Product Development: Principles and Tools for Creating Desirable and Transferable Designs
by Christopher A. Mattson Carl D. SorensenThis book explores the evolution of products from the beginning idea through mass-production. Rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all process, the authors explain the theory behind product development and challenge readers to develop their own customized development process uniquely suited for their individual situation. In addition to theory, the book provides development case studies, exercises and self-evaluation criteria at the end of each chapter, and a product development reference that introduces a wide variety of design tools and methods. Class-tested for three consecutive years by hundreds of students in four different courses, the book is an ideal text for senior design classes in mechanical engineering and related disciplines as well as a reference for practicing engineers/product designers.
Deploying Enterprise Systems: How to Select, Configure, Build, Deploy, and Maintain a Successful ES in Your Organization
by David MattsonThis book focuses on topics that business managers and project teams in global enterprises need to understand and follow to successfully deploy an Enterprise System (ES) for their organization. It explains: Why this type of software product will appeal to global organizations with the promise to replace their older individual systems with a single integrated ES and how an ES allows companies to integrate their unique operations with a single system of many integrated modules that are designed to provide prebuilt and tested applications; New concepts, steps, risks, and methods that an organization should follow to successfully create and deploy an ES; and the top 10 reasons that ES projects fail and the practices to manage these risks. In addition, the book describes a new Implementation Model and methods to ensure success in deploying an ES across a firm with several divisions, international operations, product lines, and infrastructure. Essentially, this book: Describes, in non-technical terms, what business functions this new software product will improve Shows how an enterprise should use this software product to accomplish their goals to install and use this new technology to upgrade their older systems Explains what an organization’s management and project teams should avoid during selecting, planning, and implementing their ES to avoid common mistakes Describes the skills and experience (including IT and general management) the Project Manager must have to lead the project team(s) to implement this advanced system.
The OpenMP Common Core: Making OpenMP Simple Again (Scientific and Engineering Computation)
by Timothy G. Mattson Yun (Helen) He Alice E. KonigesHow to become a parallel programmer by learning the twenty-one essential components of OpenMP.This book guides readers through the most essential elements of OpenMP—the twenty-one components that most OpenMP programmers use most of the time, known collectively as the “OpenMP Common Core.” Once they have mastered these components, readers with no prior experience writing parallel code will be effective parallel programmers, ready to take on more complex aspects of OpenMP. The authors, drawing on twenty years of experience in teaching OpenMP, introduce material in discrete chunks ordered to support effective learning. OpenMP was created in 1997 to make it as simple as possible for applications programmers to write parallel code; since then, it has grown into a huge and complex system. The OpenMP Common Core goes back to basics, capturing the inherent simplicity of OpenMP. After introducing the fundamental concepts of parallel computing and history of OpenMP's development, the book covers topics including the core design pattern of parallel computing, the parallel and worksharing-loop constructs, the OpenMP data environment, and tasks. Two chapters on the OpenMP memory model are uniquely valuable for their pedagogic approach. The key for readers is to work through the material, use an OpenMP-enabled compiler, and write programs to experiment with each OpenMP directive or API routine as it is introduced. The book's website, updated continuously, offers a wide assortment of programs and exercises.

Envisioning Education in a Post-Work Leisure-Based Society: A Dialogical Approach
by Eugene MatusovThis book is both an analytic and imaginative study of the future role of education in a leisure-based society. Grounded in a philosophical approach that draws on the work of Aristotle, Arendt, Keynes, and others, the volume deconstructs modern work-based society, as well as mainstream institutionalized education, which the author argues have systemically alienated students from their education, authorial agency, and society itself. The author argues for the value of intrinsic education, where the goals are based on students' own needs and interests, imagining new opportunities that can arise from the emergence of such a society.
