This book looks at the use of differential privacy (DP) for protecting personal data by introducing carefully calibrated random numbers, called statistical noise, when the data is used. Google, Apple, and Microsoft have all integrated the technology into their software, and the US Census Bureau used DP to protect data collected in the 2020 census. In this book, Simson Garfinkel presents the underlying ideas of DP, and helps explain why DP is needed in today’s information-rich environment, why it was used as the privacy protection mechanism for the 2020 census, and why it is so controversial in some communities.

This book starts at the beginner level and shows how to use Flutter to create apps.  Kevin Moore shows how to develop a movie app with animations,  a movie API to get the latest movie information, and uses Firebase to store user information. The app connects to the internet, saves data locally, and uses Firebase to handle user accounts and send notifications. Readers will learn how to make the app work on websites and computers, respond to user actions, and add extra features from Flutter's package library. The final steps cover testing, making it run faster, and getting it ready for users to download.
