Book Synopsis* Treats LISP as a language for commercial applications, not a language for academic AI concerns. This could be considered to be a secondary text for the Lisp course that most schools teach . This would appeal to students who sat through a LISP course in college without quite getting it – so a "nostalgia" approach, as in "wow-lisp can be practical…" * Discusses the Lisp programming model and environment. Contains an introduction to the language and gives a thorough overview of all of Common Lisp’s main features. * Designed for experienced programmers no matter what languages they may be coming from and written for a modern audience—programmers who are familiar with languages like Java, Python, and Perl. * Includes several examples of working code that actually does something useful like Web programming and database access.

Book SynopsisThe Software Factory methodology is based on recognition of these similarities and a drive to extend the concept of "reusability" to the point where we achieve entirely automated product lines. Based on an analysis and understanding of the common features and techniques of a set of applications, a Software Factory defines a tailored, end-to-end methodology for building these applications. At the heart of the Software factory methodology is the concept of Domain Specific Languages (DSLs), which in essence are development environments specifically tailored to the set of applications in hand. It removes a certain degree of flexibility but greatly enhances productivity by removing a lot of the coding complexity (for an analogy, consider the use of the now ubiquitous drag-and-drop controls in Winforms or Visual Basic). Further, in the SF methodology, patterns, process advice, and best practices can be harvested and applied for all applications in the set. There are some good books on the theory of SF already on the market. Up until this point, a lot of these concepts were fairly theoretical and abstract.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "The purpose of this work is to introduce and demystify the concept of software factories in the .NET environment. … The book covers both the theory and practice of software factories, including an acknowledgment of the genesis of the term in the late 1960s. … this book is recommended reading for people involved in the management of large software development groups, particularly ones that develop many similar products. It provides a good theoretical discussion, and practical illustration … in the creation of software solutions." (Neil D. Burgess, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (3), March, 2008)Table of ContentsA table of contents is not available for this title.

Book SynopsisFounders at Work recounts the early struggles for independence and acceptance of many of modern technology’s giants, through personal interviews that are at times hilarious, at times painful, and always inspiring. As human-interest stories they will interest the same audience that enjoys reading about the Google founders in PEOPLE magazine. These stories are exceptionally interesting, because they're about the early stages, when the founders were younger and inexperienced. Most readers know startup founders only as confident millionaires. As novices trying to find their way by trial and error, they're more human, and easier for the reader to identify with.Table of ContentsA table of contents is not available for this title.
