This 'lost' play by Patrick Hamilton is a Victorian psychological
thriller last seen on the stage in 1945. The play is the second of
Hamilton's to feature Inspector Rough, who first made his name in
one of the author's best-known works, Gaslight. Miss Ethel Fry, the
titular governess, has taken a position in the Drew household where
she quickly begins to manipulate all those around her. Things
become murkier when the family discover that their baby son has
been abducted, presumed taken by gypsies, throwing the entire house
into chaos and suspicion. As the family try to adjust to their
devastating loss, the eagle-eyed Inspector Rough arrives on the
scene out to prove that this case is far from resolved.5 women, 6

Seit Jahrzehnten ist der Softwarebau in der Krise. Immer noch
gehen etwa die Halfte aller in der IT-Produktion eingesetzten
Mittel verloren. Angekundigte Programme verzogern sich oder bleiben
hinter den Erwartungen zuruck.
Muss das so sein? Die These dieses Werkes lautet: die Ursachen
hierfur sind in den dem Softwarebau zugrunde liegenden Paradigmen
zu suchen. Statt den Blick in erster Linie auf eingesetzte Technik,
Best Practices oder Prozesse zu werfen, betreibt der Autor im Sinne
des Total Quality Managements Ursachenforschung und stellt die
Denk- und Arbeitsweisen der Entwickler auf den Prufstand. Dabei
hinterfragt er zugrunde gelegte Annahmen, fahndet nach neuen
Losungsparadigmen und ubertragt diese auf industrietaugliche
Arbeitskonzepte. In einem interdisziplinaren Ansatz wird
dargestellt, wie Software effizienter, kostengunstiger und
qualitativ besser werden kann, weil Mitarbeiter gelernt haben, die
anstehenden Aufgaben ganzheitlich zu bewaltigen.

Das Buch wendet sich an IT-Entwickler, Projektmanager und CIO's.
Hauptthema ist die gezielte Entwicklung von F higkeiten (Skills)
jenseits der klassischen "IT-Denke." Fakt ist, dass laut
statistischer Erhebungen ber 60 Prozent aller Software-Projekte
nicht zum gew nschten Erfolg f hren, d.h. nicht in Budget, Zeit
oder Qualit t zur Auslieferung kommen. Wenigstens die H lfte dieser
Projektfehler geht zu Lasten fehlender Skills der verantwortlichen
IT-Profis. Der international erfahrene Autor arbeitet diese
Problematik auf, stellt hierzu die entsprechenden
Themenschwerpunkte sehr praxisnah in den Mittelpunkt und benennt
konstruktive L sungen.
This classic Victorian thriller was first produced in 1935. Jack
Manningham is slowly, deliberately driving his wife, Bella, insane.
He has almost succeeded when help arrives in the form of a former
detective, Rough, who believes Manningham to be a thief and
murderer. Aided by Bella, Rough proves Manningham's true identity
and finally Bella achieves a few moments of sweet revenge for the
suffering inflicted on her.
Brandon wants excitement and little cares how he gets it. He
persuades his weak-minded friend, Granillo, to assist him in the
murder of a fellow undergraduate. The two place the body in a
wooden chest and, to add spice to their handiwork, invite a few
acquaintances, including the dead man's father, round to a party,
the chest with its gruesome contents serving as a supper table. The
horror and tension are worked up gradually; thunder growls outside,
the guests leave, and we see the reactions of the two murderers,
watched closely by the suspicting Rupert Cadell. Finally, they
break down under the strain and confess their guilt. The final
curtain descends on Cadell blowing the whistle which will summon a
waiting policeman. Rope, first produced and published in 1929, was
filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1948 and remains to this day one of
the classics of the thriller genre.

Ernest Ralph Gorse's heartlessness and lack of scruple are matched
only by the inventiveness and panache with which he swindles his
victims. With great deftness and precision Hamilton exposes how his
dupes' own naivete, snobbery or greed make them perfect targets.
These three novels are shot through with the brooding menace and
sense of bleak inevitability so characteristic of the author. There
is also vivid satire and caustic humour. Gorse is thought to be
based on the real-life murderer Neville Heath, hanged in 1946.
