O'Reilly Media. Very Good. 7 x 0.98 x 9.19 inches. Paperback. 2005. 544 pages. <br>Many programmers code by instinct, relying on conv enient habits or a style they picked up early on. They aren't con scious of all the choices they make, like how they format their s ource, the names they use for variables, or the kinds of loops th ey use. They're focused entirely on problems they're solving, sol utions they're creating, and algorithms they're implementing. So they write code in the way that seems natural, that happens intui tively, and that feels good. But if you're serious about your pr ofession, intuition isn't enough. Perl Best Practices author Dami an Conway explains that rules, conventions, standards, and practi ces not only help programmers communicate and coordinate with one another, they also provide a reliable framework for thinking abo ut problems, and a common language for expressing solutions. This is especially critical in Perl, because the language is designed to offer many ways to accomplish the same task, and consequently it supports many incompatible dialects. With a good dose of Aus sie humor, Dr. Conway (familiar to many in the Perl community) of fers 256 guidelines on the art of coding to help you write better Perl code--in fact, the best Perl code you possibly can. The gui delines cover code layout, naming conventions, choice of data and control structures, program decomposition, interface design and implementation, modularity, object orientation, error handling, t esting, and debugging. They're designed to work together to prod uce code that is clear, robust, efficient, maintainable, and conc ise, but Dr. Conway doesn't pretend that this is the one true uni versal and unequivocal set of best practices. Instead, Perl Best Practices offers coherent and widely applicable suggestions based on real-world experience of how code is actually written, rather than on someone's ivory-tower theories on howsoftware ought to b e created. Most of all, Perl Best Practices offers guidelines th at actually work, and that many developers around the world are a lready using. Much like Perl itself, these guidelines are about h elping you to get your job done, without getting in the way. Pra ise for Perl Best Practices from Perl community members: As a ma nager of a large Perl project, I'd ensure that every member of my team has a copy of Perl Best Practices on their desk, and use it as the basis for an in-house style guide.-- Randal Schwartz The re are no more excuses for writing bad Perl programs. All levels of Perl programmer will be more productive after reading this boo k.-- Peter Scott Perl Best Practices will be the next big import ant book in the evolution of Perl. The ideas and practices Damian lays down will help bring Perl out from under the embarrassing h eading of scripting languages. Many of us have known Perl is a re al programming language, worthy of all the tasks normally delegat ed to Java and C++. With Perl Best Practices, Damian shows specif ically how and why, so everyone else can see, too.-- Andy Lester Damian's done what many thought impossible: show how to build la rge, maintainable Perl applications, while still letting Perl be the powerful, expressive language that programmers have loved for years.-- Bill Odom Finally, a means to bring lasting order to t he process and product of real Perl development teams.-- Andrew S undstrom Perl Best Practices provides a valuable education in ho w to write robust, maintainable Perl, and is a definitive citatio n source when coaching other programmers.-- Bennett ToddI've been teaching Perl for years, and find the same question keeps being asked: Where can I find a reference for writing reusable, maintai nable Perl code? Finally I have a decent answer.-- Paul FenwickAt last a well researched, well thought-out, comprehensive guide to Perl style. Instead of each of us developing our own, we can lea rn good practices from one of Perl's most prolific and experience d authors. I recommend this book to anyone who prefers getting on with the job rather than going back and fixing errors caused by syntax and poor style issues.-- Jacinta RichardsonIf you care abo ut programming in any language read this book. Even if you don't intend to follow all of the practices, thinking through your styl e will improve it.-- Steven LembarkThe Perl community's best auth or is back with another outstanding book. There has never been a comprehensive reference on high quality Perl coding and style unt il Perl Best Practices. This book fills a large gap in every Perl bookshelf.