В процессе своей деятельности практически каждому разработчику ПО и менеджеру придется столкнуться с проектами, характеризующимися никуда не годными персоналом, планом и бюджетом, т.е. проектами, обреченными на неудачу. В условиях реинжиниринга деятельности корпораций безнадежные проекты становятся «стилем жизни» многих организаций. Книга Эдварда Йордона является руководством по решению таких проблем, как:выживание в проектах, обреченных на неудачу достижение оптимальных соглашений в переговорах управление персоналом и расстановка приоритетов выбор средств и технологий определение момента, когда пора выйти из проекта. Эдвард Йордон применяет свою уникальную технологию и интуицию менеджера к наихудшим вариантам софтверных проектов, показывая, как сделать ваши шансы на успех максимальными, или, по крайней мере, как обрести уверенность, что ваша карьера не пострадает. Йордон проходит шаг за шагом по всем стадиям жизненного цикла проекта, показывая менеджерам и разработчикам, как правильно вести себя с политиками и как максимально использовать доступные ресурсы, включая людей, средства, процессы и технологию. Учитесь проявлять необходимую гибкость при проведении переговоров, расставлять осмысленные приоритеты -- и вовремя выходить из проекта. Если вам когда-либо требовалось совершить невозможное, то «Путь камикадзе» — это книга именно для вас.

The demand for quickly delivering new applications is increasingly becoming a business imperative today. Application development is often done in an ad hoc manner, without standard frameworks or libraries, thus resulting in poor reuse of software assets.Показать полностьюThe demand for quickly delivering new applications is increasingly becoming a business imperative today. Application development is often done in an ad hoc manner, without standard frameworks or libraries, thus resulting in poor reuse of software assets. Web services have received much interest in industry due to their potential in facilitating seamless business-to-business or enterprise application integration. A web services composition tool can help automate the process, from creating business process functionality, to developing executable work ows, to deploying them on an execution environment. However, we and that the main approaches taken thus far to standardize and compose web services are piecemeal and insucient. The business world has adopted a (distributed) programming approach in which web service instances are described using WSDL, composed into ows with a language like BPEL and invoked with the SOAP protocol. Academia has propounded the AI approach of formally representing web service capabilities in ontologies, and reasoning about their composition using goal-oriented inferencing techniques from planning. We present the rst integrated work in composing web services end to end from specifcation to deployment by synergistically combining the strengths of the above approaches. We describe a prototype service creation environment along with a use-case scenario, and demonstrate how it can signicantly speed up the time-to-market for new services.

Aimed at the working ASP developer who wants to move to Microsoft .NET, ASP.NET Unleashed: Web Developers Guide offers an excellent example-based programming tutorial.Показать полностьюAimed at the working ASP developer who wants to move to Microsoft .NET, ASP.NET Unleashed: Web Developers Guide offers an excellent example-based programming tutorial. With its strong practical focus, this title offers an excellent choice for learning ASP.NET quickly. Most every computer book uses examples illustrating programming concepts, but this text does an exceptional job at efficiently presenting key examples that will be necessary for anyone moving from ASP to ASP.NET. After a brief tour of the history of ASP since version 1.0 and a quick overview of the advantages of ASP.NET, the author turns to essential APIs and programming strategies. Useful material here includes some valuable techniques for working with session and application objects (and new events available with these classes), plus a nicely comprehensive guide to all the XML configuration settings used in ASP.NET and what they're good for. A series of chapters on the built-in ASP.NET (and simpler HTML) server controls will give you a working vocabulary of basic Web programming techniques. Later chapters explore specific areas of .NET functionality like ADO.NET, XML support (including a solid introduction to the often bewildering world of XML standards and the classes used to manipulate them in .NET). Coverage of Web services shows off this brand-new option for creating distributed Web applications. This volume’s final sections present three small, complete applications (for a guest book, shopping cart, and message board). Besides illustrating essential ASP.NET APIs and techniques introduced earlier on, the sample code can serve as a basis to add these features to your custom applications. With such a large number of new ASP.NET APIs to master, this title strikes a great balance between describing essential APIs and real code that shows them at work. In all, its efficient format makes this title a perfect resource for busy working developers who want to get up to speed on the new ASP.NET fast. --Richard Dragan

Creating Web pages isn't just for nerds anymore — far from it. You can't get far in any hobby without participating in its Web community; even the smallest businesses need good-looking, functional Web sites.Показать полностьюCreating Web pages isn't just for nerds anymore — far from it. You can't get far in any hobby without participating in its Web community; even the smallest businesses need good-looking, functional Web sites. Those facts mean you must be able to do your own site-building work, and Creating Web Pages for Dummies exists to share the skills you need to learn. This book goes a long way toward explaining Web publishing to newcomers to the field. It is not, however, much of an introduction to Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or any other site development language, and you'll soon find yourself wishing for more information on the low-level code that makes your pages look and act the way they do. Instead of focusing on HTML (see Elizabeth Castro’s excellent HTML 4 for the World Wide Web for that), this book emphasizes Web services (such as America Online and GeoCities) that will help you publish your pages, as well as page-design software (such as Microsoft FrontPage Express and Netscape Composer). Coverage is generally too basic — the logic is that if you're thinking about publishing your own Web pages you don't need step-by-step instructions on how to enter body text into FrontPage Express. General advice is good, however, and prospective page creators can learn a thing or two about good page design from the authors' advice.

Here at last is a guide devoted to just that topic. Combining quick tips for improving deliverables with in-depth discussions of presentation and risk mitigation techniques, author Dan Brown shows you how to make the documentation you're required to provide into the most efficient communications tool possible. He begins with an introductory section about deliverables and their place in the overall process, and then delves into to the different types of deliverables. From usability reports to project plans, content maps, flow charts, wireframes, site maps, and more, each chapter includes a contents checklist, presentation strategy, maintenance strategy, a description of the development process and the deliverable’s impact on the project, and more.
