Agile Technical Practices Distilled

A learning journey in technical practices and principles of software design

By: Pedro M. Santos,Marco Consolaro,Alessandro Di Gioia

Delve deep into the various technical practices, principles, and values of Agile. Key FeaturesDiscover the essence of Agile software development and the key principles of software designExplore the fundamental practices of Agile working, including test-driven development (TDD), refactoring, pair programming, and continuous integrationLearn and apply the four elements of simple designBook Description The number of popular technical practices has grown exponentially in the last few years. Learning the common fundamental software development practices can help you become a better programmer. This book uses the term Agile as a wide umbrella and covers Agile principles and practices, as well as most methodologies associated with it. You’ll begin by discovering how driver-navigator, chess clock, and other techniques used in the pair programming approach introduce discipline while writing code. You’ll then learn to safely change the design of your code using refactoring. While learning these techniques, you’ll also explore various best practices to write efficient tests. The concluding chapters of the book delve deep into the SOLID principles - the five design principles that you can use to make your software more understandable, flexible and maintainable. By the end of the book, you will have discovered new ideas for improving your software design skills, the relationship within your team, and the way your business works. What you will learnLearn the red, green, refactor cycle of classic TDD and practice the best habits such as the rule of 3, triangulation, object calisthenics, and moreRefactor using parallel change and improve legacy code with characterization tests, approval tests, and Golden MasterUse code smells as feedback to improve your designLearn the double cycle of ATDD and the outside-in mindset using mocks and stubs correctly in your testsUnderstand how Coupling, Cohesion, Connascence, SOLID principles, and code smells are all relatedImprove the understanding of your business domain using BDD and other principles for "doing the right thing, not only the thing right"Who this book is for This book is designed for software developers looking to improve their technical practices. Software coaches may also find it helpful as a teaching reference manual. This is not a beginner's book on how to program. You must be comfortable with at least one programming language and must be able to write unit tests using any unit testing framework.

The Handbook of Histopathological Practices in Aquatic Environments

Guide to Histology for Environmental Toxicology

By: Pedro M. Costa

The Handbook of Histopathological Practices in Aquatic Environments: Guide to Histology for Environmental Toxicology offers readers in aquatic biology and other water-based environmental sciences a comprehensive resource on histopathology, which is a key tool in the growing field of ecotoxicology. This work brings together the necessary knowledge, from sample preparation, to trait identification, and scoring and data treatment. Furthermore, with examples from several groups of organisms (from worms to fish), these practices can be applied across a wide array of aquatic ecosystems. This book provides a step-by-step approach to solving the questions researchers encounter in aquatic biology and related fields. - Offers examples from a broad range of aquatic organisms, replacing sparse, dispersed and often aged literature - Covers a variety of organisms, including hard to find, non-commercial and non-model species - Provides an in-depth understanding of how and why techniques are used, as opposed to just a list of procedures - Combines, in a single work, everything from sample handling to scoring

Boolean Representations of Simplicial Complexes and Matroids

By: John Rhodes,Pedro V. Silva

This self-contained monograph explores a new theory centered around boolean representations of simplicial complexes leading to a new class of complexes featuring matroids as central to the theory. The book illustrates these new tools to study the classical theory of matroids as well as their important geometric connections. Moreover, many geometric and topological features of the theory of matroids find their counterparts in this extended context. Graduate students and researchers working in the areas of combinatorics, geometry, topology, algebra and lattice theory will find this monograph appealing due to the wide range of new problems raised by the theory. Combinatorialists will find this extension of the theory of matroids useful as it opens new lines of research within and beyond matroids. The geometric features and geometric/topological applications will appeal to geometers. Topologists who desire to perform algebraic topology computations will appreciate the algorithmic potential of boolean representable complexes.
