Jean M. Twenge
Urodzeni po 1995 roku. Dorastali z telefonem komórkowym, mieli konto na Instagramie, zanim poszli do liceum, nie pamiętają czasów sprzed internetu. Różnią się od każdego poprzedniego pokolenia. Mowa tu o jednej czwartej Amerykanów. To iGen (skrót od iGeneracji) pokolenie internetu. Właśnie nadeszło. W tej fascynującej, pełnej życia książce dr Jean Twenge maluje odkrywczy portret nowego pokolenia, które dojrzewa wolniej i wyrasta na bardziej znerwicowane ale również bardziej tolerancyjne i bezpieczne od poprzednich pokoleń. Jego przedstawiciele trzymają się z dala od pokus dla dorosłych, takich jak alkohol czy seks, ale też unikają odpowiedzialności wiążącej się z dorosłością nie śpieszy im się z nauką jazdy, wyprowadzką z domu ani z osiągnięciem finansowej samodzielności. Są otwarci i postępowi, a przy tym rozważni jak żadne wcześniejsze pokolenie młodych ludzi. Cechy i trendy charakteryzujące to pokolenie mogą wydawać się zdumiewające lub nawet sprzeczne z intuicją, ale jeśli chcemy z powodzeniem nawiązywać z nim kontakty czy to jako rodzice, pedagodzy, w pracy, czy też w relacjach handlowych musimy zrozumieć, kim są jego przedstawiciele i dlaczego zachowują się w taki a nie inny sposób. Obecne podziały pokoleniowe są głębsze i szersze niż kiedykolwiek w historii. Właśnie dlatego rodzice, pedagodzy i pracodawcy pilnie potrzebują zrozumieć dzisiejsze pokolenie nastolatków i młodych dorosłych, dopiero co wchodzące na rynek pracy. Media społecznościowe i esemesowanie wypierają inne formy rekreacji i komunikowania się iGen spędza mniej czasu z przyjaciółmi i rodziną, co może wyjaśniać niespotykany dotąd u młodych ludzi poziom lęku, depresji i samotności. Ale technologia to nie jedyna rzecz wyróżniająca tę generację. Korzystając ze swoich obszernych badań, odkrywczych wywiadów i głębokiej analizy danych zgromadzonych od ponad 11 milionów respondentów na przestrzeni kilku dekad, Twenge pokazuje, że wyjątkowość osób z tego pokolenia przejawia się również w sposobie spędzania czasu, zachowaniu, a wreszcie w zaskakującym stosunku do religii, seksualności i polityki. Całkowita dominacja smartfonów odbija się na każdej sferze życia nastolatków z iGen, od interakcji społecznych po zdrowie psychiczne. To pierwsze pokolenie, które miało nieograniczony dostęp do internetu przez cały czas. Nawet jeśli ich smartfona wyprodukował Samsung, a ich tablet to Kindle, ci młodzi ludzie nadal zaliczają się do iGen. (Również w wypadku grupy o niższych dochodach: nastolatki z uboższych środowisk spędzają w sieci tyle samo czasu, co nastolatki ze środowisk zamożnych oto kolejny efekt smartfonów). Podczas gdy ta nowa grupa młodych ludzi wkracza w dorosłość, wszyscy musimy spróbować ich zrozumieć. Ponieważ kierunek, w jakim pójdą, wyznacza kierunek naszego kraju i całego świata. Dr Jean M. Twenge Profesor psychologii na Uniwersytecie Stanowym w San Diego, jest autorką ponad 120 publikacji naukowych i dwóch książek, które napisała w oparciu o własne badania Generation Me oraz The Narcissism Epidemic, a także poradnika The Impatient Womans Guide to Getting Pregnant. Artykuły na temat jej badań pojawiały się w takich gazetach, jak Time, The Atlantic, Newsweek, The New York Times, USA TODAY i The Washington Post. Występowała również w programach telewizyjnych Today, Good Morning America, Fox and Friends oraz w radiostacji NPR. Mieszka w San Diego wraz z mężem i trzema córkami przedstawicielkami iGenu. Wszyscy pragniemy się dowiedzieć, jaki wpływ ma na nastolatków intensywne korzystanie z mediów społecznościowych. Dzięki wnikliwej analizie Jean Twenge teraz już to wiemy: sprawia, że są samotni, niespokojni i delikatni szczególnie dziewczyny. Musisz przeczytać tę fascynującą książkę, żeby zrozumieć, jak bardzo iGen różni się od milenialsów, których dopiero co zaczynałeś rozgryzać.... - Jonathan Haidt, NYU-Stern School of Business, autor Prawego umysłu Jeśli chcesz zrozumieć, jak wychowywać, uczyć, rekrutować, zatrudniać osoby urodzone w latach 1995-2012, a także jak im coś sprzedać albo jak walczyć o ich głosy, koniecznie przeczytaj tę książkę. iGen zmieni twój sposób myślenia o następnym pokoleniu młodych ludzi. - Julianna Miner, prof. ds. zdrowia publicznego, George Mason University Pełna wartościowych spostrzeżeń nieoceniona z punktu widzenia rodziców, pedagogów i liderów. Odkrycia Jean Twenge przykuwają uwagę, jej pomysły są fascynujące, a rozwiązania bezcenne. - Michele Borba, dr pedagogiki, psycholog edukacyjna i autorka książek

Observability can be implemented in multiple ways within an organization based on the organization’s needs. So, it’s crucial for organizations to decide whether they need observability and to what extent, what skills and tools will suit them, and how long will it take to implement it. Implementing Enterprise Observability for Success provides a step-by-step approach to help you create an observability strategy, understand the principles behind the creation of the strategy, and logical steps to plan and execute the implementation.You’ll learn about observability fundamentals and challenges, the importance of data and analytics along with different tools. Further, you’ll discover the various layers from which data should be collected for setting up observability.Through real- life examples distilled from the author's experience in implementing observability at an enterprise level, you’ll uncover some of the non-technical & technical drivers of observability like the culture of the organization, the hierarchy of stakeholders, tools at disposal and the willingness to invest.By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped to plan the observability journey, identify different stakeholders, spot the technology stack required, and lay out an effective plan for organization-wide adoption.

This book will guide you through various hands-on practical examples for implementing event-driven microservices architecture using C# 11 and .NET 7. It has been divided into three distinct sections, each focusing on different aspects of this implementation.The first section will cover the new features of .NET 7 that will make developing applications using EDA patterns easier, the sample application that will be used throughout the book, and how the core tenets of domain-driven design (DDD) are implemented in .NET 7.The second section will review the various components of a local environment setup, the containerization of code, testing, deployment, and the observability of microservices using an EDA approach.The third section will guide you through the need for scalability and service resilience within the application, along with implementation details related to elastic and autoscale components. You’ll also cover how proper telemetry helps to automatically drive scaling events. In addition, the topic of observability is revisited using examples of service discovery and microservice inventories.By the end of this book, you’ll be able to identify and catalog domains, events, and bounded contexts to be used for the design and development of a resilient microservices architecture.
