Enduring CSS
Key Features
The problems of CSS at scale - specificity, the cascade and styles intrinsically tied to element structure.
The shortfalls of conventional approaches to scaling CSS.
The ECSS methodology and the problems it solves.
How to develop consistent and enforceable selector naming conventions with ECSS.

Book Description
Learn with me, Ben Frain, about how to really THINK about CSS and how to use CSS for any size project! I'll show you how to write CSS that endures continual iteration, multiple authors, and yet always produces predictable results. Enduring CSS, often referred to as ECSS, offers you a robust and proven approach to authoring and maintaining style sheets at scale.
Enduring CSS is not a book about writing CSS, as in the stuff inside the curly braces. This is a book showing you how to think about CSS, and be a smarter developer with that thinking! It's about the organisation and architecture of CSS: the parts outside the braces. I will help you think about the aspects of CSS development that become the most difficult part of writing CSS in larger projects.
You ll learn about the problems of authoring CSS at scale - including specificity, the cascade and styles intrinsically tied to document structure. I'll introduce you to the ECSS methodology, and show you how to develop consistent and enforceable selector naming conventions. We'll cover how to apply ECSS to your web applications and visual models. And how you can organise your project structure wisely, and handle visual state changes with ARIA, providing greater accessibility considerations. In addition, we'll take a deep look into CSS tooling and process considerations. Finally we will address performance considerations by examining topics such as CSS selector speed with hard data and browser-representative insight.
Enduring CSS is a book for considering how to write CSS in the most effective manner, and how you too can create an enduring CSS code base, regardless of project size. Take a journey with me if you want to explore these topics and deepen your thinking as a CSS author.

Thinking Recursively
In my experience, teaching students to use recursion has always been a difficult task. When it is first presented, students often react with a certain suspicion to the entire idea, as if they had just been exposed to some conjurer’s trick rather than a new programming methodology. Given that reaction, many students never learn to apply recursive techniques and proceed to more advanced courses unable to write programs which depend on the use of recursive strategies. This book is intended to demystify this material and encourage the student to “ think recursively.”

Design Pattern - Elements of Reusable Object Oriented Software
Capturing a wealth of experience about the design of object-oriented software, four top-notch designers present a catalog of simple and succinct solutions to commonly occurring design problems. Previously undocumented, these 23 patterns allow designers to create more flexible, elegant, and ultimately reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves.
The authors begin by describing what patterns are and how they can help you design object-oriented software. They then go on to systematically name, explain, evaluate, and catalog recurring designs in object-oriented systems. With Design Patterns as your guide, you will learn how these important patterns fit into the software development process, and how you can leverage them to solve your own design problems most efficiently.
Each pattern describes the circumstances in which it is applicable, when it can be applied in view of other design constraints, and the consequences and trade-offs of using the pattern within a larger design. All patterns are compiled from real systems and are based on real-world examples. Each pattern also includes code that demonstrates how it may be implemented in object-oriented programming languages like C++ or Smalltalk.

The Most Important Skill
Any Software Developer Can Have Is…
Knowing How to LEARN
Design Teardown Pro
Out-of-the-box UI elements are BORING, and you know it. If you only assemble your app with these pieces, your users are not going to be motivated to explore your app's full potential.
But it doesn't have to be that way!
You can build amazing interactions to make your app fun and delightful to use! Just like the ones in Inbox, Duolingo and Tweetbot, to name a few.
Creating these interactions doesn't have to be hard. You just need to know the basic principles behind it and Design Teardowns is built specifically to help you with that.
It contains step-by-step instructions and explanations to help you understand how to create these interactions, and apply them to your own app.
Fullstack React - The Complete Guide to React JS and Friends
Stop wasting your time
learning React with incomplete and confusing tutorials
There are so many incorrect, confusing, and out-of-date blog articles
One tutorial says one thing and another says something completely different.
There are too many options
There are fifty different boilerplates and a dozen different Flux implementations. Which one is best?
React is only the view layer?
Then how are we supposed to write our models and controllers? Do we even have those anymore?
Googling only takes you so far...
There aren't many good tutorials that show how everything works together.
Time is money
And piecing together hundreds of blog posts isn't exactly fun.
React and all the crazy libraries update so often, how can anyone expect to keep up?
With such an active community, there are so many updates it feels impossible to know about what's best and what's just noise.
How does it all fit together?
React is a modular ecosystem but API docs often focus on one library and don't show the forest for the trees.
Still not hitting your deadlines?
Learning a new framework can be fun, but we're spending all this time learning and we still have a job to do...
The Completed Guide to Understanding Swift Optional
In this free guide you will learn:
What problems optionals solve and why exactly you need them in the first place. You can start using them immediately in your code, even if they seem to make no sense to you right now. You will finally understand where ! and ? go, what they mean in each context and use them confidently without having the compiler bothering you all the time
When it’s not dangerous and actually needed to use implicit unwrapping, even if it has caused many crashes in your app until now
Some of the advanced optional techniques that the pros use to simplify their code, even if you don’t know anything about functional programming, monads and functors.
A detailed explanation of all those obscure terms you keep reading on the web, like unwrapping, optional binding, nil coalescing and guard statements. Never find yourself again not understanding the articles you read online because these terms have no meaning for you
Parsing JSON in Swift
Parsing JSON in Swift will teach you to harness the power of Swift and give you confidence that your app can gracefully handle any JSON that comes its way.
You'll learn:
- How to use NSJSONSerialization to transform JSON into Swift types, and why you should avoid using AnyObject whenever you can
- The dangers of forced type casting and how to avoid them
- Simple strategies you can use to make your JSON deserialization more concise, readable, and elegant
- Whether to return nil, empty, or throw an error when transforming JSON into an array of model objects
- How to write unit tests to increase your confidence in your parser's correctness
You'll go from fighting an uphill battle against an uncooperative compiler to having a JSON parser that's proven to be stable with automated tests.
Six Step Relational Database Design 2nd Edition
Six-Step Relational Database DesignTM bridges the gaps between database theory, database modeling, and database implementation by outlining a simple but reliable six-step process for accurately modeling user data on a Crow's Foot Relational Model Diagram, and then demonstrating how to implement this model on any relational database management system.
The second edition contains a new chapter on implementation that goes through the steps necessary to implement each of the case studies on a relational database management system, clearly relating the design to implementation and database theory. In addition, questions are also included at the end of each of the six steps and one of the previous case studies has been replaced, making the case study selection more diverse.
Six-Step Relational Database DesignTM uses three case studies and starts with a statement of the problem by the client and then goes through the six steps necessary to create a reliable and accurate data model of the client's business requirements. This model can then be used to implement the database on any relational database management system.
Six-Step Relational Database DesignTM should be used as a handbook for students and professionals in the software-development field. The technique described in this book can be used by students for quickly developing relational databases for their applications, and by professionals for developing sturdy, reliable, and accurate relational database models for their software applications.
