Bøger af Steve Prettyman

My grandfather, Reverend Edgar Cannon Prettyman, first self-published 'THE PRETTYMAN FAMILY - In England And America - 1361-1968' over forty-five years ago. This book has since become the main reference book for Prettyman and related family historians. However, a very limited amount of copies were created and distributed. Now with the help of Amazon self-printing and e-book distribution, everyone can receive a quality copy of this family classic. My grandfather spent 35 years of his life visiting churches, libraries, museums, and state archives in order to gather as much history as he could find on the family. He also greatly depended on other historians in the family to fill in the missing pieces. While he, with his own words, admits that there is missing information and maybe even incorrect information within its pages, this collection was the first of its kind. Even today, there is not one source of information on the family. Many of today's family historians have gathered additional information on their branch of the family and posted this information on various websites and blogs. However, there is no one book or one website that puts all the information together. This book will become the cornerstone of the website "prettymanfamily.org", which in 2015 will allow all family members to update the history of the Prettymans in one place, interactively. There have been many famous members of the Prettyman family since its beginnings. The first known recording of the family was in the charter of Bacton Manor in 1361 in Suffork County, England. The manor was previously owned by King Henry VIII, Anne of Cleves, and Queen Elizabeth. In 1361 the charter declared that John Pratyman owned property there. John's grandfather was knighted by King James I in 1603. John's wife, Margaret, was King James V of Scotland's great great granddaughter. It is believed that the family replaced the 'a' in Pratyman with an 'e' to honor Queen Elizabeth. This practice was common. Sometime before the Prettyman family arrived in America, the second 't' was added to the name, forming the name 'Prettyman'. The additional 't' may have been an indication of relations to the Driffield family and is a direct relationship to Sir John Prettyman, knight. Queen Victory and President Lincoln appointed Dr. John Shepard Prettyman as consul to Glasgow, Scotland. The family is first known to exist in American just fourteen years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. John Prettyman was a plantation owner in the Lord Baltimore Colony. According to my grandfather's discoveries, there seems to be no record on exactly when he arrived in America, although he, or his relatives may have come to America on one of two ships lead by Caption Thomas Yong "to make discoveries and explore inhabited land." Many members of the Prettyman family were founders of the modern Methodist religion including Reverend William Prettyman. Multiple members had associations with presidents in the White House; Thomas Gray Prettyman built George Washington's coffin; Dr. John Sheppard Prettyman was one of the first advocates for supporting Abraham Lincoln's run for the presidency; Arthur Prettyman was a loyal valet to President Roosevelt for many years until the president's death. Elijah Barrett Prettyman was Chief Justice for the U.S. Appeals Court in Washington, D.C. The courthouse was named in his honor.

Write solid, secure, object-oriented code in the new PHP 8. In this book you will create a complete three-tier application using a natural process of building and testing modules within each tier. This practical approach teaches you about app development and introduces PHP features when they are actually needed rather than providing you with abstract theory and contrived examples.In Learn PHP 8, programming examples take advantage of the newest PHP features; you'll follow a learn-by-doing approach, which provides you with complete coding examples. "e;Do It"e; exercises in each chapter provide the opportunity to make adjustments to the example code. The end-of-chapter programming exercises allow you to develop your own applications using the algorithms demonstrated in the chapter. Each tier is logically and physically separated using object-oriented and dependency injection techniques, thus allowing independent tiers that can be updated with little or no effect on the other tiers. In addition to teaching good programming practices through OOP, there is a strong emphasis on creating secure code.As each chapter is completed, you'll have the opportunity to design and create an application reinforcing the concepts learned. What You Will Learn Program PHP 8 web applications Use interfaces, containers, and platforms Apply modular programming Manage data objects and use MySQL and other databases Work with multi-functional and secure user interfaces Handle logging exceptions and more Who This Book Is For Those new to web development, specifically PHP programming. Also, this book can be useful to those who have some PHP/web development experience who are new to PHP 8.

Gain an in-depth understanding of PHP 7 arrays. After a quick overview of PHP 7, each chapter concentrates on single, multi-dimensional, associative, and object arrays. PHP Arrays is a first of its kind book using PHP 7 that demonstrates inserting, appending, updating, and deleting array data. This book also covers validation methods to insure that the data provided by a user is good before the data is entered into an array. You'll see how PHP 7 try/catch modules are used to capture exceptions and errors that may be caused by invalid data.The code examples demonstrate common real-world scenarios. Moreover, examples of every PHP 7 array function (over 75) are demonstrated. The appendix provides a two-dimensional array case study on the logical design of a checkers game. PHP Arrays answers the following questions:Why do we need arrays? When do we need to use arrays? Are arrays efficient? Can arrays reduce coding time? When do you use multi-dimensional and associative arrays? What is an object array? What You'll LearnHandle array data from an HTML form Manage array data from a text file Deal with array data from a MySQL databaseWho This Book Is ForExperienced PHP programmers or web developers using PHP.
