This new edition could do the same for yours.” —Mike Cohn, Author of Succeeding with Agile, Agile Estimating and Planning, and User Stories Applied “. . . filled with practical advice, both technical and professional, that will serve you and your projects well for years to come.” —Andrea Goulet, CEO, Corgibytes, Founder, LegacyCode.Rocks “. . . lightning does strike twice, and this book is proof.” —VM (Vicky) Brasseur, Director of Open Source Strategy, Juniper Networks The Pragmatic Programmer is one of those rare tech books you’ll read, re-read, and read again over the years. Whether you’re new to the field or an experienced practitioner, you’ll come away with fresh insights each and every time. Dave Thomas and Andy Hunt wrote the first edition of this influential book in 1999 to help their clients create better software and rediscover the joy of coding. These lessons have helped a generation of programmers examine the very essence of software development, independent of any particular language, framework, or methodology, and the Pragmatic philosophy has spawned hundreds of books, screencasts, and audio books, as well as thousands of careers and success stories. Now, twenty years later, this new edition re-examines what it means to be a modern programmer. Topics range from personal responsibility and career development to architectural techniques for keeping your code flexible and easy to adapt and reuse. Read this book, and you’ll learn how to: 
<ul>
<li>Fight software rot</li> <li>Learn continuously</li> <li>Avoid the trap of duplicating knowledge</li> <li>Write flexible, dynamic, and adaptable code</li> <li>Harness the power of basic tools</li> <li>Avoid programming by coincidence</li> <li>Learn real requirements</li> <li>Solve the underlying problems of concurrent code</li> <li>Guard against security vulnerabilities</li> <li>Build teams of Pragmatic Programmers</li> <li>Take responsibility for your work and career</li> <li>Test ruthlessly and effectively, including property-based testing</li> <li>Implement the Pragmatic Starter Kit</li> <li>Delight your users</li> </ul>Written as a series of self-contained sections and filled with classic and fresh anecdotes, thoughtful examples, and interesting analogies, The Pragmatic Programmer illustrates the best approaches and major pitfalls of many different aspects of software development. Whether you’re a new coder, an experienced programmer, or a manager responsible for software projects, use these lessons daily, and you’ll quickly see improvements in personal productivity, accuracy, and job satisfaction. You’ll learn skills and develop habits and attitudes that form the foundation for long-term success in your career. You’ll become a Pragmatic Programmer.

The "A-Z Chemistry Workbook" provides support, development and motivation from the first day of your course to the night before the exams. Arranged alphabetically, the "Workbook" entries provide self-testing questions, ranging from elementary, fill-in-the-blanks exercises through to more testing questions. Many of the questions are written as puzzles to encourage an active approach to learning. In the final section of the book the approach is more exam-focused with actual exam question models being provided. Answers are given for these and every other question in the book. This title is ideal for going over work that was not fully understood the first time around. It is useful as a reminder before tackling tough homework questions. It is ideal for revising for class tests and for the real examinations. The A-Z format makes it easy to dip in for a quick burst of work at home, in breaks at school or college and while travelling. It is easy-to-use, with A-Z cross-referenced format. It is suitable for A level Chemistry and GNVQ courses with chemistry content; and first-year undergraduates.
