Designing and Engineering Time: The Psychology of Time Perception in Software

Product Description

One hidden factor powerfully influences the way users react to your software, hardware, User Interfaces (UI), or web applications: how those systems utilize users’ time. Now, drawing on the nearly 40 years of human computer interaction research–including his own pioneering work–Dr. Steven Seow presents state-of-the-art best practices for reflecting users’ subjective perceptions of time in your applications and hardware.

Seow begins by introducing a simple model that explains how users perceive and expend time as they interact with technology. He offers specific guidance and recommendations related to several key aspects of time and timing–including user tolerance, system responsiveness, progress indicators, completion time estimates, and more. Finally, he brings together proven techniques for impacting users’ perception of time drawn from multiple disciplines and industries, ranging from psychology to retail, animal research to entertainment.

• Discover how time and timing powerfully impact user perception, emotions, and behavior

• Systematically make your applications more considerate of users’ time

• Avoid common mistakes that consistently frustrate or infuriate users

• Manage user perceptions and tolerance, and build systems that are perceived as faster

• Optimize “flow” to make users feel more productive, empowered, and creative

• Make reasonable and informed tradeoffs that maximize limited development resources

• Learn how to test usability issues related to time–including actual vs. perceived task duration

Designing and Engineering Time is for every technology developer, designer, engineer, architect, usability specialist, manager, and marketer. Using its insights and techniques, technical and non-technical professionals can work together to build systems and applications that provide far more value–and create much happier users.

Steven C. Seow has a unique combination of experience in both experimental psychology and software usability. He joined Microsoft as a User Researcher after completing his Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology at Brown University with a research focus on human timing and information theory models of human performance. Seow holds Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Forensic Psychology from John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and wrote his master’s thesis on distortions in time perception.

Product Description
Concurrency is a powerful technique for developing efficient and lightning- fast software. For instance, concurrency can be used in common applications such as online order processing to speed processing and ensure transaction reliability. However, mastering concurrency is one of the greatest challenges for both new and veteran programmers. Software developers with all levels of experience can refer to Creating Components: Object Oriented, Concurrent, and Distributed Computing in Java to better understand how concurrency works, more effectively deploy it in program components, and reuse these components to improve program design, quality, and performance.This text introduces concurrent and component programming to students, engineers, and programmers who are familiar with Java and procedural and GUI programming. It helps them to understand and apply concurrency in Java component programming, while exploring distributed program implementation, Java threads, objects, interfaces, exceptions, component reuse, and system design and management.By providing the fundamental concepts of object-oriented components and offering templates for distributed program components, this valuable resource reveals how programmers can apply concurrency and components to solve complex problems.

Microsoft SQL Server is a relational model database server produced by Microsoft. Its primary query languages are T-SQL and ANSI SQL.
The code base for MS SQL Server (prior to version 7.0) originated in Sybase SQL Server, and was Microsoft’s entry to the enterprise-level database market, competing against Oracle, IBM, and, later, Sybase itself. Microsoft, Sybase and Ashton-Tate originally teamed up to create and market the first version named SQL Server 1.0 for OS/2 (about 1989) which was essentially the same as Sybase SQL Server 3.0 on Unix, VMS, etc. Microsoft SQL Server 4.2 was shipped around 1992 (available bundled with Microsoft OS/2 version 1.3). Later Microsoft SQL Server 4.21 for Windows NT was released at the same time as Windows NT 3.1. Microsoft SQL Server v6.0 was the first version designed for NT, and did not include any direction from Sybase.

About the time Windows NT was released, Sybase and Microsoft parted ways and each pursued their own design and marketing schemes. Microsoft negotiated exclusive rights to all versions of SQL Server written for Microsoft operating systems. Later, Sybase changed the name of its product to Adaptive Server Enterprise to avoid confusion with Microsoft SQL Server. Until 1994, Microsoft’s SQL Server carried three Sybase copyright notices as an indication of its origin.

Since parting ways, several revisions have been done independently. SQL Server 7.0 was a rewrite from the legacy Sybase code. It was succeeded by SQL Server 2000, which was the first edition to be launched in a variant for the IA-64 architecture.

