The Cognitive Dynamics of Computer Science: Cost-Effective Large Scale Software Development
By Szabolcs de Gyurky

* Publisher: Wiley-IEEE Computer Society Pr
* Number Of Pages: 292
* Publication Date: 2006-07-31
* Sales Rank: 1066182
* ISBN / ASIN: 0471970476
* EAN: 9780471970477
* Binding: Hardcover
* Manufacturer: Wiley-IEEE Computer Society Pr
* Studio: Wiley-IEEE Computer Society Pr Book Description:
A groundbreaking, unifying theory of computer science for low-cost, high-quality software


The Cognitive Dynamics of Computer Science represents the culmination of more than thirty years of the author's hands-on experience in software development, which has resulted in a remarkable and sensible philosophy and practice of software development. It provides a groundbreaking ontology of computer science, while describing the processes, methodologies, and constructs needed to build high-quality, large-scale computer software systems on schedule and on budget.

Based on his own experience in developing successful, low-cost software projects, the author makes a persuasive argument for developers to understand the philosophical underpinnings of software. He asserts that software in reality is an abstraction of the human thought system. The author draws from the seminal works of the great German philosophers--Kant, Hegel, and Schopenhauer--and recasts their theories of human mind and thought to create a unifying theory of computer science, cognitive dynamics, that opens the door to the next generation of computer science and forms the basic architecture for total autonomy.
* Four detailed cases studies effectively demonstrate how philosophy and practice merge to meet the objective of high-quality, low-cost software.
* The Autonomous Cognitive System chapter sets forth a model for a completely autonomous computer system, using the human thought system as the model for functional architecture and the human thought process as the model for the functional data process.
* Although rooted in philosophy, this book is practical, addressing all the key areas that software professionals need to master in order to remain competitive and minimize costs, such as leadership, management, communication, and organization.

This thought-provoking work will change the way students and professionals in computer science and software development conceptualize and perform their work. It provides them with both a philosophy and a set of practical tools to produce high-quality, low-cost software

Spring Into Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Spring Into... Series)

Helpful descriptions of what XP SP2 allows you to do

This book contains a series of one or two page descriptions of features found in Windows XP service pack two. While some of them were familiar to me, many were not. Most of them were things that I needed to do, but had not ever gotten around to learning. All were simple, such as how to delete the feature of XP wanting to send a bug report to Microsoft every time the computer crashes. Other features that I found valuable and implemented when I read them were:

*) Clearing Autocomplete.
*) Testing the backward compatibility of programs.
*) Disabling pop-up balloons.
*) Stop automatically adding addresses to your address book.
*) Editing the start menu.
*) Customizing explorer.
*) Setting the properties of the recycle bin.
*) Setting the startup options.

None of these operations requires a great deal of technical knowledge, if you can navigate your way through windows and understand basic computer operations, you can make these changes. I found them very helpful; in fact I incorporated a few of them into exercises that I gave my networking students this spring semester.

The power of the Web lies in the fact that anyone and everyone can access it, and this should also extend to users with disabilities. Accessibility is about making websites accessible to those with aural, visual, or physical disabilities, or rather, constructing websites that dont exclude these people from accessing the content or services provided.

This isn't difficult to accomplish and doesn't require anything more than your normal tool set-HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Flash, or whatever else. All you need to do is use these tools in the right way, and bear in mind the guidelines that exist to help you keep your websites accessible and the laws that enforce web accessibility around the world.

This book gives you all you need to know about web accessibility, whether you are a web designer or developer who wants your sites to be accessible, or a business manager who wants to learn what impact the web accessibility laws have on your websites.

After an overview of the accessibility law and guidelines, and a discussion about accessibility and its implementation in the enterprise, the book goes on to show how to implement accessible websites using a combination of concise references and easy-to-follow examples, covering:

• Understanding assistive technologies
• Creating accessible content using XHTML, JavaScript, CSS, Flash, and PDFs
• Testing against WCAG (including 2.0) and Section 508
• Retrofitting inaccessible sites where necessary

The book concludes with an in-depth analysis of accessibility law around the world. If youre concerned about the legal and moral implications of web accessibility, then this book is perfect for you. It is written by some of the world's experts on accessibility, leaving you in good hands.
