I love that I’ve been able to write a book about projects in iMovie.
Editing video, after all, is a project in many ways. It often requires a
good deal of time and attention to detail. It’s something you elect to
do, probably in your spare time, because you want to document
what happened at an event, or preserve memories,...
AS A PROCES S IMPROVEMENT professional, I have experienced many team
challenges. Big challenges. It is not unusual to see teams that seem so perfectly
compatible start in excitement only to fizzle in different directions and
end up not working together. Products suffer, customers suffer, and ultimately...
Are you a software developer? Are you interested in how build systems work?
You’re reading this book; so there’s a good chance you answered “Yes” to both
questions. On the other hand, many software developers aren’t interested in
how their program is compiled. Most people just want to press a button and...
When Photoshop Elements was first released back in 2001, it became a
runaway success. It’s easy to see why: Elements gives people all the tools
they need to get the very best from their photographs. It lets you take a
ho-hum shot and give it some wow. If you run a graphics studio or a large professional...
Experimental methods for diffraction and microscopy are pushing the front
edge of nanoscience and materials science, and important new developments
are covered in this third edition. For transmission electron microscopy, a remarkable
recent development has been a practical corrector for the spherical
aberration of the objective...
Have you ever sat down and had an open discussion over coffee with an industrial chemist
or chemical technician about his or her work? Have you ever “shadowed” a chemist or a
chemical technician for a day as he or she went about the daily routine in an industrial
or government laboratory? If you have done these things,...
Developers continuously strive to achieve higher levels of source code quality. It
is the holy grail in the software development industry. Sonar is an all-out platform
confronting quality from numerous aspects as it covers quality on seven axes,
provides an abundance of hunting tools to pinpoint code defects, and continuously...
Software development is hard. Testing that software is hard, too. And when you talk about development and testing at the scale of the entire web, you are talking about Google. If you are interested in how one of the biggest names in the Internet handles such large-scale testing, then you have found the right...
Ceramics and ceramic composites are now used in almost all areas of technology.
Consequently, it is becoming increasingly important to study polished sections of
these materials in industrial laboratories by means of optical microscopes and scanning
electron microscopes. In some cases, the experience required for the preparation...
Given that you’re reading this book, the chances are good that you’ve built a
web page in HTML. You’ve styled it by using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
and maybe written a little JavaScript to validate your custom-built web
forms. If that wasn’t enough, you’ve learned a lot more...
Information security is the act of protecting information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction. This book discusses why information security is needed and how security problems can have widespread impacts. It covers the complete security lifecycle of products and services, starting with...
It’s often difficult to predict which areas of a field will become rejuvenated and grow rapidly or spin off to fit with another to form something new. The field of electro-optics is also unpredictable, but currently it has numerous forces acting on it. First is the development of new optical sources such as ultrafast lasers and fiber...
