Exit-Architecture. Design Between War and Peace: With a Foreword by Heiner Mühlmann and a Project

Product Description

“First we shape things, then they shape us”, was Churchill’s view. What kind of architecture can be said to shape? Who does it shape? And by what means does it shape? The author’s answers to these questions are a surprise. Through war and proximity to stress. After a tour d’horizon through Roman temples, Washington’s corridors of power and Mecca’s anti-panic architecture it becomes clear that architecture is anything but in the background. Instead it is situated in the hot spot of transmission dynamics and is capable of altering cultures, empires and even religions.

About the Author
Stephan Trüby. Architect, theoretician and curator. Studied architecture at the AA School, London where he also lectured. Since 2001 he has been assistant professor for architectural theory and design at the Institut Grundlagen moderner Architektur, at the University of Stuttgart.

Accelerated C++: Practical Programming by Example (C++ In-Depth Series)
Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional | ISBN: 020170353X | edition 2000 | CHM | 352 pages | 1 mbWhy is Accelerated C++ so effective? Because it
*Starts with the most useful concepts rather than the most primitive ones: You can begin writing programs immediately.
*Describes real problems and solutions, not just language features: You see not only what each feature is, but also how to use it.
*Covers the language and standard library together: You can use the library right from the start.
The authors proved this approach in their professional-education course at Stanford University, where students learned how to write substantial programs on their first day in the classroom.

Digital Integrated Circuits: Analysis and Design
Publisher: CRC | Pages: 720 | 2003-12-15 | ISBN: 084931951X | PDF | 7 MB
There is no field of enterprise today more dynamic or more challenging than Digital Integrated Circuits. But because of its rapid development, the field has quickly outgrown most of the standard textbooks. The field is also decidedly interdisciplinary. Engineers now must understand materials, physics, devices, processing electromagnetics, computer tools, and economics along with circuits and design rules, but few if any texts take the interdisciplinary approach that best prepares students for their future studies and practice.


Author John Ayers designed Digital Integrated Circuits: Analysis and Design to meet three primary objectives: · Take an interdisciplinary approach that will stay relevant for years to come · Provide broad coverage of the field relevant to students interested in designing integrated circuits and to those aiming towards designing with integrated circuits · Focus on the underlying principles rather than the details of current technologies that will soon be obsolete Rich with pedagogical features and supplementary materials, this book appears destined to set a new standard for digital integrated circuits texts. It provides all of the materials you need to offer the best possible course for engineering or computer science students, and it's clear, systematic presentation and wealth of solved examples build the solid, practical foundation today's students need. Prerequisites: Students will need an upper-level undergraduate engineering and science background with courses in circuits, electronics, and digital logic.

Framework Design Guidelines: Conventions, Idioms, and Patterns for Reusable .NET Libraries (2nd Edition) (Microsoft .NET Development Series)
Addison-Wesley Professional | 2008-11-01 | ISBN: 0321545613 | 480 pages | PDF | 40 MB
“ Framework Design Guidelines is one of those rare books that can be read at different reading levels and can be useful to different kinds of developers. Regardless of whether you want to design an effective object model, improve your understanding of the .NET Framework, borrow from the experience of software gurus, stay clear of the most common programming mistakes, or just get an idea of the huge effort that led to the .NET initiative, this book is a must-read.”






–Francesco Balena, The VB Migration Partner Team (www.vbmigration.com), Code Architect, Author, and Microsoft Regional Director, Italy

“ Frameworks are valuable but notoriously difficult to construct: your every decision must be geared toward making them easy to be used correctly and difficult to be used incorrectly. This book takes you through a progression of recommendations that will eliminate many of those downstream ‘I wish I’d known that earlier’ moments. I wish I’d read it earlier.”

–Paul Besly, Principal Technologist, QA

“ Not since Brooks’ The Mythical Man Month has the major software maker of its time produced a book so full of relevant advice for the modern software developer. This book has a permanent place on my bookshelf and I consult it frequently.”

–George Byrkit, Senior Software Engineer, Genomic Solutions

“ Updated for the new language features of the .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5, this book continues to be the definitive resource for .NET developers and architects who are designing class library frameworks. Some of the existing guidelines have been expanded with new annotations and more detail, and new guidance covering such features as extension methods and nullable types has also been included. The guidance will help any developer write clearer and more understandable code, while the annotations provide invaluable insight into some of the design decisions that made the .NET Framework what it is today.”

