Docs for Developers: An Engineer's Field Guide to Technical Writing by
Learn to integrate programming with good documentation. This book teaches you the craft of documentation for each step in the software development lifecycle, from understanding your users' needs to publishing, measuring, and maintaining useful developer documentation. Well-documented projects save time for both developers on the project and users of the software. Projects without adequate documentation suffer from poor developer productivity, project scalability, user adoption, and accessibility. In short: bad documentation kills projects. Docs for Developers demystifies the process of creating great developer documentation, following a team of software developers as they work to launch a new product. At each step along the way, you learn through examples, templates, and principles how to create, measure, and maintain documentation--tools you can adapt to the needs of your own organization. What You'll Learn Create friction logs and perform user research to understand your users' frustrations Research, draft, and write different kinds of documentation, including READMEs, API documentation, tutorials, conceptual content, and release notes Publish and maintain documentation alongside regular code releases Measure the success of the content you create through analytics and user feedback Organize larger sets of documentation to help users find the right information at the right time Who This Book Is For Ideal for software developers who need to create documentation alongside code, or for technical writers, developer advocates, product managers, and other technical roles that create and contribute to documentation for their products and services.

Mechanical Engineering (4e) by
Now in its fourth edition, Mechanical Engineering has been revised to be in line with the technical qualifications of the new engineering apprenticeship standards at Level 3. In addition, four new chapters are included that cover static and dynamic engineering systems, fluid systems and additive manufacturing. The text covers eight units of the BTEC L3 Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Development Technical Knowledge qualification, as well as some content in the BTEC National Engineering Syllabus and BTEC L3 Aerospace and Aviation Engineering specialist qualifications. It also covers some of the content in the EAL L3 Advanced Manufacturing Engineering Development Technical Knowledge qualification. To enhance learning, mathematical theory is backed up with numerous examples to work through. There are also activities for students to complete out of the classroom that help put the theory into context. Test your knowledge quizzes throughout the text enable students to test their understanding, while end of unit review questions are helpful for exam revision and course work. This book is ideal for students undertaking Level 3 courses in engineering although students undertaking Level 4 engineering courses will also find the content of the book useful to their studies. Alan Darbyshire is a retired Further Education lecturer and experienced textbook author for Intermediate GNVQ and AVCE. He drafted several of the mechanical engineering units for the BTEC National specifications. Charles Gibson completed an aeronautical mechanical engineering apprenticeship, and then spent 16 years in the Royal Navy maintaining military helicopters before retiring from the military in 2008. Since then, he has worked in Further Education as the Head of Aeronautical Engineering at City of Bristol College where he also taught on several programmes, including BTECs in Aeronautical Engineering and Foundation Degrees. In 2013, he transferred to Yeovil College where he continues to teach on engineering programmes from Level 2 to Level 5. He has also been involved in the writing of engineering technical knowledge qualifications for several engineering apprenticeship standards.

Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater by
Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, 24th Edition provides the most up-to-date, comprehensive resource for measuring the biological, chemical, and physical attributes of waters and offers guidance for choosing among available methods for specific elements and compounds. Analysts, researchers, and regulators have relied on this expert consensus publication since 1905, and it remains a trusted source of accurate, proven methodology for analyzing natural waters, water supplies, and wastewaters. In the 24th edition, more than 90% of methods were revised to clarify procedures, update nomenclature, and ensure consistency. Four entirely new sections provide much-needed information on biological toxin analysis, the determination of hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acids, and the detection of Naegleria fowleri. This edition also boasts a major reorganization in three parts, making methods easier to access. Published by the American Public Health Association, American Water Works Association, and Water Environment Federation, Standard Methods is the culmination of thousands of hours of volunteer effort by experts in the field of environmental water analysis. The 24th edition updates include: 45 new or updated methods across Part 9000 Microbiological Examination 11 new or updated methods in Part 4000 Inorganic Nonmetallic Constituents 10 new or updated methods across Part 7000 Radioactivity 4 new sections (9750 Naegleria fowleri; 4500-H2O2 Hydrogen Peroxide; 4500-PAA Peracetic Acid; 10110 Algal Toxin Analysis: MC and NOD) 82 new or updated methods
Technology and Talent Strategies for Sustainable Smart Cities: Digital Futures by
Governments, communities, and developers are considering the use of ICT, renewable energies, and a host of other technologies to build smart cities that meet the economic, social, environmental, and cultural needs of the present as well as the future. However, are our cities ready for this technological shift? Can we put expansion behind us and focus on sustainability and re-generatability? Are the technologies themselves enough to create real impact and an overall healthier planet? Acknowledging the smart cities phenomenon not as a future goal but as an active part of our present, this book critically examines the strategies, business models, practices, tools, and actions needed to ensure that smart cities deliver the solutions they promise.
