Andrea Stewart

    Andrea Stewart, de Chinees-Amerikaanse dochter van immigranten, groeide op op diverse plaatsen in de Verenigde Staten. Haar ouders legden altijd de nadruk op wetenschap en onderwijs, waardoor ze haar jeugd ondergedompeld doorbracht in Star Trek en bibliotheekboeken met vreemde geuren. Toen haar (eerlijk toegegeven ambitieuze) dromen om een drakenverslagger te worden niet uitkwamen, wendde ze zich in plaats daarvan tot het schrijven van boeken. Ze woont nu in het zonnige Californië en is naast het schrijven ook te vinden met het hoeden van katten, het observeren van vogels en het verdwalen in onderzoekskonijnenholen.

This approach promotes writing clean and expressive JavaScript, making it simpler and more predictable than ever. Discover how to improve your coding practices with clear examples that illustrate how updated syntax can lead to better, more reliable code. Starting from foundational concepts, learn to apply new syntax or repurpose older styles to transform clunky scripts into elegant programs that are easy to read and extend. Establish a solid basis for readable code by using simple variable declarations that limit side effects and subtle bugs. Choose collections with clear objectives rather than relying solely on objects or arrays, and simplify iterations from complex loops to concise array methods. Master techniques for crafting flexible and robust code, including higher-order functions, reusable classes, and architectural patterns for large applications that can withstand refactoring and evolving requirements.

      "One of the best debut fantasy novels of the year." -- BuzzFeed News "An amazing start to a new trilogy." -- Culturess "It grabs you by the heart and the throat from the first pages and doesn't let go." -- Sarah J. Maas The Bone Shard Daughter is an unmissable fantasy debut from a major new voice in epic fantasy -- a stunning tale of magic, mystery, and revolution in which the former heir to the emperor will fight to reclaim her power and her place on the throne. The emperor's reign has lasted for decades, his mastery of bone shard magic powering the animal-like constructs that maintain law and order. But now his rule is failing, and revolution is sweeping across the Empire's many islands. Lin is the emperor's daughter and spends her days trapped in a palace of locked doors and dark secrets. When her father refuses to recognise her as heir to the throne, she vows to prove her worth by mastering the forbidden art of bone shard magic. Yet such power carries a great cost, and when the revolution reaches the gates of the palace, Lin must decide how far she is willing to go to claim her birthright - and save her people.
