The role of a software engineer goes well beyond writing code. In many companies, large or small, engineers often need to understand unfamiliar business rules, and then coordinate with multiple groups to ship software within a tight schedule. Although the skills required to perform this job effectively can be hidden within one's years of experience, learning from mistakes, peer guidance, and available resources, are critical to success. This book summarizes the skills and practices effective engineers should leverage to excel at their job. A chapter is dedicated to each of the four main pillars that form a successful engineering career: Self-Management, Technical Discipline, Risk Management, and Strategic Teamwork. Topics covered within each pillar include insights and tips on how to enhance your career simply by making small changes in the way you work. For mid-level engineers looking to make the jump to senior roles, as well as experienced engineers and managers who are looking to bolster their careers.

This book provides some resources of Artificial Life. Artificial Life (ALife or A-Life) is the research area which simulates a life computationally. It involves several approaches to living systems in artificial manners. It was recognized as a scientific field in the 1980's. Artificial Life is related to many scientific fields including biology and computer science, and its history is old. In fact, the earlier works have been done by people like Turing and von Neumann. Fields like that neural networks, evolutionary computation, and cellular automaton constitute the foundations for Artificial Life. The so-called wet ware is an approach in more biology-oriented, which is known that there are some Artificial Life Systems at present. It is expected to see further progresses of this exciting field. The materials include: history, philosophy, related areas, recent developments, etc. Starting from the overview, the authors give an exposition of basic subjects like cellular automaton, neural networks, evolutionary computation, and wet ware. The authors also introduce some examples of Artificial Life Systems like Boids, Tierra, and Open Warm.

Delve into the nuances of photo and video editing with Metal, a framework from Next Generation GPU APIs. Right now, the demand for media editors is growing exponentially, with multiple applications needing some form of image processing, including messengers, social networks, marketplace, and banking applications. This book provides detailed guidelines for reimplementation instruments from one of the more popular photo and video editors. Metal is a low-level, unified, and low-overhead application programming interface (API) developed by Apple for utilizing the graphics processing unit (GPU). It provides near-direct access to the GPU, allowing for efficient rendering, parallel processing, and optimized use of the GPU’s power. It is particularly suited for 3D graphics, data-parallel computation, gaming, video processing, Machine Learning, and image/video rendering applications. For intermediate Swift developers interested in photo and video editing or diving deeper into understanding how GPU media processing works. You should have a basic knowledge of C++ or C, but it’s not essential. However, you must use the Metal Shader Language in the GPU shader functions, which is based on C++.
