This book is aimed at readers who are interested in software development but have very little to no prior experience. The book doesn’t have any new information compared to what you can find online or in other books; it has two purposes: 1. It includes what I think is important for software development from a large variety of topics, saving the reader from the dilemma “what should I learn” 2. It collates relevant information from lots of sources in one book, sav- ing the reader from going through several separate web sites and books It aims to contain an overview of almost everything that I think is impor- tant for software developers. It doesn’t contain everything; but it should contain enough for the reader to understand software development, and to be able to read about and understand any topic in further detail as needed. The book focuses on teaching the core principles around software develop- ment. It uses several technologies to this goal (e.g. C, Python, JavaScript, HTML, etc.) but is not a book about the technologies themselves. The reader will learn the basics (or in some cases more) of various technolo- gies along the way, but the focus is on building a foundation for software development. This book does have the aim of supporting interested people in pursuing a job in software development, though I obviously can’t guarantee a job. I’ll expand on this further below. Why are you writing this book? My wife was asking if she could become a software engineer like I did. I have some years of experience in software engineering, and also am now hiring and hence interviewing software engineers. I checked the offerings around Computer Science at the local university, but it seems to me like 8 1.1 Introduction there’s a bit of a gap between what industry needs and what the schools are producing, at least in my local area. To some extent this is expected: univer- sities live in the academic world, often without an explicit goal of ensuring the graduates are employed by the industry. To mitigate, universities may offer degrees directed more towards real world, but these run into the risk of not being relevant or effective enough for the industry. So I ended up teaching my wife what I think is the right stuff. Now, since we also have a little daughter, finding time for both of us at the same time was sometimes difficult, so I’d write down some notes or exercises for her that she could dive into when she had time. I ended up writing more and more and structuring things better and all of it ended up being this book. So, I’m writing this book to teach my wife all the necessary basics around software development so that she’ll be able to land a job. However, the book could be useful to others as well. No, really, why are you writing this book? If I’m being completely selfish, it’s because I’m hiring software engineers and am finding it difficult to find any. Without going into my specific re- quirements, I want to include enough in the book that if the reader were to do all of the following: • Read and understand everything in the book • Finish all the exercises • Write at least some personal mini project in some language (shouldn’t be a problem after the above two points) • Interact with the rest of the software development community, may it be through Reddit or other social media, chat, Stack Overflow or GitHub …then I think that that person should have the technical skills to at least se- riously be considered for a software engineering position. (Apart from technical skills, you’ll also need the interpersonal skills and common sense, or analytical and critical thinking skills, among others, be- fore I’d consider you for a position. I’m expecting the reader to obtain these some other way than reading this book.) 9 1 The beginning Do you mean, if I do the points above, I too can become a profes- sional software engineer? I obviously can’t guarantee anything. Actually getting a job depends on the economy and the job market, where you live, what you’re willing to do and work for etc. But I do think that after doing all the above points, the reader should have enough or almost enough technical skills for many software en- gineering jobs.

  • Dropping Hints: Estimating the Diets of Livestock in Rangelands Using DNA Metabarcoding of Faeces
    Metabarcoding and Metagenomics 2: 1–17 DOI 10.3897/mbmg.2.22467 Research Article Dropping Hints: Estimating the diets of livestock in rangelands using DNA metabarcoding of faeces Timothy R. C. Lee1, Yohannes Alemseged2, Andrew Mitchell1 1 Australian Museum, Sydney, Australia. 2 NSW Department of Primary Industries, Trangie, Australia. Corresponding author: Timothy R. C. Lee ([email protected]) Academic editor: Emre Keskin | Received 23 November 2017 | Accepted 17 February 2018 | Published 14 March 2018 Abstract The introduction of domesticated animals into new environments can lead to considerable ecological disruption, and it can be difficult to predict their impact on the new ecosystem. In this study, we use faecal metabarcoding to characterize the diets of three ruminant taxa in the rangelands of south-western New South Wales, Australia. Our study organisms included goats (Capra aega- grus hircus) and two breeds of sheep (Ovis aries): Merinos, which have been present in Australia for over two hundred years, and Dorpers, which were introduced in the 1990s. We used High-Throughput Sequencing methods to sequence the rbcL and ITS2 genes of plants in the faecal samples, and identified the samples using the GenBank and BOLD online databases, as well as a reference collection of sequences from plants collected in the study area. We found that the diets of all three taxa were dominated by the family Malvaceae, and that the Dorper diet was more diverse than the Merino diet at both the family and the species level. We conclude that Dorpers, like Merinos, are potentially a threat to some vulnerable species in the rangelands of New South Wales.

