Books with author Maurice Thompson

In May 1915, Italy declared war on the Habsburg Empire. Nearly 750,000 Italian troops were killed in savage, hopeless fighting on the stony hills north of Trieste and in the snows of the Dolomites. To maintain discipline, General Luigi Cadorna restored the Roman practice of decimation, executing random members of units that retreated or rebelled.With elegance and pathos, historian Mark Thompson relates the saga of the Italian front, the nationalist frenzy and political intrigues that preceded the conflict, and the towering personalities of the statesmen, generals, and writers drawn into the heart of the chaos. A work of epic scale, The White War does full justice to the brutal and heart-wrenching war that inspired Hemingway's A Farewell to Arms.

Eager to learn Python Programming Quickly?Have you always wanted to learn computer programming but you thought is difficult for you? Or perhaps you know other programming languages but you are interested in learning Python language fast than ever? If the answer to these questions is yes....... ...then, you are in the right place! Code is the language of the future. And the time to learn the ins and outs of coding is now, unless of course you want to be left behind from the biggest revolution that mankind will witness. So what does it take to be one of those who the masses will rely on to create products, change them and do a lot more with technology? Well, the secret is in learning programming languages because every electronic device runs on some sort of programming language. The question then becomes; so which programming language should you at least prioritize to learn given that there are so many programming languages? Well, if for whatever reason, you have been looking to learn programming or perhaps looking to improve your programming skills, Python programming language could be the best option you can get right now. It makes everything so easy! From the rich and well-designed standard library and built-ins to the availability of modules and numerous third-party open source libraries, very few programming languages can beat it. This book is the ultimate guide to python programming for intermediates. It will enable you to learn all that in as little as 7 days.In this second edition of the tutorial, we will cover a range of topics that will help you understand and perform complex Python programming projects. My assumption is that you already know the basics of Python including downloading and installing important Python programs and working with the basic Python functions. Otherwise, you need to revisit the first edition to make sure you are ready to take on intermediate level programming. Let me explain why this book is different... I think that the best way to learn Python (or any other skills) is by doing it. This book includes visual charts that you'll guide you and help you learn those specific codes that you want to learn really fast. And in this way, believe me that you'll have an immense sense of achievement and it’ll also help you retain the knowledge and master the language.Here's what we will talk about in this book: ✓Shallow copy and deep copy✓Objects and classes in Python–including python inheritance, multiple inheritances, and so on✓Recursion in Python✓Debugging and testing✓Fibonacci sequence (definition) and Memoization in Python in Python✓Arguments in Python✓Namespaces in Python and Python Modules✓Simple Python projects for Intermediates If you’ve been thinking seriously about digging into programming, Python Programming: Your Intermediate Guide To Learn Python in 7 Days , will get you up to speed and have you writing real programs fast.
