Commodore - The Inside Story (dt. Fassung)
Jetzt endlich in deutscher Übersetzung erhältlich: 30 unerzählte Geschichten über einen Computergiganten.Commodore - The Inside Story entführt die Leser auf eine Reise durch die aufregende Welt von Commodore, dem legendären Technologieunternehmen, das die Computerrevolution maßgeblich geprägt hat – von den bescheidenen Anfängen über den Aufstieg zur unangefochtenen Ikone der Heimcomputer-Ära bis hin zum finalen Crash des Unternehmens durch fatales Missmanagement.Dieses fesselnde Buch bietet nicht nur eine umfassende Darstellung der Entstehung von Commodore mit seinen revolutionären Computermodellen C64, PET und Amiga sowie den vielen gescheiterten Entwicklungen, sondern enthüllt auch die faszinierenden Geschichten der Visionäre, Ingenieure und Entwickler, die das Unternehmen zu dem gemacht haben, was es war.17 der packenden Kapitel stammen direkt von David John Pleasance, dem einstigen Geschäftsführer von Commodore UK. Seine präzisen Schilderungen und viele persönliche Fotos geben exklusive Details und eine intime Perspektive auf die Ereignisse preis.Ehemalige Commodore-Legenden wie RJ Mical, Dave Haynie, Gail Wellington oder Peter Kittel erzählen in 13 weiteren, umfassenden Kapiteln sehr persönlich über ihre bewegte Zeit bei dem amerikanischen Heimcomputergiganten der 80er Jahre. Diese außergewöhnlichen Geschichten gewähren einen tiefen Einblick in die Kultur, die Innovationen und die Leidenschaft, die Commodore geprägt haben.Commodore - The Inside Story ist die ultimative Hommage an eine Ära, die die Computerwelt für immer verändert hat. Mit seinen tiefgehenden Einblicken, fesselnden Anekdoten und den persönlichen Beiträgen von Industrielegenden begeistert David John Pleasance seine Leser und versetzt sie zurück in die goldenen Zeiten der Heimcomputer.Aus dem Inhalt:Teil 1: The Inside StoryAm Anfang …Commodore UK − Die ersten fünf MonateCommodore CorbyZwischenspiel 1: Spirit of the StonesMaidenhead, Teil 1: Wir verkaufen keine Computer, sondern TräumeMaidenhead, Teil 2: Das Händlerbonus−ProgrammCommodore Electronics Limited: Basel, SchweizZwischenspiel 2: Commodore NiederlandeCommodore Inc.: West Chester, Pennsylvania, USAEine Komödie der Fehler: Unser illustrer Anführer, Mehdi AliZwischenspiel 3: Irving GouldDie Markteinführung des CD32Die SCI Amiga 1200 HerstellungssageZwischenspiel 4: Der PC Week GerichtsprozessManagement BuyoutZwischenspiel 5: Chelsea FC Trikot−SponsoringNach CommodoreTeil 2: Erinnerungen an CommodoreRJ Mical: Eine weitere unerzählte Amiga−GeschichteDave Haynie: RUNTim Chaney: Commodore UK − Die frühen TageGail Wellington: Erinnerungen an die softe SeitePeter Kittel: Meine Zeit bei Commodore DeutschlandBeth Richard: Entwickle viel, veröffentliche wenigMiguel De Gracia: Erinnerungen eines jungen RekrutenJoe Benzing: Erinnerungen an CommodoreFrançois Lionet: Wie Amiga mein Leben verändert hatWim Meulders: Tod durch Management, Kunden und UserKieron Sumner: Der Nutzen ist allesStephen Jones: Ein Liebesbrief an AROSCarlo Pastore: Die Geschichte des CommodoreSchon im englischen Original recht wild getextet und mittelmäßig übersetzt, ist ”The Inside Story” höchst subjektiv, aber durchgehend informativ und spannend. Dass es im farbig bebilderten Hardcover mehr um persönliche Highlights und Events als um sachliche Geschichtschronik geht, werten wir eher als Stärke, denn Schwäche: Hier schreiben nicht Journalisten, sondern damalige Manager und Macher – mal selbstkritisch, mal euphorisch.- Winnie Forster auf MANIAC.deÜber den Autor:Mit einer Karriere von mehr als 45 Jahren in der Computerbranche ist der Erfolg von David John Pleasance legendär – es wird geschätzt, dass er für den Verkauf von etwa 2,25 Millionen Computern direkt verantwortlich war.Während seines einflussreichen Wirkens bei Commodore, das die Niederlassungen in Großbritannien, der Schweiz (verantwortlich für 35 Länder) und den USA umfasste, hat David langfristiger Partnerschaften mit weltweit führenden Publishern von Spielen und Produktivitätssoftware gebildet, immer mindestens einen Schritt vor der Konkurrenz. Er hat Maßstäbe im Marketing gesetzt und ist speziell für seine bahnbrechende Idee, kombinierte Computer- und Softwarepakete auf den Markt zu bringen, bekannt geworden.Kein anderer ist besser qualifiziert, diese fesselnde, unglaubliche (aber wahre) Geschichte über das Missmanagement eines globalen Computergigangen zu erzählen.

