The Design of Design: Essays from a Computer Scientist - pdf

The Design of Design: Essays from a Computer ScientistBook Description
Effective design is at the heart of everything from software development to engineering to architecture. But what do we really know about the design process? What leads to effective, elegant designs? The Design of Design addresses these questions.

These new essays by Fred Brooks contain extraordinary insights for designers in every discipline. Brooks pinpoints constants inherent in all design projects and uncovers processes and patterns likely to lead to excellence. Drawing on conversations with dozens of exceptional designers, as well as his own experiences in several design domains, Brooks observes that bold design decisions lead to better outcomes.

The author tracks the evolution of the design process, treats collaborative and distributed design, and illuminates what makes a truly great designer. He examines the nuts and bolts of design processes, including budget constraints of many kinds, aesthetics, design empiricism, and tools, and grounds this discussion in his own real-world examples–case studies ranging from home costruction to IBM's Operating System/360. Throughout, Brooks reveals keys to success that every designer, design project manager, and design researcher should know.

About the Author
Frederick P. Brooks, Jr., is Kenan Professor of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is the recipient of the National Medal of Technology, for his work on IBM's Operating System/360, and the A. M. Turing Award, for his "landmark contributions to computer architecture, operating systems, and software engineering." He is the author of the best-selling book The Mythical Man-Month, Anniversary Edition (Addison-Wesley, 1995).

Dynamic Prototyping with SketchFlow in Expression Blend - pdf

Dynamic Prototyping with SketchFlow in Expression BlendBook Description
This book is for designers, user experience pros, creative directors, developers, or anyone who wants to create rich, interactive, and compelling products. If you want to communicate innovative ideas, research, experiment, and prototype in the language of the interface, Dynamic Prototyping with SketchFlow in Expression Blend is the perfect text. Learn how to sketch, iterate, and validate ideas–utilizing the power and productivity within SketchFlow.

To create compelling interactive experiences, design and development teams need far better tools and processes for prototyping, wireframing, and creating demos – and for transforming those artifacts into finished sites and applications. Microsoft Expression Blend 3′s breakthrough SketchFlow tool has been designed from the ground up to simplify, streamline, and accelerate every aspect of the prototyping process, enabling design organizations to come together far more effectively, and to visualize users experiences with unprecedented power.

This book presents the first complete SketchFlow tutorial and reference, as well as eighteen case studies showing how SketchFlow can be used to achieve better results and higher ROI. The authors begin by outlining what’s “broken” about today’s web design processes, and explaining what can be done to fix them. Next, they show how to apply SketchFlow to enhance every step of the design process, from collecting assets and designing flows through working with data, storyboards, timelines, behaviors, annotations, and user feedback.

Readers will learn how to rapidly move from creative brief to working prototype; iterate sketches and become increasingly more detailed; and prepare to move rapidly from prototype to state-of-the-art finished application. There will be a foreword by Human-Computer Interaction pioneer Bill Buxton, and endorsements from many of the design field’s leading innovators.

  • Master a powerful new web design and development process that delivers far better results, more rapidly and efficiently
  • Use Expression Blend 3′s breakthrough SketchFlow tool to create wireframes, prototypes, and demos faster than ever before
  • An indispensable resource for every digital agency, interactive boutique, and internal web design/development team

    Drupal Module Development (Video) - pdf

    Drupal Module DevelopmentThis video is ginormous! Originally, we hoped we’d have two smaller videos with titles like “Module Development Basics” and “Advanced Module Development”, but they just wouldn’t hold up on their own. We didn’t want people to end up with only half the story, so we decided to just create one massive comprehensive video with everything you need to know to create Drupal modules of your own. The result is “Drupal Module Building”, the first Lullabot double-album – 5 hours and 10 minutes of action-packed PHP coding, Drupal hooks, and Form API arrays. After watching this video, you’ll be a module building ninja, ready to customize and extend Drupal and bend it to your will!

    In this video, James Walker, Jeff Eaton and Matt Westgate walk you through everything you need to know in order to build, extend and contribute a Drupal module. Starting with some of the essential development tools, they’ll show you how to use the Drupal API reference material and explain all of Drupal’s major conceptual systems. After creating the proper files to register the module, they’ll implement a few Drupal hooks that plug into Drupal’s event-driven architecture. You’ll learn how to register both static and dynamic URLs with Drupal’s menu system. Then you’ll get an introduction to Drupal’s database abstraction layer, how to select and insert data from it, and how to update the database schema. You’ll learn to securely capture and sanitize user-submitted data with the Forms API, as well as how to properly alter any other Drupal form on your site. Finally, you’ll learn how to write secure code, conform to Drupal’s coding standards, and how to contribute your module back to Drupal.org and apply patches provided by the community.

    Over the course of this video, the team builds the Stalker Module, so head on over and download that module if you’d like to be able to open the example code and “play along at home”.

    Overview Drupal Module Development

    Full chapter listing:

    1. Introduction
    2. Module Development Tools
    3. Devel Module
    4. Drupal API Reference
    5. A Tour of Drupal Files
    6. Drupal Hooks & Permissions
    7. Implementing hook_user()
    8. Integrating with the Theme System
    9. Integrating with the Menu System
    10. Using Dynamic Menu Arguments
    11. Introduction to the Database Layer
    12. Inserting Data into the Database
    13. Updating the Database Schema
    14. Forms API Overview
    15. Creating a Drupal Form
    16. Altering Drupal Forms
    17. Writing Secure Code
    18. Contributing Code Back to Drupal
    19. Coding Standards & Applying Patches
    20. Other Notable Drupal Hooks
    21. Conclusion

    Examples in the video are based on Drupal 6, however the basic logic and concepts of Drupal module development do not change much between versions. This video will give you the base knowledge needed to develop for both Drupal 6 and 7. Once Drupal 7 is released, the differences between the Drupal 6 and 7 APIs will be documented here.

