About the Author Andy Rathbone started geeking around with computers in 1985 when he bought a boxy CP/M Kaypro 2X with lime-green letters. Like other budding nerds, he soon began playing with null-modem adapters, dial- ing up computer bulletin boards, and working part-time at Radio Shack. In between playing computer games, he served as editor of the Daily Aztec newspaper at San Diego State University. After graduating with a comparative literature degree, he went to work for a bizarre under- ground coffee-table magazine that sort of disappeared. Andy began combining his two main interests, words and computers, by selling articles to a local computer magazine. During the next few years, he started ghostwriting computer books for more-famous com- puter authors, as well as writing several hundred articles about com- puters for technoid publications like Supercomputing Review, CompuServe Magazine, ID Systems, DataPro, and Shareware. In 1992, Andy and DOS For Dummies author/legend Dan Gookin teamed up to write PCs For Dummies. Andy subsequently wrote the award-win- ning Windows For Dummies series, Upgrading & Fixing PCs For Dum- mies,MP3 For Dummies, and many other For Dummies books. Today, he has more than 15 million copies of his books in print, which have been translated into more than 30 languages. Andy lives with his most-excellent wife, Tina, and their cat in Southern California. He wants a new LCD panel monitor for his main computer, but then the cat wouldn’t have anyplace to sleep.

This preview contains the first section of that full-sized Agile book. While only a small portion, there’s enough here to get you started on the topic and be of value. It’s my Mini- mum Viable Product, and since it’s the “minimum,” I’m distribut- ing it for free among my current contacts and anyone else who asks for it until the full version is published. Though free, please respect my copyrights and do not post it or otherwise distribute the PDF. On a warm Sunday evening in 2017, I was driving to a church meeting with my son and brother-in-law. The former was asleep in the back seat, and the latter was asking me about my most recent consulting client. After I droned on for about five minutes about the successes and unfinished challenges, he said something like, “Well, Agile is popular everywhere now. In a few years, it will be something else.” The first part of his statement is correct: Agile is popular. Back in 2013, I did a survey on the relative popularity of Agile versus other business philosophies.

  • Identifying First Editions (Updated 2018) the Table Below Lists the First Trade
    Identifying first editions (updated 2018) Compiled by Bev Vincent with the assistance of materials made available by Rich DeMars, John Mastrocco, Steve Oelrich and Shaun Nauman. E-mail corrections or questions to [email protected] The table below lists the first trade edition identification criteria for each of Stephen King's books. The early Doubleday books all say "First Edition" explicitly on the copyright page (CP). There are other identifiers for these books as well. For books that contain strings of numbers to denote the printing, the important consideration is the presence of the numeral 1 in that string, regardless of the format of the numbers. Some possible variations of the printing numbers are: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 All three of these denote a first edition. The numeral 1 will be removed for a second printing. Black House is the exception. First edition copies state "First Edition" on the copyright page and the number sequence will be "2 4 6 8 9 7 5 3". Trim size is given because Book Club editions are often smaller than trade editions. Also, Book Club edition dust jackets (DJ) are occasionally found on first editions to replace lost or damaged jackets. Book Club edition dust jackets are easily identified because they do not have a price marked inside the front cover. Later printing trade edition dust jackets will often have a different price from what is found in the table.

  • A Glance at Stephen King's Life
    Appendix: I A Glance at Stephen King’s Life Illustration 20: Stephen King 182 Stephen Edwin King was born on September 21, 1947 in Portland, Maine, USA, to Donald Edwin King and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury. When he was two years old, his father (born David Spansky) deserted his family and Ruth raised Stephen and his brother David by herself, sometimes under great financial strain. The family moved to Ruth’s home town of Durham, Maine but also spent brief periods in Fort Wayne, Indiana and Stratford, Connecticut. King attended Durham Elementary Grammar School and then nearby Lisbon High School. He has been writing since an early age. When in school, he wrote stories plagiarised from what he’d been reading at the time, and sold them to his friends. This was not popular among his teachers, and he was forced to return his profits when this was discovered. From 1966 to 1970, King studied English at the University of Maine at Orono. There, King wrote a column in the school magazine called “King’s Garbage Truck”. At the university, he also met Tabitha Spruce who he married in 1971. King took on odd jobs to pay for his studies. One of them was at an industrial laundry, from which he drew material for the short story “The Mangler”. This period in his life is readily evident in the second part of Hearts in Atlantis After finishing his university studies with a Bachelor of Science in English and obtaining a certificate to teach high school, King took a job as an English teacher at Hampden Academy in Hampden, Maine.