In the eight years since release of Microsoft’s previous SQL Server product (SQL Server 2000), advancements have been made in performance, the client IDE tools, and several complementary systems that are packaged with SQL Server 2005. These include: an ETL tool (SQL Server Integration Services or SSIS), a Reporting Server, an OLAP and data mining server (Analysis Services), and several messaging technologies, specifically Service Broker and Notification Services.

Book Description
The creator of this powerful and multi-faceted code management and deployment system shows you how to unleash its hidden power across your complete PHP development lifecycle. PEAR Installer is the preferred PEAR package for installing PEAR packages. It can be used to make sure that the most up to date version of a package is present on your server.

This book reveals the full power of the PEAR Installer, presenting a new way of organizing your PHP application development and deployment. This book will show you a new way of organizing your PHP development, by leveraging the full power of the PEAR Installer. In a sense, the PEAR Installer is a step above a software design pattern, a meta-development pattern that can be used to systematically organize all of your PHP development. You will learn how to organize your code into packages using the package.xml format. You will learn about the revolutionary new PEAR Channel concept, and how to safely and reliably depend on external PHP libraries from sources such as pear.php.net and other PEAR channels. You will learn about the PEAR_PackageFileManager package, and how to customize individual installations of your PHP code through file roles, file tasks, and post-installation scripts. In addition, you will learn how to use the power of PEAR to manage your web projects with the PEAR installer to bring the power of versioning and rollbacks to your live website. The synergy of the PEAR Installer and a revision control system like CVS or Subversion is also explored in depth. Next, you will learn how to set up your own PEAR Channel for distributing PHP applications, both open-source and proprietary closed-source PHP applications that can be secured using technology already built into the PEAR Installer. Finally, you will learn how to embed the PEAR Installer inside your own web application in order to manage plug-ins from a remote server. The book covers in detail designing a custom plug-in system for a fictitious blog application. The plug-in system is used to manage templates, and the PEAR Installer is used to manage the details of querying the remote server for templates, handling dependencies between versioning, and doing the actual installation process as well. This book is a comprehensive and well structured tutorial on using PEAR Installer, but it is also much more than that. As the creator of the PEAR Installer Libraries, the author is passionate about the benefits of a well managed development and deployment process. The book shows how PEAR Installer works in detail, and then takes you through a comprehensive tour of how you can apply it all stages of the development lifecycle, with practical examples and advice throughout. It will build your technical skills and understanding, and also widen your perspective on managing an effective development process. The book is not just for PHP developers who want to understand how the PEAR Installer works, and what it can do for them, but more generally for PHP developers seeking a better way to deploy their applications and manage updates. It does assume that you have a good working knowledge of PHP development, and are dealing with projects of a sufficient scale and complexity to warrant an investment in a structure process.

How is the course structured?
It’s 13 lessons 6+ hours with all source code provided! I saved the code at the end of every lesson so you can start from any lesson you like. Starting from the beginning and coding every line along with me is the best way though! you’ll learn more and have a better understanding of how everything works.

Lesson 01 - Introduction
We talk about what we are going to build.

Lesson 02 - Setting up the database
Create our database and set up the tables we are going to need. We also talk about the relationships between our tables.

Lesson 03 - PHP to MySql
Now we dive head first into connecting to MySQL from PHP. We also set up all the SQL for our Application (Creating, Selecting, Updating, Deleting)

Lesson 04 - Code to functions
Then we review our code and turn it into nice functions we can reuse over and over again!

Lesson 05 - MVC
We talk about MVC application layout. Look at some diagrams and think about how we can achieve this application layout.

Lesson 06 - Setting up the application
We begin to layout out our application and framework.

Lesson 07 - Routing System
Now we have a foundation.. it’s time to add friendly URLs and using our knowledge of regular expressions we set up a cool little routing system! Go PHP go!!

Lesson 08 - Routing to functions
We then review our code again and re-factor it into functions. It’s all about keeping your code in the right spots and keeping everything tidy.

Lesson 09 - Layouts and Forms
Our Application needs a layout so using some simple logic we set up a cool Templating system! Then we move onto setting up all our HTML forms.

Lesson 10 - Forms to Database
Now we have our forms we need to make them talk to PHP and MySQL so that’s what we do!

