Flexible, Reliable Software: Using Patterns and Agile
Development guides students through the software development
process. By describing practical stories, explaining the design and
programming process in detail, and using projects as a learning
context, the text helps readers understand why a given technique is
required and why techniques must be combined to overcome the
challenges facing software developers.
The presentation is pedagogically organized as a realistic
development story in which customer requests require introducing
new techniques to combat ever-increasing software complexity. After
an overview and introduction of basic terminology, the book
presents the core practices, concepts, tools, and analytic skills
for designing flexible and reliable software, including test-driven
development, refactoring, design patterns, test doubles, and
responsibility driven and compositional design. It then provides a
collection of design patterns leading to a thorough discussion of
frameworks, exemplified by a graphical user interface frramework
(MiniDraw). The author also discusses the important topics of
configuration management and systematic testing. In the last
chapter, projects lead students to design and implement their own
frameworks, resulting in a reliable and usable implementation of a
large and complex software system complete with a graphical user
interface.
This text teaches how to design, program, and maintain flexible
and reliable software. Installation guides, source code for the
examples, exercises, and projects can be found on the author 's
website.

Ungeachtet aller Borsenturbulenzen schreitet der Strukturwandel
zur neuen Okonomie voran. Die Zahl der Internet-Nutzer steigt
kontinuierlich und mit hohem Tempo, der elektronische Handel
entsteigt den Kinderschuhen, und die Organisation von
Produktionsablaufen von der Materialbeschaffung bis zum
After-Sales-Service wird zunehmend digitalisiert und integriert.
Der Ubergang zur neuen Okonomie ist kein sektorspezifisches
Phanomen, sondern ein branchenubergreifender Prozess, der durch das
Vordringen von Informationsgutern in praktisch alle
Wirtschaftsbereiche gepragt ist. Dieser Strukturwandel hat weit
reichende Konsequenzen fur die Wettbewerbsstrategien von
Unternehmen und Qualifikationsanforderungen auf den Arbeitsmarkten,
die Wettbewerbs- und Regulierungspolitik, die Sozial- und
Steuerpolitik sowie die globale Wirtschaftsordnung. Die damit
verknupften Herausforderungen werden von den Autoren
herausgearbeitet und mit Blick auf den wirtschaftspolitischen
Handlungsbedarf analysiert. "

At six, he witnessed his father's murder. At 12, he regularly
sneaked out to the waterfront at midnight. At 15, he quit school.
At 30, he retired, a self-made man. Then the real work of his life
began. In 1904, A. P. Giannini (1870-1949) founded Bank of Italy,
the predecessor of today's Bank of America, to serve his ethnic
neighborhood in San Francisco. Against a backdrop of earthquake and
fire, anti-immigrant fervor, war, and the Great Depression, he
broke every rule and tradition on his way to a showdown with Wall
Street. This riveting story of an outsider with something to prove
is an American classic.

The scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) began primarily as
a discipline-based movement, committed to exploring the signature
pedagogical and learning styles of each discipline within higher
education, with little exchange across disciplines. As the field
has developed, new questions have arisen concerning
cross-disciplinary comparison and learning in multidisciplinary
settings This volume by a stellar group of experts provides a
state-of-the-field review of recent SoTL scholarship within a range
of disciplines and offers a stimulating discussion of critical
issues related to interdisciplinarity in teaching, learning, and
SoTL research. -- Indiana University Press
