Beginnersoefeninge wys jou die basiese knoopryg-teknieke, een-voudige steke, hoe om vasstrykstof vir lae te gebruik en selfs hoe om te hekel. Wanneer jy hierdie tegnieke baasgeraak het, kan jou ontwerpe so eenvoudig of ingewikkeld wees as wat jy hulle wil maak - en jy het geen spesiale vaardighede of toerusting nodig nie. Die basiese tegnieke word gevolg deur 'n groot versameling pragtige projekte wat by die meeste handwerkers groot byval sal vind.

Uitmuntende kleurfoto's van al die voltooide projekte hou hulle eie bekoring en inspirasie in, en patrone van al die ontwerpe wat in die boek gebruik is, maak dit maklik om die inspirasie in pragtige geskenke of unieke items vir eie gebruik vas te vang.

This book will inspire, lead, and reveal the controversies concerning tithing and its deeper effects on the soul.

This book presents contemporary empirical methods in software engineering related to the plurality of research methodologies, human factors, data collection and processing, aggregation and synthesis of evidence, and impact of software engineering research. The individual chapters discuss methods that impact the current evolution of empirical software engineering and form the backbone of future research. Following an introductory chapter that outlines the background of and developments in empirical software engineering over the last 50 years and provides an overview of the subsequent contributions, the remainder of the book is divided into four parts: Study Strategies (including e.g. guidelines for surveys or design science); Data Collection, Production, and Analysis (highlighting approaches from e.g. data science, biometric measurement, and simulation-based studies); Knowledge Acquisition and Aggregation (highlighting literature research, threats to validity, and evidence aggregation); and Knowledge Transfer (discussing open science and knowledge transfer with industry). Empirical methods like experimentation have become a powerful means of advancing the field of software engineering by providing scientific evidence on software development, operation, and maintenance, but also by supporting practitioners in their decision-making and learning processes. Thus the book is equally suitable for academics aiming to expand the field and for industrial researchers and practitioners looking for novel ways to check the validity of their assumptions and experiences.
