Kategoria BISAC: Computers >> Programming - General

This elegant programming primer teaches beginning programming students to code through more than 100 graded examples, each one illustrated in color. This book can be used to learn how to program without installing any software: just visit the free Pencil Code website, and run and save your projects online.

Written by a computer scientist to teach his own family to program, the book is designed for inductive learning. The illustrated programs come with no expository text. Instead, the sequence of projects introduce increasingly sophisticated concepts by example. Each one invites...

Process Modeling Style focuses on other aspects of process modeling beyond notation that are very important to practitioners. Many people who model processes focus on the specific notation used to create their drawings. While that is important, there are many other aspects to modeling, such as naming, creating identifiers, descriptions, interfaces, patterns, and creating useful process documentation. Experience author John Long focuses on those non-notational aspects of modeling, which practitioners will find invaluable.

• Gives solid advice for creating roles, work...

Rules represent a simplified means of programming, congruent with our understanding of human brain constructs. With the advent of business rules management systems, it has been possible to introduce rule-based programming to nonprogrammers, allowing them to map expert intent into code in applications such as fraud detection, financial transactions, healthcare, retail, and marketing. However, a remaining concern is the quality, safety, and reliability of the resulting programs.

This book is on business rules programs, that is, rule programs as handled in business rules...
