Scott Kelby, the outspoken, founding Editor of Mac Today magazine, takes a no-holds-barred look at what it's really like to be a Macintosh user in a PC-dominated world. This is definitely not another look at Apple's history. Instead, it's a hilarious, off-the-wall view of the Macintosh culture and lifestyle with a take-no-prisoners policy toward PC users. Microsoft, Apple, and anyone else who gets in his way. No topic is off limits and Mac fanatics will cheer as he really tells it like it is, using his unique brand of humor, in this PC-slammin', Microsoft-bashing, all-out Macintosh love fest! Plus, the book is filled with enough "Mac Ammo" to put any PC user down on the ground, cowering in the fetal position, begging for mercy in 60 seconds or less. If you're ready to finally see someone settle the score, this book is for you!

This is not a book about algorithms. This is not a book about architecture. This is not a book about frameworks. This is not even a book about project management, agile or otherwise.This is a book about "the other things" that are important to writing and maintaining a sustainable code base.It's also a book about automation of parts of the programming process.If you're a CTO, the economic case for "code quality plus automation" is already strong, and getting stronger with each new iteration of hardware.If you're a programmer (maybe aspiring to be a CTO), it's about being able to concentrate on the stimulating, interesting, and creative parts of the craft, and getting the tedious parts done for you.Much of the book is about the general craft of programming and helping programmers become more productive, and should be useful no matter what programming language(s) you've chosen.However, I find it works better to illustrate principles with examples. And this edition of the book picks examples from the PHP programming language.
