Interactive Computational Geometry in Python, is now released. Click on the link
in the sidebar for information and preview chapters. This book is an updated and
expanded version of our popular “Interactive Computational Geometry - a
taxonomic approach” ported from Mathematica to Python. It has some very useful
extra material and greatly improved demonstrations and text. If you are not an
experienced Mathematica programmer, you will find the Python code is much easier
to undestand. In fact, when we made the port, we were delighted by just how
simple and elegant the Python code turned out to be. We will no longer update
the Mathematica version (although it will always remain available) and we
consider “Interactive Computational Geometry in Python” to now be the definitive
version of the text. Python is a great language for this sort of thing, and we
hope and expect that moving to Python will make the book accessible to a much
wider audience. We are very excited about this book! We have developed a
complete process, including software, for creating long-form texts as
interactive Jupyter notebooks and this book is the first result of our efforts.
If you need help writing your own book in Jupyter, or just need help working
with notebooks, please contact us for training and consultancy. Books Jim and
Ila are authors of several best selling books on UML, BPMN and Model Driven
Architecture. Our latest modeling book is “Secrets of Analysis”. This describes
an approach to object oriented analysis called Generative Analysis. It tells you
how to take unstructured, informal information, and, through a well-defined
process of transformation, produce precise, structured information and
ultimately UML models. If you ever wanted to learn the secrets of how experts
perform great analysis and produce great UML analysis models, then this book is
for you! We expect it will help re-establish OOA as a key discipline for the UML
modeller/Business Analyst. Fed up with semantically weak user stories? Want to
put some rigour back into your analysis process? This is the answer. Also be
sure to check out our “Introduction to BPMN 2”. We believe that this is the
first interactive modeling textbook ever produced. It is an enhanced ebook with
animations and interactive figures for the iPad and Mac. Animations show you
precisely how the various BPMN modeling element work. The interactive edition is
available in Apple iBook Store. It is also available in a non interactive PDF
version for all other readers from Amazon. Bespoke technical authoring We can
help you author interactive texts in: - Apple iBooks - Jupyter - Wolfram
Language Future books More or less as a hobby, Jim has been writing an
interactive textbook on mathematics, music and musical set theory. There is a
Wolfram Language version (which is rally just a scatch pad) and a version in
Jupyter that will be published when Jim gets around to finishing it. If you are
interested in these topics, contact us for details. Training courses
Universities - we offer all of our training materials free to universities. All
we ask in rerturn is that if there is a book associated with the materials, it
is recommended as a course book. Commercial organizations - all of our training
courses are available for delivery or licensing. Contact us for details. We
offer: - UML 2 and the Unified Process (of course!) - Introduction to BPMN 2 -
Miscellaneous OOAD/MDA/Metadata Management courses - Bespoke courses: if it is
anything to do with modelling or UML we can do it! - Any of the advanced topics
from “Secrets of Analysis" We have had very many satisfied clients including, JP
Morgan, British Airways, Vodafone, AVIVA etc. etc.
