Trust me-better yet, trust Joe. Stopping regularly to take a closer look at how you're playing this bigger game will make the difference between the life you're currently living and the one you've always dreamed of.-Lou Holtz, football coach Joe Sweeney was used to going a mile a minute. A successful sports agent and entrepreneur, he believed that if he didn't act fast, life would pass him by. It took slowing down to show Sweeney the truth. It didn't matter how fast he was going or how successful he became. He needed to decide what he really wanted from life. Putting aside distractions and diversions, Sweeney committed himself to a more purposeful existence, and now, he wants to help you do the same. In this inspirational guide, Sweeney teaches you how to stop and reflect on your life, form a game plan for your future, see the big picture, find the wisdom in others, ask the right questions, discover the life you were meant to live, and realize that life has an expiration date. Fun features like "go to the tape" reflections questions, a downloadable reflection journal, and action prompts help you internalize his message and transform your life. After Further Review is a truly inspiring work that examines cultural, spiritual, and psychological barriers to engaging in reflection that will improve the quality and purpose of life. Joe writes from the heart about struggles with identity and fears of letting go.-Fr. Tony Zimmer, pastor, St. Anthony on the Lake

A Tester's Guide to .NET Programming focuses solely on applied programming techniques for testers. You will learn how to write simple automated tests, enabling you to test tools and utilities. You will also learn about the important concepts driving modern programming today, like multitier applications and object-oriented programming. More businesses are adopting .NET technologies, and this book will equip you to assess software robustness and performance.Whether you’re an experienced programmer who's unfamiliar with testing concepts, or you’re an experienced tester versed in VB .NET and C#, the included real-world tips and example code will help you start your projects. Also included are review questions and hands-on exercises to help you retain knowledge. Additionally, the book features examples and quick language tutorials for both C# and VB .NET.

Software testing is a skill. Experience, training, self-study, and a good intuition are what make a good software test engineer. Most test engineers I know are con- tinually striving to learn more about technology. A test engineer is expected to know at least a little about practically everything-from operating systems to networks to databases-in order to be able to find bugs and report them articu- lately. What I always say to new testers is that this is a great profession for those of us who love to learn continuously. It's like you've never left college-you must study constantly. (Of course, that also makes it a good place to be if you like to feel constantly inadequate! You can never know enough. ) So, this book is for that self-motivated test engineer who is intent on continually upgrading his or her knowledge and now wants to learn more about automated software testing. This book is also for you test leads and managers who want to know what Visual Basic can do for your test project. A not -so-well-kept secret of automated software testing is that the major tools available commercially don't do every- thing you need them to do, in spite of their advertisements. It's probably unrealistic to expect any tool to be able to fully support the automated testing required for so many diverse applications.

A detailed system that will help you achieve your professional and personal goals Moving the Needle provides both the "kick in the pants" and the game plan many of us need to break out of the rut and get moving to achieve our goals.
