Tackle some of the biggest challenges in learning Functional
Programming with this modern, up-to-date approach. Objects First
with Java: A Practical Introduction, Global Edition, 6th Edition by
Barnes and Koelling is an introduction to object-oriented
programming, examining various programming concepts from a software
engineering perspective. Ideal for beginners but also more advanced
students and professional programmers, the book begins with
introductory chapters for students without any programming
experience, with later chapters more suitable for advanced or
professional programmers. This latest edition goes beyond just
adding the new language constructs of Java 8. The book's
exploration of this new language demonstrates a renaissance of new
functional ideas and techniques in modern programming, taking
advantage of the boost in their popularity, in line with the new
computing hardware available and the changing nature of current
issues. Key features include: Extensive use of the Java programming
language and BlueJ - the Java interactive development environment.
Clear visualisation of BlueJ's classes and objects, allows you to
gain a much better understanding of the differences than simply
reading source code. Chapters are ordered by software development
concepts instead of language features, like in traditional
textbooks. Functional programming has become an essential part of
the field. This industry-leading text will take you from the first
steps of learning objects to more sophisticated concepts and will
help you explore and master the mechanics of running a program
successfully.

What do business organizations do? The results of business
behaviour can be observed and experienced in the form of the goods
that are produced. However what goes on within organizations is
often hidden from the outside world. This reader enables the
student to make sense of business behaviour by offering an
understanding of what organizations do. The book is underpinned by
a systems perspective and takes a process view of organizations.
This enables it to demonstrate that any business is a number of
interrelated business processes and that success is determined by
the extent to which these activities add value whilst minimising
cost. Specifically the book focuses on: activities through which
the organization interacts with its customers including marketing
and sales; how organizations process materials including purchasing
and manufacturing; and forms of business organization, with a
critical account of new paradigms including business process
re-engineering. The book features articles by leading business
gurus including Michael Porter, Philip Kotler and John Kay.
Venice holds a unique place in literary and cultural history.
Barnes looks at the themes of war, occupation, resistance and

key British and American writers, including Byron, Ruskin, Pound
and Eliot.

A lively, informed, authoritative and entertaining account of what
Wales has to offer native and newcomer alike. PLANET The question
posed to the author once by a prospective visitor to Wales - "What
is there to see?" - is not susceptible of a short, or quick,
answer. For the delights of Wales are cumulative and understated: a
succession of small country churches rather than great city
cathedrals, a labyrinth of byways away from the few highways,
details of vernacular architecture rather than grand edifices, the
thirteenth-century Edwardian castles being the exception thatproves
this rule. A cultural tradition rooted in the austerity and
erudition of the Celtic saints, a tradition more confirmed than
repudiated by the Reformation, is best appreciated by lovers of
small things. Wales is a country where small is beautiful. For
although the juggernaut of globalisation may be threatening the
Welsh way of life with extinction, in the words of a contemporary
Welsh folk anthem: "In spite of everything, we're still here."

The beginning graduate student in homotopy theory is confronted
with a vast literature on spectra that is scattered across books,
articles and decades. There is much folklore but very few easy
entry points. This comprehensive introduction to stable homotopy
theory changes that. It presents the foundations of the subject
together in one place for the first time, from the motivating
phenomena to the modern theory, at a level suitable for those with
only a first course in algebraic topology. Starting from stable
homotopy groups and (co)homology theories, the authors study the
most important categories of spectra and the stable homotopy
category, before moving on to computational aspects and more
advanced topics such as monoidal structures, localisations and
chromatic homotopy theory. The appendix containing essential facts
on model categories, the numerous examples and the suggestions for
further reading make this a friendly introduction to an often
daunting subject.
