'Personal Kanban' ist eine einfache und elegante Methode, um Aufgaben, Projekte und Termine im Berufs- und Privatleben effektiver zu erledigen. Indem wir unsere Vorhaben visualisieren, können wir mithilfe von Personal Kanban besser organisieren und gleichzeitig unsere Arbeit, Ziele und Einsichten mit anderen teilen. Das 'Kanban-Board' als wichtigstes Werkzeug ermöglicht dabei eine Übersicht uber den Status der angefallenen, anstehenden und erledigten Aufgaben. 'Personal Kanban' folgt nur zwei Regeln: - Regel 1: Stellen Sie Ihre Arbeit bildlich dar! - Regel 2: Machen Sie nicht zu viel auf einmal! Indem die Menge an parallelen Aufgaben begrenzt wird, können Engpässe sichtbar gemacht werden. Aufgaben werden nach dem Pull-Prinzip (Hol-Prinzip) abgearbeitet, d.h., es wird nur die Arbeit angenommen, die auch bewältigt werden kann. Dies wirkt sich positiv auf den Arbeitsfluss und den Durchsatz aus. Auf Basis dieser Betrachtung können wir proaktiv Entscheidungen treffen. Unsere Arbeit wird produktiv, effizient und effektiv. Wir haben Spaß an dem, was wir tun, und sind motiviert, es noch besser zu machen. Jim Benson und Tonianne DeMaria Barry beschreiben anhand zahlreicher Fallbeispiele, wie Sie mit Personal Kanban bei der Planung persönlicher Aufgaben sofort gute Resultate erzielen können.

Seller: Hachette Digital, Inc.

Tracy Kidder's "riveting" ( Washington Post ) story of one company's efforts to bring a new microcomputer to market won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award and has become essential reading for understanding the history of the American tech industry. Computers have changed since 1981, when The Soul of a New Machine first examined the culture of the computer revolution. What has not changed is the feverish pace of the high-tech industry, the go-for-broke approach to business that has caused so many computer companies to win big (or go belly up), and the cult of pursuing mind-bending technological innovations. The Soul of a New Machine is an essential chapter in the history of the machine that revolutionized the world in the twentieth century. "Fascinating...A surprisingly gripping account of people at work." -- Wall Street Journal

A richly-illustrated, full-color introduction to deep learning that offers visual and conceptual explanations instead of equations. You'll learn how to use key deep learning algorithms without the need for complex math. Ever since computers began beating us at chess, they've been getting better at a wide range of human activities, from writing songs and generating news articles to helping doctors provide healthcare. Deep learning is the source of many of these breakthroughs, and its remarkable ability to find patterns hiding in data has made it the fastest growing field in artificial intelligence (AI).

Deep Learning: A Visual Approach is for anyone who wants to understand this fascinating field in depth, but without any of the advanced math and programming usually required to grasp its internals. If you want to know how these tools work, and use them yourself, the answers are all within these pages. And, if you're ready to write your own programs, there are also plenty of supplemental Python notebooks in the accompanying Github repository to get you going. The book's conversational style, extensive color illustrations, illuminating analogies, and real-world examples expertly explain the key concepts in deep learning, including:   •  How text generators create novel stories and articles   •  How deep learning systems learn to play and win at human games   •  How image classification systems identify objects or people in a photo   •  How to think about probabilities in a way that's useful to everyday life   •  How to use the machine learning techniques that form the core of modern AI Intellectual adventurers of all kinds can use the powerful ideas covered in Deep Learning: A Visual Approach to build intelligent systems that help us better understand the world and everyone who lives in it.

Unlike any time before in our lives, we have access to vast amounts of free information. With the right tools, we can start to make sense of all this data to see patterns and trends that would otherwise be invisible to us. By transforming numbers into graphical shapes, we allow readers to understand the stories those numbers hide. In this practical introduction to understanding and using information graphics, you’ll learn how to use data visualizations as tools to see beyond lists of numbers and variables and achieve new insights into the complex world around us. Regardless of the kind of data you’re working with–business, science, politics, sports, or even your own personal finances–this book will show you how to use statistical charts, maps, and explanation diagrams to spot the stories in the data and learn new things from it. You’ll also get to peek into the creative process of some of the world’s most talented designers and visual journalists, including Condé Nast Traveler’s John Grimwade , National Geographic Magazine’s Fernando Baptista, The New York Times’ Steve Duenes, The Washington Post’s Hannah Fairfield, Hans Rosling of the Gapminder Foundation, Stanford’s Geoff McGhee, and European superstars Moritz Stefaner, Jan Willem Tulp, Stefanie Posavec, and Gregor Aisch. The book also includes a DVD-ROM containing over 90 minutes of video lessons that expand on core concepts explained within the book and includes even more inspirational information graphics from the world’s leading designers. The first book to offer a broad, hands-on introduction to information graphics and visualization, The Functional Art reveals: • Why data visualization should be thought of as “functional art” rather than fine art • How to use color, type, and other graphic tools to make your information graphics more effective, not just better looking • The science of how our brains perceive and remember information ¿ • Best practices for creating interactive information graphics • A comprehensive look at the creative process behind successful information graphics ¿ • An extensive gallery of inspirational work from the world’s top designers and visual artists On the DVD-ROM: In this introductory video course on information graphics, Alberto Cairo goes into greater detail with even more visual examples of how to create effective information graphics that function as practical tools for aiding perception. You’ll learn how to: incorporate basic design principles in your visualizations, create simple interfaces for interactive graphics, and choose the appropriate type of graphic forms for your data. Cairo also deconstructs successful information graphics from The New York Times and National Geographic magazine with sketches and images not shown in the book. All of Peachpit's eBooks contain the same content as the print edition. You will find a link in the last few pages of your eBook that directs you to the media files.

A new and extensively revised edition of a popular textbook used in universities, coding boot camps, hacker clubs, and online courses. The best way to understand how computers work is to build one from scratch, and this textbook leads learners through twelve chapters and projects that gradually build the hardware platform and software hierarchy for a simple but powerful computer system. In the process, learners gain hands-on knowledge of hardware, architecture, operating systems, programming languages, compilers, data structures and algorithms, and software engineering. Using this constructive approach, the book introduces readers to a significant body of computer science knowledge and synthesizes key theoretical and applied techniques into one constructive framework.The outcome is known known as Nand to Tetris : a journey that starts with the most elementary logic gate, called Nand , and ends, twelve projects later, with a general-purpose computer system capable of running Tetris and any other program that comes to your mind. The first edition of this popular textbook inspired Nand to Tetris classes in many universities, coding boot camps, hacker clubs, and online course platforms. This second edition has been extensively revised. It has been restructured into two distinct parts—part I, Hardware, and part II, Software—with six projects in each part. All chapters and projects have been rewritten, with an emphasis on separating abstraction from implementation, and many new sections, figures, and examples have been added. Substantial new appendixes offer focused presentation on technical and theoretical topics.

★★★  Good things come in small packages. ★★★ 2020 will be remembered for many things. For Apple, it may come down to this: choices. There are more phone choices than ever for Apple users. From the budget iPhone SE to the pro phone iPhone 12 Pro.  The iPhone 12 Mini comes nicely in between these choices--not nearly as expensive as the iPhone 12 Pro, and with much nicer specs than the iPhone SE. The price may make it feel like a budget phone, but there is nothing cheap about it.