Lesson 11 - Part 1 WYSIWYG and Validation
We add rich editing to our forms and then we setup some simple validation and functions! did someone say CMS!! yeah baby!

Lesson 11 - Part 2 Magic Quotes and Pagination
We look at magic quotes and add previous and next links to our application.

Lesson 12 - User Authentication
It’s time to make our CMS secure so now we add Password Protection!

Lesson 13 - Styling
Our Application is almost complete just need to make it shiny. I go away for an hour and mock up a design we come back and add it to the app! We are done! I shed a tear or two and crack it at Windows Vista.

Multi-Tier Application Programming with PHP: Practical Guide for Architects and Programmers

Product Description
While many architects use PHP for projects, they are often not aware of the power of PHP in creating enterprise-level applications. This book covers the latest version of PHP - version 5 — and focuses on its capabilities within a multi-tier application framework. It contains numerous coding samples and commentaries on them. A chapter discusses object orientation in PHP as it applies to the multi-tier architecture and other chapters discuss HTTP and SOAP, the two communication protocols most useful in tying together multiple layers. There is also coverage of database design and query construction as well as information about tricks you can use in generating user interfaces.

·Covers PHP as it relates to developing software in a multi-tier environment-a crucial aspect of developing robust software with low cost and ease of use as design goals.

·Makes extensive use of Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Web Services as implemented in PHP and NuSOAP.

·Shows precisely how to make use of the InnoDB table type newly available in MySQL. InnoDB supports true referential integrity and row-level locking.

·An application example (a multi-currency bookkeeping application) runs throughout the book, showing various PHP capabilities as well as the database interaction.

·An accompanying web site includes the source code for all of the examples and the sample download.

As the first book to come out on CakePHP, there was a lot of pressure on this title to be really strong. On the whole, it has pretty good coverage of the topic, but the flow of the title is undermined by shoddy editing.
This title is a pretty decent introduction to CakePHP. Coming from a background in PHP and having worked with Ruby on Rails for a few years as well, I think the authors did a good job covering the basics and putting together some interesting projects for you to work on.

From the Back Cover
As a major force in the world of affordable, advanced web site deployment, Joomla! has become the most important noncommercial Content Management System (CMS) in the world. The number of Joomla! downloads and add-ons continues to grow at lightning pace, spurring the need for a resource that explores the diverse needs of professional Joomla! developers. This book fills that void by covering the two main areas of the Joomla! field—development and deployment—with a focus on the new Joomla! version 1.5 and all the features it provides.

Seasoned author Dan Rahmel walks you through the process of creating all three types of Joomla! extensions (modules, components, and plug-ins), explains how best to use Ajax technology, and shows you how to adopt design patterns and incorporate source code control. You’ll examine the underlying technologies (PHP, Apache, etc.) that can be tuned to offer the best system performance, and you’ll explore interfacing with outside content, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) setup, and much more. You’ll even delve into the internal structure of the Joomla! framework, and obtain a unique behind-the-scenes education so that you can modify and extend Joomla! to meet the needs of you and your customers.

What you will learn from this book

• How each server of a Joomla! system can be installed and configured for maximum performance
• The process of creating a module from scratch
• Ways to use Ajax to add dynamic data retrieval to Joomla!
• Techniques for using design patterns to solve common programming problems
• How to create and retain a virtual community
• Procedures for tuning a Joomla! site for both Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Search Engine Management (SEM)

Writing for experienced Web developers, Lauriat delivers fresh ideas and elegant solutions: meaty technical content, presented with exceptional clarity. Among the many topics he covers in unprecedented depth: cleanly implementing JavaScript custom events to reduce coupling and to enhance flexibility; overcoming Ajax’s traditional accessibility limitations; reducing network latency through compression and other techniques; and much more. Coverage includes

• Planning Ajax interfaces for simplicity, clarity, and intuitiveness
• Creating scalable, maintainable architectures for client-side JavaScript
• Using the latest tools to profile, validate, and debug client-side code
• Architecting the server side for security and functionality, while restricting loaded data, objects, and actions to current requests
• Protecting against the most widespread and significant Ajax security risks
• Optimizing every component of an Ajax application, from server-side scripts to database interactions
• Introducing cutting-edge Ajax: game development, Ajax with canvas, and Ajax for enterprise applications