-- Uri Guttman Editorial Reviews About the Author D amian Conway holds a PhD in Computer Science and is an honorary A ssociate Professor with the School of Computer Science and Softwa re Engineering at Monash University, Melbourne, Australia.Current ly he runs an international IT training company--Thoughtstream--w hich provides programmer development from beginner to masterclass level throughout Europe, North America, and Australasia.Damian w as the winner of the 1998, 1999, and 2000 Larry Wall Awards for P ractical Utility. The best technical paper at the annual Perl Con ference was subsequently named in his honour. He is a member of t he technical committee for The Perl Conference, a keynote speaker at many Open Source conferences, a former columnist for The Perl Journal, and author of the book Object Oriented Perl. In 2001 Da mian received the first Perl Foundation Development Grant and spe nt 20 months working on projects for the betterment of Perl.A pop ular speaker and trainer, he is also the author of numerous well- known Perl modules, including Parse::RecDescent (a sophisticated parsing tool), Class::Contract (design-by-contract programming in Perl), Lingua::EN::Inflect (rule-based English transformations f or text generation), Class::Multimethods (multiple dispatch polym orphism), Text::Autoformat (intelligent automatic reformatting of plaintext), Switch (Perl's missing case statement), NEXT (resump tive method dispatch), Filter::Simple (Perl-based source code man ipulation), Quantum::Superpositions (auto-parallelization of seri al code using a quantum mechanical metaphor), and Lingua::Romana: :Perligata (programming in Latin).Most of his time is now spent w orking with Larry Wall on the design of the new Perl 6 programmin g language. </div ., O'Reilly Media, 2005, 3, London: Edward Arnold, 1992. 1st ed..

A case study taken from child psychiatry is used as an example of the scientific method at work. The authors follow it through to show the statistical techniques available to look at a range of questions and data. The book is aimed at psychologists who have had an introduction to statistics and research design at the undergraduate level., Edward Arnold, 1992, 0, This book is a collaborative production, based on the experiences of the co-authors in presenting a course in qualitative methods over many years to MSc students. This is not an edited book; the authors have drafted particular chapters, but the team has collectively discussed, reworked and rewritten the text to produce a coherent review and guide to the area. This research guide is designed to be an introductory text to qualitative methods, intended for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students. As well as furnishing an understanding of the assumptions underlying such research methods, the book is intended to present a practical guide as to how to carry out qualitative investigations, and in addition to provide the basis for a critical evaluation of these methods.., 0, Saunders, 2014-10-14. 6th edition. paperback.

Editorial Reviews Review A software process defines the steps required to create s oftware successfully. Written by the same authors who brought you the Unified Modeling Language (UML), The Unified Software Develo pment Process introduces a new standard for creating today's soft ware that will certainly be useful for any software developer or manager who is acquainted with UML. Early sections introduce fou r basic principles of the unified process: that software should s tress use cases (which show how it interacts with users), that th e process is architecture-centric, and that it is iterative and i ncremental. The authors then apply these principles to their soft ware process, which involves everything from gathering system req uirements to analysis, design, implementation, and testing. The u se-case examples are excellent and include concrete examples draw n from such areas as banking and inventory control. The authors point out the connection between UML document types (like use cas es, class diagrams, and state transition diagrams) with various m odels used throughout the software process. They provide very sho rt, real-world examples that illustrate how their ideas have been successfully applied. The straightforward tour of the new unifie d software process gets extra elaboration--along with some advice --in later chapters that further describe the author's ideas on d esign. With the weight of these three expert authors behind it, r eaders can expect The Unified Software Development Process to be an important book and one that will be valuable to any working de signer or manager. --Richard Dragan From the Back Cover This l andmark book provides a thorough overview of the Unified Process for software development, with a practical focus on modeling usin g the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The Unified Process goes b eyond mere object-oriented analysis and design to spell out a pro ven family of techniques that supports the complete software deve lopment life cycle. The result is a component-based process that is use-case driven, architecture-centric, iterative, and incremen tal. The Unified Process takes full advantage of the industry-s tandard Unified Modeling Language. This book demonstrates how the notation and process complement one another, using UML models to illustrate the new process in action. The authors clearly descri be the semantics and notation of the different higher-level const ructs used in the models. Constructs such as use cases, actors, s ubsystems, classes, interfaces, active classes, processes, thread s, nodes, and most relations are described in the context of a mo del. Object technology practitioners and software engineers famil iar with the authors' past work will appreciate The Unified Softw are Development Process as a useful means of learning the current best practices in software development. 0201571692B04062001 About the Author Ivar Jacobson, Ph.D., is ?the father? of many t echnologies, including components and component architecture, use cases, modern business engineering, and the Rational Unified Pro cess.

