This book is intended for education and fun. Python is an amazing, text-based coding language, perfectly suited for children older than the age of 10. The Standard Python library has a module called Turtle which is a popular way to introduce programming to kids. This library enables children to create pictures and shapes by providing them with a virtual canvas. With the Python Turtle library, you can create nice animation projects using images that are taken from the internet, scaled-down stored as a gif-files download to the projects. The book includes 19 basic lessons with examples that introduce to the Python codes through Turtle library which is convenient to the school students of 10+years old. The book has also a lot of projects that show how to make different animations with Turtle graphics: games, applications to math, physics, and science.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
2. CHAPTER
FORTYNINE
DEMO PROJECT - GAME ENGINE FOR 2D GAMES
In this chapter we will learn about using the different programming paradigms in the same project.
We will create a simple Game Engine for 2D Games.
You can use the Engine directly to create 2D Games for Desktop or Mobile.
49.1 Project Layers
The project contains the next layers
• Games Layer (Here we will use declarative programming)
• Game Engine Classes (Here we will use the Object-Oriented Programming paradigm)
• Interface to graphics library (Here we will use procedural programming)
• Graphics Library bindings (Here we have RingAllegro and RingLibSDL)
49.2 Graphics Library bindings
We already have RingAllegro to use the Allegro game programming library and we have RingLibSDL to use the
LibSDL game programming library.
Both of RingAllegro and RingLibSDL are created using the C language with the help of the Ring code generator for
extensions.
Each of them is over 10,000 lines of C code which is generated after writing simple configuration files (That are
processed by the code generator).
Each configuration file determines the functions names, structures information and constants then the generator process
this configuration file to produce the C code and the library that can be loaded from Ring code.
Using RingAllegro and RingLibSDL is very similar to using Allegro and LibSDL from C code where you have the
same functions but we can build on that using the Ring language features
• RingAllegro Source Code : https://github.com/ring-lang/ring/tree/master/extensions/ringallegro
• RingLibSDL Source Code : https://github.com/ring-lang/ring/tree/master/extensions/ringsdl
369
3. Ring Documentation, Release 1.4
49.3 Interface to graphics library
In this layer we have gl_allegro.ring and gl_libsdl.ring
Each library provides the same functions to be used with interacting with the Graphics Library.
This layer hides the details and the difference between RingAllegro and RingLibSDL.
You have the same functions, Just use it and you can switch between Allegro and LibSDL at anytime.
Why ?
Allegro is very simple, we can use it to quickly create 2D games for Windows, Linux and MacOS X.
In Ring 1.0 we started by supporting Allegro.
Also LibSDL is very powerful and popular, very easy to use for Mobile Development.
Ring 1.1 comes with support for LibSDL so we can quickly create games for Mobile.
Note: We can use just one library for Desktop and Mobile development.
• gl_allegro.ring source code : https://github.com/ring-lang/ring/blob/master/ringlibs/gameengine/gl_allegro.ring
• gl_libsdl.ring source code : https://github.com/ring-lang/ring/blob/master/ringlibs/gameengine/gl_libsdl.ring
