Programmers use design patterns to organize objects in programs, making them easier to write and modify. <b><i>C# Design Patterns: A Tutorial</i></b> is a practical guide to writing C# programs using the most common patterns.</p><p>This tutorial begins with clear and concise introductions to C#, object-oriented programming and inheritance, and UML diagrams. Each chapter that follows describes one of twenty-three design patterns, recommends when to use it, and explains the impact that it will have on the larger design. The use of every pattern is demonstrated with simple example programs. These programs are illustrated with screen shots and UML diagrams displaying how the classes interact. Each of these programs is available on the companion CD-ROM and can be run, examined, edited, and applied.</p><p>Design patterns will have an immediate impact on your work as you learn the following:</p><li>Applying design patterns effectively in your day-to-day programming</li> <li>Using patterns to create sophisticated, robust C# programs</li> <li>The interaction of classes as demonstrated by UML diagrams</li> <li>Advancing your programming skills using design patterns</li><p>Design patterns will not only enhance your productivity, but once you see how quickly and easily object-oriented code can be recycled, they will become an everyday part of your C# programming.</p><p>0201844532B05232002http://www.lybrary.com/design-patterns-tutorial-p-79688.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/design-patterns-tutorial-p-79688.htmlSun, 25 Jul 2010 00:00:00 EDT <b>A fully updated guide to the how and why of using Twitter</b><p>The fastest-growing social network utility sports new features, and they're all covered in this how-to guide from a leading Twitter marketing consultant.

As society becomes more and more technologically advanced, people are seeking new ways to interact. Humans are social creatures. Relationships and community are vital to our survival and our mental and emotional health. Writers, published and unpublished, fiction and non-fiction are hearing words like platform and brand with increasing frequency as the publishing paradigm shifts into the 21st century. The world around us is changing faster than ever, and publishing is certainly not immune. There are more opportunities for a new author today than there has been in the entirety of human history. Yet, the flip side of that reality is, with thousands and thousands of authors with books and blogs, how can a writer ever hope to stand apart let alone succeed? This book will show you how. There are countless social media experts, but Kristen's system is specifically designed to meet the unique needs of a writer. Take charge of your future today. You have great books to write, and don't have time for rookie mistakes that can cost you years of rebuilding your name, brand, and platform. Kristen's method is simple, effective, and helps you harness that same creativity you apply to your writing and harness it to build you social media platform. Best part is you don't even have to be a computer expert or know anything about sales. This system is designed to change the writer's approach, not the writer's personality. And the best part is you have help. Remember, We Are Not Alone.http://www.lybrary.com/alone-writers-guide-social-media-p-79599.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/alone-writers-guide-social-media-p-79599.htmlSun, 25 Jul 2010 00:00:00 EDT <p>If you are a programmer, you need this book.</p><ul> <li>You've got a day to add a new feature in a 34,000-line program: Where do you start? <i>Page 333</i></li> <li>How can you understand and simplify an inscrutable piece of code? <i>Page 39</i></li> <li>Where do you start when disentangling a complicated build process? <i>Page 167</i> </li> <li>How do you comprehend code that appears to be doing five things in parallel? <i>Page 132</i></li></ul><p>You may read code because you have to--to fix it, inspect it, or improve it.

This book teaches readers how to take that theme or emotion they had when they first shot the image, and carry it through to the development process in Lightroom. After discussing this crucial process of bringing the photographer's intention and vision to Lightroom, duChemin first gives the readers a quick look at Lightroom's Develop module, explaining the features and settings--not only in how they work but in what aesthetic effects they have on an image. duChemin then reveals his personal process for developing images in Lightroom, as he works through 20 images, beginning with the RAW digital negative and finishing with the final, developed image ready to share.<p>This book is not an exhaustive overview or tour of Lightroom. Instead, duChemin takes a unique approach by concentrating solely on the Develop module, the component of Lightroom where a photographer has the most powerful tools to bring their vision and voice to the image.http://www.lybrary.com/vision-voice-refining-your-vision-adobe-photoshop-lightroom-p-79573.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/vision-voice-refining-your-vision-adobe-photoshop-lightroom-p-79573.htmlSun, 25 Jul 2010 00:00:00 EDT <p>Templates are among the most powerful features of C++, but they are too often neglected, misunderstood, and misused. <b>C++ Templates: The Complete Guide</b> provides software architects and engineers with a clear understanding of why, when, and how to use templates to build and maintain cleaner, faster, and smarter software more efficiently.</p><p><b>C++ Templates</b> begins with an insightful tutorial on basic concepts and language features.

However, figuring out how to tell it interactively-and in a way that keeps your audience coming back for more-can be challenging. Here to help you out (and to open your mind to ever more creative ways of producing those stories) is the man who created the cult publication <b>The Art of Computer Game Design</b> and who has devoted much of his career to that very topic: <B>Chris Crawford.</B> To highlight the path for future gains in the quest for a truly interactive story, Chris provides a solid sampling of what doesn't work, contrasting unsuccessful methodologies with those that hold promise for the future. Throughout you'll find examples of contemporary games that rely on different technologies-and learn the storytelling lessons to be garnered from each of the past methodologies.

In this latest version for Lightroom 3, Scott uses his same step-by-step, plain-English style and layout to make learning Lightroom easy and fun. Scott doesn't just show you which sliders do what. Instead, by using the following three simple, yet brilliant, techniques that make it just an incredible learning tool, this book shows you how to create your own photography workflow using Lightroom:<p>1) Scott shares his own personal settings and studio-tested techniques. He trains thousands of Lightroom users at his "Lightroom Live!" tour and knows first hand what really works and what doesn't.<p>2) The entire book is laid out in a real workflow order with everything step by step, so you can begin using Lightroom like a pro from the start.<p>3) What really sets this book apart are the last two chapters. This is where Scott dramatically answers his #1 most-asked Lightroom question, which is: "Exactly what order am I supposed to do things in, and where does Photoshop fit in?" Plus, this is the first version of the book that includes his famous "7-Point System for Lightroom," which lets you focus on mastering just the seven most important editing techniques.<p><i>The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 Book for Digital Photographers</i> is the first and only book to bring the whole process together in such a clear, concise, and visual way.http://www.lybrary.com/adobe-photoshop-lightroom-book-digital-photographers-p-79416.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/adobe-photoshop-lightroom-book-digital-photographers-p-79416.htmlSun, 25 Jul 2010 00:00:00 EDT The official "Fedora 13 Security Guide" is designed to assist users of Fedora, a Linux distribution built on free and open source software, in learning the processes and practices of securing workstations and servers against local and remote intrusion, exploitation, and malicious activity.http://www.lybrary.com/fedora-security-guide-p-79413.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/fedora-security-guide-p-79413.htmlSun, 25 Jul 2010 00:00:00 EDT The official "Fedora 13 User Guide" is focused on the end-user looking to accomplish standard desktop computer user tasks, such as browsing the web, reading and sending email, and doing office productivity work.http://www.lybrary.com/fedora-user-guide-p-79412.htmlhttp://www.lybrary.com/fedora-user-guide-p-79412.htmlSun, 25 Jul 2010 00:00:00 EDT
