Seller: Macmillan

In User Friendly , Cliff Kuang and Robert Fabricant reveal the untold story of a paradigm that quietly rules our modern lives: the assumption that machines should anticipate what we need. Spanning over a century of sweeping changes, from women’s rights to the Great Depression to World War II to the rise of the digital era, this book unpacks the ways in which the world has been—and continues to be—remade according to the principles of the once-obscure discipline of user-experience design. In this essential text, Kuang and Fabricant map the hidden rules of the designed world and shed light on how those rules have caused our world to change—an underappreciated but essential history that’s pieced together for the first time. Combining the expertise and insight of a leading journalist and a pioneering designer, User Friendly provides a definitive, thoughtful, and practical perspective on a topic that has rapidly gone from arcane to urgent to inescapable. In User Friendly , Kuang and Fabricant tell the whole story for the first time—and you’ll never interact with technology the same way again.

Le terminal fait peur. Au mieux, c’est une application à ouvrir de temps en temps pour y coller des commandes trouvées sur internet, qui resteront largement incomprises. Au pire, et c’est peut-être votre avis, c’est une relique du passé qui n’a plus de raison d’être. Il y a des raisons objectives d’en avoir peur. Une mauvaise commande et vous pourriez endommager de manière irrémédiable votre système et vos données. Mais si le terminal est dangereux, c’est aussi parce qu’il est extrêmement puissant. Utiliser du texte pour contrôler un ordinateur équipé d’un écran Retina ? Voilà qui semble absurde ! Pourtant, cette interface textuelle a encore une place aujourd’hui, même si vous utilisez un Mac. Vous pourrez mener à bien certaines tâches avec le terminal qui auraient été impossibles avec l’interface graphique. Et d’autres sont bien plus faciles et rapides à terminer quand on connait les bonnes commandes.  Ce livre se destine d’abord aux débutants curieux, ceux qui n’ont jamais osé utiliser le terminal, ni mêle l’ouvrir. Nous verrons ensemble les bases, de la prise en main de l’application Terminal aux commandes essentielles pour vous déplacer dans les dossiers et pour gérer les fichiers. Les bases posées, nous verrons comment installer des outils additionnels et les utiliser dans quelques cas concrets. Bonne lecture !



Eric Evans - Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software artwork Domain-Driven Design: Tackling Complexity in the Heart of Software
Eric Evans
Genre: Software
Price: $54.99
Publish Date: August 22, 2003
Publisher: Pearson Education
Seller: Pearson Education Inc.

“Eric Evans has written a fantastic book on how you can make the design of your software match your mental model of the problem domain you are addressing. “His book is very compatible with XP. It is not about drawing pictures of a domain; it is about how you think of it, the language you use to talk about it, and how you organize your software to reflect your improving understanding of it. Eric thinks that learning about your problem domain is as likely to happen at the end of your project as at the beginning, and so refactoring is a big part of his technique. “The book is a fun read. Eric has lots of interesting stories, and he has a way with words. I see this book as essential reading for software developers—it is a future classic.”      — Ralph Johnson , author of Design Patterns “If you don’t think you are getting value from your investment in object-oriented programming, this book will tell you what you’ve forgotten to do. “Eric Evans convincingly argues for the importance of domain modeling as the central focus of development and provides a solid framework and set of techniques for accomplishing it. This is timeless wisdom, and will hold up long after the methodologies du jour have gone out of fashion.”      — Dave Collins , author of Designing Object-Oriented User Interfaces “Eric weaves real-world experience modeling—and building—business applications into a practical, useful book. Written from the perspective of a trusted practitioner, Eric’s descriptions of ubiquitous language, the benefits of sharing models with users, object life-cycle management, logical and physical application structuring, and the process and results of deep refactoring are major contributions to our field.”      — Luke Hohmann , author of Beyond Software Architecture "This book belongs on the shelf of every thoughtful software developer." --Kent Beck "What Eric has managed to capture is a part of the design process that experienced object designers have always used, but that we have been singularly unsuccessful as a group in conveying to the rest of the industry. We've given away bits and pieces of this knowledge...but we've never organized and systematized the principles of building domain logic. This book is important." --Kyle Brown, author of Enterprise Java™ Programming with IBM® WebSphere® The software development community widely acknowledges that domain modeling is central to software design. Through domain models, software developers are able to express rich functionality and translate it into a software implementation that truly serves the needs of its users. But despite its obvious importance, there are few practical resources that explain how to incorporate effective domain modeling into the software development process. Domain-Driven Design fills that need. This is not a book about specific technologies. It offers readers a systematic approach to domain-driven design, presenting an extensive set of design best practices, experience-based techniques, and fundamental principles that facilitate the development of software projects facing complex domains. Intertwining design and development practice, this book incorporates numerous examples based on actual projects to illustrate the application of domain-driven design to real-world software development. Readers learn how to use a domain model to make a complex development effort more focused and dynamic. A core of best practices and standard patterns provides a common language for the development team. A shift in emphasis--refactoring not just the code but the model underlying the code--in combination with the frequent

