This book is about the practical experience of pursuing a career in software engineering-not about software engineering itself. Because all your knowledge of how to write code, solve interview questions, and design systems won’t help you answer questions like, "How should I choose my first team?" "How do I negotiate my compensation?" and "How do I get promoted?"

English | 2007 | pages: 271 | ISBN: 0060884754, 0060884770 | PDF | 1,2 mb
The summer of 1995 marks Kate Colter’s fifteenth year in the small town of Hayden, Wyoming. She is a woman who is generally happy in her marriage and with her now predictable day-to-day life as wife, mother, and part-time breadwinner. Even though she is a New Englander at heart, Kate has reached a point where rodeos, summer heat, sharp light, and the vast, desolate beauty of the West have become almost second nature to her. She loves her husband and daughter, is fond of her neighbors, and enjoys the company of her mother-in-law. Yet, privately, she longs for the conversations and stories of her past, and she can’t help but feel disconnected from the people around her.

The Pastoral Clinic Addiction and Dispossession along the Rio Grande


Free Download Angela Garcia, "The Pastoral Clinic: Addiction and Dispossession along the Rio Grande"
English | 2010 | pages: 265 | ISBN: 0520262085 | PDF | 2,4 mb
The Pastoral Clinic takes us on a penetrating journey into an iconic Western landscape-northern New Mexico’s Española Valley, home to the highest rate of heroin addiction and fatal overdoses in the United States. In a luminous narrative, Angela Garcia chronicles the lives of several Hispanic addicts, introducing us to the intimate, physical, and institutional dependencies in which they are entangled. We discover how history pervades this region that has endured centuries of social inequality, drug and alcohol abuse, and material and cultural dispossession, and we come to see its experience of the opioid epidemic as a contemporary expression of these conditions, as well as a manifestation of the human desire to be released from them. With lyrical prose, evoking the Española Valley and its residents through conversations, encounters, and recollections, The Pastoral Clinic is at once a devastating portrait of immigration and addiction, a rich ethnography of place, and an eloquent call to political activists, politicians, and medical professionals for a new ethics of substance abuse treatment and care.

Free Download Ron Levy, "Tales of a Road Dog: The Lowdown Along the Blues Highway"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 1492154741 | EPUB | pages: 512 | 1.8 mb
"Wow, Ron Levy’s book is AMAZING! Wonderful reading, entertaining, fun, educational and, well, AMAZING!" – Norman Darwen – Blues Matters! – UK "I want everyone to know, Ron Levy is one of the very best musicians I’ve ever played and worked with. Now, he’s even written a great book! I’m so proud of my ‘son’." B.B. King 4/13/13 "Ron Levy endures as an ingenious Blues keyboardist – touring most notably with B.B. King for 7 years – and he was there when B.B. played Muhammad Ali’s private parties, as well as stadium shows in Africa and throughout the world. He was the ultimate road warrior, also tickling the ivories for Albert King, Roomful of Blues and his own Ron Levy’s Wild Kingdom, while meeting everyone from Elvis Presley to Nina Simone. He distills it all in his lively, remarkably honest book (NOW IN PAPERBACK), ‘Tales of a Road Dog.’ Nearly everything is unique in these gritty and humorous stories of survival with some of music’s great pioneers and the musicians who powered them on stage. If you thought you knew about music history, trust me that you’ll know even more when you delve into Levy’s rich and colorful text. This guy can write as well as he can play." – STEVE MORSE – Boston Globe, Billboard and Rolling Stone. A to Levy’s critically acclaimed album "FUNKY FIESTA!" is included. – Also available as a Web-book & eBook!

Playing Along Digital Games, YouTube, and Virtual Performance


Free Download Playing Along: Digital Games, YouTube, and Virtual Performance By Kiri Miller
2012 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0199753458 | PDF | 3 MB
Why don’t Guitar Hero players just pick up real guitars? What happens when millions of people play the role of a young black gang member in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? How are YouTube-based music lessons changing the nature of amateur musicianship? This book is about play, performance, and participatory culture in the digital age. Miller shows how video games and social media are bridging virtual and visceral experience, creating dispersed communities who forge meaningful connections by "playing along" with popular culture. Playing Along reveals how digital media are brought to bear in the transmission of embodied knowledge: how a Grand Theft Auto player uses a virtual radio to hear with her avatar’s ears; how a Guitar Hero player channels the experience of a live rock performer; and how a beginning guitar student translates a two-dimensional, pre-recorded online music lesson into three-dimensional physical practice and an intimate relationship with a distant teacher. Through a series of engaging ethnographic case studies, Miller demonstrates that our everyday experiences with interactive digital media are gradually transforming our understanding of musicality, creativity, play, and participation.
