目前業界的軟體開發多半依照不同技術採水平分工模式, 例如：一組負責前端、一組負責後端, 但這跟一般企業的組織劃分有所不同, 導致所有開發案都必須跨部門、跨開發團隊進行協調, 團隊溝通變得越來越麻煩, 在經典之作《人月神話》(The Mythical Man-Month) 一書中就描述了這個情況。▌擺脫傳統單體應用的思維, 現在就將微前端導入你的專案中！ ▌微前端架構提倡的則是另一種做法：將應用程式垂直拆解, 每個區塊交給一個專責團隊負責, 一條龍地包含從資料庫連接到使用者介面的開發。不同團隊的前端單元會在客戶端的瀏覽器內整合, 構成最終的頁面。用更容易理解的說法, 微前端就像是帶有使用者介面的微服務架構。聽起來是要每個開發團隊各自為政, 相信有經驗的開發者可能馬上會想到：那採用不同的技術怎麼整合？會不會有效能瓶頸？類似的功能應該很容易重複開發吧？後端伺服器要各自架設？版本控制要各自維護？各做各的那介面怎麼統一？微前端架構當然不可能毫無缺點, 以團隊的角度, 程式碼或資源的冗餘自然是無可避免, 不過只要配套機制運作得當, 所帶來的可擴展性、靈活性，仍然是利大於弊。本書就要教你怎麼無痛建構、轉換到微前端的開發架構。別擔心要多學新的框架, 雖然確實有一些完全符合微前端概念的框架可以直接套用, 但作者想強調的是微前端架構的概念和選用時機, 若強迫用特定的框架, 很有可能馬上澆熄你的熱情。因此本書會在現有常見的網路技術規範下, 引入微前端的基本機制, 不管你的網站或應用程式採用哪種技術所建構, 幾乎都可以適用。為了適用各種不同的情境, 作者提供了超過 20 個開發上的使用案例, 協助你將手上專案順利導入微前端的開發架構。除了技術上的交流, 作者也在書中提供不少團隊開發該留意的經驗分享, 界定好開發團隊的責任歸屬, 做好跨團隊間的溝通協調, 讓微前端架構發揮最大價值。如果你受夠巨無霸一大包的前端單體架構所帶來的諸多困擾, 有了上述這些指引, 現在正是導入微前端架構的好時機, 對於新一代網頁開發人員、架構師或團隊領導者, 相信會帶來非常大的助益。本書特色: 全書共收錄超過 20 個微前端架構的使用案例, 從簡單的超連結、iframe 和 Ajax 入門, 到較為複雜的 SSI 伺服器端內嵌、ESI、Tailor、Podium、Web Components 以及 app

從那個夏天之後，我一直住在地獄裡…… 遊樂園裡一個被劍刺穿的箱子，裝著一具女人的屍體。是設計好的謀殺，還是失誤的魔術？難倒我們的警探了…… 瑞典銷售第一名｜北歐犯罪小說天后──卡蜜拉‧拉貝格 +瑞典讀心術大師──亨利克‧費克修斯聯手打造「米娜&文森──讀心術殺手三部曲」英語版影視改編2024年開拍 有潔癖強迫症的菜鳥警探米娜，和有亞斯伯格症的讀心術專家文森，因為調查一件魔術殺人案相遇了……魔術、歡樂、推理，及孤獨的童年，只有重新打開魔術箱子，才能縫合過去的創傷。繼「霏伊的復仇」《黃金鳥籠》《銀色翅膀》────最新鉅獻開創「復仇者故事」新格局 經典雙警探三部曲，菜鳥女警探米娜遇上讀心術專家文森，鋪陳出一椿神祕難解的魔術手法連續殺人案，全書以兩條不同時序的敘事線進行，隨著凶手輪廓慢慢浮出水面，讀者也將愈來愈靠近警探與讀心術專家不為人知的成長歷程。 