–Scott Dorman, Microsoft MVP and President, Tampa Bay International Association of Software Architects

“ Filled with information useful to developers and architects of all levels, this book provides practical guidelines and expert background information to get behind the rules. Framework Design Guidelines takes the already published guidelines to a higher level, and it is needed to write applications that integrate well in the .NET area.”

–Cristof Falk, Software Engineer

“ This book is an absolute must read for all .NET developers. It gives clear ‘do’ and ‘don’t’ guidance on how to design class libraries for .NET. It also offers insight into the design and creation of .NET that really helps developers understand the reasons why things are the way they are. This information will aid developers designing their own class libraries and will also allow them to take advantage of the .NET class library more effectively.”

–Jeffrey Richter, Author/Trainer/Consultant, Wintellect

“ The second edition of Framework Design Guidelines gives you new, important insight into designing your own class libraries: Abrams and Cwalina frankly discuss the challenges of adding new features to shipping versions of their products with minimal impact on existing code. You’ll find great examples of how to create version N+1 of your software by learning how the .NET class library team

created versions 2.0, 3.0, and 3.5 of the .NET library. They were able to add generics, WCF, WPF, WF, and LINQ with minimal impact on the existing APIs, even providing capabilities for customers wanting to use only some of the new features, while still maintaining compatibility with the original library.”

–Bill Wagner, Founder and Consultant, SRT Solutions, author of Effective C# and More Effective C#

“ This book is a must read for all architects and software developers thinking about frameworks. The book offers insight into some driving factors behind the design of the .NET Framework. It should be considered mandatory reading for anybody tasked with creating application frameworks.”

–Peter Winkler, Sr. Software Engineer, Balance Technology Inc.

“An instant classic.”

–From the Foreword by Miguel de Icaza

Framework Design Guidelines, Second Edition, teaches developers the best practices for designing reusable libraries for the Microsoft .NET Framework. Expanded and updated for .NET 3.5, this new edition focuses on the design issues that directly affect the programmability of a class library, specifically its publicly accessible APIs.

This book can improve the work of any .NET developer producing code that other developers will use. It includes copious annotations to the guidelines by thirty-five prominent architects and practitioners of the .NET Framework, providing a lively discussion of the reasons for the guidelines as well as examples of when to break those guidelines.

Microsoft architects Krzysztof Cwalina and Brad Abrams teach framework design from the top down. From their significant combined experience and deep insight, you will learn

* The general philosophy and fundamental principles of framework design
* Naming guidelines for the various parts of a framework
* Guidelines for the design and extending of types and members of types
* Issues affecting–and guidelines for ensuring–extensibility
* How (and how not) to design exceptions
* Guidelines for–and examples of–common framework design patterns

Guidelines in this book are presented in four major forms: Do, Consider, Avoid, and Do not. These directives help focus attention on practices that should always be used, those that should generally be used, those that should rarely be used, and those that should never be used. Every guideline includes a discussion of its applicability, and most include a code example to help illuminate the dialogue.

Framework Design Guidelines, Second Edition, is the only definitive source of best practices for managed code API development, direct from the architects themselves.

A companion DVD includes the Designing .NET Class Libraries video series, instructional presentations by the authors on design guidelines for developing classes and components that extend the .NET Framework. A sample API specification and other useful resources and tools are also included.



Summary: A Must not Only For .NET Developers...
Rating: 5

Also if you're thinking on developing a framework on any Object Oriented language, this is your book, it covers all the guidelines that makes a framework usable and powerful.


Summary: must read
Rating: 4

Good to see the way how they created the framework, what makes them to apply these rules and patterns. This book expanded my .net world and I was pondering over the design many times.


Summary: Great read for anyone who designs APIs for external users
Rating: 4

I build a product for users that has a large and complicated API. Over the years the API has grown sort of as the users needed it, and as the developers working on it thought of things. As a result you end up with one designers version of a variable called IsSet and another in another class called Active. The little things in an API (like consistent naming) make a big difference to users. So I was interested when I saw this book was from the Dot Net team.

The book is a series of guidelines, and then callouts from various contributors to the framework of why they like or dislike the rule. And in some cases very frank revelations about where they broke the rule and have now come to regret it. I like that format as most of the authors seemed to be very willing to discuss the frameworks mess ups and not just point to the parts they got right. It makes it seem much more human and approachable to me now.

