A Practical Guide to Better, Cleaner Code with Functional
Programming In Functional Design, renowned software engineer Robert
C. Martin ("Uncle Bob") explains how and why to use functional
programming to build better systems for real customers. Martin
compares conventional object-oriented coding structures in Java to
those enabled by functional languages, identifies the best roles
for each, and shows how to build better systems by judiciously
using them in context. Martin's approach is pragmatic, minimizing
theory in favor of "in the-trenches" problem-solving. Through
accessible examples, working developers will discover how the
easy-to-learn, semantically rich Clojure language can help them
improve code cleanliness, design, discipline, and outcomes. Martin
examines well-known SOLID principles and Gang of Four patterns from
a functional perspective, revealing why patterns remain extremely
valuable to functional programmers, and how to use them to achieve
superior results. Understand functional basics: immutability,
persistent data, recursion, iteration, laziness, and statefulness
Contrast functional and object approaches through expertly crafted
case studies Explore functional design techniques for data flow Use
classic SOLID principles to write better Clojure code Master
pragmatic approaches to functional testing, GUIs, and concurrency
Make the most of design patterns in functional environments Walk
through building an enterprise-class Clojure application
"Functional Design exudes 'classic-on-arrival.' Bob pulls back the
curtain to reveal how functional programming elements make software
design simple yet pragmatic. He does so without alienating
experienced object-oriented programmers coming from languages like
C#, C++, or Java." --Janet A. Carr, Independent Clojure Consultant
Developed by Bruno Latour and his collaborators, actor-network
theory (ANT) offers crimes studies a worthy intellectual challenge.
It requires us to take the performativity turn, consider the role
of objects in our analysis and conceptualize all actants (human and
non-human) as relational beings. Thus power is not the property of
one party, but rather it is an effect of the relationships among
actants. This innovative collection provides a series of empirical
and theoretical contributions that shows: c The importance of
conceptualizing and analyzing technologies as crucial actants in
crime and crime control. c The many facets of ANT: its various
uses, its theoretical blending with other approaches, its
methodological implications for the field. c The fruitfulness of
ANT for studying technologies and crime studies: its potential and
limitations for understanding the world and revamping crime studies
research goals. Students, academics and policy-makers will benefit
from reading this collection in order to explore
criminology-related topics in a different way.
Hydroxybenzophenones are most useful synthetic intermediates in the
chemical industry, for example in pharmaceuticals, dyes,
fragrances, agrochemicals, explosives and plastics. In this
handbook, the diverse methods of obtaining over 1900
hydroxybenzophenones are described, and their physico-chemical
properties and spectroscopic data references are indicated. Hence,
ketones are classified methodically. They are thus easily
accessible from three tables; the molecular formula index, the
chemical abstracts registry numbers, and the usual names index.
This work will prove to be a valuable tool for laboratory work and
research and development departments. It is set to become the
reference on hydroxybenzophenones. This handbook is particularly
intended for engineers in chemical synthesis and academic as well
as industrial researchers from various branches of chemistry.
Programmers who endure and succeed amidst swirling uncertainty and
nonstop pressure share a common attribute: They care deeply about
the practice of creating software. They treat it as a craft. They
are professionals. In "The Clean Coder: A Code of Conduct for
Professional Programmers, " legendary software expert Robert C.
Martin introduces the disciplines, techniques, tools, and practices
of true software craftsmanship. This book is packed with practical
advice-about everything from estimating and coding to refactoring
and testing. It covers much more than technique: It is about
attitude. Martin shows how to approach software development with
honor, self-respect, and pride; work well and work clean;
communicate and estimate faithfully; face difficult decisions with
clarity and honesty; and understand that deep knowledge comes with
a responsibility to act. Readers will learn
- What it means to behave as a true software craftsman
- How to deal with conflict, tight schedules, and unreasonable
managers
- How to get into the flow of coding, and get past writer's
block
- How to handle unrelenting pressure and avoid burnout
- How to combine enduring attitudes with new development
paradigms
- How to manage your time, and avoid blind alleys, marshes, bogs,
and swamps
- How to foster environments where programmers and teams can
thrive
- When to say "No"-and how to say it
- When to say "Yes"-and what yes really means
Great software is something to marvel at: powerful, elegant,
functional, a pleasure to work with as both a developer and as a
user. Great software isn't written by machines. It is written by
professionals with an unshakable commitment to craftsmanship. "The
Clean Coder" will help you become one of them-and earn the pride
and fulfillment that they alone possess.

Building upon the success of best-sellers The Clean Coder and Clean
Code, legendary software craftsman Robert C. "Uncle Bob" Martin
shows how to bring greater professionalism and discipline to
application architecture and design. As with his other books,
Martin's Clean Architecture doesn't merely present multiple choices
and options, and say "use your best judgment": it tells you what
choices to make, and why those choices are critical to your
success. Martin offers direct, no-nonsense answers to key
architecture and design questions like: What are the best high
level structures for different kinds of applications, including
web, database, thick-client, console, and embedded apps? What are
the core principles of software architecture? What is the role of
the architect, and what is he/she really trying to achieve? What
are the core principles of software design? How do designs and
architectures go wrong, and what can you do about it? What are the
disciplines and practices of professional architects and designers?
Clean Architecture is essential reading for every software
architect, systems analyst, system designer, and software manager
-- and for any programmer who aspires to these roles or is impacted
by their work.
This multidisciplinary collective volume advances the scholarly
discussion on the origins of Islam. It simultaneously focuses on
three domains: texts, social contexts, and ideological developments
relevant for the study of Islam's beginnings -- taking the latter
expression in its broadest possible sense. The intersections of
these domains need to be examined afresh in order to obtain a clear
picture of the concurrent phenomena that collectively enabled both
the gradual emergence of a new religious identity and the
progressive delimitation of its initially fuzzy boundaries.

A Layperson's Guide to Non-Thing Theory: This book presents a
radical breakthrough in the understanding of the true nature of
negative phenomena which makes all concepts of actual evil
obsolete. It also validates the 'all-positives' observations of
states of ecstasy while simultaneously reconciling them with the
common-sense observations of negatives. This explanation holds true
regardless of whether the ecstasy is spontaneous, religious,
produced by fasting and meditation or induced by drugs like MDMA or
LSD and remains logically consistent even after the ecstatic state
has passed.
