[名家名著] 34 軟體設計耦合的平衡之道：建構模組化軟體系統的通用設計原則 Balancing Coupling in Software Design: Universal Design Principles for Architecting Modular Software Systems ♛　Vaughn Vernon Signature Series系列叢書　♛ 理解耦合對軟體設計決策的影響──然後駕馭它！ 如果你想打造模組化、可演進和具備高韌性的軟體系統，就必須設計出正確的耦合關係。你做的每一個設計決策都會影響耦合，而它們會回過頭來影響你將來可用的設計選項。然而，直到這本書出現之前，耦合很少得到應有的重視。 打從軟體工程的開天闢地之初，人們就發現，若要建構模組化軟體系統，正確的耦合管理就是非常重要的一件事。這個主題多年來被廣泛研究過，但有些知識已遭遺忘，有些則難以套用在當今的開發環境。作者根據他自身累積的知識，打造一個通用模型，甚至針對現代軟體工程的慣例來量身調整，替模組化軟體設計帶來令人耳目一新的觀點。 透過清楚說明這些原則與實踐，作者將引導你釐清耦合的多維度特性，並示範如何讓耦合成為強大的設計工具，以有效管理軟體複雜性、提高模組化程度。本書說不定會顛覆你對軟體設計的全面認知！ ❑ 內容亮點 ☑︎定義耦合的概念，以及它在系統設計與系統架構中扮演的角色 ☑︎解釋耦合為何會增加系統複雜性，但亦能促進模組化程度 ☑︎介紹一個整體模型，將耦合變成設計模組化軟體的工具 ☑︎展示如何演進設計決策，來支援軟體系統的持續成長 ☑︎以基於真實使用案例的詳細範例示範書內討論的原則

Revitalization in Asia: Adaptive Reuse in Macao, Mumbai, and Penang offers a clear understanding of the value of sustainable adaptive reuse within an Asian context. Three highly urbanized places (Macao, Mumbai, and Penang) are considered in detail from conservation and planning perspectives (with essays and timelines for each). For each place, five case studies offer a comparative framework for understanding similarities and differences in adaptive reuse projects. Six essays examine adaptive reuse in terms of its connection to the three dimensions of sustainability, with reference to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. This book is envisioned as a continuation of Asian Revitalization: Adaptive Reuse in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore.

一步步掌握 Spring Boot 的用法， 建立 Java 後端工程師必備的技術能力！ 【書籍簡介】 本書內容改編自第 15 屆 iThome 鐵人賽 Software Development 組的優選系列文章《Spring Boot 零基礎入門》。在現今 Java 的工作中，Spring Boot 這項技術已經是不可或缺的一部分，打開各大徵才網一看，大部分的 Java 工程師職缺都會要求求職者有使用過 Spring Boot 的經驗，甚至已經到了「不會 Spring、不談就業」的程度，因此學習 Spring Boot 已經是成為 Java 工程師的必備條件。 但是 Spring Boot 中所包含的技術非常多，對於剛入門的人來說，要從哪裡開始學起會是一個大問題，並且網路上的資料比較零碎，用東拼西湊的學習方式，也很難能夠真正的了解 Spring Boot 中的特性。 因此本書的目標在於幫助沒接觸過（甚至沒聽過）Spring Boot 的人，了解 Spring Boot 到底是什麼，並且能夠運用 Spring Boot 搭建一個簡易的後端系統。如果你打從心底想要從頭開始學習Spring Boot、或是你想了解業界目前最流行的 Spring Boot 的用法，那就跟著這本書一起，從零開始入門 Spring Boot 吧！ 【目標讀者】 ❏ 想學習 Spring Boot，但不知道從何入門 ❏ 看過 Spring Boot 的相關介紹，但不了解實際要如何運用 【閱讀完本書之後，你可以學到】 ❏ 了解什麼是 Spring Boot，以及如何運用 IntelliJ 這套軟體開發 Spring Boot 程式 ❏ 了解 Spring 框架的兩大特性 - IoC 和 AOP ❏ 了解 Spring MVC、Spring JDBC 的基本用法 ❏ 能夠運用 Spring Boot，實作出一個簡易的後端系統 【閱讀本書前，需具備的前置知識】 閱讀本書前，必須具備「Java 程式語言」和「MySQL 資料庫設計」的知識。 其中 Java 需要了解基本 Java 的語法，並且至少要知道「多型（polymorphism）」的概念，而 MySQL 則需要了解基本的 SQL 語法（Select、Update、Insert、Delete）的用法。 另外 Mac / Windows 皆可閱讀本書

