The Internship (2013)
Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson star as two former salesmen who, never having
managed to come to grips with the digital age, are left high and
dry when their employer suddenly decides to call it a day. Staking
everything on one last throw of the dice, the pair, defying all the
odds, somehow manage to get themselves accepted onto a coveted
internship at tech giants Google. But will they be able to keep up
the facade once they take up their positions?
The Watch (2012)
Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade star as a group of
friends who form a neighbourhood watch group. While Evan Trautwig, a newcomer to the suburban neighbourhood, may have a
legitimate reason for forming a crime watch group following the
recent murder of a friend, it is clear that for most of the men
ulterior motives are at work. Indeed, Bob Finnerty seems
to spend a lot more time examining the dating habits of his
daughter, Chelsea, than he does looking for
threats. However, when the men stumble across what appears to be an
alien plan to destroy humankind, they understand where their
responsibilities lie and set out to counter the threat.

"Kent is a master at creating code that communicates well, is easy
to understand, and is a pleasure to read. Every chapter of this
book contains excellent explanations and insights into the smaller
but important decisions we continuously have to make when creating
quality code and classes." -Erich Gamma, IBM Distinguished Engineer
"Many teams have a master developer who makes a rapid stream of
good decisions all day long. Their code is easy to understand,
quick to modify, and feels safe and comfortable to work with. If
you ask how they thought to write something the way they did, they
always have a good reason. This book will help you become the
master developer on your team. The breadth and depth of topics will
engage veteran programmers, who will pick up new tricks and improve
on old habits, while the clarity makes it accessible to even novice
developers." -Russ Rufer, Silicon Valley Patterns Group "Many
people don't realize how readable code can be and how valuable that
readability is. Kent has taught me so much, I'm glad this book
gives everyone the chance to learn from him." -Martin Fowler, chief
scientist, ThoughtWorks "Code should be worth reading, not just by
the compiler, but by humans. Kent Beck distilled his experience
into a cohesive collection of implementation patterns. These
nuggets of advice will make your code truly worth reading." -Gregor
Hohpe, author of Enterprise Integration Patterns "In this book Kent
Beck shows how writing clear and readable code follows from the
application of simple principles. Implementation Patterns will help
developers write intention revealing code that is both easy to
understand and flexible towards future extensions. A must read for
developers who are serious about their code." -Sven Gorts
"Implementation Patterns bridges the gap between design and coding.
Beck introduces a new way of thinking about programming by basing
his discussion on values and principles." -Diomidis Spinellis,
author of Code Reading and Code Quality Software Expert Kent Beck
Presents a Catalog of Patterns Infinitely Useful for Everyday
Programming Great code doesn't just function: it clearly and
consistently communicates your intentions, allowing other
programmers to understand your code, rely on it, and modify it with
confidence. But great code doesn't just happen. It is the outcome
of hundreds of small but critical decisions programmers make every
single day. Now, legendary software innovator Kent Beck-known
worldwide for creating Extreme Programming and pioneering software
patterns and test-driven development-focuses on these critical
decisions, unearthing powerful "implementation patterns" for
writing programs that are simpler, clearer, better organized, and
more cost effective. Beck collects 77 patterns for handling
everyday programming tasks and writing more readable code. This new
collection of patterns addresses many aspects of development,
including class, state, behavior, method, collections, frameworks,
and more. He uses diagrams, stories, examples, and essays to engage
the reader as he illuminates the patterns. You'll find proven
solutions for handling everything from naming variables to checking
exceptions. This book covers The value of communicating through
code and the philosophy behind patterns How and when to create
classes, and how classes encode logic Best practices for storing
and retrieving state Behavior: patterns for representing logic,
including alternative paths Writing, naming, and decomposing
methods Choosing and using collections Implementation pattern
variations for use in building frameworks Implementation Patterns
will help programmers at all experience levels, especially those
who have benefited from software patterns or agile methods. It will
also be an indispensable resource for development teams seeking to
work together more efficiently and build more maintainable
software. No other programming book will touch your day-to-day work
more often.
