Book excerpt: The Ability Hacks is the story of two Microsoft hackathon teams, one in the summer of 2014 and one the following summer of 2015. The first would pioneer new software to revolutionize the mobility of tens of thousands of people who live with severe paralysis caused by ALS, Parkinson's, cerebral palsy and traumatic neurological injuries. The second team would pioneer software to help kids with dyslexia read and love learning for the first time in their lives. This is the story of two small groups of driven, focused and passionate software engineers, program managers, marketers and advocates. It's the story of realizing the transformative power of technology for people with disabilities, not just for traditional consumer and industrial markets. It's the story of doing something truly great -- improving outcomes for everyone, discovering a design ethos and blazing a new trail for accessibility. Read more:More than one billion people around the world live with a disability of some kind, and it's estimated two-thirds of us know someone with a disability. Almost everyone will be temporarily or permanently impaired at some point in life, and those who survive to old age will experience increasing difficulties in functioning, according to the World Health Organization. This book explores an optimistic belief that computer software and hardware can empower people with disabilities in a multitude of scenarios. As one engineer interviewed for The Ability Hacks said, "It's not about the technology. It's about the people."

Book excerpt: Targeted to gamers between the ages of eight and twelve, this full-color, unofficial, ninety-six-page strategy guide will cover the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC editions of Blizzard Entertainment’s mega-popular game Overwatch: Game of the Year Edition. Each section of the book will feature detailed, yet easy-to-understand tips and strategies, along with screenshots that will help readers quickly master the game when experiencing the Competitive Play (multiplayer) mode. Overwatch Hacks will offer details about each of the game’s 26 core heroes, and describe each hero’s unique strengths, weaknesses, abilities, and ultimate abilities. Since Overwatch is all about multi-player team play, an emphasis on what each hero’s abilities are best suited for—related to offense, defense, tank, or support—will be covered, as will how a player should adapt their overall gameplay strategy based on which hero they choose to control, and what role they’ll be playing as a member of their team. This game is very much about team collaboration, communication, and coordination, and the tips and strategies outlined in this book will focus heavily on these elements of the game. Readers will also discover what they need to know about the maps and locations where battles occur, and learn how to adapt their strategy based on their location within the game in order to complete location-specific objectives. Finally, this guide will offer tips for best utilizing customization options and loot. Whether a gamer is playing with AI controlled team members, random online players, or their best friends, the reader will go into each battle and adventure with the knowledge and strategies needed to achieve victory. As a team-based shooter set in the near future, Overwatch was one of the fastest games in history to attract more than 30 million active players. It continues to win awards and be among the most popular multiplayer games available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC platforms.

Book excerpt: TiVo Hacks helps you get the most out of your TiVo personal video recorder. Armed with just a screwdriver and basic understanding of PC hardware (or willingness to learn), preeminent hackability awaits. This book includes hacks for changing the order of recorded programs, activating the 30-second skip to blaze through commercials, upgrading TiVo's hard drive for more hours of recording, use of TiVo's Home Media Option to remotely schedule a recording via the Web, log in to the serial port for command-line access to programming data, log files, closed-captioning data, display graphics on the TiVo screen, and even play MP3s.Readers who use advanced hacks to put TiVo on their home network via the serial port, Ethernet, USB, or wireless (with 802.11b WiFi) will watch a whole new world open up. By installing various open source software packages, you can use TiVo for mail, instant messaging, caller-ID, and more. It's also easy to run a web server on TiVo to schedule recordings, access lists of recorded shows, and even display them on a web site. While TiVo gives viewers personalized control of their TVs, TiVo Hacks gives users personalized control of TiVo.Note: Not all TiVos are the same. The original TiVo, the Series 1, is the most hackable TiVo out there; it's a box thrown together with commodity parts and the TiVo code is running on open hardware. The Series 2 TiVo, the most commonly sold TiVo today, is not open. You won't see hacks in this book that involve modifying Series 2 software.

Book excerpt: It’s no secret that college doesn’t prepare students for the real world. Student loan debt recently eclipsed credit card debt for the first time in history and now tops one trillion dollars. And the throngs of unemployed graduates chasing the same jobs makes us wonder whether there’s a better way to “make it” in today’s marketplace. There is—and Dale Stephens is proof of that. In Hacking Your Education, Stephens speaks to a new culture of “hackademics” who think college diplomas are antiquated. Stephens shows how he and dozens of others have hacked their education, and how you can, too. You don’t need to be a genius or especially motivated to succeed outside school. The real requirements are much simpler: curiosity, confidence, and grit. Hacking Your Education offers valuable advice to current students as well as those who decided to skip college. Stephens teaches you to create opportunities for yourself and design your curriculum—inside or outside the classroom. Whether your dream is to travel the world, build a startup, or climb the corporate ladder, Stephens proves you can do it now, rather than waiting for life to start after “graduation” day.
