Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. DESCRIPTION Behavior-Driven Development starts with a simple idea: developers can't write good software if they don't understand what it's supposed to do. BDD is a development process that helps users design better code by writing tests that describe the behavior of an application and its underlying requirements. Done well, it helps deliver higher quality software that creates business genuine value. BDD in Action teaches the Behavior-Driven Development model and shows how to integrate it into existing development process. First it shows how to apply BDD to requirements analysis to define features that focus development efforts on underlying business goals. Then, it reveals how to automate acceptance criteria and use tests to guide and report on the development process. Along the way, readers will apply BDD principles at the coding level to write more maintainable and better documented code.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. C# in Depth is a completely new book designed to propel existing C# developers to a higher level of programming skill. One simple principle drives this book: exploring a few things deeply rather than offering a shallow view of the whole C# landscape. It is a book for those readers who want just a little more at the end of a typical chapter. Expert author Jon Skeet dives into the C# language, plumbing new C# 2 and 3 features and probing the core C# language concepts that drive them. This unique book puts the new features into the context of how C# has evolved without a lengthy rehearsal of the full C# language. And it sticks to the language, covering new framework and runtime features only where relevant. C# in Depth is both a vehicle for learning C# 2 and 3 and also a reference work. Although the coverage is deep, the text is always accessible: Readers will explore pitfalls that can trip them up, but the book skips over gnarly details best left to the language specification. The overall effect is that readers become not just proficient in C# 2 and 3, but comfortable that they truly understand the language. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. DESCRIPTION Distributed systems are unpredictable, and it can be an enormous challenge to manage around potentially-crippling obstacles like hardware failures, unanticipated changes in load, and network issues. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a platform for hosting distributed applications in a secure, flexible cloud environment. AWS provides a suite of services designed to keep the focus on what an application does instead of the infrastructure required to run it.

Amazon Web Services in Action introduces readers to computing, storing, and networking in the AWS cloud. It starts with a broad overview of AWS, and shows how to spin up servers manually and from the command line. Then, it explores infrastructure automation with the AWS CloudFormation service, where readers can describe a blueprint of their infrastructure as code. Readers will learn how to isolate systems using private networks to increase security, how to use the most valuable AWS managed services available on AWS, and about the benefits of stateless servers.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. DESCRIPTION Functional programming is a deep and potentially mind-bending discipline. Fortunately, Java developers don't have to master every aspect of FP to get a big boost in the performance, readability, and maintainability of their applications. By learning a few core FP principles, they can write code that's less prone to side effects and unwanted dependencies and which is much better suited to the parallel processing required by modern multi-core and distributed systems. Also, because units of functional code are designed to be modular and independent, FP reduces or eliminates many of the bugs development teams routinely face when managing a large codebase. Functional Programming in Java teaches Java developers how to incorporate the most powerful benefits of functional programming into new and existing Java code. Written to meet the needs of professional Java developers who want to introduce functional programming principles into new and legacy projects, this book uses examples, exercises, and illustrations to teach core FP principles such as referential transparency, immutability, persistence, and laziness. Theyll discover which of the new functionally-inspired features of Java 8 will help in applying FP principles to codeas well as which to avoid. In the end, theyll be able to think functionally about coding tasks in Java and use FP to make their applications easier to understand, optimize, maintain, and scale. KEY FEATURES Increases productivity Easy to grasp examples and illustrations Written for professional Java developers AUDIENCE Readers need to be comfortable with Java programming. No previous experience with functional programming is required. ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY Functional programming is gaining momentum, mainly through adoption of new languages such as Scala, Clojure or Groovy, and through the new popularity of older languages such as Haskell or Erlang. And functional programming is coming to Java 8 with the addition of features such as lambda expressions, and Streams. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.
