Romantic Moderns: English Writers, Artists and the Imagination from Virginia Woolf to John Piper, by Alexandra Harris ...

Far from repudiating tradition, English modernist artists were deeply influenced by landscape and history, as Alexandra Harris's magnificent study shows "You'll never guess what we are up to," Vanessa Bell wrote to a friend in 1941. "It starts by the curious fact that Duncan is in touch with a bishop." "Duncan" was Duncan Grant, like Bell a member of Bloomsbury and an exponent of high modernist ...

Philosophy of Language (Princeton Foundations of Contemporary Philosophy)

In this book one of the world's foremost philosophers of language presents his unifying vision of the field--its principal achievements, its most pressing current questions, and its most promising future directions. In addition to explaining the progress philosophers have made toward creating a theoretical framework for the study of language, Scott Soames investigates foundational concepts--such as truth, reference, and meaning--that are central to the philosophy of language and important to philosophy as a whole. The first part of the book describes how philosophers from Frege, Russell, Tarski, and Carnap to Kripke, Kaplan, and Montague developed precise techniques for understanding the languages of logic and mathematics, and how these techniques have been refined and extended to the study of natural human languages. The book then builds on this account, exploring new thinking about propositions, possibility, and the relationship between meaning, assertion, and other aspects of language use.

An invaluable overview of the philosophy of language by one of its most important practitioners, this book will be essential reading for all serious students of philosophy.

Mass Career Customization: Aligning the Workplace With Today's Nontraditional Workforce





Far-reaching changes in attitudes and family structures have been redefining the workforce for more than two decades - yet the workplace has remained much the same. During this time, many companies have learned that personalising the customer experience is good for business. In "Mass Career Customiz ation", the authors argue convincingly to extend this popular and profitable concept to the workplace. As the working population shrinks, maintaining industry advantage will depend largely on keeping employees engaged and connected. "Mass Career Customization" provides a framework for organisational adaptability that will do just that.

Question by Scofield B: What is the best certification to get as a web developer?

JAVASCRIPT certification or HTML certification or ASP certification? Pls which will be the best and WHY?




Best answer:

Answer by Cpugeni
This is a fairly vague question and really the best certification depends on your skill-set.

HTML Certification - If I were to go near this, I would opt for XHTML and CSS because these are the latest Web 2.0 markup languages that are used in industry today. However, a certification in this area would certify you as a designer rather than a developer.

JavaScript Certification - This is a client-side scripting language, JavaScript typically lives within the HTML/XHTML and can be very powerful in manipulating your web pages. A certification in JavaScript would be better than HTML, but obviously the prerequisit would be to know HTML.

ASP Certification - I would deffinately recommend a certification in Microsoft ASP.NET as this is deffinately a developer area. Prerequisits, you need to learn and understand either VB.NET and/or C#, and optionally, JavaScript will help.

WHY: Because it will enable you to build very robust and powerful websites. It is also a fairly new technology, and in demand, and you will be working on the cutting edge (if you so wish). Because of these factors, you will also earn a larger salary over the other certifications.

Microsoft offer certifications starting at "Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist", to become a certifi ed TS ASP.NET Developer you must take two exams, 70-536 (Application Development Foundation) and 70-562 (ASP.NET Application Development).

Question by Alice: How do you feel about writers bashing other writers\' work?

I\'ve read a few articles over the years of some very bold writers who have had the guts to actualy criticize a fellow writers writing style/work. Some of them were justified and others were obviously bitter. Do you believe that it\'s a wise thing to do, or should writers just let their own work speak for itself?




Best answer:

Answer by Just another nutcase!
Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion as far as I am concerned.

If I find an author down right awful, I\'m going to say it... it\'s only human to criticise others work. So why should a fellow author, who h as every right to critique in that department be any different?