    Lullabot has guided such companies as MTV, Sony Music, Lifetime Television, IBM, Popular Science, and Fast Company in building and growing their Drupal websites. Recognized as some of the most influential and well-respected developers, consultants, and educators in the Drupal community, the team is responsible for best-selling Drupal books and Drupal workshops and seminars worldwide.

    Apache MyFaces 1.2 Web Application Development - pdf

    Apache MyFaces 1.2 Web Application DevelopmentBook Description
    Hypes and trends (such as Web 2.0) cause a change in the requirements for user interfaces every now and then. While a lot of frameworks are capable of meeting those changing requirements, it often means you as a developer need in-depth knowledge of web standards, such as XHTML and JavaScript. A framework like Apache MyFaces that hides all details of how the page is rendered at the client and at the same time offers a rich set of tools and building blocks could save you a lot of time, not only when you’re building a brand new application but also when you’re adapting an existing application to meet new user interface requirements.

    This book will teach you everything you need to know to build appealing web interfaces with Apache MyFaces and maintain your code in a pragmatic way. It describes all the steps that are involved in building a user interface with Apache MyFaces. This includes building templates and composition components with Facelets, using all sorts of specialized components from the Tomahawk and Trinidad component sets and adding validation with MyFaces Extensions Validator.

    The book uses a step-by-step approach and contains a lot of tips based on experience of the MyFaces libraries in real-world projects. Throughout the book an example scenario is used to work towards a fully functional application when the book is finished.

    This step-by-step guide will help you to build a fully functional and powerful application.

    What you will learn from this book

    • Create appealing and easy-to-use templates with Facelets
    • Assure reusability of your code by constructing composition components
    • Build consistent looking and usable pages using Trinidad components
    • Use the advanced components from the Tomahawk library, that go way beyond the JSF standard
    • Enhance your web application by enabling AJAX functionality without writing JavaScript code yourself
    • Create dynamic applications that fit the corporate style and color scheme of your company by using the extensive skinning capabilities of Trinidad
    • Prevent the duplication of validation rules by adding JPA annotation-based validation with ExtVal
    • Optimize your JSF application in terms of performance and page size

    Approach
    The book is written as a step-by-step, example-driven tutorial designed to be worked through step by step working on the example code as you learn. A fun example scenario is used throughout the book and of course all source code is available to download from the author’s web site. The book is packed with tips and tricks, based on experience with MyFaces in real-life projects.

    Reflections on Management: How to Manage Your Software Projects, Your Teams, Your Boss, and Yourself - pdf

    Reflections on Management: How to Manage Your Software Projects, Your Teams, Your Boss, and YourselfBook Description
    "Whether you are in a startup or Fortune 500 company; are a developer, development manager, or CEO; use agile, lean, waterfall, or other methodology–if software and quality are important to you, you should read and pay attention to Watts's reflections."

    –Bill Ihrie, Former SVP & CTO, Intuit

    "You will enjoy this collection for its down to earth, accessible prose, its pragmatism, optimism, and, above all, Watts's demonstration that software quality improvement is vitally important and very achievable."

    –Aidan Waine, Information Solutions General Manager, Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division

    "Watts has developed a real weapon for beating your competition: a reliable, repeatable way to create software that has excellent quality and reduces the time to deliver it to your customer and lowers the cost of the entire software life cycle and improves employee morale. All at the same time!"

    –Michael J. Cullen, Vice President, Quality, Oracle Communications Global Business Unit

    A Lifetime of Invaluable Management Insights from Legendary Software Quality Guru Watts S. Humphrey
    In 1986, Watts S. Humphrey made an outrageous commitment: a promise to transform software development. As the pioneering innovator behind SEI's Capability Maturity Model (CMM), Personal Software Process (PSP), and Team Software Process (TSP), Humphrey has more than met that promise. But his contributions go beyond methodology: For decades, his deeply personal writings on project management have been admired by software engineers worldwide.

    Reflections on Management brings together Humphrey's best and most influential essays and articles-sharing insights that will be indispensable for anyone who must achieve superior results in software or any other endeavor.

    Collected here for the first time, these works offer compelling insights into everything from planning day-to-day work to improving quality, encouraging teamwork to becoming a truly great leader.

    All of these writings share a powerful vision, grounded by a life in software that has extended across nearly six decades. The vision is this: To succeed, professionals must effectively manage far more than plans, schedules, and code-they must manage teams, bosses, and above all, themselves.

    About the Author
    Watts S. Humphrey is a Senior Fellow at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), where he introduced concepts that evolved into CMMI, and where he led development of both personal and team software processes (PSP and TSP). Previously, he was a manager and executive at IBM for twenty-seven years. He is the author of twelve highly influential books on software management and process improvement.

    William R. Thomas manages the SEI's Technical Communications team.

    •    Writing basic LINQ queries with C#: filtering, projecting, and sorting data from in-memory collections
    •    Mastering advanced techniques for grouping and joining data and understanding the performance implications of each technique
    •    Taking full advantage of LINQ's standard query operators
    •    Creating custom query operators that follow best practices for coding patterns and error handling
    •    Writing more fluent, readable LINQ queries with C# 4.0's language enhancements, including the new dynamic features
    •    Combining LINQ with COM-Interop to access data sources such as Microsoft Excel
