Discover how to create software products your customers will love!In today's competitive software market, to attract and retain users and customers, software products and websites need attractive, eye-catching interfaces, and they must provide frustration-free user experiences. Whether you're designing a mobile, tablet, desktop, or web-based software application, Designing Usable Apps will teach you the principles you need to know and the tried-and-tested techniques you'll want to use to make your product easy to learn and fun to use. Designing Usable Apps is a compact, practical guide to the key ideas, principles, and practices of User Experience design and usability evaluation. Read this book, and you will:
<ul>
<li>Discover the fundamental psychological principles behind how people use computing devices and software</li>
<li>Learn techniques for discovering the needs and characteristics of your users</li>
<li>Become familiar with the recommended techniques and project processes, both for agile and traditional teams, that will help ensure usability is built in to your product throughout the software development lifecycle</li>
<li>Understand techniques for creating effective prototypes and lightweight software design specifications</li>
<li>Grasp the key processes and techniques for evaluating and testing the usability of software designs, prototypes, and products</li>
<li>Recognize what problems cause user frustration and dissatisfaction, so you can identify and correct usability issues</li>
</ul>

Geospatial Analysis: A Comprehensive Guide

This Handbook provides a wide-ranging and comprehensive coverage of statistical concepts and methods. It has been designed to be accessible to a wide range of readers - from undergraduates and postgraduates studying statistics and statistical analysis as a component of their specific discipline (e.g. social sciences, earth sciences, life sciences, engineers), to practitioners and professional research scientists. However, it is not intended to be a guide for mathematicians, advanced students studying statistics or for professional statisticians. For students studying for academic or professional qualifications in statistics, the level and content adopted is that of the Ordinary and Higher Level Certificates of the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), offered until 2017. Much of the material included in this Handbook is also appropriate for the Graduate Diploma level also, although we have not sought to be rigorous or excessively formal in our treatment of individual statistical topics, preferring to provide less formal explanations and examples that are more approachable by the non-mathematician with links and references to detailed source materials for those interested in derivation of the expressions provided. The Handbook is much more than a cookbook of formulas, algorithms and techniques. Its aim is to provide an explanation of the key techniques and formulas of statistical analysis, often using examples from widely available software packages. It stops well short, however, of attempting a systematic evaluation of competing software products. A substantial range of application examples is provided, but any specific selection inevitably illustrates only a small subset of the huge range of facilities available. Wherever possible, examples have been drawn from non-academic and readily reproducible sources, highlighting the widespread understanding and importance of statistics in every part of society, including the commercial and government sectors.

In this work we examine two of the major contributors to energy consumption and global greenhouse gas emissions: transport and the built environment. In this connection our title, “Towards Net Zero”, embraces the efforts made by individuals, organizations, national governments and international agencies to reduce the level of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from all sources, including transport and the built environment. These efforts to reduce GHG emissions are being combined with programs designed to offset residual emissions by absorption or ‘capture’ of carbon dioxide, in order to achieve a “net zero” or “nearly net zero” carbon emissions position.“Towards Net Zero” has been arranged into two distinct but closely related “Books”, each of which is preceded by brief Timeline diagrams: Book One is sub-titled “A Geospatial and Historical Perspective: How Did We Get Here?”. In Book Two, sub-titled “An Economic and Environmental Perspective: Where are We Heading?”, we take a look forward to the future of critical services and infrastructure.
