And the subtitle of Dancing with Python will be …
Almost two weeks ago, I put up a poll on LinkedIn asking for opinions on what should be the subtitle of my next book, Dancing with Python. Here are the poll results: The choices were: Learn to code using traditional and quantum computing techniques A unified introduction to classical and quantum Python software development Learn…
Poll on the subtitle of my next book, Dancing with Python
Packt will be publishing my next book, Dancing with Python, sometime around early September. From the draft preface: Once you have the philosophy, syntax, structure, and idioms of the classical programming language understood, you then learn quantum computing on top of that. For example, you could use the Qiskit open-source quantum computing software development kit…
My Visual Studio Code configuration
People occasionally ask me about the tools I use for writing and coding. Visual Studio Code is my editor of choice, and it’s the best I’ve ever used. I change visual themes every few months to see if there is one I like better than the last. My current theme is Dark+ Material. I use…
The Amazon Kindle version of Dancing with Qubits is now available!
I’m pleased to announce that the Amazon Kindle version of my quantum computing book Dancing with Qubits is now available! This book provides a comfortable and conversational introduction to quantum computing. I take you through the mathematics you need at a pace that allows you to understand not just “what” but also “why.” When we…
Some practical things you can do to learn about quantum computing
People often ask me “Where should I get started in order to learn about quantum computing?”. Here are several steps you can take. I work for IBM, so things I link to will often be to the IBM Quantum program. Also, I acknowledge that several of the links and videos toward the beginning involve me,…
Dancing With Qubits, First Edition: What about the eBook?
Yesterday was very exciting because I received my first printed copy of the book. There’s just something about holding a physical, printed book that you’ve labored over for many months. Others are starting to get their copies too, and I hope that within a couple of weeks everyone who pre-ordered the print version will have…
My Visual Studio Code extensions for LaTeX and Python
I’m in the final stages of writing a book about quantum computing using LaTeX and I also do a lot of Python programming when I get a chance. A couple of years ago, I decided to try using the Visual Studio Code editor and I just love it. I’ve used dozens of programming editors in…