Quick Functional Programming (Quick Programming)
by David MatuszekWhy learn functional programming? Isn’t that some complicated ivory-tower technique used only in obscure languages like Haskell? In fact, functional programming is actually very simple. It’s also very powerful, as Haskell demonstrates by throwing away all the conventional programming tools and using only functional programming features. But it doesn’t have to be done that way. Functional programming is a power tool that you can use in addition to all your usual tools, to whatever extent your current mainstream language supports it. Most languages have at least basic support. In this book we use Python and Java and, as a bonus, Scala. If you prefer another language, there will be minor differences in syntax, but the concepts are the same. Give functional programming a try. You may be surprised how much a single power tool can help you in your day-to-day programming.
Quick Java (Quick Programming)
by David Matuszek"We’ll be doing this next project in Java." Unfortunately, you’re a C++ programmer, or maybe a Python programmer. How are you going to get up to speed in a hurry? There are lots of Java books for beginners, telling you all about what a computer is and how it represents everything in bits. You don’t need that. At the other extreme, there are thousand-page tomes that you aren’t going to get through in a few days, if ever. You need something in-between. This book is intended to fill that gap. It’s written for the programmer who doesn’t need to be taught how to program, just how to do it in Java—and who needs to get started in a hurry. Java is covered from the inside out. First, all the things that go inside a class, most of which are practically identical to C++. After that, all the various and complicated kinds of classes and interfaces and how they relate to each other in large-scale programs. Testing is essential, so (unlike most Java books) JUnit is covered in detail. Then, in case you need to go in that direction, some functional programming, a little about parallel programming, and more than enough to get you started in building GUIs (graphical user interfaces) and doing animation. There’s a lot in this little book and, despite my best efforts, you won’t learn Java in a weekend. But it should be a good start. FEATURES Circular approach allows very fast entry into Java Full description of JUnit testing Summary of functional programming in Java Introduction to synchronization and parallel processing Extensive description of building GUIs
Quick JavaScript (Quick Programming)
by David MatuszekAre you an experienced programmer who wants to get started quickly in JavaScript and the HTML DOM? This is your book. Do you need encyclopedic knowledge of JavaScript and/or the HTML DOM? This book is not for you. Are you a novice who wants to learn to program? This book is not for you. In fact, this language is not for you. Get a good Python book. This book will get you programming in JavaScript as quickly as possible. In addition, it will provide you with a basic understanding of the Document Object Model, the massive data structure used to represent web pages. With these tools, you will be able to build interactive web pages. If you program in C++ or Java, there are parts of the book you can skip over because the JavaScript statements are exactly the same. These parts are clearly marked. JavaScript is the language—the only language—used by browsers. To create interactive web pages, you need to know both JavaScript and the DOM. This book will get you started.
Quick Python 3 (Quick Programming)
by David MatuszekAre you a programmer who wants to get started quickly in a new language? This book is for you. Are you a novice who wants to learn to program? This book is not for you. Are you a Python programmer who needs encyclopaedic information? This book is not for you. Like any mainstream language, Python has loops, if statements, assignment statements, functions, etc. I’ll show you what these look like in Python. I won’t waste your time telling you what they’re good for. Python has features you may not be familiar with--iterators, list comprehensions, maybe even dictionaries. I’ll spend more time on these. I’ll cover some of the library functions I found most immediately useful, and tell you where to find more. In short, this book will help you hit the ground running. Next week, you’ll be ready to buy that Python encyclopaedia.
Quick Recursion (Quick Programming)
by David MatuszekRecursion is the best tool for working with trees and graphs. But perhaps you’ve studied recursion and decided it’s too complicated. You just can’t think that way. That limits the kind of programming you can do. Good news! Recursion is actually easy. It’s just badly taught. See, many instructors talk about how the computer does it. They go on and on about what happens at each level of the recursion and how each level relates to other levels. The problem is that you can’t think in multiple levels. Nobody can. And you don’t have to. This book will show you how you can write recursive programs. Once you understand a few simple rules, you will wonder why you ever thought recursion was complicated. You’ll be able to write recursive programs quickly and easily. Well, as quick and easy as programming ever is, anyway.
