JavaScript Bibliography
by Safari Books Online Content TeamJavaScript used to be notoriously difficult to work with. Everything had to be written from scratch, every browser worked differently, and common development niceties like debuggers didn’t exist. Now JavaScript has all of the tools that developers need. Libraries like jQuery, AngularJS, Backbone.js and Ember.js make it easier to support a wide variety of browsers. Unit testers like Yui Test and QUnit make it possible to write rock solid, tested code. And all modern browsers included a suite of developer tools to ease the pains of building web apps. We have chosen in this bibliography a selection of JavaScript books that can take you from newbie all the way to ninja. Begin by learning the basics and best practices. Once you are comfortable, move onto more advanced topics like unit testing, performance enhancements, and design patterns. Learn how libraries like AngularJS, Backbone.js, Ember.js and jQuery can increase your productivity. Step into the fast growing world of mobile development with web frameworks like jQuery Mobile and cross-platform frameworks like PhoneGap. And finally, go full circle with JavaScript on the server with Node.js. With JavaScript you can create dynamic websites for desktop and mobile browsers, create fast and efficient servers, and build apps to sell for nearly every smartphone market place. JavaScript’s popularity is poised for continued growth and this bibliography can help you to grow your JavaScript skills.

Jazz Age Chicago: Crucible of Modern America
by Joseph GustaitisWhen people imagine 1920s Chicago, they usually (and justifiably) think of Al Capone, speakeasies, gang wars, flappers and flivvers. Yet this narrative overlooks the crucial role the Windy City played in the modernization of America. The city's incredible ethnic variety and massive building boom gave it unparalleled creative space, as design trends from Art Deco skyscrapers to streamlined household appliances reflected Chicago's unmistakable style. The emergence of mass media in the 1920s helped make professional sports a national obsession, even as Chicago radio stations were inventing the sitcom and the soap opera. Join Joseph Gustaitis as he chases the beat of America's Jazz Age back to its jazz capital.

Jean Piaget and Neuchâtel: The Learner and the Scholar
by Anne-Nelly Perret-Clermont Jean-Marc BarreletJean Piaget is widely acknowledged as one of the most important scholars of the twentieth century. His passionate philosophical search for an understanding of the nature of knowledge led him to make major contributions to the study of child development and epistemology. But how did his early life in Neuchâtel inspire him to embark on this search? Taking a socio-historical and cultural perspective, this book outlines the development of Piaget's understanding of major issues regarding mind, faith, science, logic, peace, and social rights in a time of anxiety. and world wars The international and multidisciplinary contributors investigate Piaget the adolescent as he begins his quest for autonomy of reason and sets out to create his own explanatory system for cognitive growth. The latter part of the book goes on to consider the early reception of Piaget's work in different cultural contexts and his impact on issues of psychology and educational reform. Piaget's theoretical system can be seen as an expression of the values he developed during his childhood and adolescence as he searched for the conditions of reciprocal relationships and rational dialogues. Jean Piaget and Neuchâtel demonstrates that in today's climate, the questions Piaget addressed remain very relevant and invite new enquiries from different standpoints. This book will therefore be of interest to psychologists, educators, and philosophers. This book is published with the support of Pro Helvetia, Swiss Arts Council.
