Paperback. Very Good., 3, Paperback. Good., 2.5, Very Good. If anything, this volume's premise--that the business of Web design is one of constant change-has only proven truer over time. So much so, in fact, that the 12-month design cycles cited in the last edition have shrunk to 6 or even 3 months today. Which is why, more than ever, you need a smart, practical guide that demonstrates how to plan, budget, organize, and manage your Web redesign - or even you initial design - projects from conceptualization to launch. This volume delivers! In these pages Web designer extraordinaire Kelly Goto and coauthor Emily Cotler have distilled their real-world experience into a sound approach to Web redesign workflow that is as much about business priorities as it is about good design. By focusing on where these priorities intersect, Kelly and Emily get straight to the heart of the matter. Each chapter includes a case study that illustrates a key step in the process, and you'll find a plethora of forms, checklists, and worksheets that help you put knowledge into action.This is an AIGA Design Press book published under Peachpit's New Riders imprint in partnership with AIGA., 3, New York. 1982.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Maria Luisa Bombal was one of the most important Latin American writers of this century. It is ironic that while a younger generation of Hispanic writers has attained a well-merited celebrity in this country, the work of Bombal-which in many ways anticipates that of writers like Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel Garcia Márquez, and JosE Donoso -has remained unknown to the English-speaking public. The stories in NEW ISLANDS, written in the 1940s, represent the best of Bombal's work, now at last available in the United States. Bombal blends the baroque sensibility that so characterizes the Latin American novel with an absolute precision of expression, Her stories are perfect little gems, models of the way an artist consciously crafts a work, Every word, every effect, however lush and extravagant, is evidence of an artist in perfect control of her material, Bombal is a virtuoso of language, but her stories are more than exercises in style, for they are concerned with the plight of women trapped-as women have so often been-in situations not of their own making. Bombal is no sentimentalist. The lives of her characters are all the more evocative and haunting, all the more universal, be- cause these women are flawed human beings, at times irrational, often accomplices in their own subjugation. These stories, richly distilling passion and fear, are the precursors of a modern feminist sensibility, a new kind of writing about women by women. inventory #12946 ISBN: 0374221189., 0, Used - Good.

This guide gives readers more control ov er the development of their projects, enabling them to deliver a software project on time and under budget. Editorial Reviews Am azon.com Review With the emergence of the Unified Modeling Langua ge (UML) over the last few years, developers new to the advantage s of thorough software-engineering practices now have a better no tational system for designing more effective software. To use UML effectively, you will want to create use cases, which help descr ibe the requirements of a system. In their concise and very reada ble book, the authors of Applying Use Cases show how use cases ca n benefit all aspects of the software-design process and let you create better software in less time. This guide provides a case study for a mail-order business (with some e-commerce as well) as its central example. Use cases define how actors (i.e., users) a re defined for all the various components of a mail-order busines s, including inventory, accounting, and order fulfillment. The au thors suggest that while use cases are particularly useful at the beginning of a project cycle--for assessing risks and setting pr oject timetables, for instance--they are also useful for testing and deployment of systems (specifically, for creating documentati on and help manuals). The sample use cases--and supporting design documents--are what's best in this text. --Richard Dragan From the Inside Flap You're about to start a new project. Sometimes it seems like colonizing the moon would be easier. But you assemb le a stalwart team and prepare to set sail on the good ship Requi rements hoping to reach the fabled land of Success. They say ther e are no failed projects in Success and the profit margin is so h igh, the streets are paved with gold. There are many dangers be tween here and Success. Many a ship is sunk on the way some say a s many as 80 percent never reach that fabled land. You query thos e who have tried before. Use a ship from the OO line, they say. B ooch, OMT, OOSE, UML are all good models to choose from. You'll a lso need a chart showing risks along the way and an architecture of the major land masses. And finally you'll need to plot a cours e of use cases to reach your destination. Use Cases are included in the Unified Modeling Language and are used throughout the Rati onal Unified Process. They are gaining wide acceptance in many di fferent businesses and industries. Most often, use cases are appl ied to software projects and enterprise-wide applications. This book is for anyone interested in applying use cases to project d evelopment. While we can't guarantee you will always have success ful projects when using use cases, we can give you another way of looking at the projects you are developing and some tools that w ill make success more likely. You will get more benefit out of th e book if you have some basic knowledge of object-oriented concep ts. We will use the Unified Modeling Language for the notation, e xplaining the notation as we use it. A good book to use for refer ence on the notation is UML Distilled by Fowler. This is an excel lent book on the topic and easy to read. This book is organized using the Rational Unified Process as a framework. Within the ph ases of the process, we talk about the activities in the phase, f ocusing on activities based on use cases. We touch lightly on act ivities that interact with use cases, such as software architectu re, project management, and object-oriented analysis and design. These are very important activities, with whole books devoted to each topic. Therefore, in the resource list in Appendix A, you wi ll find our favorite books on these topics. We have used one ex ample, an order-processing system for a mail order company, throu ghout the book. This allows us to maintain consistency and build up a reasonably complex example. Parts of the solution are given in the various chapters to illustrate the concepts. This book i s presented as a sequence of steps, though life is never that sim ple. Each part will contribute to the rest until the system is co mplete. So if a section says to create an architecture, do what y ou can at that time, using what you currently know. You will add to it and refine it based on knowledge gained while working throu gh the process. You don't have to read the whole book before st arting with use cases. Chapters 1 through 5 give the basics of wo rking with use cases. We recommend that everyone reads those chap ters. Chapter 6 covers architecture and mapping use cases into th e architecture. Chapter 7 covers documenting use cases. Chapter 8 covers project planning with use cases, and Chapter 9 covers rev iewing the use case documents. Chapter 10 goes into moving from u se cases to OOAD. Ultimately, use cases are about documenting you r system. Plan on doing a lot of writing. Appendix A provides a l ist of books we reference throughout the text, as well as other b ooks we have found useful when developing projects. Appendix B sh ows the document templates used. These provide an example and a s tarting point for your own project. Modify them as needed to work with your project. In October of 1995, Rational Software Corpor ation merged with Objective Systems. Among other things, this mer ger brought with it Ivar Jacobson and his use cases. In February 1996, I wrote and delivered the first use case course for Rationa l, which combined use cases with the object-oriented methodologie s of Grady Booch and Jim Rumbaugh. Since that time, I have taught and run workshops on use cases with many of Rational's customers , as well as customers of my consulting company, Wyyzzk Training and Consulting. As I have taught them, so they have taught me. Th is book came out of what I've learned through the workshops. Ac knowledgments Thanks to: My parents, Phil and Joan Schneider. T heir love and faith give me the confidence to reach for the stars and the persistence to succeed. My professors at Southern Illi nois University, Edwardsville, in particular Dr. Nadine Verderber , Dr. Greg Stephen, and Dr. Eric Sturley. The education I receive d has proved to be a firm foundation on which I could build knowl edge and skills. Dr. Ivar Jacobson for the original work on use cases. I've built on the foundations he defined. Thanks also for his comments on the book in its early stages. His comments got m e past a stuck point at a critical time. My colleagues at Ratio nal Software Corporation for their encouragement and support, par ticularly the men and women in the North American Field Organizat ion, the International Field Organization, and Technical Support. Each one is an outstanding engineer, always willing to share wit h the rest what he or she has learned. This free exchange of idea s has been invaluable for maturing the processes we all teach use cases, OOAD, and OOPM. In particular I want to thank my former t eam, Deborah Bell, Sue Mickel, and Jean-Pierre Schoch, for their support and encouragement. Neal Reizer, Bill Fairfield, and Gar th Andrews for their support and encouragement and my customers a nd students, who taught me much while I was mentoring them.

