Because Sometimes Bureaucracy Gets in the Way
Information Systems influence the way we live our lives, integrate into our careers, and are the services we offer. Unfortunately, the issues faced by those involved in constructing those systems are often masked and poorly understood by those on the outside.This book introduces some of those issues to those that may be crossing the boundary from outside into the world Software Engineering or Information System development. Whether you are a manager trying to gain insight into the problems faced by your departments, or a student facing the daunting task of entering the corporate world, this book shows you some of contrasting needs, desires and expections of customers, managers, and organziations. It offers a general perspective of the world of information systems and how they integrate (or don't) directly into our lives, with a healthy dose of eye-rolling and sarcasm throughout... because whether we like it or not, sometimes bureaucracy gets in the way.

Practical Database Programming with SQL and PL/SQL
The book "Practical Database Programming with SQL and PL/SQL" is the result of my enthusiasm on database technologies, the need to write a guide to SQL and PL/SQL programming that can be practical and complete. Today in the digital world, databases have become a core element of all applications of software development, data managing and business intelligence. SQL, the language of relational databases, and PL/SQL, the extended PL/SQL procedure, the languages needed by functional IT personnel working with Oracle databases. I have written this book to cater for individuals who have just started learning database programming and also those who want to learn more about SQL and PL/SQL. Whether you are a student, looking for a job as a professional developer, or you an IT expert already and you need to add skills in database programming, this book has something to enrich your skills.

Mastering Practical C Programming Techniques
I would like to invite you to our delightfully informative session on ""Mastering Practical C Programming Techniques". This book is made with the belief that you don't need a complicated textbook with theoretical concepts to start programming in C language, from zero level up. Whether you are just embarking on your journey into the realm of programming or you are an expert developer wanting to improve your C programming skills, this book is created to be your guide, offering the practical examples needed to develop efficiently and well-organized C programs. Why C?The C programming language, has undoubtedly earned a well-deserved place in the history of programming as one of the most vital and as a result the most used programming languages. This sharpness, efficiency, and proximity-to-the machine characteristics make it fit for system programming included in embedded systems and many applications. Applying of C language to any program can be made well if the several components of that language are understood fully, and with the aim of this book it is to accomplish a full understanding of C language in a way that it can also be enjoyable. What This Book Offers ""Mastering Practical C Programming Techniques" does it very practically by moving on from one practical program to the next, making you a better programmer each time. Every strategy in our programs are supported by in depth instructional material which covers three areas saliently, key concepts, appropriate methods, and what not to do. The examples segment comprise different case studies from the creation of a basic console program up to more complex projects from which you will gain hands-on experience and immediately use it in your own projects. Key Features - Progressive Learning: The organized curriculum is structured in a logical order, first presenting new concepts and then gradually increasing the complexity and adding to the previous items. - Clear Explanations: Every program will have a detailed explanation with it so you not only will know how to do it right but also the concept behind the lines of code. - Practical Tips: As we get through the book, you will encounter various tips, hints, and examples that will improve your coding practices and make your code cleaner and more efficient. - Challenges: By the way, at the end of every chapter, we give you some challenges as well to reinforce your learning. This is aim of the exercises, they are intended for critical thinking and practical application of the principles exposed. Who This Book Is For This book is therefore meant for the general public, including the newbies as well as programmers who want to add C language to their programming skills. Either as a student, an amateur or a professional developer, with the illustrative character of every chapter, you are sure to find something of interest. Programming is a blend of art and science and the more you practice, you will be able to master C operations. Hence, go along on this path with us and let's see what practical C programming scenarios are waiting for us. Happy Coding !