In the case of insects, most published DNA barcoding studies focus on species of the Ephemeroptera, Trichoptera, Hymenoptera and especially Lepidoptera. In this study we test the efficiency of DNA barcoding for true bugs (Hemiptera: Heteroptera), an ecological and economical highly important as well as morphologically diverse insect taxon. As part of our study we analyzed DNA barcodes for 1742 specimens of 457 species, comprising 39 families of the Heteroptera. We found low nucleotide distances with a minimum pairwise K2P distance ,2.2% within 21 species pairs (39 species). For ten of these species pairs (18 species), minimum pairwise distances were zero. In contrast to this, deep intraspecific sequence divergences with maximum pairwise distances .2.2% were detected for 16 traditionally recognized and valid species. With a successful identification rate of 91.5% (418 species) our study emphasizes the use of DNA barcodes for the identification of true bugs and represents an important step in building-up a comprehensive barcode library for true bugs in Germany and Central Europe as well.

  • Automation Basics for the Small Public Library.Pdf
    Automation Basics for the Small Public Library Why automate? Automation makes a library’s collection available online not only to local patrons but to library patrons statewide. Resource sharing is important to small libraries with limited budgets. Small libraries need to automate to bring them up to today’s standards so that they can be viable in their communities and in the larger library world. We will review the following during this course First steps Weeding Learning vocabulary and acronyms Planning Retrospective Conversion/Data Conversion Selecting an Automation Software (ILS/LMS) Weeding Weeding your collection is one of the first and most important steps in the automation process. You don’t want to spend money and time creating computer records for books that haven’t circulated in years, are old and out-dated, and have no value to your library. An excellent weeding process, CREW, has been developed by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. CREW Download the PDF of CREW: A Weeding Manual for Modern Libraries Weeding The Crew (Continuous Review, Evaluation, and Weeding) Guidelines, developed by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission is a system that has worked for libraries nationwide for over 30 years. It is a library’s responsibility to maintain a collection that is free from outdated, obsolete, shabby, or no longer useful items. You can read through the CREW Manual and use it as a guideline to develop your own policy for weeding your collection for your automation project and weeding after automation. Weeding using CREW The system uses a numbering system that consists of: Copyright date (the age of material in the book.) The last time the book was used or checked out Negative factors, called MUSTIE factors are also used to evaluate whether an item should be weeded.

    Application of SWOT, Principal Component and Cross-case analysis for Implementing and Recommending an ICT Technology in Library - A Case study V. Kadam Department IT, Dr. BATU,Lonere,Tal-Mangaon,Dist.-Raigad,(M.S.)India. [email protected] Abstract: Many educational organizations and universities are using computer based management information system for increasing efficiency of work in the organizations. Library management plays a vital role in academic organizations. Bar code is one of the computer based technology which helps to increase efficiency and speed of the organization effectively and qualitatively. Though each bar code character is represented by a group of bars and spaces, computer based software can easily understand it. Organizations have to implement new technologies to meet goal of the organization. Implementation of bar code technology in the Library of Dr. BATU, is a tool to minimize the time taken at the circulation counter in charging / discharging the reading material. The new technologies may be a bit difficult to be adopted in the initial stages, but in the long run they improve the image of the organization. The paper is a case study based on the bar coding at Dr. BATU. This paper renders on implementation of Bar code technology and the advantages gained from using bar code technology by looking into each work process in the case library. For better understanding of the bar code based library management system, this case study has been conducted. We used a SWOT analysis for getting actual picture of the situation raised after implementation of the bar code system in the library.
