Few books on software project management have been as influential and timeless as The Mythical Man-Month . With a blend of software engineering facts and thought-provoking opinions, Fred Brooks offers insight for anyone managing complex projects. These essays draw from his experience as project manager for the IBM System/360 computer family and then for OS/360, its massive software system. Now, 20 years after the initial publication of his book, Brooks has revisited his original ideas and added new thoughts and advice, both for readers already familiar with his work and for readers discovering it for the first time. The added chapters contain (1) a crisp condensation of all the propositions asserted in the original book, including Brooks' central argument in The Mythical Man-Month: that large programming projects suffer management problems different from small ones due to the division of labor; that the conceptual integrity of the product is therefore critical; and that it is difficult but possible to achieve this unity; (2) Brooks' view of these propositions a generation later; (3) a reprint of his classic 1986 paper ""No Silver Bullet""; and (4) today's thoughts on the 1986 assertion, ""There will be no silver bullet within ten years."" |

What do flashlights, the British invasion, black cats, and seesaws have to do with computers? In CODE, they show us the ingenious ways we manipulate language and invent new means of communicating with each other. And through CODE, we see how this ingenuity and our very human compulsion to communicate have driven the technological innovations of the past two centuries. Using everyday objects and familiar language systems such as Braille and Morse code, author Charles Petzold weaves an illuminating narrative for anyone who’s ever wondered about the secret inner life of computers and other smart machines. It’s a cleverly illustrated and eminently comprehensible story—and along the way, you’ll discover you’ve gained a real context for understanding today’s world of PCs, digital media, and the Internet. No matter what your level of technical savvy, CODE will charm you—and perhaps even awaken the technophile within. |

The Start-to-Finish, Best-Practice Guide to Implementing and Using DITA Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) is today’s most powerful toolbox for constructing information. By implementing DITA, organizations can gain more value from their technical documentation than ever before. Now, three DITA pioneers offer the first complete roadmap for successful DITA adoption, implementation, and usage. Drawing on years of experience helping large organizations adopt DITA, the authors answer crucial questions the “official” DITA documents ignore, including: Where do you start? What should you know up front? What are the pitfalls in implementing DITA, and how can you avoid them? The authors begin with topic-based writing, presenting proven best practices for developing effective topics and short descriptions. Next, they address content architecture, including how best to set up and implement DITA maps, linking strategies, metadata, conditional processing, and content reuse. Finally, they offer “in the trenches” solutions for ensuring quality implementations, including guidance on content conversion. Coverage includes: Knowing how and when to use each DITA element—and when not to Writing “minimalist,” task-oriented information that quickly meets users’ needs Creating effective task, concept, and reference topics for any product, technology, or service Writing effective short descriptions that work well in all contexts Structuring DITA maps to bind topics together and provide superior navigation Using links to create information webs that improve retrievability and navigation Gaining benefits from metadata without getting lost in complexity Using conditional processing to eliminate redundancy and rework Systematically promoting reuse to improve quality and reduce costs Planning, resourcing, and executing effective content conversion Improving quality by editing DITA content and XML markup  If you’re a writer, editor, information architect, manager, or consultant involved with evaluating, deploying, or using DITA, this book will guide you all the way to success.

Most of the people feel that learning HTML is difficult, but they are going to be proved wrong after reading this book. People should treat HTML same as other computer language to learn it fast and better. People need to realize is that this language, after they start to catch onto the way it works, is going to be one of the most profitable things they are going to be able to do, and it will make it easy for them to code their own website and possibly start to code other websites for people. The issue that comes up is most of the time people have never had to work with HTML before, and they need to learn how to work with the programming code, and also how to use it properly to guarantee their website is going to be noticed and functional. With a solid start in some of the essential coding, people will easily be able to write their own websites quickly and not be concerned about the information that they are put on the website being wrong. To make it even better, once people start to grasp the concept of what HTML is and how it is going to work for them then it is going to be very easy for them to get their websites running. Now, enough talking, it is time for you to start to learn some of the essentials for HTML to make it from a beginner with no programming experience to coding HTML like the people who built Amazon. Well, maybe not that advanced, but the basics are a great starting point to learn HTML fast. |

More and more in the society we live in today, there has become a huge need for education regarding online security, internet security, internet safety and computer security. I’ve found that most stay at home moms are dedicated to protecting their family in all aspects of life, but few know how to protect their families from online threats. After reading this book you will be well educated about your family’s online security risks and how they directly relate to you and your family to make certain you are never at risk. This book will show you ways to thwart Identity Theft as well. I am certain that as a stay at home mom, you are on the go constantly at home and away from your home. While at home, you are busy teaching, playing, comforting, etc. While away from home, you are shuttling your children here and there, playing at the park, going to museums, out to eat, shopping and the sort. Either way, you should not have to worry about online security best practices. You have many other things to do. This book will detail specific ways you can protect yourself and your family regarding online security in a straightforward step by step fashion without the need to be a super techno nerd. According to the website http://www.statisticbrain.com, there were 16 million households that have had serious virus problems in the past 2 years and 1 million households that lost money or had accounts misused by phishing attacks through email. These statistics are from the US alone. Local and national news channels seem to report each day on identity theft, information stolen from individuals, data breaches on companies large and small, Wi-Fi used for illegal purposes, computers stolen at the workplace and even on playgrounds and fast food restaurants. As an Information Security Officer, it is my job to manage these types of threats each day. With that being said, I am going to walk you through exactly how to protect yourself from all of the above with easy to follow step by step instructions. The need for online security becomes even greater while you are traveling and on the go. We seem to let our guard down a bit because we are thrilled about our time on vacation, going to the park or simply the coffee shop around the corner. Either way, we must stay alert and do the small things that will help keep us safe. After helping numerous stay at home moms, it became evident, they were the ones responsible for issues related to the Internet, computers, tablets, phones and other devices. Having had very limited prior training, they struggled with computer and online security issues and the disturbance and damage it caused for their families. Through these support experiences, I saw a definite need to share my knowledge with others just like YOU as the matriarch of your family. This is why and how this book has come to fruition. However, anyone that travels and/or uses a computer, smartphone or tablet will learn what steps to take to protect themselves from online security threats. The book has been written in story form so that the information can be brought to life in a realistic fashion. I will give you scenarios of real life situations and show you exactly how you can avoid them. Topics covered include: 1. Why and how to stay safe on Public Wi-Fi 2. Why and how to create strong passwords 3. Why you should stay muted on Social Networking Sites while out of town, at the playground or shopping 4. Why you should not use Hotel business center computers 5. Why and how to encrypt your laptop and desktop computer 6. Why and how to use and setup a VPN on your laptop to stay safe while on Public Wi-Fi 7. Why it is important to have an RFID Wallet to ensure that someone cannot steal the information from your credit card |

Tous les jeux video ne sont pas des best sellers. Certains jeux qui ont connu un très bon démarrage ne tiennent pas sur la durée parce que leur "expérience utilisateur" (c'est-à-dire  la navigation dans les menus, la fluidité de la progression dans le jeu...) est décevante. La réussite de l'expérience utilisateur (UX pour User eXperience) passe par la compréhension du fonctionnement du cerveau du joueur : anticiper comment le jeu sera perçu, les émotions qu'il provoquera, la manière dont les joueurs devront interagir, et l'attrait (l'engagement) que le jeu suscitera... La première partie de ce livre fournit les bases des sciences cognitives et des neurosciences. La seconde partie fournit les principes et les méthodes pour parvenir à une expérience utilisateur qui garantisse le succès. |
