Annotation. In the past, most project management books have focused on managing one project, but in today''s increasingly busy and stressful world, it has become necessary to calmly and efficiently manage more than one project--often several projects--successfully at the same time. This learned skill is valuable not only for project managers, but also for anyone responsible for the successful outcome of multiple projects, whether it is at the office or in the home! Dobson says that you must first have a strong foundation in time management and priority setting, then introduces the concept of Portfolio Management to timeline multiple projects, determine their resource requirements, and handle emergencies, putting you in charge for possibly the first time in your life! The Juggler''s Guide to Managing Multiple Projects does not forget the paperwork. Dobson supplies examples of business-tested forms, charts, logs, tables, and worksheets--everything project managers need to crash, level, analyze, plan, and controltasks. Forms were never better explained or illustrated. To ensure creative success, Dobson adds tips, shortcuts, and tricks of the project management trade with each example.

D''abord il y a l''histoire. Celle de Le Ly, petite paysanne vietnamienne. Vie simple et heureuse, rythmée par le riz qu''on plante, le culte des ancêtres, les moussons. Et puis vient la guerre. Français, Américains. Ils piétinent les rizières, ils tuent, ils violent. Familles écartelées. Enfants embrigadés. Misère. Souffrance... Dépossédée de sa terre, de sa fierté, Le Ly survivra à l''horreur. Ensuite il y a le film. Oliver Stone, fasciné par l''odyssée spirituelle de Le Ly, choisit, après Platoon et né un 4 juillet, de la mettre en images. Enfin, il y a l''histoire derrière l''histoire : le tournage du film. Des moments saisissants, une émotion à fleur de mots. Celle des acteurs et figurants vietnamiens qui retrouvent leur identité, leurs racines, leurs traditions. Un drame universel, un témoignage bouleversant...

Computer programming is a practical art that is to be bolstered by theoretical wisdom but developed as a skill by continual practice. The approach of this book is that the reader will be writing complete programs (albeit rather trivial ones) at the earliest possible stage. There are no prerequisites, no prior experience with or theoretical knowledge of computers. The text can be used by beginning or advanced PDP-11 users. Beginning with encoding a great variety of small, individual tasks which are then utilized in building larger, complete programs using these individual blocks, or modules.
