Bringing together an international team of scholars, this
pioneering book presents the first truly systematic,
cross-linguistic study of variation in literacy development. It
draws on a wide range of cross-cultural research to shed light on
the key factors that predict global variation in children's
acquisition of reading and writing skills, covering regions as
diverse as North and South America, Asia, Australia, Europe and
Africa. The first part of the volume deals with comprehensive
reviews related to the variation of literacy in different regions
of the globe as a function of socio-political, sociocultural, and
language and writing system factors. The second part of the volume
deals with comprehensive reviews related to the variation of
literacy in different world regions. Offering a pioneering new
framework for global literacy development, this groundbreaking
volume will remain a landmark in the fields of literacy development
and literacy teaching and learning for years to come.
More often than not, developers will stop a large project in the
middle of the build stage to rethink and recode the software design
so it's cleaner and more efficient. Known as "refactoring," this
process eats up valuable time and money. To help offset
refactoring, this book presents a new process called
"prefactoring," the premise of which states that you're better off
considering the best possible design patterns before you even begin
your project. Prefactoring, in essence, is the art of applying the
insights gleaned from previous experience (whether yours or someone
else's) when developing software to new projects. Doing so will
likely save you from making costly design changes midstream - and
maybe even save your job! This practical, thought-provoking guide
details prefactoring guidelines in design, code, and testing, each
derived from the lessons of many developers over many years. With
these guidelines, you're far more likely to create more readable
and maintainable code before you reach the second-guessing stage.
To help communicate the many facets of this process, "Prefactoring"
follows the example of a fictitious client, Sam, as he seeks to
create a software system from beginning to implementation. Among
the topics covered are: General development issues; Implementation
classes; Object-oriented design; Creating reports via separation of
concerns; Associations and states; and, Creating and testing
interfaces. If you understand object-oriented design, and you want
to save time and money by considering more efficient designs before
you begin your project, "Prefactoring" will show you the way. It
won't guarantee that you'll never need to refactor your design or
code again, but you're sure to cut down on the amount of
refactoring you do.
This volume presents the first truly systematic,
multi-disciplinary, and cross-linguistic study of the language and
writing system factors affecting the emergence of dyslexia.
Bringing together a team of scholars from a wide variety of
disciplines, it takes a dual focus on the language-specific
properties of dyslexia and on its core components across languages
and orthographies, to challenge theories on the nature,
identification and prevalence of dyslexia, and to reveal new
insights. Part I highlights the nature, identification and
prevalence of dyslexia across multiple languages including English,
French, Dutch, Czech and Slovakian, Finnish, Arabic, Hebrew,
Japanese and Chinese, while Part II takes a cross-linguistic stance
on topics such as the nature of dyslexia, the universals that
determine relevant precursor measures, competing hypotheses of
brain-based deficits, modelling outcomes, etiologies, and
intergenerational gene-environment interactions.
