ArchiCAD. Wprowadzenie do projektowania BIM

Rafał Ślęk

Architekci potrzebują właściwych narzędzi, a narzędzia — odpowiedniej dokumentacji. Oto ona! ArchiCAD to najczęściej wykorzystywane narzędzie wspomagające projektowanie architektoniczne. Uwielbiają je architekci i architekci krajobrazu oraz projektanci wnętrz. Łatwa i intuicyjna obsługa, duże możliwości, szeroki wybór specjalizowanych narzędzi do opracowywania dokumentacji 2D i 3D oraz funkcje umożliwiające tworzenie atrakcyjnych wizualizacji sprawiły, że środowisko to, rozwijane przez węgierską firmę Graphisoft, zagościło w biurach projektowych na całym świecie, a także zjednało sobie rzesze fanów wśród studentów kierunków architektonicznych, budowlanych i artystycznych. Korzystanie z ArchiCAD-a nie nastręcza wielkich trudności, ale - podobnie jak w przypadku każdego programu komputerowego - nauka może odbywać się czasochłonną metodą prób i błędów lub postępować znacznie szybciej, gdy dysponuje się odpowiednim źródłem wiedzy, takim jak książka „ArchiCAD. Wprowadzenie do projektowania BIM ”. Wprowadzi ona użytkownika w zagadnienia związane z projektowaniem architektonicznym, nauczy unikać częstych błędów i pozwoli nabrać doświadczenia umożliwiającego samodzielną pracę w programie. Publikacja stanowi doskonałe uzupełnienie systemu pomocy aplikacji, jak również praktyczny przewodnik po świecie nowoczesnej technologii modelowania informacji o budynku - BIM. Konfiguracja sprzętu i instalacja programu ArchiCAD Graficzny interfejs użytkownika aplikacji i jego składniki Organizacja pracy w środowisku ArchiCAD i zasady bezpieczeństwa Podstawowe możliwości tworzenia i edycji modelu Korzystanie z narzędzi do modelowania elementów budynku Tworzenie dokumentacji 2D na podstawie modelu Projektowanie architektoniczne jeszcze nigdy nie było tak proste!

Archipelag znikających wysp

Sergiusz Prokurat, Piotr Śmieszek

Jawa, Bali, Sumatra i... 17 tysięcy innych wysp Czego poszukuje w Indonezji europejski podróżnik? Różnorodności? Nietrudno o nią w kraju, którego kultura stanowi mozaikę wpływów indyjskich, chińskich, muzułmańskich i europejskich. Ciekawych ludzi? Tych najłatwiej spotkać na Jawie - najbardziej zaludnionej, najlepiej zagospodarowanej wyspie Indonezji. Egzotyki? Spośród 17 tysięcy wysp zamieszkałych jest 6 tysięcy. Każda ma odrębną kulturę, inny język, inne zwyczaje, tradycję, historię. Ludzie żyją tutaj lokalnie, sprawami swojej wyspy, w sojuszu z przyrodą, w izolacji od całego świata, którym zbytnio się nie interesują. I nawet nie zdają sobie sprawy z tego, jak piękny jest ich kraj i ile fascynujących miejsc w sobie kryje. Indonezyjski archipelag można podziwiać bez końca. Od Jawy z więcej niż setką wulkanów, przez Bali z tysiącem świątyń, mroczny Lombok, Sulawesi, zwaną "wyspą Orchidei", dzikie Borneo, Komodo, która jest ojczyzną ostatnich smoków naszych czasów, aż po zamieszkiwaną niegdyś przez kanibali niebezpieczną Papuę Nową Gwineę... Kraj tysięcy wysp zadziwia, urzeka, a przede wszystkim jest nieprzewidywalny. Przyciąga jak magnes miłośników przygód szukających szczęścia w podróży oraz odskoczni od zachodniego stylu życia. Niemniej jednak powstaje pytanie, czy masowy napływ turystów - z ich technologią, procesami globalizacyjnymi i logiką - na te dziewicze tereny nie sprawi, że tradycyjne rytuały, obrzędy odprawiane na indonezyjskich wyspach znikną zupełnie?

Uwzględniając zarówno perspektywę socjohistoryczną, makrospołeczną, jak i podejście mikrosocjologiczne, przedstawiają specyfikę wielkomiejskiego ubóstwa, charakterystyczne dla niego zjawiska, mechanizmy i procesy oraz realia życia w zubożałych sąsiedztwach. Opisują funkcjonowanie instytucji realizujących zadania polityki społecznej w "enklawach biedy". Wskazują na aplikacyjne rezultaty badań w postaci programów kształcenia dla studentek i studentów pracy socjalnej i socjologii na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim oraz curriculów edukacyjnych przeznaczonych dla osób zatrudnionych w instytucjach i organizacjach pomocowych. W aneksach umieszczono przykłady narzędzi badawczych stosowanych w pracach zespołu. Książka może wzbudzić zainteresowanie nie tylko naukowczyń i naukowców zajmujących się kwestiami społecznymi czy osób zainteresowanych metodologią nauk społecznych, lecz także kadr odpowiedzialnych za kształtowanie polityki społecznej oraz praktyków i praktyczek szeroko rozumianej profesjonalnej pomocy.

Architecting and Building High-Speed SoCs. Design, develop, and debug complex FPGA based systems-on-chip

Mounir Maaref

Modern and complex SoCs can adapt to many demanding system requirements by combining the processing power of ARM processors and the feature-rich Xilinx FPGAs. You’ll need to understand many protocols, use a variety of internal and external interfaces, pinpoint the bottlenecks, and define the architecture of an SoC in an FPGA to produce a superior solution in a timely and cost-efficient manner.This book adopts a practical approach to helping you master both the hardware and software design flows, understand key interconnects and interfaces, analyze the system performance and enhance it using the acceleration techniques, and finally build an RTOS-based software application for an advanced SoC design. You’ll start with an introduction to the FPGA SoCs technology fundamentals and their associated development design tools. Gradually, the book will guide you through building the SoC hardware and software, starting from the architecture definition to testing on a demo board or a virtual platform. The level of complexity evolves as the book progresses and covers advanced applications such as communications, security, and coherent hardware acceleration.By the end of this book, you'll have learned the concepts underlying FPGA SoCs’ advanced features and you’ll have constructed a high-speed SoC targeting a high-end FPGA from the ground up.

Architecting Angular Applications with Redux, RxJS, and NgRx. Learn to build Redux style high-performing applications with Angular 6

Christoffer Noring

Managing the state of large-scale web applications is a highly challenging task with the need to align different components, backends, and web workers harmoniously. When it comes to Angular, you can use NgRx, which combines the simplicity of Redux with the reactive programming power of RxJS to build your application architecture, making your code elegant and easy to reason about, debug, and test.In this book, we start by looking at the different ways of architecting Angular applications and some of the patterns that are involved in it. This will be followed by a discussion on one-way data flow, the Flux pattern, and the origin of Redux.The book introduces you to declarative programming or, more precisely, functional programming and talks about its advantages. We then move on to the reactive programming paradigm. Reactive programming is a concept heavily used in Angular and is at the core of NgRx. Later, we look at RxJS, as a library and master it. We thoroughly describe how Redux works and how to implement it from scratch. The two last chapters of the book cover everything NgRx has to offer in terms of core functionality and supporting libraries, including how to build a micro implementation of NgRx.This book will empower you to not only use Redux and NgRx to the fullest, but also feel confident in building your own version, should you need it.