An indispensable reference to the development of the Chinese economy—past, present, and future.—DALE W. JORGENSON, Samuel W. Morris University Professor, Harvard University Since China undertook economic reform and opened its economy to the world in the late 1970s, its economy has been growing at an average annual rate of over 9 percent for more than four decades. No other economy in recorded history has grown at such a high rate and for such a long period as China has done. The questions that naturally arise are: Was the Chinese economy a miracle? Or was it a mere bubble? Will the Chinese economy begin to stagnate like the Japanese economy did in the 1990s, and perhaps decline? Will it be able to escape the “middle-income trap”? If it is not a miracle, can the Chinese development experience be replicated elsewhere? This book provides a comprehensive and detailed discussion of the remarkable growth of the Chinese economy over the past decades, by scrutinising the sources of e

In Rosie Young: A Lifetime of Selfless Service, Moira Chan-Yeung presents a brief history of Professor Young’s remarkable career in medical education and administration at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and her wide-ranging public service to the community over many decades. As the first female dean of HKU’s Faculty of Medicine, her career was deeply intertwined with the socio-economic development of Hong Kong. After her retirement from HKU, she continued to serve HKU and the community up to the present. This book illustrates her many contributions to the development of medical education in Hong Kong and to the university administration at HKU. Professor Young’s extensive public service in the field of medicine also helped improve primary care, hospital care, and public health in Hong Kong. In short, this book provides a valuable record of a female giant in Hong Kong’s medical history and documents her selfless and enduring service to the HKU community and Hong Kong society.

台灣推理小説的發展，具有與台灣文學史相同共存的現代性特質。台灣的推理小説，從日治時期開始至今，不論是理論或創作，都深受日本的影響，尤其是關於「本格」的探索。關於台灣推理小説的發展和流派，陳國偉教授屢有論述。為這一專輯而寫的導言，簡要概述之外，推陳出新，提出台灣推理小説作爲「文學現代性的起點」的新觀點，將上世紀六〇年代台灣現代主義風潮，提前到日治時期引進偵探小説的19世紀後半，當台灣第一部偵探小説於1898年1月7日首次出現之時。The development of Taiwan’s mystery novels shares modernist characteristics and co-exists with the mainstream history of Tai-wan literature. Taiwan’s mystery novels, from the Japanese colonial period to the present, have been deeply influenced by Japan, both in theory and creation, especially in the exploration of so-called “original style.” Professor Kuo-wei Chen has discussed the development and genre of mystery novels in Taiwan in different fora. The introduction written for this issue, in addition to including a brief overview, breaks new ground and puts forward a new perspective on Taiwanese mystery novels as “the starting point of literary modernity.” He argues that the origins of Taiwanese modernism should be found not in the 1960s but with the introduction of detect

A FRESH, FUNNY, UP-CLOSE LOOK AT HOW SOUTH KOREA REMADE ITSELF AS THE WORLD'S POP CULTURE POWERHOUSE OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY By now, everyone in the world knows the song "Gangnam Style" and Psy, an instantly recognizable star. But the song's international popularity is no passing fad. "Gangnam Style" is only one tool in South Korea's extraordinarily elaborate and effective strategy to become a major world superpower by first becoming the world's number one pop culture exporter. As a child, Euny Hong moved from America to the Gangnam neighbourhood in Seoul. She was a witness to the most accelerated part of South Korea's economic development, during which time it leapfrogged from third-world military dictatorship to first-world liberal democracy on the cutting edge of global technology. Euny Hong recounts how South Korea vaulted itself into the twenty-first century, becoming a global leader in business, technology, education, and pop culture. Featuring lively, in-depth reporting and

In Christianity and Education in Modern China, Wong Man Kong, George Kam Wah Mak, and other contributors demonstrate how Christianity served as a driving force in the development of modern education in China. Each of the chapters offers new insights into Christian involvement in different issues concerning education in modern China.

In this open access book, Carlos Montemayor illuminates the development of artificial intelligence (AI) by examining our drive to live a dignified life. He uses the notions of agency and attention to consider our pursuit of what is important. His method shows how the best way to guarantee value alignment between humans and potentially intelligent machines is through attention routines that satisfy similar needs.Setting out a theoretical framework for AI Montemayor acknowledges its legal, moral, and political implications and takes into account how epistemic agency differs from moral agency. Through his insightful comparisons between human and animal intelligence, Montemayor makes it clear why adopting a need-based attention approach justifies a humanitarian framework. This is an urgent, timely argument for developing AI technologies based on international human rights agreements.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycolle
