With a sly blend of fantasy, humor, and paranormal adventure, Kevin Hearne is the trickster god of action-packed mash-ups. In The Iron Druid Chronicles, Atticus O’Sullivan is a folk hero for the twenty-first century, battling legendary beasts, shadowy mystics, and demonic demigods from around the world. Now get Hounded, Hexed, and Hammered all at once in this eBook bundle, a triple dose of mayhem straight out of Hearne’s genre-smashing imagination. This ebook edition includes a special preview of Kevin Hearne’s upcoming novel A Plague of Giants, as well as two bonus short stories set in the world of The Iron Druid Chronicles: “Clan Rathskeller” and the eBook exclusive “Kaibab Unbound.” HOUNDED Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Tempe, Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time. A handsome, tattooed Irish dude, he looks like he’s about twenty-one years old—actually, he’s twenty-one centuries old and he wields a magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer. Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and now Atticus will need all his power—plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, and a sexy bartender possessed by a Hindu witch—to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil. HEXED Atticus doesn’t care much for witches, but he’s about to make nice with the local coven when suddenly the witch population in Tempe quadruples overnight. And the new girls are not just bad, they’re badasses with a dark history on the German side of World War II. But with a fallen angel feasting on local students, a horde of Bacchants blowing in from Vegas, and a dangerously sexy Celtic goddess of fire vying for his attention, Atticus is having trouble scheduling the witch hunt. HAMMERED Thor, the Norse god of thunder, is a blowhard and a bully, and Viking vampire Leif Helgarson has asked his friend Atticus for help taking down this Norse nightmare. As a rule, Atticus generally tries to stay away from the guy with the lightning bolts. Soon, though, Atticus and Leif are off to the plane of Asgard, where they team up with a werewolf, a sorcerer, and an army of frost giants for an epic showdown against vicious Valkyries, angry gods, and the hammer-wielding Thunder Thug himself.

Rust is a new systems programming language that combines the performance and low-level control of C and C++ with memory safety and thread safety. Rust’s modern, flexible types ensure your program is free of null pointer dereferences, double frees, dangling pointers, and similar bugs, all at compile time, without runtime overhead. In multi-threaded code, Rust catches data races at compile time, making concurrency much easier to use. Written by two experienced systems programmers, this book explains how Rust manages to bridge the gap between performance and safety, and how you can take advantage of it. Topics include: How Rust represents values in memory (with diagrams) Complete explanations of ownership, moves, borrows, and lifetimes Cargo, rustdoc, unit tests, and how to publish your code on crates.io, Rust’s public package repository High-level features like generic code, closures, collections, and iterators that make Rust productive and flexible Concurrency in Rust: threads, mutexes, channels, and atomics, all much safer to use than in C or C++ Unsafe code, and how to preserve the integrity of ordinary code that uses it Extended examples illustrating how pieces of the language fit together

Python Workbook for Beginners with Hands-On ProjectsAre you looking for a hands-on approach to learn Python fast? Or perhaps you have just completed a Python course and are looking for practice questions to test your Python skills.Do you have problems with some Python concepts and are looking for a workbook to provide you with more questions and solutions to learn from?This workbook is for you.This book is designed to be the accompanying workbook for the book "Learn Python In One Day and Learn It Well (2nd Edition)" by the same author. It can also be used as a standalone workbook for you to test and improve your knowledge of the Python syntax.What this book offers...Carefully designed questionsEach question in this workbook is crafted to help you gradually build your programming skills, focusing on one or two concepts at a time and increasing in level of difficulty as we progress through the chapters.Clear and Easy to Understand SolutionsAll solutions in this book are extensively tested by a group of beta readers. The solutions provided are simplified as much as possible so that they can serve as examples for you to refer to when you are learning a new syntax.Two Projects to Consolidate Your LearningThis workbook also includes two projects at the end to help you consolidate your learning. While the individual chapters prior to the projects help you learn one concept at a time, these two projects require the application of multiple concepts covered in previous chapters and allow you to see how everything works together.What this book aims to do...This workbook is written with one goal in mind - to help new programmers overcome their initial obstacles to learning.A lot of times, when new programmers look at code written by other programmers, they tend to feel intimidated as a lot of the code looks complicated to them. A complete program written by other programmers incorporates many different concepts.The goal of this workbook is to isolate the different concepts so that new programmers can gradually gain competency in the fundamentals of the language before working on bigger projects at the end of the book. Programming does not have to be scary or frustrating when you take one step at a time.Ready to start practicing and building your Python skills?

Microcontrollers, like the RP2040 at the heart of Raspberry Pi Pico, are computers stripped back to their bare essentials. You don't use monitors or keyboards with them, but program them over USB to take their input from (and send their output to) their input/output (IO) pins. Using these programmable connections, you can light lights, make noises, send text to screens, and much more. In Get Started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico, you will learn how to use the beginner-friendly language MicroPython to write programs and connect up hardware to make your Raspberry Pi Pico interact with the world around it. Using these skills, you can create your own electro-mechanical projects, whether for fun or to make your life easier. This book shows you how to: Get started with Raspberry Pi Pico Work with various electronic components Create your own programmable electronic contraptions Work with Programming Input and Output (PIO) for low level, timing-critical projects Learn the Raspberry Pi Pico pinouts for hooking up components Use the I2C and SPI protocols to connect to components By the end of the book, you'll know how to create your own programmable electronic contraptions. What you do with them is up to you.

Python spirit is one of the principal agents of Satan, under Leviathan. It has remarkable evil qualities. Given these gruesome qualities which Python, serpents and Cobras possess, there is no way this archenemy of humankind and God can be sympathetic towards his victims. Human messengers of Python spirit look down on everyone and instills fearlessness in his agents everywhere. His covenant with any human being is unto death and always take preeminence in any relationship dictating and giving orders. When Python spirit is programed into the sea of your life, body organs are troubled, swell or shrink in size (Job 26:12, 13). People possessed with Python spirit are never submissive. They make trouble wherever they are until they get to the top to divert divine orders. In times of war, they rule and reign by causing anguish without mercy with the strength of lions, vipers and fiery serpents (Isaiah 30:6; Ecclesiastes 10:8-11). Python spirit monitors God's children who commit errors, break hedges, or disobeys God's commandments in order to bite them without negotiating with God. While Leviathan causes and controls international wars, Python Spirit causes and monitors local wars and brings his victims to untold hardship and painful sufferings with all manner of problem and impossibilities. This book reveals his tricks and weapons of operation and equips every believer with potent tools to counter them.
