Christopher Muller, who has held a chair in fine art photography at Folkwang University since 2009, has been one of the most unusual protagonists of the photography scene in the Rhineland since the mid/late 1990s. Having been awarded art prizes, for instance, by the Kunstfonds Bonn in 1995 and the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation in 2004, the artist, who grew up in London, trained at Camberwell College of Arts & Craft and the Slade School of Fine Art in London, and finally graduated from the Kunstakademie in D sseldorf, made his mark on the scene. He has always had a different approach from that of his colleagues. His background is in still life, and it was precisely within this field that he caused a sensation in the 1990s with his serial-like photographs of objects. His recent series of photographic collages, as well as his noticeably expanding use of watercolor techniques, address the relationship between things just as much as our view of them. The images clearly show that the viewers are involved in a complex web of feelings, likes and dislikes, which are in turn also determined by their expectations and actions in everyday life.

Develop UI-heavy applications more easily, faster, and error-free. Based on several enhancements to the Swift language, SwiftUI takes a declarative approach to building UIs. Instead of imperatively coding the UI, this book will show you how to describe how you want your UI to look. SwiftUI treats the UI as a function of its state, thereby making managing your app’s state a lot easier. Change the underlying data model to redraw all parts of the UI that are connected to that particular slice of data. Likewise, easily update the underlying data model from the UI elements your data model is connected to. Combine is Apple’s Functional Reactive Programming framework. It complements SwiftUI and other frameworks, such as the networking APIs, in a natural way. Using Combine, you can subscribe to events and describe data processing in a way that is free of side effects. This allows for an easier implementation of event-driven applications. Using SwiftUI and Combine build moreerror-free apps in a shorter amount of time, targeting all of Apple’s platforms (iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS, tvOS) with little to no overhead. By the end of the book you will have a solid understanding for architecting and implementing UI-heavy apps in a declarative and functional reactive way using SwiftUI, Combine, and async/await. You will: - Build simple and gradually more complex UIs in SwiftUI - Understand SwiftUI’s state management system - Work with Combine and Swift’s new async/await APIs to access the network and access other asynchronous APIs - Architect and structure modern applications on Apple platforms using SwiftUI, Combine, and async/await

The aim of this book is to highlight the basic pedagogical knowledge and values in Danish educational daycare institutions (kindergartens). In the book we present a selection of current research and development projects covering central issues of the pedagogical work in Danish early childhood education. We present the knowledge, experience and values from the early childhood education tradition in Denmark to an international audience. The articles are written by researchers and educators from the Professional Bachelor Program of pedagogues at university colleges’ in Denmark and by researchers from Danish universities.