Geri Sch neider Winters Santa Clara, California 0201309815P04062001 From the Back Cover Many projects struggle to define the specific fun ctions of software, and end users often find that the final produ ct does not perform as expected. Use cases allow analysts to iden tify the required features of a software system based on how each end user will use the system. This efficient and straightforward analysis process gives end users direct input into the design of the system that will serve them. Applying Use Cases provides a practical and clear introduction to developing use cases, demons trating their use via a continuing case study. Using the Unified Software Development Process as a framework and the Unified Model ing Language (UML) as a notation, the authors step the reader thr ough applying use cases in the different phases of the process, f ocusing on where and how use cases are best applied. Other high lights include: A collection of realistic examples showing how to apply use cases, drawn from the authors' extensive experience in this area A case study that offers insight into the common m istakes and pitfalls that can plague an object-oriented project An illustration of the latest version of the UML notation for di agramming use cases A practical how-to discussion on applying u se cases to identify system requirements 0201309815B04062001 About the Author Geri Schneider is the founder of Wyyzzk, Inc. a company focused on improving the practice of software product dev elopment.

Magnolia Leaves (1897) is a collection of poems by Mary Weston Fordham. Published toward the end of her life, Fordham's only collection appeared in print with an introduction by Booker T. Washington, who saw in its author an undeniable gift which could prove &quot;[t]he Negro's right to be considered worthy of recognition in the field of poetic effort.&quot; Meditating on such themes as morality, labor, maternity, liberty, and faith, Mary Weston Fordham displays not only a mastery of poetic form, but a hard-earned wisdom and talent for observing life in all its forms. &quot;With hands all reddened and sore, / With back and shoulders low bent, / She stands all day, and part of the night / Till her strength is well-nigh spent.&quot; In &quot;The Washerwoman,&quot; Fordham depicts a woman whose life on earth revolves around labor, for whom life after death means the promise of hard-earned rest, to &quot;be found on the other shore.&quot; While many, if not all, of Fordham's poems revolve around Christian imagery and themes, some, including &quot;Chicago Exposition Ode,&quot; &quot;Stars and Stripes,&quot; and &quot;Alaska,&quot; reflect on the promise of freedom and liberty in the aftermath of the Civil War. Her poems strive to depict the diversity of nineteenth century America, such as in &quot;Atlanta Exposition Ode,&quot; which celebrates the end of war and the coming together of former slaves, Union soldiers, and Confederate forces alike. &quot;Song to Erin&quot; and &quot;Highland Mary&quot; depict the immigrant experience, while &quot;The Cherokee&quot; mourns the murder and displacement of America's indigenous peoples. In sixty-six poems, Mary Weston Fordham distils the experience of a lifetime and the wisdom of one who has experienced loss and found the strength to move forward. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Mary Weston Fordham's Magnolia Leaves is a classic of African American literature reimagined for modern readers., 6, Adapting to the ever-changing GMAT exam, Manhattan Prep's 6th Edition GMAT Strategy Guides offer the latest approaches for students looking to score in the top percentiles.
