SharePoint Apps with LightSwitch

The important thing to point out right from the start is that Visual Studio LightSwitch in its stand-alone version shares much of the same functionality as the full version of Visual Studio. Figure 1-1 shows the opening screen of Visual Studio LightSwitch, which looks just like what you would see if you launched the full version. There are differences, however, in many ways.

Search Patterns

In astronomy, averted vision is the art of seeing distant objects by looking to their periphery. It works by shifting responsibility from cones, which sense color and fine detail, to rods, which detect motion and help us to juggle, play chess, and see in the dark. This form of peripheral vision can be practiced. Observers often report a gain of three to four magnitudes. It’s a powerful remind…

R in a Nutshell

Today, R is maintained by a team of developers around the world. Usually, there is an official release of R twice a year, in April and in October. I’ve checked the code in this book against 2.15.1, but if you have an earlier or later version of R installed, don’t worry. R hasn’t changed that much in the past few years: usually there are some bug fixes, some optimizations, and a few new fu…

Django), which have embraced the MVC (Model-View-Controller) application pattern, and if you’re one of those developers, or even if you’re just curious, this book is for you.

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is based on simple, platform-independent rules for representing structured textual information.

Pro SharePoint 2010 Disaster Recovery and High Availability

I wrote this book to share what I have learned about high availability and disaster recovery for SharePoint at this point in time. It is certainly an interesting time. In the past 10 years, SharePoint has gone from a compiled application that just looked superficially like a web application into a more fully fledged cloud platform. The process is far from over, however, and SharePoint will like…

Pro Freeware and Open Source Solutions for Business

In early 2009, I was relaunching my business in a new city (my family and I relocated in late 2008). We had actually planned this move for a couple of years, but the timing of the sale of our house coincided with the unfolding Financial Crisis. Like many other families, we were impacted in a negative way. Our relationship with money was forever redefined, and careful budgeting became a top pri…

Investor Exits, Innovation, and Entrepreneurial Firm Growth

The bursting of the dot-com bubble in 2001 coincided with an abrupt and so far lasting change in the development of entrepreneurial venture-backed firms in the United States. Previously, entrepreneurs and investors commonly took viable young firms public through initial public offerings (IPOs). In some well-known cases, these firms subsequently grew into major, globally competitive corporatio…

Science, Technology & Innovation Indicators

The social sciences, humanities, and law (SSH) are known to have more heterogeneous publi- cation patterns than the sciences, medicine, and technology (STM). On the one hand, original peer-reviewed research is published in a wider range of formats.

Jean-Paul Sartre’s The Transcendence of the Ego (hereafter TE) first appeared as an article in the French academic journal, Recherches Philosophiques in 1937. It was among Sartre’s first philosophical publications, the outcome of a period of intense critical engagement with the phenomenological philosophy of Edmund Husserl (1859–1938). Sartre had become interested in phenomenology earlier…
