Today's software applications need more than a friendly interface and correct algorithms. They also need to be responsible: to be beneficial for society and not cause harm. In an era of AI chatbots, deep fake images and videos, social media bubbles, expanding privacy regulations, and a rapidly warming planet, it's more important than ever to practice responsible software engineering so your products earn your users' trust and deserve it. Responsible Software Engineering can help you build better applications that are more ready for real-world situations: Treating people more fairly, regardless of their beliefs, culture, skin tone, and other attributes Operating more safely, to reduce the risk of physical, psychological, or financial harm Better protecting people's privacy, particularly when collecting personal information Incorporating wisdom from the social sciences, law, ethics, and other fields that many engineers may be unfamiliar with Reducing emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), to address the risks of climate change Join Daniel J. Barrett, a senior manager at Google and long-time software engineer, to dive into these issues and more, including real-world, large-scale case studies. You'll receive expert advice on how to anticipate the effects of your application on the world and its inhabitants, so you can have more confidence that your products "do the right thing."

A shootout with terrorists at Orlando International Airport, killing one police officer and wounding two others, thrusts US Coast Guard Lieutenant Joe Traynor and his team of highly skilled experts into the middle of another dangerous investigation. Once the terrorist leader is identified, Joe suspects that he not only had something to do with the Boston Marathon bombing, but that he came to Orlando with the intent of executing another 9/11. In an area rich with prime targets, both military and civilian, Joe's team has to both find the suspect and identify where he will strike-and they're running out of time.

It's just another day in paradise for US Coast Guard Lieutenant Joe Traynor, stationed in the Florida Keys...until he gets a call from his boss, Rear Admiral Jake Barnes. Barnes suspects that some Coast Guard members in Miami have been selling seized cocaine back to the Colombians, and Joe and his team are called in to investigate. But as Joe leaves the rear admiral's office, he runs into an ambush, at the same time that his second in command is shot and nearly killed. It seems that members of the US Coast Guard Seventh District are selling more than cocaine to the drug cartels. They're also selling information obtained from bugging the Coast Guard offices. How deep does it go, who is involved, and how are they getting away with it when audits of the warehouse where the drugs are stored show nothing is missing? Joe needs to find out-and fast-before any more top personnel and their families are threatened, including his own fianc e, Julie. However, keeping Julie safe while she negotiates a movie deal for her new book with Walt Disney Studios, outsmarting drug lords and their minions, and tracking down missing fifteen-year-old girls who have been sold into the human trafficking network are all in a day's work for Joe and his team of special investigators...if they can just survive long enough.

Retired Chief Petty Officer Tom Jones was murdered in his apartment complex in Orlando in what appeared to be a "drug deal gone bad." The police won't even do an autopsy on a dead drug dealer. Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer Joe Traynor is asked by Tom's daughter to look into his death. His investigation ultimately leads to the largest meth case on the southeastern seaboard. In the meantime, the Russian Mafia, unhappy with being ripped off by Julie Chapman's father, seek revenge. Her father's death, once again comes back to haunt her and her grandmother, Tillie, placing their lives-and Joe's-in danger once again.

Julie Chapman grew up in Key Largo, a tenth-generation Conch, raised in the Florida Keys by her grandmother, Tillie, since Julie's parents were deceased. Then one night Tillie has a car accident and ends up in a coma, leaving Julie and her best friend Joe to wonder if it really was an accident. As Julie and Joe start digging for the truth, they uncover some dark and desperate secrets that can not only cause them a good deal of trouble, but also cost them their lives.

Fired at age fifty, dumped by his wife and grown, college-age children--his wife moved her lover, a UPS deliveryman, into the house as soon as Jack left--Jack Manning is humbled beyond words. Six months later, he's down and out, living in a rented room in the Burgh, cooking meals for his eighty-year-old landlady, while walking to work at the corner convenience store. No car. The only job he could get was for $12.00 an hour for the night shift, six days a week.He bought a Powerball ticket, using the birthdays of all the people who hated him, woke up, turned on the news, and found out that he'd split 990 million dollars with two others across the country. Taking a cash payout, he would net $198 million. What would he do now that he was rich with no support payments or any family who cared about him? He was sure he would make a lot of friends real soon. But, like a lot of folks, he'd divvied up his winnings a long time ago in his daydreams when he was bored. This could be very interesting. Maybe he could right some wrongs, change lives, payback through kindness not revenge, help those who want to help themselves. Will it work? Will a lot of money make a difference? Maybe...
