Based On More Than Forty Interviews With Jobs Conducted Over Two Years--as Well As Interviews With More Than A Hundred Family Members, Friends, Adversaries, Competitors, And Colleagues--walter Isaacson Has Written A Riveting Story Of The Roller-coaster Life And Searingly Intense Personality Of A Creative Entrepreneur Whose Passion For Perfection And Ferocious Drive Revolutionized Six Industries: Personal Computers, Animated Movies, Music, Phones, Tablet Computing, And Digital Publishing. At A Time When America Is Seeking Ways To Sustain Its Innovative Edge, And When Societies Around The World Are Trying To Build Digital-age Economies, Jobs Stands As The Ultimate Icon Of Inventiveness And Applied Imagination. He Knew That The Best Way To Create Value In The Twenty-first Century Was To Connect Creativity With Technology. He Built A Company Where Leaps Of The Imagination Were Combined With Remarkable Feats Of Engineering. Although Jobs Cooperated With This Book, He Asked For No Control Over What Was Written Nor Even The Right To Read It Before It Was Published. He Put Nothing Off-limits. He Encouraged The People He Knew To Speak Honestly. And Jobs Speaks Candidly, Sometimes Brutally So, About The People He Worked With And Competed Against. His Friends, Foes, And Colleagues Provide An Unvarnished View Of The Passions, Perfectionism, Obsessions, Artistry, Devilry, And Compulsion For Control That Shaped His Approach To Business And The Innovative Products That Resulted. Driven By Demons, Jobs Could Drive Those Around Him To Fury And Despair. But His Personality And Products Were Interrelated, Just As Apple's Hardware And Software Tended To Be, As If Part Of An Integrated System.

Read The New Goliaths to see how the forest came to have only room for a few tall trees with the rest of us in the undergrowth.”—Joshua Gans, coauthor of Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence\\\u003cbr\u003eHistorically, competition has powered progress under capitalism. Companies with productive new products rise to the top, but sooner or later, competitors come along with better innovations and disrupt the threat of monopoly. Dominant firms like Walmart, Amazon, and Google argue that this process of “creative destruction” prevents them from becoming too powerful or entrenched.\\\u003cbr\u003eBut the threat of competition has sharply decreased over the past twenty years, and today’s corporate giants have come to power by using proprietary information technologies to create a tilted playing field. This development has increased economic inequality and social division, slowed innovation, and allowed dominant firms to evade government regulation. In the face of increasing calls to break up the largest companies, James Bessen argues that a better way to restore competitive balance and dynamism is to encourage or compel these companies to share technology, data, and knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Social Sciences\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolitics \u0026amp; Government\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublic Affairs \u0026amp; Policy\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eEconomic Policy\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Used - Like New","offer_id":45261930365118,"sku":"0300255047-2","price":24.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/71Pl_HlrgZL.jpg?v=1754083990"},{"product_id":"0316388394-the_upstarts_how_uber-_airbnb-_and_the_killer_companies_of_the_new_silicon_valley_are_changing_the_world","title":"The Upstarts: How Uber, Airbnb, and the Killer Companies of the New Silicon Valley Are Changing the World","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eDiscusses The Radical Companies Of The New Silicon Valley That Are Rewriting The Rules Of Business And Sidestepping Ethical And Legal Obstacles In The Process. --publisher Ten Years Ago, The Idea Of Getting Into A Stranger's Car, Or Walking Into A Stranger's Home, Would Have Seemed Bizarre And Dangerous, But Today It's As Common As Ordering A Book Online.

This book describes a practical methodology for creating an effective VUI design.

They next cover, in great detail, the design phase, with clear explanations and demonstrations of each design principle and its real-world applications.

It Is Also A Readable, Informative, And Practical Guide To Using Uml, And Will Probably Replace Fowler's \u003ci\u003euml Distilled\u003c\/i\u003e On My Recommended Reading List. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003euml (short For The Unified Modeling Language) Is An Everything-for-everyone Collection Of Graphical Notations For Object-oriented Analysis And Design. It Includes Use Cases, Class Hierarchies, State Charts, Sequence Diagrams, And Just About Everything Else That Its Authoring Committee Thought Might Be Useful. Most Case Tool Vendors Have Already Shipped Uml-aware Versions Of Their Tools, And Many Recent Books On Java, Design Patterns, And Business Reengineering Have Adopted It For Diagramming. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eall Of Which Would Be Good News, Except For Two Things: Uml's Breadth Makes It Hard To Navigate, And It Still Leaves An Uncomfortably Wide Gulf Between The Analysis (what) And Design (how) Phases Of A Project. The Principal Value Of This Book Is That It Tackles Both Of These Issues Head-on. In Just Eight Chapters, Rosenberg (who Is The Founder And President Of Iconix) Presents A Slimmed-down Core Of Uml, Organized Around A Four-stage Design Process. Each Stage Has Clearly Defined Steps, And Concrete Milestones That Specify What Ought To Be Produced (that Is, How To Tell When You're Finished). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003euml's Second Weakness Is Addressed By One New Bit Of Notation, Which Rosenberg Calls A Robustness Diagram. While The Connection Between The General Idea Of Robustness And These Diagrams Seems A Bit Tenuous To Me, They Appear To Be A Useful Bridge Between Use Cases On The One Hand, And Implementation-oriented Diagrams On The Other. Their Value Becomes Clear During The Development Of The Book's Running Example, A Simple Stock-trading System. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ei Have Only Two Criticisms Of This Book. The First Is That Rosenberg Repeatedly Refers To, And Discusses, Both Older Design Notations And Debates About The Finer Points Of Uml -- In Fact, He Devotes An Entire Appendix To The Difference Between Uses And Extends, Despite The Fact That He Clearly Doesn't Think The Difference Is Significant. This Material Might Be Of Interest To The Cognoscenti, But Is Out Of Place In A Book Aimed At Newcomers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ethe Second Criticism Of This Book Is One That I Thought I'd Never Make: It Is Simply Too Short.

Most user interface books focus on psychology and usability, not programming techniques. This book recognizes the need for programmers to collaborate with usability experts and psychologists, so topics such as the principles of visualization, human perception, and usability evaluation are touched upon. Yet the primary focus remains on those tools and techniques required for programming the complex user interface. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eFocuses on advanced programming topics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eevent handling\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einteraction with geometric objects\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewidget tool kits\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einput syntax\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful to programmers using any language—no particular windowing system or tool kit is presumed, examples are drawn from a variety of commercial systems, and code examples are presented in pseudo code\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe basic concepts of traditional computer graphics such as drawing and three-dimensional modeling are covered for readers without a computer graphics background.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e Booknews \u003cp\u003eThis book for readers with a programming background, is intended for those who program the user interface, rather than those who design it.