There is not a lot of examples in the book though, it is mostly about building a style and set of guidelines for your application framework. I think this would make a great read for entry level programmers to help them understand the why you don't allow them to change the way things are exposed publicly, or to programmers who are looking to start designing APIs and are just looking for guidance. It is not a concrete how to build an API for doing "sometask". It is all about the theory behind API design and why you should employ the rules.

I have experienced many of the pains they explain in the book first hand (especially about Interfaces). Wish I would have read it before I released the first version of our API. I am implementing some changes based upon what I have read here, so it is definately a worthy book for those looking to take their design skills a little further.


Summary: A must-have personal favorite
Rating: 5

If you haven't bought this book yet, you really should. The first edition has been an invaluable asset to me on a number of past projects, and the second edition is even better with sections on newer language and framework features such as Linq and extension methods.

I've seen, read, and even written a few standards documents in my time as a professional programmer, and I think this book is the last one I'll be needing. The format of the book is one I always enjoyed, with the guidance interspersed with comments from the "peanut gallery" of Microsoft architects. These asides give you a lot of insight into the "why"s, something which a lot of standards documents are missing (I'm talking about YOU, IDesign). It's one thing to be told to do something in a particular way, but it's a lot better when you are taught why. Simple coding patterns that I wouldn't have given a second thought to have turned out to have a great impact on other aspect of my code once they were explained.

The basics are covered, such as naming and formatting standards, but the book goes much further with sections about when and how to use certain interfaces, and provides some brief explanations of common design patterns as they relate to the .net framework. I'm not talking about "Visitor" or "Model View Presenter" here, I'm talking about "IDisposable"... muuuch lower level stuff.

Basically, this book isn't just about what you ought to be doing, it's about explaining why Microsoft did what they did in the .net framework. It's refreshing at times in the book to find a discussion about how something was a bad choice in retrospect, or how the framework designers wished they had done something differently knowing then what they know now. I feel a lot better about my own changes of mind, and less like an amateur for not having seen the eventual solution in the beginning. After reading it, I'm more comfortable that I've made the right career decision to stick with this programming stuff.

Another great asset included with this book is the DVD. It's full of training sessions and example API specifications. One of the first things I did with the previous edition was to convert all the videos to play on my Zune, and spent the next few weeks watching through them whenever I got the chance. I probably won't watch them all over again, since I think they're the same videos, but they're definitely worth the watching.


Summary: A complete college course for the price of a book
Rating: 5

If you are doing .NET development, you must have this book by your side. It is a great reference and it is very readable. It is great to just flip through and pick out a topic or to read from start to finish.

The knowledge the notes included by industry leaders provide great insight into the 'why' of the decision to do what they did. They also point out the mistakes made in the framework design that often lead to confusion when using the framework.

It stands as our coding standard on our team for framework development. It gives our team a solid base of information to refer to, especially when arguing about religious issues and doing code reviews.

The CD includes classes (videos) that teach every chapter of the book. It is like getting a complete college course for the price of a book.

If you don't have this on your shelf or in your backpack, do not bother interviewing for my team.

With more than 67% of web servers running Apache, it is by far the most widely used web server platform in the world. Apache has evolved into a powerful system that easily rivals other HTTP servers in terms of functionality, efficiency, and speed. Despite these impressive capabilities, though, Apache is only a beneficial tool if it's a secure one. To be sure, administrators installing and configuring Apache still need a sure-fire way to secure it--whether it's running a huge e-commerce operation, corporate intranet, or just a small hobby site.

Implicit Curves and Surfaces: Mathematics, Data Structures and Algorithms
Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 184882405X | edition 2009 | PDF | 366 pages | 66,29 mb
Implicit objects have gained increasing importance in geometric modeling, visualisation, animation, and computer graphics, because their geometric properties provide a good alternative to traditional parametric objects. This book presents the mathematics, computational methods and data structures, as well as the algorithms needed to render implicit curves and surfaces, and shows how implicit objects can easily describe smooth, intricate, and articulatable shapes, and hence why they are being increasingly used in graphical applications.


Divided into two parts, the first introduces the mathematics of implicit curves and surfaces, as well as the data structures suited to store their sampled or discrete approximations, and the second deals with different computational methods for sampling implicit curves and surfaces, with particular reference to how these are applied to functions in 2D and 3D spaces.
