Showstopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft
by G. Pascal ZacharyShowstopper is the dramatic, inside story of the creation of Windows NT, told by Wall Street Journal reporter G. Pascal Zachary. Driven by the legendary Bruce Cutler, a picked band of software engineers sacrifices almost everything in their lives to build a new, stable, operating system aimed at giving Microsoft a platform for growth through the next decade of development in the computing business.Comparable in many ways to the Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Soul of a New Machine by Tracy Kidder, Showstopper gets deep inside the process of software development, the lives and motivations of coders and the pressure to succeed coupled with the drive for originality and perfection that can pull a diverse team together to create a program consisting of many hundreds of thousands of lines of code.
Programación de Computadoras: De Principiante a Malvado—JavaScript, HTML, CSS, & SQL
by Zack Fleming Steven WebberInternamente, encontrarás una introducción a JavaScript, HTML, CSS y SQL. Estos son lenguajes de programación. Algunos de ellos se conocen como lenguajes de scripting. A partir de JavaScript, le presentaré los lenguajes de programación mencionados. Con suerte, al final de este libro, tendrá las respuestas a las preguntas de lo qué es y de lo qué puedes hacer con estos lenguajes. JavaScript es un lenguaje de programación que permite la implementación de elementos complejos en páginas web estáticas. Cada vez que miras una página web que hace algo además de mostrar información estática, es una suposición bastante segura hacer que JavaScript esté involucrado. A menudo se le conoce como la tercera capa del pastel. HTML es un lenguaje de programación relativamente simple que, en su núcleo, consiste en elementos. Estos elementos le permiten distinguir diferentes secciones de texto como diferentes aspectos de su página. Ya sea un párrafo, un encabezado, una columna o lo que se necesite, esto se logra con el uso de dichos elementos. Este lenguaje es también donde se obtiene la posibilidad de crear hipervínculos. El uso de hipervínculos es muy importante, especialmente cuando desea poder dirigir a alguien a una parte específica de su texto o página. CSS es un lenguaje de programación que se utiliza para diseñar y estructurar el diseño de una página web. Si desea cambiar la fuente, el color y el fondo, puede hacerlo agregando una animación o diseñando un esquema específico. Este es el lenguaje que usarás para lograr esas cosas. CSS utiliza el modelo de cuadro: la mayoría de los elementos se representan como un cuadro con el contenido, el relleno y los bordes se construyen como capas en una cebolla. Se debe comprender el modelo de caja antes de poder comenzar a entender cómo crear diseños CSS. Mientras tanto, SQL es un lenguaje de programación que está diseñado para trabajar con con

There is also a top 30 list of lunar objects, a section on planetary observing, annotated lists of popular astronomy apps and software, and tips on how to make the most of your location.Stargazing Under Suburban Skies: A Star-Hopper’s Guide is the essential companion to what can be seen and how, regardless of the obstacles.
The Business of Gamification: A Critical Analysis (Routledge Advances in Management and Business Studies)
by Peter Zackariasson Mikolaj DymekAt the turn of the century the term "gamification" was introduced as a concept to understand the process of using game mechanics in "non-game" contexts. The impact of gamification was soon evident to business practices where it had impact both on marketing and, more broadly, on the organizations themselves. As the number of individuals playing video games grows, there seem to be an acceptance of game mechanics elsewhere. Its effectiveness is highly dependent on both technical possibilities and cultural acceptance, two factors present today. The aim of The Business of Gamification is to critically analyze the practical and theoretical consequences of gamification. Practically, how has gamification been applied in businesses to this point, and what are the future scenarios? Theoretically, what are the contributions of gamification to existing academic knowledge? How does this change our understanding of how business are performing and its consequences, for organizations, consumers, and society in general? This edited volume contains new, and stringent, perspectives on how gamification is contextualized in business settings, both in theory as well as in practice. This book will provide a wealth of research for individuals seriously interested in the industry at the academic level. As a result, this book will serve as a reference in curricula associated with video game development for years to come.
Video Game Marketing: A student textbook
by Peter Zackariasson Mikolaj DymekThe video game industry has been one of the fastest-growing cultural phenomena of our times with market conditions that demand a specific skill set from its marketers. To a new generation of "indie gamers", being a game developer isn’t just about design and production, a successful video game demands entrepreneurial skills and astute business acumen. The creators need to know what their customers want, how to reach those customers and how to sell to them. ? Video Game Marketing: A student textbook?is for development students or aspiring developers who want to know how to promote and sell the results of their efforts. This book is a much-needed guide to: ? • the essentials of marketing strategy; • video games as products or services; • marketing research for game development; • branding video games; • marketing through game: gamification, advergames. ? Replete with pedagogy to aid learning such as objectives and discussion questions for each chapter, this book is all that aspiring video game developers will need to unleash the potential of their games.
The Playful Undead and Video Games: Critical Analyses of Zombies and Gameplay (Routledge Advances in Game Studies)
by Peter Zackariasson Stephen J. WebleyThis book explores the central role of the zombie in contemporary popular culture as they appear in video games. Moving beyond traditional explanations of their enduring appeal – that they embody an aesthetic that combines horror with a mindless target; that lower age ratings for zombie games widen the market; or that Artificial Intelligence routines for zombies are easier to develop – the book provides a multidisciplinary and comprehensive look at this cultural phenomenon. Drawing on detailed case studies from across the genre, contributors from a variety of backgrounds offer insights into how the study of zombies in the context of video games informs an analysis of their impact on contemporary popular culture. Issues such as gender, politics, intellectual property law, queer theory, narrative storytelling and worldbuilding, videogame techniques and technology, and man’s relation to monsters are closely examined in their relation to zombie video games. Breaking new ground in the study of video games and popular culture, this volume will be of interest to researchers in a broad range of areas including media, popular culture, video games, and media psychology.

Windows XP Professional: The Missing Manual
by Craig Zacker David Pogue L. J. ZackerWindows XP is the latest, most reliable, and best-looking version of the world's most widely used operating system, combining the extremely stable engine of Windows NT and 2000 with the user-friendliness of the Windows 98 and Me consumer models. In its first year, XP became the fastest-selling Windows OS ever. But one major failing remains unaddressed: XP Pro comes without a single page of printed instructions. This superbly written guide fills the gap. Coauthored by David Pogue, New York Times technology columnist and Missing Manuals creator, Windows XP Pro: The Missing Manual uses wit, technical insight, and scrupulous objectivity to light the way for first-time and intermediate PC fans. The book reveals which features work well and which don't, such as the Remote Desktop software that enables people to connect to the office from home, the encryption file system that protects sensitive information, and the Windows Messenger that enables real-time text, voice and video communication. Contents include: Getting started. The book's early chapters cover using menus, finding lost files, reducing window clutter, and taming the new, multi-column Start menu. Mastering the network. Special chapters help you navigate the corporate network, dial in from the road, and even set up your own small-office (peer-to-peer) network, step by step. Understanding security. User accounts, file encryption, and the NTFS file system keep your private files private, while still offering network access to coworkers you specify. Flying the Net. This book demystifies Outlook Express 6 for email, Internet Explorer 6 for Web browsing, and the new Windows Messenger for voice, chat, and video conferencing. Windows XP Pro: The Missing Manual isn't for system administrators or OS theory geeks; it's for the novice or budding power user who wants to master the machine and get down to work. Yet, anyone who uses XP Pro (including hardcore techies) will find this new system much easier -- and more fun -- to digest with this new Missing Manual. This is the crystal-clear, jargon-free book that should have been in the box.
