自從Oracle接手Java的發展之後，Java開始了天翻地覆的變化，加入了許多新功能，這些新功能都是為了跟上最新流行的程式語言與新型態的發布、維護架構。其中最重要的就是SE8的Lambda運算式與SE9的模組（module）。自SE9開始，Oracle就採取敏捷開發的精神，每半年就發布一個新版本，不過這些大多是非長期支援版本，新版本一旦發布，舊的非長期支援版本就無法下載JDK了。所以開發與學習的首選通常以長期支援版本為主。依據Oracle的規劃，長期支援版本會在三年左右的時間發布，其中，SE11及SE17都是長期支援版本（LTS），本書的改版政策也跟隨此政策，只會推出適用於長期支援版本的書籍。Java的新功能眾多，如何將這些新功能完美融入原有功能的講解是本書的重點，例如本書將Lambda運算式放在第十五章，讓讀者可以於學習過內部匿名類別後才學習如何利用Lambda運算式來取代內部匿名類別，並應用於視窗程式（事件傾聽處理）。本書將模組（module）放在第十一章的類別庫（package）之後，讓讀者理解如何透過模組來保護類別庫。至於SE10新增的小功能：var型態推斷宣告更是被不露痕跡地加入到第三章與第十五章，因為在SE11時，var型態推斷宣告已經被推廣至Lambda運算式，免除了程式設計師為了回傳值型態還需查閱手冊的麻煩。本書改版自暢銷數萬本的《初學指引》系列，從SE8版開始更名為《掌握》系列。這是因為作者認為本書已經不再適用於只想學些皮毛的讀者，而是期望將讀者由初學者導引成為Java初級工程師，要做到這一點，就應該在第一本學習書籍當中，充分掌握Java的設計精隨以及關鍵基礎技術，故重新命名為《掌握》系列。本書以細心規劃的進度，培養讀者在十六周的學習中，成功變身為Java初級工程師，同時釐清一些對於初學者容易產生困擾的技術。同時本書也搭配精心設計的累積式習題，讓讀者能夠循序漸進地真正成為一位Java程式設計師。本書的特色如下:．長支援版．內容由淺入深．整合模組與類別庫．釐清複雜的泛型等語法．Java SE7到SE11/17的無縫接軌．釐清函數式介面與抽象類別的差異．釐清匿名類別與Lambda運算式的適用場合．釐清Java只有傳值呼叫，沒有如同C#的傳參考呼叫．透過「Coding偷撇步、注意事項」加強讀者的程式設計實務經驗．透過「延伸學習」明確引導讀者，未來的學習

不必懂會計金融，練就一生受用的思考技術！什麼是「財務思維」？就是把各項方案在日後會產生的所有影響，都換算成金額，再來個別做比較，然後從中選出最好一種的思考方式。在日常生活中，我們的食衣住行都與「錢」脫離不了關係。「錢」是最貼近生活的一把量尺，只要把一切都換算成金額來思考，也就是運用所謂的「財務思維」，就更容易看清楚事物的真實樣貌。那麼，「會計」與「財務」有什麼不同？會計能正確地呈現「過去的事」，財務則是會告訴我們「未來的每個選項」能帶來什麼價值。「會計思維」跟「財務思維」有什麼不同？會計思維考慮的是當下，財務思維考慮的是未來。我們試著把「會計思維」和「財務思維」套用在日常生活的實際狀況：年輕人很少為自己的老後作打算吧？尤其是剛出社會、單身沒成家、沒有小孩的人，掌握自己每天的生活，每個月收入也都能隨心所欲地花用。在這種情況下，「只要每個月不透支」就好，這是以「活在當下」為出發點的想法。以單一月份的生活開銷為基礎，來思考自己的資產配置，可說是「會計思維」的特質。這種只看會計PL（損益表）的作法，又可稱為「PL思維」。然而，只看每日收支的人，恐怕很難想像何謂資產管理。而要做資產管理，就必須祭出不同於「PL思維」的觀念才行──就是所謂的「財務思維」。除了要考慮現在有沒有錢，更重視日後的儲蓄。「財務思維」是一種在思考財富安排之際，懂得放眼未來的思維。在職場上，「財務思維」可以幫助我們──判斷部屬的提案是否可行？思考新事業或決定是否進行設備投資？該不該任用新進人員？決定與客戶之間的交易條件。……等等諸多事項。在日常生活中，「財務思維」可以協助我們──買房划算？還是租屋省錢？該不該讓孩子上補習班？要補幾科？儲蓄險、醫療險、壽險、投資型保險，到底要投保哪一種？……等等各種民生方面的決定。依據財務觀點所提供的資訊來做判斷，會比憑感覺、靠經驗，甚至是參考別家公司案例更省時，成功機率也更高。運用財務思維進行決策時，需掌握四大步驟：1.揪出「隱形」成本──考量「機會成本」與忽略「沉沒成本」……2.掌握「時間差」──「固定費」與「變動費」到底該節省哪一個？3.「比較」差異性──將「判斷標準」套用在各選項，做出比較。4.「拆解」各項要素──數字過大難以想像，拆解成「小單位」即可一目了然。本書採用循序漸進的方式，帶領讀者走進財務不難的專業領域，以淺顯易懂的文字，啟發讀者的理科腦，培養正確的財務思

Cachon Matching Supply with Demand, 4e is a clear, concise and more rigorous approach to an introductory Operations management course.

The authors strive for “real simple” by using as little mathematical notation as possible, focusing on many real-world examples and consistent terminology and phrasing throughout.

From the author of the book that became the iconic The Social Network movie, here is the definitive take on one of the wildest stories ever -- the David-vs.-Goliath GameStop short squeeze, a tale of fortunes won and lost overnight, marking an unforgettable event in financial history.

It's the story of financial titans like Gabe Plotkin of hedge fund Melvin Capital, one of the most respected and staid funds on the Street, billionaires like Elon Musk, Steve Cohen, Mark Cuban, Robinhood co-CEOs Vlad Tenev and Baiju Bhatt, and Ken Griffin of Citadel Securities. Over the course of four incredible days, each in their own way must reckon with a formidable force they barely unde
