A course on interactive book design for the iPad, a topic that wouldn't have existed two years ago, is now being taught by Stacey Williams-Ng at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. Even Stacey seems surprised that her love of illustration and knowledge of graphic design have combined into a new career for her, interactive storytelling. She loves putting brush to canvas, which is how her children's books begin before they're photographed or scanned into the iPad—where she actually uses an app to create apps. Her business has blossomed into a publishing company (Little Bahalia) that's dedicated to creating interactive children's literature. We join her at her home studio in Milwaukee where she's animating her latest book, A Troop Is a Group of Monkeys, destined for the iPad. Quick quiz: What is a group of bats called? Find out during this installment of the lynda.com documentary series The Creative Spark.

Survivors recall the haunting story of a Nazi concentration camp where American GI’s became victims of the Nazi’s final solution, working and dying as slave labourers.

Is It Real: Russian Bigfoot
Does a man from the Paleolithic still walk this planet? In Mongolia and Russia, rumors about hairy, ape-like creatures swirl the remote mountains. It's known as the "Almas" and many say it could be a relic Neanderthal. We join a cryptozoological creature seeker trying to find evidence of the creature's existence in Mongolia; a Russian hominologist who claims to have evidence - skulls and hair samples -- which may prove the wildman's existence -- and a team of scientists in New York with access to the ultimate key, Neanderthal. Could some Neanderthals still live and breathe today?

Eliminate inventorying dilemmas by implementing a free and feasible IT Inventory solution

Discover how to harness the full power of open source tools to build a free J2EE enterprise platform. The choice is yours . . . you can spend thousands of dollars on commercial enterprise platforms or you can take advantage of free, fast, and reliable open source alternatives. To make your decision even easier, this innovative book provides you with all the tools you need to seamlessly combine the most popular open source tools into a single, integrated enterprise platform that can be used for development and deployment of Enterprise Java applications. The authors introduce you to several open source Java projects, covering the basics of enterprise architectures and providing an overviewof open source developer tools.

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is a revolutionary new way to think about software engineering. AOP was introduced to address crosscutting concerns such as security, logging, persistence, debugging, tracing, distribution, performance monitoring, and exception handling in a more effective manner. Unlike conventional development techniques, which scatter the implementation of each concern into multiple classes, aspect-oriented programming localizes them.
Aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) uses this approach to create a better modularity for functional and nonfunctional requirements, platform specifics, and more, allowing you to build more understandable systems that are easier to configure and extend to meet the evolving needs of stakeholders.
In this highly anticipated new book, Ivar Jacobson and Pan-Wei Ng demonstrate how to apply use cases - a mature and systematic approach to focusing on stakeholder concerns - and aspect-orientation in building robust and extensible systems. Throughout the book, the authors employ a single, real-world example of a hotel management information system to make the described theories and practices concrete and understandable.
The authors show how to identify, design, implement, test, and refactor use-case modules, as well as extend them. They also demonstrate how to design use-case modules with the Unified Modeling Language (UML) - emphasizing enhancements made in UML 2.0 - and how to achieve use-case modularity using aspect technologies, notably AspectJ.
Key topics include
Making the case for use cases and aspects
Capturing and modeling concerns with use cases
Keeping concerns separate with use-case modules
Modeling use-cases slices and aspects using the newest extensions to the UML notation
Applying use cases and aspects in projects
Whatever your level of experience with aspect-oriented programming, Aspect-Oriented Software Development with Use Cases will teach you how to develop better software by embracing the paradigm shift to AOSD.
