'For Dummies', book, Cloud, Dummies, ebook, HR, Oracle, SaaS, virtualization

It seems to becoming the done thing to license the use of the ‘For Dummies’ brand and publishing books (or are they large booklets) on a specific subject. These can then often be picked up as print freebies at conferences. I saw a couple at the Oracle Cloud Event today – though I’d share the ebook versions here:

  • Database Storage for Dummies
  • SaaS for Dummies
  • In Memory Data Grids for Dummies
  • Enterprise Mobility for Dummies
  • Server Consolidation for Dummies
  • LTFS for Dummies
  • Modern HR for Dummies
  • Social Recruiting for Dummies
  • Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure for Dummies
  • Server Virtualization for Dummies
  • Enterprise Computing with Oracle Solaris for Dummies

Packt Java EE with Eclipse 2nd Edition

books, ebook, free, Packt, review

Might be a little early for Packt, but I have completed reviewing the 2nd Edition of Java EE with Eclipse for Packt now.  So the book should be available in the next couple of months.

On the subject of Packt, the Free Learning scheme they are running continues. I’ve seen a couple of books repair since the start of the promotion. But for main part each day is new and different and covers a wide range of things from JQuery and Node, to Hadoop and into Drupal and WordPress. So worth checking back on a daily basis.

All of this means time to do some more Oracle writing.

Free eBook

 book 
Designers must understand user needs to create any product. But what type of data should you look at?While we’ve all heard about big data, talk of “thick” data remains scant. Generally speaking, big data is quantitative; it gives you the what, where, and when, while thick data provides the qualitative perspective—the how and the why.

Pamela Pavliscak, founder of design research firm Change Sciences, says you need all the data—both big and thick—to fully understand how users interact with websites, apps, and other products. In her new report, Data-Informed Product Design, she outlines a way to use data of all kinds to understand the relationship between people and technology.

Up until now, there hasn’t been much information on how to combine quantitative big data with qualitative thick data. That’s where this report can help. If you’re involved in any aspect of product design, this is indispensable reading. It’s useful, and we’re pleased to offer it to you, for free!

Get the free ebook now.

We’re progressing with our Oracle Cloud Integration book idea now that we’ve had some publisher interest. 1st cycle around defining the book should be submitted in the next day or so.  Will starting to write the initial chapters very soon. Exciting times as they say.

A while back I read the book Psychology of Computer Programming by Gerald Weinberg – something of a seminal text, full of interesting observations on how people and environments can impact productivity of programming.  Anyone working within a development environment would probably benefit from reading.  But whilst I was reading the book, I did create a mind map of what I was reading which I have made available here.

Latest Packt Publishing promotion

ebook, free, Packt, promotion

Packt are repeating the promotion that they ran earlier in the year where each day they give away a free ebook. The books so far are (at least from my perspective) a little niche – developing for Kinect for example. Go check it out each day until the 17th you might see something that works for you.
