My Fair Lady meets the classic teen film She's All That in this charming and swoony new rom-com from Brian D. Kenendy, author of A Little Bit Country. Perfect for fans of What If It's Us and She Gets the Girl. Wade Westmore is used to being in the spotlight. So when he's passed over for the lead in the spring musical, it comes as a major blow--especially when the role goes to his ex-boyfriend, Reese, who dumped him for being too self-involved. Shy sophomore Elijah Brady is used to being overlooked. Forget not knowing his name--most of his classmates don't even know he exists. So when he joins the stage crew for the musical, he seems destined to blend into the scenery. When the two have a disastrous backstage run-in, Elijah proposes an arrangement that could solve both boys' problems: If Wade teaches Elijah how to be popular, Wade can prove that he cares about more than just himself. Seeing a chance to win Reese back, Wade dives headfirst into helping Elijah become the new and improved "Brady." Soon their plan puts Brady center stage--and he's a surprising smash hit. So why is Wade suddenly less worried about winning over his ex and more worried about losing Elijah?

But for now, he's happy to do the next best thing: Stay with his aunt in Jackson Hollow, Tennessee, for the summer and perform at the amusement park owned by his idol, country legend Wanda Jean Stubbs.Luke Barnes hates country music.

Complete with historical photographs, author’s note, chronology of events, research, and sources.

The Ultimate Go Notebook is the official companion book for the Ardan Labs Ultimate Go class. With this book, you will learn how to write more idiomatic and performant code with a focus on micro-level engineering decisions. This notebook has been designed to provide a reference to everything mentioned in class, as if they were your own personal notes.Our classes challenge every student to think about what they are doing and why and so does this book. The first chapter helps you prepare your mind by establishing the mental models and design philosophy for the material you are about to review. You will learn about the mechanics and semantics behind types, decoupling, error handling, concurrency, and more. GENERICS! Learn about the new syntax coming to Go 1.18 for writing generic functions and types. Four chapters on profiling, tracing, and stack traces help you learn critical debugging skills that will make you a more productive Go developer. The last chapter features the many blog posts that are referenced throughout the book.If you have taken the class before, this notebook will be an invaluable resource for reminders on the content. If you have never taken the class, there is still tremendous value in this book as it covers more advanced topics not found in other books today.“If you want to be a better Go developer, code reviewer, designer and architect, this is the book you want.”When coming from another language, developers often struggle to grasp the fundamentals that make Go useful and unique. This book builds layers of foundational knowledge that will give you a deeper understanding into data semantics, decoupling, concurrency and tooling that is provided with the language.

Many of the normal concerns faced by application developers are amplified by the challenges of web-scale concurrency, real-time performance expectations, multi-core support, and efficiently consuming services without constantly managing I/O blocks. Although it's possible to solve most of these issues with existing languages and frameworks, Go is designed to handle them right out of the box, making for a more natural and productive coding experience. Developed at Google for its own internal use, Go now powers dozens of nimble startups, along with name brands like Canonical, Heroku, SoundCloud, and Mozilla, who rely on highly performant services for their infrastructure. Go in Action introduces the unique features and concepts of the Go language, guiding readers from inquisitive developers to Go gurus. It provides hands-on experience with writing real-world applications including web sites and network servers, as well as techniques to manipulate and convert data at incredibly high speeds. It also goes in-depth with the language and explains the tricks and secrets that the Go masters are using to make their applications perform. For example, it looks at Go's powerful reflection libraries and uses real-world examples of integration with C code. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

A wide-ranging tour of the field, from its beginnings in nuclear physics to the discovery of quarks to present-day research into string theory, the mystery of antimatter, and the search for the elusive God particle.

Der berühmte Spieler Billy Phelan hat sich in den schummrigen Bars und Vergnügungsetablissements der von der großen Depression heimgesuchten Stadt Albany in der Halbwelt von Gangstern und Stadtstreichern,von korrupten Politikern und Glücksrittern seine Unabhängigkeit bewahrt.Als jedoch ein Sohn der zwielichtigen Brüder Mc Call von Kidnappern entführt wird,gerät Billy zwischen die Räder der politischen Maschinerie:Von den Mc Calls erpreßt,ein ungeschriebenes Gesetz zu brechen und einen Freund zu bespitzeln,steht er vor der schicksalhaften Entscheidung zwischen Verrat und Selbstaufgabe auf der einen,Ächtung und einsamer Freiheit auf der anderen Seite.Während die Entführungsaffäre einem dramatischen Höhepunkt zustrebt,riskiert Billy den höchsten Einsatz seines Lebens.

The Flaming Corsage begins in a Manhattan hotel room, where a dramatic incident involving two women and a man escalates into what the tabloids label "The Love Nest Killings of 1908." The central mystery unfolds through the lives of Katrina Taylor and Edward Daugherty. Edward, a first-generation Irish American, aspires to be a playwright, while Katrina, a beautiful and complex Protestant woman, grapples with her feelings about love and mortality. Their passionate connection is marked by Edward's straightforward affection and Katrina's hesitance, influenced by her belief that love is intertwined with death, echoing Baudelaire's sentiments. The narrative shifts between 1884 and 1912, exploring how their lives intertwine with those of others, including their conflicting families, Katrina's lover Francis Phelan, Edward's flirtatious actress Melissa Spencer, the exuberant physician Giles Fitzroy and his wife Felicity, and the cynical journalist Thomas Maginn. A pivotal event, a devastating hotel fire that strikes close to Katrina's family, transforms their relationship into something profoundly different. With masterful storytelling, the author weaves a rich tapestry of interconnected lives, revealing how external forces shape the destinies of Katrina and Edward.
