Constructive Thinking: The Key to Emotional Intelligence

Praeger Paperback | ISBN / ASIN: 027595885X | 1998-08-30 | 304 pages | PDF | 4.38 MB

Most people believe their emotions are automatic reactions to events. Events happen and trigger emotions, and that is all there is to it. Few realize that their emotions are determined by what they think, by how they interpret the events, and not by the events themselves. As Epstein demonstrates throughout the book, this insight provides a powerful tool for controlling emotions and becoming the type of person one wants to be. To a considerable extent this book stresses the techniques of cognitive therapy and how they can be utilized in everyday life. Epstein goes beyond this, however, to provide a theory of personality based on a new and effective view of the unconscious. Many readers will find the "how-to" features sufficient for their purposes; professionals and students in psychology, however, will find the principles set forth useful in their own teaching and research.

The Handbook of Good English

Facts on File | ISBN / ASIN: 0816027110 | 1991-09 | 448 pages | PDF | 3.38 MB
The [BEST] Handbook of Good English

As a professional advertising copywriter and English major, I have all the authoritative books on grammar, punctuation and usage, but "The Handbook of Good English" is my go-to source. (My major professor turned me on to it years ago; I just ordered a new copy to replace my original, which was borrowed and not returned.) Highly practical, eminently readable, easy to use and understand, and far more comprehensive than Strunk & White's "The Elements of Style," this is the one book everyone who writes for a living or just writes, period, should have it on their shelf.

Test Driven: TDD and Acceptance TDD for Java Developers

Lasse Koskela, Test Driven: TDD and Acceptance TDD for Java Developers
Manning Publications | ISBN: 1932394850 | October 15, 2007 | 470 pages | PDF | 4.5 MB

In test driven development, you first write an executable test of what your application code must do. Only then do you write the code itself and, with the test spurring you on, you improve your design. In acceptance test driven development (ATDD), you use the same technique to implement product features, benefiting from iterative development, rapid feedback cycles, and better-defined requirements. TDD and its supporting tools and techniques lead to better software faster.

Test Driven brings under one cover practical TDD techniques distilled from several years of community experience. With examples in Java and the Java EE environment, it explores both the techniques and the mindset of TDD and ATDD. It uses carefully chosen examples to illustrate TDD tools and design patterns, not in the abstract but concretely in the context of the technologies you face at work. It is accessible to TDD beginners, and it offers effective and less well known techniques to older TDD hands.

What's Inside

• Learn hands-on to test drive Java code
• How to avoid common TDD adoption pitfalls
• Acceptance test driven development and the Fit framework
• How to test Java EE components-Servlets, JSPs, and Spring Controllers
• Tough issues like multithreaded programs and data access code

XQuery

Priscilla Walmsley, "XQuery"

O'Reilly Media | ISBN: 0596006349 | March 30, 2007 | 510 pages | PDF | 1.7 MB

With the XQuery 1.0 standard, you finally have a tool that will make it much easier to search, extract and manipulate information from XML content stored in databases. This in-depth tutorial not only walks you through the XQuery specification, but also teaches you how to program with this widely anticipated query language.

XQuery is for query writers who have some knowledge of XML basics, but not necessarily advanced knowledge of XML-related technologies. It can be used both as a tutorial, by reading cover to cover, and as a reference, by using the comprehensive index and appendixes. Either way, you will find the background knowledge in namespaces, schemas, built-in types and regular expressions that is relevant to writing XML queries. This book provides:

• A high-level overview and quick tour of XQuery
• Information to write sophisticated queries, without being bogged down by the details of types, namespaces, and schemas
• Advanced concepts for users who want to take advantage of modularity, namespaces, typing and schemas
• Guidelines for working with specific types of data, such as numbers, strings, dates, URIs and processing instructions
• A complete alphabetical reference to the built-in functions and types

You will also learn about XQuery's support for filtering, sorting, and grouping data, as well as how to use FLWOR expressions, XPath, and XQuery tools for extracting and combining information. With this book, you will discover how to apply all of these tools to a wide variety of data sources, and how to recombine information from multiple sources into a single final output result.

Whether you're coming from SQL, XSLT, or starting from scratch, this carefully paced tutorial takes you through the final 1.0 standard in detail.
