Learn how to advance your skill level of Haskell, and use this language for practical web development. This book uses a direct, no nonsense approach, so you no longer need to spend extra time reading the documentation, blog posts, and forums to understand how to use Haskell - all that knowledge is provided in one coherent resource. You'll start by reviewing how multiple facets of web development are done in Haskell, such as routing, building HTMLs, interacting with databases, caches, and queues, etc. You'll then move on to using notable libraries, such as "scotty" for routings, "digestive-functor" for input validation, and "postgresql-simple" for interacting with databases. In the later chapters, you'll learn how all of these libraries can be used together by working on a fully functioning project deployed on Heroku. What You'll Learn Set up a productive Haskell development environment Review basic tasks that are encountered when building web applications. Explore how to interact with external systems, such as databases, queues, and RESTful APIs. Build a RESTful API, website, building views and form validation. Who This Book Is For Software developers familiar Haskell and would like to apply the knowledge on real world applications and software developers new to Haskell.

Smart web developers will tell you that the sooner you detect your code mistakes, the quicker you can fix them, and the less the project will cost in the long run. Well, the most efficient way to detect your mistakes in PHP is with PHPUnit, an open source framework that automates unit testing by running a battery of tests as you go. The benefits of PHPUnit are significant, they are: a reduction in the effort required to frequently test code; fewer overall defects; added confidence in your code; and improved relations with your open source teammates. The only problem with this popular testing tool was its lack of documentation-until now, that is. For this, "O'Reilly" went right to the source, as Sebastian Bergmann, the author of "PHPUnit Pocket Guide", also happens to be PHPUnit's creator. This little book brings together hard-to-remember information, syntax, and rules for working with PHPUnit. It also delivers the insight and sage advice that can only come from the technology's creator. The coverage of testing under agile methodologies and Extreme Programming (XP) is also included. The latest in "O'Reilly's" series of handy Pocket Guides, this quick-reference book puts all the answers are right at your fingertips. It's an invaluable companion for anyone interested in testing the PHP code they write for web applications.

IT-Projekte mussen durch Projektvertrage auf allen Stufen gezielt gesteuert und kontrolliert werden, um erfolgreich zu sein. Der Autor geht auf die Verantwortlichkeit des Managements fur die Projektfuhrung ein und erlautert die aktuellen Normvorgaben fur IT-Projekte aus ISO 20.000 und ITIL. Behandelt werden auch Outsourcing und ASP sowie IT-Security, gewissermassen Dauerprojekte, ebenso die Sanierung von Projekten und die Anwenderrechte bei Anbieterinsolvenz.

Ausfuhrliche Checklisten fur CIOs und Geschaftsleitungen sollen schliesslich aus deren Blickwinkel die Projektkontrolle erleichtern. In dieser Themenkombination gibt es am Buchmarkt gegenwartig keine gleichartige Darstellung."

Das Buch spielt mit einem neuen, ganzheitlichen Vorstellungsbild des Menschen, der aus drei Einheiten zusammengesetzt gedacht wird: das analytische Denken residiert in einer computerahnlichen linken Gehirnhalfte, die kreative Intuition sitzt wie ein naturbelassenes neuronales Netzwerk in der rechten. Der Mensch denkt, wohin ihn das dritte System lenkt: Ein hyperschneller Anzeichen-Identifizierer alarmiert etwa bei gefahrlichen Ereignissen die Aufmerksamkeit, unbewusst, ohne Denken. Bis auf ein paar Zeilen mathematischer Erklarung ist dieses Buch fulminante Philosophie. Wichtige Ansichten dieser Welt werden gedreht und bleiben zum Teil auf dem Kopf stehen. Die Lehren von Platon, Aristoteles, Konfuzius, Epikur, Freud & Co. erscheinen als notwendige Philosophien verschiedener Gehirnnutzungsvarianten. Das Buch ist eine scharfsinnig-bissig-humorvolle und sehr personliche Auseinandersetzung mit dem, was wir "Lebenssinn" nennen.

Have you ever felt frustrated working with someone else's code? Difficult-to-maintain source code is a big problem in software development today, leading to costly delays and defects. Be part of the solution. With this practical book, you'll learn 10 easy-to-follow guidelines for delivering Java software that's easy to maintain and adapt. These guidelines have been derived from analyzing hundreds of real-world systems. Written by consultants from the Software Improvement Group (SIG), this book provides clear and concise explanations, with advice for turning the guidelines into practice. Examples for this edition are written in Java, while our companion C# book provides workable examples in that language. Write short units of code: limit the length of methods and constructors Write simple units of code: limit the number of branch points per method Write code once, rather than risk copying buggy code Keep unit interfaces small by extracting parameters into objects Separate concerns to avoid building large classes Couple architecture components loosely Balance the number and size of top-level components in your code Keep your codebase as small as possible Automate tests for your codebase Write clean code, avoiding "code smells" that indicate deeper problems

One of the most useful features of today's modern browsers is the ability to store data right on the user's computer or mobile device. Even as more people move toward the cloud, client-side storage can still save web developers a lot of time and money, if you do it right. This hands-on guide demonstrates several storage APIs in action. You'll learn how and when to use them, their plusses and minuses, and steps for implementing one or more of them in your application. Ideal for experienced web developers familiar with JavaScript, this book also introduces several open source libraries that make storage APIs easier to work with. Learn how different browsers support each client-side storage API Work with web (aka local) storage for simple things like lists or preferences Use IndexedDB to store nearly anything you want on the user's browser Learn how support web apps that still use the discontinued Web SQL Database API Explore Lockr, Dexie, and localForage, three libraries that simplify the use of storage APIs Build a simple working application that makes use of several storage techniques

Eingebettete Systeme begegnen uns mittlerweile uberall im Alltag: vom Mikrocontroller in der Waschmaschine bis hin zum leistungsfahigen DSP im Autoradio. Noch vor wenigen Jahren wurden diese Prozessoren aufwandig in Assembler programmiert und besassen nur in den wenigsten Fallen ein Betriebssystem. Mittlerweile aber bieten leistungsfahige und schlanke Linux-Derivate auch auf einfachen Prozessoren den Komfort der Schnittstellentreiber, des Multi-Threadings und eines Dateisystems. Die vorgestellte Hardware ist teilweise Konsumerprodukten entlehnt und somit gut erhaltlich.

Besonderer Wert wird auf die Praxistauglichkeit der Implementierungen gelegt, und so sind die Beispiele zur Hardwareanbindung via I2C, zur Kommunikation und zur Bildverarbeitung vollstandig durchimplementiert und online frei verfugbar. Das vorliegende Buch richtet sich an Berufsanfanger, Praktiker und Studenten der Informatik und der Ingenieurswissenschaften.
