Books by John Hunt

This textbook assumes very little knowledge of programming so whether you have dabbled with a little JavaScript, played with a bit of Python, written Java or have virtually no programming experience at all you will find that it is for you.The first part of the book introduces Kotlin program structures as well as conditional flow of control features such as if and when expressions as well as iteration loops such as for, while and do-while. Subsequent chapters explain how functions are implemented in Kotlin and introduce concepts from functional programming such as higher order functions and curried functions.The second part focusses on object oriented programming techniques, these include classes, inheritance, abstraction and interfaces. The third part presents container data types such as Arrays, and collections including Lists, Sets and Maps and the fourth part considers concurrency and parallelism using Kotlin coroutines. The book concludes with anintroduction to Android mobile application development using Kotlin.Clear steps are provided explaining how to set up your environment and get started writing your own Kotlin programs.An important aspect of the book is teaching by example and there are many examples presented throughout the chapters. These examples are supported by a public GitHub repository that provides complete working code as well as sample solutions to the chapter exercises. This helps illustrate how to write well structured, clear, idiomatic Kotlin to build real applications.

The West Highland line, from the banks of the Firth of Clyde to Fort William and along the Road to the Isles to the Atlantic fishing port of Mallaig, is one of the most scenic in the UK and, indeed, the world! Add the romance of steam operation and the result is a pictorial odyssey that is arguably second to none.

A Review of Loving Me... I must begin by saying, that Loving Me is quite a difficult book to read and "enjoy." Don't misunderstand me, the writing, the artistry and the poetry in this book is beautiful. The lack of enjoyment came in the story that was being written. As I was reading this book, I had to keep reminding myself that this was not a work of fiction; sadly it is a true story. Vicki Watkins brings us along on her extremely transparent and painful life journey filled with deep pain, neglect, verbal and sexual abuse and heartbreak. It is this journey that makes this story a painful read. However, if you stay with Vicki, and read the entire book, you will come to appreciate and admire her honesty and the long and winding path that she has taken to arrive to the present. You will be introduced to people that came in to her life, like Ann, and her husband Jim that came to Vicki at just the right time, like Esther in the Old Testament, "for a time such as this." There are also people I would like to forget. Finally, as I read Vicki's story, I was reminded of God's incredible Love and Grace and the way in which He always has the last Word. The story Loving Me is an example of how this broken and fallen world labels people as rejects, no good and trash, but the great news, and it is evident in Vicki's life story, is that God recovers, rehabilitates and refines us and lovingly claims us as His Priceless Treasure! Isaiah 61:3 - "God will give a crown of beauty for ashes..." Loving Me is a long journey of pain and abuse, but it is also a story that needs to be read. You may find yourself in some of the pages, or even someone you know. You will have a greater idea of the impact that neglect, abuse and pain plays in someone's life. You will also discover the value in having great Counselors in your life like LifeWay Counseling and Sandy M. The other thing you will find is the Love of God in the midst of the long journey, while she was in search of pe

This book was originally written to support an introductory course in Object Orientation through the medium of Smalltalk (and VisualWorks in particular). For example, if the reader wishes to hone their Smalltalk skills then the chapters in Part 4 would be useful.
