Smart web developers will tell you that the sooner you detect your code mistakes, the quicker you can fix them, and the less the project will cost in the long run. Well, the most efficient way to detect your mistakes in PHP is with PHPUnit, an open source framework that automates unit testing by running a battery of tests as you go. The benefits of PHPUnit are significant, they are: a reduction in the effort required to frequently test code; fewer overall defects; added confidence in your code; and improved relations with your open source teammates. The only problem with this popular testing tool was its lack of documentation-until now, that is. For this, "O'Reilly" went right to the source, as Sebastian Bergmann, the author of "PHPUnit Pocket Guide", also happens to be PHPUnit's creator. This little book brings together hard-to-remember information, syntax, and rules for working with PHPUnit. It also delivers the insight and sage advice that can only come from the technology's creator. The coverage of testing under agile methodologies and Extreme Programming (XP) is also included. The latest in "O'Reilly's" series of handy Pocket Guides, this quick-reference book puts all the answers are right at your fingertips. It's an invaluable companion for anyone interested in testing the PHP code they write for web applications.

‘This is a very, very smart book. It makes Freud accessible, interesting and relevant.’ - Ruby WaxSigmund Freud is rightly called the godfather of psychoanalysis. He forever changed the way we view ourselves and developed our understanding of human nature. His concepts have become part of our psychological vocabulary: unconscious thoughts and feelings, conflict, the meaning of dreams, the sensuality of childhood. He dared to try new methods and treatments. Everyone knows the term Freudian slip and has a basic understanding of his theories, however, Freud gave us a great deal more. From education to critical theory he changed the way we think. His ideas and clinical practices offer psychological insights that bring help and healing. Freud's work has suffused contemporary Western thought and popular culture. He is the epitome of a pocket GIANT.

Dieses Buch ist ein Bestimmungsatlas, der hilft, Minerale, Gesteine und die wichtigsten Fossilgruppen im Gelände zu erkennen und zu beschreiben. Aber nicht nur das. Zusätzlich wird eine Reihe von wichtigen geologischen Strukturen beschrieben und in zahlreichen Fotos dargestellt. Dadurch werden Sie eingeladen, die Geologie hinter Landschaften und Gesteinen draußen im Gelände aufzuspüren. Denn die Geologie ist eine Wissenschaft, die erst richtig lebendig wird beim Wandern in der Natur, z. B. an der Küste oder durch Nationalparks. Mit wenig Wissen werde Sie die Landschaft anders erleben. Die Gesteine werden quasi lebendig und Sie werden die Geschichte wie ein Buch lesen können und die Vielfalt und Komplexität von geologischen Prozessen verstehen. Solche Prozesse – ein Wechselspiel von Magmatismus, Tektonik, Metamorphose, Klima und Sedimentation – haben die heutige Erdoberfläche geformt. Das Buch wendet sich an die geologisch interessierten Leser und Studierende, denen das Werk als Begleiter bei Ausflügen durch die Natur gute Dienste leisten wird.
