Classification in the Wild: The Science and Art of Transparent Decision Making
by Gerd Gigerenzer Konstantinos V. Katsikopoulos Ozgur Simsek Marcus BuckmannRules for building formal models that use fast-and-frugal heuristics, extending the psychological study of classification to the real world of uncertainty.This book focuses on classification--allocating objects into categories--"in the wild," in real-world situations and far from the certainty of the lab. In the wild, unlike in typical psychological experiments, the future is not knowable and uncertainty cannot be meaningfully reduced to probability. Connecting the science of heuristics with machine learning, the book shows how to create formal models using classification rules that are simple, fast, and transparent and that can be as accurate as mathematically sophisticated algorithms developed for machine learning.

Classroom Dynamics: Implementing a Technology-Based Learning Environment
by Ellen B. Mandinach Hugh F. ClineThis book reports an attempt to introduce change in schools using a computer-based curriculum innovation for teaching higher-order thinking skills to middle and high school students. One of the volume's themes is the extraordinary complexity and difficulty of facilitating such change in schools. A corollary of that theme is the fact that patience must be an integral part of the strategy when promoting or studying change in schools. In reporting the activities during the early years of a technological innovation and research project in which the emphasis thus far has been primarily on establishing the change, this book focuses on describing the move to a technology-based learning environment. As such, it details an ongoing process -- a fascinating process -- and one that is likely to be repeated in the near future in countless schools throughout the nation.
Classroom Integration of Type II Uses of Technology in Education
by Cleborne D MadduxDevelop new strategies for using computers in the classroomEducators have talked about using information technology to improve teaching since the beginning of the modern computer movement but true integration remains an elusive goal-for most. Classroom Integration of Type II Uses of Technology in Education finds teachers who have managed to take advantage of the sophistication, power, and affordability of today&’s technology to develop new and better strategies for learning, despite the absence of an effective institutional infrastructure. This unique book reviews effective Type II teaching applications and software used at all educational levels, including Lego/Logo technologies, idea technologies, graphics software, laptop computers, and handheld computers. Information technology in schools has failed to fulfill its considerable potential because without a widespread instructional support system, computers are generally poorly used and not integrated meaningfully into classroom activities. But some educators have still been able to implement Type II applications of information technology in their educational settings. Classroom Integration of Type II Uses of Technology in Education looks at their innovative methods of using computers to bring about more effective teaching-and learning.Classroom Integration of Type II Uses of Technology in Education examines: computer activities of grade 1-5 students using Lego/Logo technologies using Kid-Pix graphics software for creative activities the Technology Integration Assessment Instrument (TIAI) gender disparity in computer-oriented problem solving a three-tiered, idea-technology classification system pre-service teacher preparation assistive technology definitions, legislation, and implementation issues lesson plans and document techniques for laptop computers an action/instructional model for using handheld wireless computers in the classroom Classroom Integration of Type II Uses of Technology in Education is an invaluable resource for academics working in information technology and education, and for K-12 teachers and administrators at all levels.

This book, updated for the recently released C++20 standard, is a must for every developer, software architect, or team leader who is interested in well-crafted C++ code, and thus also wants to save development costs. If you want to teach yourself about writing better C++ code, Clean C++20 is exactly what you need. It is written for C++ developers of all skill levels and shows by example how to write understandable, flexible, maintainable, and efficient C++ code. Even if you are a seasoned C++ developer, there are nuggets and data points in this book that you will find useful in your work.If you don't take care with your codebase, you can produce a large, messy, and unmaintainable beast in any programming language. However, C++ projects in particular are prone to get messy and tend to slip into a maintenance nightmare. There is lots of C++ code out there that looks as if it was written in the 1980s, completely ignoring principles and practices of well-written and modern C++.It seems that C++ developers have been forgotten by those who preach Software Craftsmanship and Clean Code principles. The web is full of C++ code examples that may be very fast and highly optimized, but whose developers have completely ignored elementary principles of good design and well-written code. This book will explain how to avoid this and how to get the most out of your C++ code. You'll find your coding becomes more efficient and, importantly, more fun.What You Will LearnGain sound principles and rules for clean coding in C++Carry out test-driven development (TDD)Better modularize your C++ code baseDiscover and apply C++ design patterns and idiomsWrite C++ code in both object-oriented and functional programming stylesWho This Book Is ForAny C++ developer or software engineer with an interest in producing better code.

Clean Code für Dummies (Für Dummies)
by Jürgen LampeClean Code ist eine wichtige Methode, um zu besserer Software zu kommen. Zu beachten sind Korrektheit, Verständlichkeit, Lesbarkeit und Ressourcenverbrauch. Programmieren ist aber mehr als ein Handwerk. Klarer Code ist auch Ausdruck klaren Denkens und beginnt damit schon vor der Niederschrift. Regeln sind wichtige Stützen, aber das eigenständige Denken, Entscheiden und Abwägen ersetzen sie nicht. Leider wird darüber fast nie gesprochen. Das Buch soll helfen, dieses Manko zu beseitigen. Es vermittelt handwerkliche Fertigkeiten, stellt das Programmieren aber gleichzeitig auch in den Gesamtprozess der Softwareentwicklung. Das entlastet Sie als Programmierer!
