SciPy is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines. Together, they are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by some of the world's leading scientists and engineers.

Testing in Scala starts with an introduction of the Scala programming language, explains why project infrastructure is critical, and provides compelling reasons to use Scala testing frameworks to not only test Scala code, but Java code too. This book introduces and explains the Simple Build Tool, the Scala answer to Ant, Maven, Gradle, and Buildr. It then explains in detail all the best tools for testing Scala and Java code today--ScalaTest, Specs2, ScalaCheck, and Borachio. Testing in Scala also gives insight on how to integrate coverage tools, continuous integration, web acceptance frameworks, and Java testing frameworks that you already know and love.

Ready to take your Arduino skills to the next level? This book shows you how to build projects with the Propeller, a microcontroller built from the silicon up for prototyping. A multicore architecture and new programming language make the Propeller ideal for artists and hobbyists who are building unique applications—especially projects that generate video and audio.

Yesod harnesses Haskell's flexibility and strong type system to create a rapid but industrial-strength web application environment. Yesod delivers performance, security, and clean RESTful APIs. Readers should already be familiar with Haskell, as this book picks up where Real World Haskell leaves off.

This title will be focused on how to develop unit tested ActionScript (Flex) applications. Readers will learn when/where to apply unit testing as well as how to cover legacy untested code with tests. Unit testing is an important part of any application. We unit test to protect our work, document our code, and code with confidence. There is currently not much consolidated information on the subject for the Actioncript community. This book aims to change that.
