your application, providing persistent storage for your data. Building on this foundation, you will expose your component and integrate other components via REST. Learning about the internals of vibe.d you will be able to use low-level techniques such as raw TCP access. The vibe.d concepts can also be used for GUI clients, which is the next topic that you will learn. vibe.d is supported by an active community, which adds new functionality. This comprehensive guide concludes with an overview of the most useful vibe.d extensions and where to find them. It also shows you how to integrate these extensions in your application.The concepts are always illustrated with source code, giving you an insight into how to apply them in your application.
D3.js 4.x Data Visualization. Learn to visualize your data with JavaScript - Third Edition
Aendrew Rininsland , Swizec Teller
Want to get started with impressive interactive visualizations and implement them in your daily tasks? This book offers the perfect solution-D3.js. It has emerged as the most popular tool for data visualization. This book will teach you how to implement the features of the latest version of D3 while writing JavaScript using the newest tools and techniqueYou will start by setting up the D3 environment and making your first basic bar chart. You will then build stunning SVG and Canvas-based data visualizations while writing testable, extensible code,as accurate and informative as it is visually stimulating. Step-by-step examples walk you through creating, integrating, and debugging different types of visualization and will have you building basic visualizations (such as bar, line, and scatter graphs) in no time.By the end of this book, you will have mastered the techniques necessary to successfully visualize data and will be ready to use D3 to transform any data into an engaging and sophisticated visualization.

D3 has emerged as one of the leading platforms to develop beautiful, interactive visualizations over the web. We begin the course by setting up a strong foundation, then build on this foundation as we take you through the entire world of reimagining data using interactive, animated visualizations created in D3.js. In the first module, we cover the various features of D3.js to build a wide range of visualizations. We also focus on the entire process of representing data through visualizations. By the end of this module, you will be ready to use D3 to transform any data into a more engaging and sophisticated visualization.In the next module, you will learn to master the creation of graphical elements from data. Using practical examples provided, you will quickly get to grips with the features of D3.js and use this learning to create your own spectacular data visualizations with D3.js.Over the last leg of this course, you will get acquainted with how to integrate D3 with mapping libraries to provide reverse geocoding and interactive maps among many other advanced features of D3. This module culminates by showing you how to create enterprise-level dashboards to display real-time data.This Learning Path combines some of the best that Packt has to offer in one complete, curated package. It includes content from the following Packt products:? Learning D3.js Data Visualization, Second Edition by Andrew H. Rininsland? D3.js By Example by Michael Heydt?

D3.js Quick Start Guide. Create amazing, interactive visualizations in the browser with JavaScript
Matthew Huntington
D3.js is a JavaScript library that allows you to create graphs and data visualizations in the browser with HTML, SVG, and CSS. This book will take you from the basics of D3.js, so that you can create your own interactive visualizations, to creating the most common graphs that you will encounter as a developer, scientist, statistician, or data scientist.The book begins with an overview of SVG, the basis for creating two-dimensional graphics in the browser. Once the reader has a firm understanding of SVG, we will tackle the basics of how to use D3.js to connect data to our SVG elements. We will start with a scatter plot that maps run data to circles on a graph, and expand our scatter plot to make it interactive. You will see how you can easily allow the users of your graph to create, edit, and delete run data by simply dragging and clicking the graph. Next, we will explore creating a bar graph, using external data from a mock API.After that, we will explore animations and motion with a bar graph, and use various physics-based forces to create a force-directed graph. Finally, we will look at how to use GeoJSON data to create a map.