Apprenez à espionner, analyser et manipuler les gens sur Internet. Comme un véritable espion. Le web est devenu un gigantesque annuaire que chacun s’obstine à mettre à jour en y publiant ses photos,  ses humeurs et ses opinions. Malheureusement, la confidentialité sur le web c’est comme l’écologie : tout le monde sait que c’est important, tout le monde y pense, mais personne ne fait d’efforts. Au lieu de rabâcher une énième fois les bonnes pratiques de confidentialité sur Internet, l’auteur a pris le parti de vous expliquer comment exploiter la négligence des gens qui utilisent Internet . Comme le disait Napoléon : « la meilleure défense, c’est l’attaque ». Vous apprendrez à exploiter des failles techniques et des failles humaines dans l'optique de manipuler, de pister et d’espionner vos cibles à la manière d’un détective privé . Un chapitre entier est dédiéà la manipulation mentale sur Internet. — Voila pourquoi 95% des gens sont des victimes sur Internet — Tout le monde possède un ordinateur mais 95% des gens subissent Internet plus qu’ils ne le maîtrisent. Ce livre s'adresse à vous si vous avez vécu l’une de ces situations récemment : - Vous commencez dans une nouvelle entreprise (ou une nouvelle école) et vous avez du mal à casser la glace avec vos nouveaux collègues, vous manquez de sujets de discussion ? - Vous êtes très actif sur Internet (sites de rencontres, réseaux sociaux, sites ou forums) et vous aimeriez des techniques efficaces pour analyser les gens, connaître leur identité réelle et détecter les menteurs ? - Vous avez l’habitude d’analyser les gens dans la vie réelle mais malheureusement sur Internet, vous ne savez pas comment vous y prendre ? - On vous rabâche sans cesse de faire attention à votre « vie privée en ligne » mais vous ne comprenez pas où est le problème (rassurez-vous : ceux qui vous font la leçon ne savent pas non plus) ? - Vous êtes souvent amené à vouloir influencer , convaincre ou manipuler vos interlocuteurs par e-mail ou tchat, mais vous ne connaissez aucune technique propre au monde d’Internet ? - Une personne louche rentre en contact avec vous par téléphone, SMS, e-mail ou Facebook et vous cherchez à savoir de qui il s’agit, sans succès ? - Vous aimeriez pister quelqu’un comme un détective grâce à Internet, pour savoir où il se trouve et ce qu’il fait ? - Vous avez des fois l’impression d’être un peu dépassé par Internet et vous ne vous y sentez pas vraiment en sécurité ? Voyons comment le doxing (une méthode d’espionnage), le social-engineering (la manipulation mentale sur Internet) et d’autres techniques tirées du monde du hacking vous aideront dans votre quotidien. Chapitre 0 : Introduction au doxing, au hot-reading et au social-engineering. Chapitre 1 : Utiliser le Tracking Link Creator (TLC), un outil d'espionnage méconnu et puissant. Chapitre 2 : Qui se cache derrière l’écran ? Apprenez à retrouver la trace de n'importe qui grâce à la moindre information : un téléphone, un nom, une e-mail, un site web un pseudonyme... Chapitre 3 : Comment créer de fausses identités sur Internet, sans tomber dans l'illégalité ? Chapitre 4 : Co-écrit avec le mentaliste Félix Boussa. Des techniques de manipulation mentale, ainsi que des méthodes permettant de cerner le profil de vos interlocuteurs sur Internet. Chapitre 5 : Étude de la stylométrie, l'analyse syntaxique de vos interlocuteurs. Chapitre 6 : Comment vous protéger du doxing ? Toutes les techniques d'auto-défense à connaître absolument.

