Theatrical Design and Production is a comprehensive and practical
survey that examines the technical and design aspects of play
production, including scene design and construction, lighting,
sound, costume, and makeup. Design is presented as both an art
closely integrated with the director's, actor's, and playwright's
visions, and a craft that provides practical solutions for the
physical manipulation of stage space.
Now in its seventh edition, Designing with Light introduces readers
to the art, craft, and technology of stage lighting and media
projection. The new edition is fully updated to include current
information on the technology of stage lighting: lighting fixtures,
lamps, cabling, dimmers, control boards, as well as electrical
theory. Readers will learn how designed light is used to enhance
the audience's understanding and enjoyment of a production. The
book includes specific information on drafting the light plot,
explores the challenges of designing for different stage
configurations, and provides examples of lighting designs for
dramas, musicals, and dance. It also features comments and thoughts
from active designers from both mainstream theatrical productions
and related industries. Written for students of Lighting Design and
Technology as well as professional technicians and designers,
Designing with Light offers a comprehensive survey of the practical
and aesthetic aspects of stage lighting design.

Make code deployments completely safe and change your application
in production in real time with LaunchDarkly using percentage-based
rollouts, kill switches, and A/B and multi-variant testing Key
Features Learn how to work with LaunchDarkly to turn features on
and off within your production applications Explore the ways in
which feature management can change how software is built and how
teams work Master every aspect of LaunchDarkly's functionality to
test in production and learn from your users Book DescriptionOver
the past few years, DevOps has become the de facto approach for
designing, building, and delivering software. Feature management is
now extending the DevOps methodology to allow applications to
change on demand and run experiments to validate the success of new
features. If you want to make feature management happen,
LaunchDarkly is the tool for you. This book explains how feature
management is key to building modern software systems. Starting
with the basics of LaunchDarkly and configuring simple feature
flags to turn features on and off, you'll learn how simple
functionality can be applied in more powerful ways with
percentage-based rollouts, experimentation, and switches. You'll
see how feature management can change the way teams work and how
large projects, including migrations, are planned. Finally, you'll
discover various uses of every part of the tool to gain mastery of
LaunchDarkly. This includes tips and tricks for experimentation,
identifying groups and segments of users, and investigating and
debugging issues with specific users and feature flag evaluations.
By the end of the book, you'll have gained a comprehensive
understanding of LaunchDarkly, along with knowledge of the adoption
of trunk-based development workflows and methods, multi-variant
testing, and managing infrastructure changes and migrations. What
you will learn Get to grips with the basics of LaunchDarkly and
feature flags Roll out a feature to a percentage or group of users
Find out how to experiment with multi-variant and A/B testing
Discover how to adopt a trunk-based development workflow Explore
methods to manage infrastructure changes and migrations Gain an
in-depth understanding of all aspects of the LaunchDarkly tool Who
this book is forThis book is for developers, quality assurance
engineers and DevOps engineers. This includes individuals who want
to decouple the deployment of code from the release of a feature,
run experiments in production, or understand how to change
processes to build and deploy software. Software engineers will
also benefit from learning how feature management can be used to
improve products and processes. A basic understanding of software
is all that you need to get started with this book as it covers the
basics before moving on to more advanced topics.
What one finds in these poems is the truth. It's as simple as that.
No frills from the workshop, no ostentatious diction or imagery,
but only the firm, quiet enterprise of authenticity. In a world
increasingly crude, cruel, and repulsive what could be more
pleasing, more useful? Not that these poems shun our actual
history. Violence and dislocation are the clearly stated context
here. But the accurate vision of a committed imagination prevails,
and does so in language as flawless as language can be. I recommend
these poems for their wisdom and insight, but even more for their
steadfast initiative and independence, their refusal to be
fashionable. Judge's Statement by Hayden Carruth for Blinding the
Goldfinches, 2003 Backwaters Prizewinner.
