The Naked Blogger of Cairo

Creative Insurgency in the Arab World

By: Marwan M. Kraidy

A Times Higher Education Book of the Year Uprisings spread like wildfire across the Arab world from 2010 to 2012, fueled by a desire for popular sovereignty. In Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, and elsewhere, protesters flooded the streets and the media, voicing dissent through slogans, graffiti, puppetry, videos, and satire that called for the overthrow of dictators and the regimes that sustained them. Investigating what drives people to risk everything to express themselves in rebellious art, The Naked Blogger of Cairo uncovers the creative insurgency at the heart of the Arab uprisings. “A deep dive into the cultural politics of the Arab uprisings...Kraidy’s sharp insights and rich descriptions of a new Arab generation’s irrepressible creative urges will amply reward the effort. Reading Kraidy’s accounts of the politically charted cultural gambits of wired Arab youth rekindles some of the seemingly lost spirit of the early days of the Arab uprisings and offers hope for the future.” —Marc Lynch, Washington Post “The Naked Blogger of Cairo is a superb and important work not just for scholars but for anyone who cares about the relationships between art, the body, and revolution.” —Hans Rollman, PopMatters

MicroPython Cookbook

Over 110 practical recipes for programming embedded systems and microcontrollers with Python

By: Marwan Alsabbagh

Learn how you can control LEDs, make music, and read sensor data using popular microcontrollers such as Adafruit Circuit Playground, ESP8266, and the BBC micro:bit Key FeaturesLoad and execute your first program with MicroPythonProgram an IoT device to retrieve weather data using a RESTful APIGet to grips with integrating hardware, programming, and networking concepts with MicroPythonBook Description MicroPython is an open source implementation of Python 3 that runs in embedded environments. With MicroPython, you can write clean and simple Python code to control hardware instead of using complex low-level languages like C and C++. This book guides you through all the major applications of the MicroPython platform to build and program projects that use microcontrollers. The MicroPython book covers recipes that’ll help you experiment with the programming environment and hardware programmed in MicroPython. You’ll find tips and techniques for building a variety of objects and prototypes that can sense and respond to touch, sound, position, heat, and light. This book will take you through the uses of MicroPython with a variety of popular input devices and sensors. You’ll learn techniques for handling time delays and sensor readings, and apply advanced coding techniques to create complex projects. As you advance, you’ll get to deal with Internet of Things (IoT) devices and integration with other online web services. Furthermore, you'll also use MicroPython to make music with bananas and create portable multiplayer video games that incorporate sound and light animations into the game play. By the end of the book, you'll have mastered tips and tricks to troubleshoot your development problems and push your MicroPython project to the next level! What you will learnExecute code without any need for compiling or uploading using REPL (read-evaluate-print-loop)Program and control LED matrix and NeoPixel drivers to display patterns and colorsBuild projects that make use of light, temperature, and touch sensorsConfigure devices to create Wi-Fi access points and use network modules to scan and connect to existing networksUse Pulse Width Modulation to control DC motors and servosBuild an IoT device to display live weather data from the Internet at the touch of a buttonWho this book is for If you want to build and program projects that use microcontrollers, this book will offer you dozens of recipes to guide you through all the major applications of the MicroPython platform. Although no knowledge of MicroPython or microcontrollers is expected, a general understanding of Python is necessary to get started with this book.

Build Your Own Robot

Using Python, CRICKIT, and Raspberry PI

By: Marwan Alsabbagh

A DIY guide to bringing your first robot to life with cheap and basic components. Build Your Own Robot introduces you to the exciting world of robotics in a way that’s fun and affordable! You’ll build your own real robot with easy-to-find hardware and free open source software. Plus, all the components you need can be assembled with simple tools like a screwdriver. In Build Your Own Robot you’ll learn how to: Use cameras to capture photos and let your robot see Add cameras and basic computer vision Coordinate DC motors to move your robot Write a web app to control your robot Set up controls for joysticks Read QR codes to find and identify objects This book shows you how anyone can start building their own robot—no special soldering or electronic skills required. All you need is some basic Python know-how to get started. From scratch, you’ll go hands-on with DC motors, touch sensors, custom shell scripting, joystick controls, and even face detection for your robot friend. About the technology You can build your own robot! With this book, you’ll use readily-available hardware and author Marwan Alsabbagh’s clear step-by-step instructions to create a robot that moves, manipulates objects, and responds to its environment. Along the way, you’ll learn some serious skills like computer vision, networking, and the basics of robotics programming. About the book Build Your Own Robot is a project-based guide that takes you from spinning your first DC motor to programming a mobile robot that you can control from your phone or computer. You’ll write simple Python code to help your new friend spin, move, and find its way. You’ll even teach it to track faces and fetch snacks. Plus, a helpful hardware purchasing guide makes it easy to find exactly what you need to get started! What's inside Coordinate DC motors to move your robot Write a web app to control your robot Adding cameras and basic computer vision Read QR codes to find and identify objects About the reader Examples use simple Python code. No special skills or expensive tools required. About the author Marwan Alsabbagh is a seasoned software developer, who has studied mathematics and computer science at McGill University. The technical editor on this book was Alexander Ryker.