ISBN 9780849326288CRC Press, 23 June 1999Hardback, 176 pagesAs our dependence on and need for abundant energy grows, it becomes increasingly important for engineers and managers to develop and maintain energy efficient systems and build effective energy management programs. Energy Management in Illuminating Systems presents the latest concepts, innovative methods, and state-of-the art technologies in commercial or industrial lighting systems and energy management.An effective energy management program comprises three essential elements: organization, technology, and economics. However, the success of any management program clearly must begin with an energy effective illuminating system, which in turn depends upon using sound engineering analysis and design principles during the projects early stages.In this book, the author-with long and unique experience in the field-provides the details of proven methods for achieving these goals. He presents:How to organize and operate the illumination energy management programThe elements of designing energy effective illuminating systems-systems that can also increase worker productivity and reduce operating costsThe latest in efficient system components, including light sources, ballasts, and luminairesHow to evaluate energy efficiency, including discussion of the impact of energy efficient equipment on power quality, harmonics, the "K" factor, and lighting energy standardsEnergy Management in Illuminating Systems shows how to design and manage energy effective lighting systems for industrial or commercial facilities. With this book, designers, engineers, and managers finally have a complete, how-to guide for applying practical energy management principles to various systems of illumination., 0, Addison-Wesley Professional.

Editorial Reviews Review A software process defines the steps required to create s oftware successfully. Written by the same authors who brought you the Unified Modeling Language (UML), The Unified Software Develo pment Process introduces a new standard for creating today's soft ware that will certainly be useful for any software developer or manager who is acquainted with UML. Early sections introduce fou r basic principles of the unified process: that software should s tress use cases (which show how it interacts with users), that th e process is architecture-centric, and that it is iterative and i ncremental. The authors then apply these principles to their soft ware process, which involves everything from gathering system req uirements to analysis, design, implementation, and testing. The u se-case examples are excellent and include concrete examples draw n from such areas as banking and inventory control. The authors point out the connection between UML document types (like use cas es, class diagrams, and state transition diagrams) with various m odels used throughout the software process. They provide very sho rt, real-world examples that illustrate how their ideas have been successfully applied. The straightforward tour of the new unifie d software process gets extra elaboration--along with some advice --in later chapters that further describe the author's ideas on d esign. With the weight of these three expert authors behind it, r eaders can expect The Unified Software Development Process to be an important book and one that will be valuable to any working de signer or manager. --Richard Dragan From the Back Cover This l andmark book provides a thorough overview of the Unified Process for software development, with a practical focus on modeling usin g the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The Unified Process goes b eyond mere object-oriented analysis and design to spell out a pro ven family of techniques that supports the complete software deve lopment life cycle. The result is a component-based process that is use-case driven, architecture-centric, iterative, and incremen tal. The Unified Process takes full advantage of the industry-s tandard Unified Modeling Language. This book demonstrates how the notation and process complement one another, using UML models to illustrate the new process in action. The authors clearly descri be the semantics and notation of the different higher-level const ructs used in the models. Constructs such as use cases, actors, s ubsystems, classes, interfaces, active classes, processes, thread s, nodes, and most relations are described in the context of a mo del. Object technology practitioners and software engineers famil iar with the authors' past work will appreciate The Unified Softw are Development Process as a useful means of learning the current best practices in software development. 0201571692B04062001 About the Author Ivar Jacobson, Ph.D., is ?the father? of many t echnologies, including components and component architecture, use cases, modern business engineering, and the Rational Unified Pro cess.