斯德哥爾摩的蒂沃尼遊樂園裡，在靜止的旋轉木馬和令人不安的黑暗間，有人發現一個被三把劍刺穿過的箱子，裡頭裝了一具女屍體。對於警探米娜．達比里（Mina Dahbiri）來說，此案完全超出警方能力範圍，在朋友推薦下，她找來有魔術背景的讀心術專家文森•瓦爾德助她一臂之力。 究竟這是一場魔術失誤，還是有動機的謀殺？ 前來協助辦案的讀心術專家文森告訴米娜，這種魔術叫做「劍箱幻術」Sword in the box，但是魔術失敗了，驗屍時文森發現女人腿上被刻了羅馬數字三，先前的警察並未注意到。警方隨後接獲新報案，屍體以另一種魔術手法遭到殺害，身上被刻了羅馬數字六。顯然凶手以數字宣告其「倒數計時殺人」。 隨著案情開展，這些數字密碼拼湊出一個驚人的線索──指向讀心術專家文森之名。難道文森是加害者？倒數殺人法現在描準了最後一位受害者，我們的警探米娜…… 米娜和文森在辦案過程中，兩人變得越來越緊密，米娜表面看似不是靈光的警察，她有歇斯底里的細菌恐懼強迫症，而文森癡迷於數字和儀式，患有亞斯伯格症，無法和人好好溝通交流。當米娜被嘲笑時文森倒覺得米娜有其可愛之處，兩個性格奇異的人在彼此身上找到理解和認同，米娜對現實事務思考出色，文森在抽象領域技高一絕，偵探過程簡直是天作之合。 //【卡蜜拉．拉貝格出版作品】《霏伊的復仇》（Fayes Revenge

查理．蒙格（波克夏‧海瑟威副董事長）：「伊隆．馬斯克是有史以來最勇敢的天才！」 太空巡航不再是燒錢白日夢，怎麼辦到？翻轉造車工藝，創始人之謎與真相？如何利用語義樹，變成心智卓越的根基？ ★★揭露矽谷傳奇的背後祕辛！★★ 作者克里斯‧麥可納布藉由這本傳記，深入剖析馬斯克的生平經歷以及他如何塑造事業軌跡與發展方向。探討他的心態和人格特質如何影響成功？如何在失敗中獲取經驗並不斷探索創新？此外，還將關注他在龐大的商業版圖，怎麼保持獨特的價值觀與目標追求！★頑強個性與塑造事業的軌跡 他是創業家伊隆‧馬斯克，引領著科技和創新的浪潮。從年少時的好奇心和冒險精神，到在史丹佛大學的短暫博士生涯，以及隨後的創業歷程，始終將「冒險和學習」作為塑造自己的關鍵元素。 他的商業版圖始於Zip2、X.com和SpaceX等企業，並擴展至特斯拉、太陽能、腦機接口（Neuralink）和無聊公司（The Boring Company），以及買下推特布局社群媒體。 鮮明的個性和形象引領風潮，影響力不亞於任何電影明星，總是處於媒體的聚光燈下，這也帶來了一個問題，人們經常只記得表面成就，卻忽略內在的價值觀和目標追求的過程。克里斯‧麥可納布文中特別提到：「伊隆．馬斯克和多數人都不同，卻也不代表他活在和我們不同的星球上。我會說，馬斯克的確腦力超群、拚勁過人，打破了思考和行動之間的障礙，光就這點，我們就能從他身上學到許多。」 ★打造矽谷傳奇的決心和領袖作風 伊隆．馬斯克以其創新精神和科技洞察力引領著矽谷的浪潮，改變人類對太空探索、電動車、網路銀行、金融交易、太陽能、能量儲存、隧道開挖和人工智慧等概念的認知。他的思維方式和個性備受爭議，但他的成就卻是無可爭辯。他的思考脈絡，以及將其應用於解決現實世界問題的能力，依然能夠給人們帶來許多啟發……，譬如： ◆「破壞性創新」的縝密思維 馬斯克不僅關注科技的未來，也十分清楚人類所面臨的挑戰。他強調人類的脆弱性，並警惕可能的毀滅性事件和人口爆炸等威脅