Tired of reading HTML books that only make sense after you're an expert? Then it's about time you picked up Head First HTML and really learned HTML. You want to learn HTML so you can finally create those web pages you've always wanted, so you can communicate more effectively with friends, family, fans, and fanatic customers. You also want to do it right so you can actually maintain and expand your web pages over time so they work in all browsers and mobile devices. Oh, and if you've never heard of CSS, that's okay--we won't tell anyone you're still partying like it's 1999--but if you're going to create web pages in the 21st century then you'll want to know and understand CSS. Learn the real secrets of creating web pages, and why everything your boss told you about HTML tables is probably wrong (and what to do instead). Most importantly, hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casually mentions how his HTML is now strict, and his CSS is in an external style sheet. With Head First HTML, you'll avoid the embarrassment of thinking web-safe colors still matter, and the foolishness of slipping a font tag into your pages. Best of all, you'll learn HTML and CSS in a way that won't put you to sleep. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect: a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, this book will load HTML and CSS into your brain in a way that sticks. So what are you waiting for? Leave those other dusty books behind and come join us in Webville. Your tour is about to begin.

Without established design patterns to guide them, developers have had to build distributed systems from scratch, and most of these systems are very unique indeed. Today, the increasing use of containers has paved the way for core distributed system patterns and reusable containerized components. This practical guide presents a collection of repeatable, generic patterns to help make the development of reliable distributed systems far more approachable and efficient. Author Brendan Burns—Director of Engineering at Microsoft Azure—demonstrates how you can adapt existing software design patterns for designing and building reliable distributed applications. Systems engineers and application developers will learn how these long-established patterns provide a common language and framework for dramatically increasing the quality of your system. Understand how patterns and reusable components enable the rapid development of reliable distributed systemsUse the side-car, adapter, and ambassador patterns to split your application into a group of containers on a single machineExplore loosely coupled multi-node distributed patterns for replication, scaling, and communication between the componentsLearn distributed system patterns for large-scale batch data processing covering work-queues, event-based processing, and coordinated workflows

THE BRAND GAP is the first book to present a unified theory of brand-building.  Whereas most books on branding are weighted toward either a strategic or creative approach, this book shows how both ways of thinking can unite to produce a “charismatic brand”—a brand that customers feel is essential to their lives. In an entertaining two-hour read you’ll learn: • the new definition of brand • the five essential disciplines of brand-building • how branding is changing the dynamics of competition • the three most powerful questions to ask about any brand • why collaboration is the key to brand-building • how design determines a customer’s experience • how to test brand concepts quickly and cheaply • the importance of managing brands from the inside • 220-word brand glossary From the back cover: Not since McLuhan’s THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE has a book compressed so many ideas into so few pages. Using the visual language of the boardroom, Neumeier presents the first unified theory of branding—a set of five disciplines to help companies bridge the gap between brand strategy and customer experience. Those with a grasp of branding will be inspired by the new perspectives they find here, and those who would like to understand it better will suddenly “get it.” This deceptively simple book offers everyone in the company access to “the most powerful business tool since the spreadsheet.”

This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version. Five years and more than 100,000 copies after it was first published, it's hard to imagine anyone working in Web design who hasn't read Steve Krug's "instant classic" on Web usability, but people are still discovering it every day.  In this second edition, Steve adds three new chapters in the same style as the original: wry and entertaining, yet loaded with insights and practical advice for novice and veteran alike.  Don't be surprised if it completely changes the way you think about Web design. Three New Chapters! Usability as common courtesy -- Why people really leave Web sites Web Accessibility, CSS, and you -- Making sites usable and accessible Help! My boss wants me to ______. -- Surviving executive design whims "I thought usability was the enemy of design until I read the first edition of this book.  Don't Make Me Think! showed me how to put myself in the position of the person who uses my site.  After reading it over a couple of hours and putting its ideas to work for the past five years, I can say it has done more to improve my abilities as a Web designer than any other book. In this second edition, Steve Krug adds essential ammunition for those whose bosses, clients, stakeholders, and marketing managers insist on doing the wrong thing.  If you design, write, program, own, or manage Web sites, you must read this book."  -- Jeffrey Zeldman, author of Designing with Web Standards
