What do I want to be when I grow up? This is an age-old question that young Bridget and Fidget Widget seek to answer as they join their dad for a family stroll through the village. As they walk, they see all sorts of interesting individuals doing fascinating things. They meet Jack Hammer, who is shaking and pounding the pavement. They see the town’s talented plumber, Walter Wrench, who is busy unclogging drains. They see Mrs. Fryer, who is serving up crispy bacon and two eggs sunny-side up. They watch Mr. Vendor making change and then eye Sally Sawit, who is busy building something out of wood. They peer through a window to see Mr. Reboot repairing a broken clock, and they walk by a team of painters giving a brick wall a vibrant splash of color. Before returning home, the family even sees an officer directing traffic, a street sweeper sucking up trash, and heavy equipment operators rolling down the street and digging giant holes. It’s an eye-opening journey for the brother and sister. They are introduced to many different skilled trades while being reminded there are no limitations to what they can do or become! With rich, evocative illustrations and concise dialogue, young readers are introduced to a colorful world of possibilities and opportunities.
Discover Golang's GUI libraries such as Go-GTK (GIMP Toolkit) and Go-Qt and build beautiful, performant, and responsive graphical applications Key FeaturesConceptualize and build state-of-art GUI applications with Golang (Go)Tackle the complexity of varying GUI application sizes with a structured and scalable approachGet hands-on experience of GUI development with Shiny, and labs/ui, Fyne, and WalkBook Description Go is often compared to C++ when it comes to low-level programming and implementations that require faster processing, such as Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). In fact, many claim that Go is superior to C++ in terms of its concurrency and ease of use. Most graphical application toolkits, though, are still written using C or C++, and so they don't enjoy the benefits of using a modern programming language such as Go. This guide to programming GUIs with Go 1.11 explores the various toolkits available, including UI, Walk, Shiny, and Fyne. The book compares the vision behind each project to help you pick the right approach for your project. Each framework is described in detail, outlining how you can build performant applications that users will love. To aid you further in creating applications using these emerging technologies, you'll be able to easily refer to code samples and screenshots featured in the book. In addition to toolkit-specific discussions, you'll cover more complex topics, such as how to structure growing graphical applications, and how cross-platform applications can integrate with each desktop operating system to create a seamless user experience. By delving into techniques and best practices for organizing and scaling Go-based graphical applications, you'll also glimpse Go's impressive concurrency system. In the concluding chapters, you'll discover how to distribute to the main desktop marketplaces and distribution channels. By the end of this book, you'll be a confident GUI developer who can use the Go language to boost the performance of your applications. What you will learnUnderstand the benefits and complexities of building native graphical applications Gain insights into how Go makes cross-platform graphical application development simple Build platform-native GUI applications using andlabs/ui Develop graphical Windows applications using Walk Create multiplatform GUI applications using Shiny, Nuklear, and Fyne Use Go wrappers for GTK and Qt for GUI application development Streamline your requirements to pick the correct toolkit strategyWho this book is for This book is designed for Go developers who are interested in building native graphical applications for desktop computers and beyond. Some knowledge of building applications using Go is useful, but not essential. Experience in developing GUIs is not required as the book explores the benefits and challenges they pose. This book will also be beneficial for GUI application developers who are interested in trying Go.
When their friend Rex goes missing, Dac and Steg set out to find him. They search his favorite hideouts, from a dark cave to a steep canyon. But he’s nowhere to be found. They ask everyone they meet if they know where Rex might be. Someone saw him at the waterfall. Someone else saw him at the bridge. But where is he now? Rex is seriously stuck in a pit of mud and muck. Can his friends come together and figure out a way to free him, or will they end up stuck in the muck, too?
It is easy to take for granted the marvel and complexity of those things that we do without thinking. Walking for instance. The modern human gait is a sophisticated choreography of balance and motion that has evolved over millions of years. And we rarely think about it until something changes. If you have begun to notice a small hitch in your step, it could be the precursor to major back problems, especially in women. Dr. Richard Robson wants to help you recognize and isolate the wiggle in your walk and help head off future lower back issues. Learn how to recognize and eliminate your wiggle and take back your natural gait once and for all.
Her well-earned nickname is Sorry Sophie because she’s always saying sorry. And that’s the problem. Sophie thinks saying the word sorry will solve or smooth over whatever mess, mishap, or misery she creates. But when she accidentally destroys her friend’s much-loved birthday gift, Sophie discovers that sometimes simply saying sorry isn’t enough. As Sophie seeks her friend’s forgiveness, she learns a valuable lesson: everyone makes mistakes, but how you respond afterward matters and that means acknowledging the wrongdoing, expressing remorse, sincerely apologizing, and working to repair the harm.
