Together we’ll journey together through bits of cognitive and neuroscience, learning and behavioral theory. You’ll discover some surprising aspects of how our brains work, and see how you can beat the system to improve your own learning and thinking skills.In this book you’ll learn how to:
- Use the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition to become more expert
- Leverage the architecture of the brain to strengthen different thinking modes
- Avoid common “known bugs” in your mind
- Learn more deliberately and more effectively
- Manage knowledge more efficiently
Software development happens in your head. Not in an editor, IDE, or design tool. It’s time to take a pragmatic approach to thinking and learning, and start to refactor-and redesign-your brain.

Product Description
The Definitive Guide to Apache MyFaces and Facelets is an ideal reference if youre looking to develop real–world applications with the open source lightweight Apache MyFaces and Dojo (the Ajax API). The book focuses less on theory and more on aspects like scalability, design, optimization, and configurability.
This book emphasizes meeting real–world requirements for performance and scalability. It includes lucid code samples that reflect the pattern being described. The “In the Trenches” sections in each chapter give you advice and recommendations based on actual experiences with each pattern. What’s more, the “Extreme Extensions” section at the end of each relevant chapter is dedicated to a “freestyle” expression of taking a particular pattern or set of patterns to the max. (This is a great way for you to learn because of the magnification effect.) This is also the first book to embrace the Dojo framework for Ajax (soon to be an Apache project).

If you’re looking to take full advantage of multi-core processors with concurrent programming, this practical book provides the knowledge and hands-on experience you need. The Art of Concurrency is one of the few resources to focus on implementing algorithms in the shared-memory model of multi-core processors, rather than just theoretical models or distributed-memory architectures. The book provides detailed explanations and usable samples to help you transform algorithms from serial to parallel code, along with advice and analysis for avoiding mistakes that programmers typically make when first attempting these computations. Written by an Intel engineer with over two decades of parallel and concurrent programming experience, this book will help you:

Product Description
Now s the time says Dino Esposito, an expert on Web development technologies to think about AJAX and the future of Web design in a whole new way. While developers can use a variety of tools to code and build AJAX applications, architects must manage a variety of tradeoffs and compromises in their planning and design. In this book, Esposito challenges readers to think beyond the easy way to AJAX, which involves adding AJAX capabilities to a non-AJAX system designed in the old model of Web development. Instead, he proposes an alternate, if more difficult, paradigm involving new patterns and new complexities and culminating in a new, pure-AJAX architecture. You ll learn why far better solutions result from the second, more radical approach and you ll get practical guidance on how to implement this new architecture for Rich Internet Applications (RIAs).

“For Drupal to succeed, we need books like this.”
–Dries Buytaert, Drupal founder and project lead
“Drupal faces a common problem on the Web–the relative lack of new, high quality themes. Front End Drupal tackles this problem directly and is designed to help both experienced designers and rank novices get an understanding of how Drupal theming works. In fact, I’ll be the first to admit I learned a lot from this book.”

Amazon.com Review
It’s important for anyone who creates Web sites–even those who rely on powerful editors like Dreamweaver or GoLive–to know HTML. The World Wide Web Consortium rewrote HTML as a subset of XML (dubbing it “XHTML 1.0″) and the allowable code will eventually be stricter. Tags that are being phased out are labeled “deprecated”–current browsers can still handle them, but if you want your site to keep up with future browsers, not to mention conform to accessibility requirements, you will want to get on top of XHTML.
