This practical book takes programmers (amateurs and pros alike) on a no- nonsense tour of ES6, along with some related tools and techniques.

Drawing on police wiretaps and interviews, this book reveals the untold narrative of how southeast Queens influenced the rap industry. It explores the lives of notorious drug dealers from the 1980s, such as Lorenzo "Fat Cat” Nichols and Kenneth "Supreme” McGriff, showcasing their impact on hip-hop culture. The story spans twenty-five years, intertwining the violent crack era with key events and figures in rap history, including Tupac Shakur and 50 Cent, providing a unique insight into the roots of gangster culture within hip-hop.

Atheism's prominent figures have typically emerged from secular backgrounds, unlike Jerry DeWitt, who was a Pentecostal preacher before embracing atheism after a 25-year dialogue with faith. In this account of his journey, DeWitt, a respected pastor in DeRidder, Louisiana, began to question his beliefs privately. A pivotal moment occurred in May 2011 when he struggled to find words of comfort for a congregant whose brother had been in a serious accident. This crisis led to the realization that his faith had crumbled. When he publicly declared his atheism, he faced ostracism from the deeply religious community, losing nearly everything familiar. DeWitt's quest for identity and meaning reflects the struggles of millions globally, as agnosticism and atheism gain traction—one in five Americans now identify as non-religious. This moment calls for a new atheist voice that respects faith while embracing a life without religion, discovering profound meaning and hope. DeWitt's narrative illustrates a thoughtful transition to atheism rooted in humanism, emphasizing moral depth, happiness, and self-confidence gained from living free of fear.