Digital Transformation and Public Policies
The extent of digitalization and the use of digital tools no longer need to be demonstrated. While companies have been integrating the challenges of such a transformation for more than 20 years, the public sector is lagging behind.Digital Transformation and Public Policies studies the mechanisms of the digital transformation of public organizations. It explores how this new deal, driven mainly by platforms, resonates with new public policies and how digital technology is redrawing the relationship between the governors and the governed.This book, the result of transdisciplinary collaboration between researchers, aims to answer these questions by focusing on several cases: public innovation policies, health data and social policies with fiscal microsimulation devices. Valérie Revest is Professor of Economics at the Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3, iaelyon School of Management – Magellan, France.

Cybercrime During the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has had an undeniable impact on cybercrime. The initial crisis quickly became a global catastrophe with multiple consequences in economics, health, and political and social fields. This book explores how this global emergency has influenced cybercrime. Indeed, since feeding off new vulnerabilities, thanks to the effects of the pandemic crisis in various states around the world, cybercrime has increased and evolved.In 2020, the world was already dealing with numerous tensions and the effects of the global crisis have therefore only tended to exacerbate the issues that relate to cybercrime. For example, radicalization and identity theft has found an environment in which they thrive: the Internet. Criminals have been able to adapt their modus operandi, their targets and their attack vectors. However, on the plus side, the response of law enforcement and public authorities, in terms of the legal, policing and policy side of cybercrime, has also been adapted in order to better combat the increase in this phenomenon. Daniel Ventre has a PhD in Political Science and conducts his research at the CESDIP laboratory, CNRS, Université Paris Saclay, France. His work focuses on cybersecurity and cyberdefense policies.Hugo Loiseau has a PhD in Political Science and is a professor at l’École de politique appliquée at the Université de Sherbrooke, Canada. His research focuses on the political and international issues involving cybersecurity.

KI und die Disruption der Arbeit
Mittlerweile ist allen klar geworden: Künstliche Intelligenz wird die Arbeitswelt in Zukunft grundlegend verändern. Schon jetzt zeichnet sich ab, wozu diese Technologie in der Lage ist, aber das ist wohl nichts im Vergleich zu dem, was uns erwartet. Müssen wir Angst vor diesen Veränderungen haben oder dürfen wir sie begrüßen? Sind wir wirklich hilflos einer unaufhaltsamen Macht ausgeliefert? Nein, schließlich sind wir alle, die Expert:innen wie Konsument:innen, auch diejenigen, die diese Entwicklung entfesselt haben und deshalb für ihre Gestaltung mit verantwortlich sind. Dennoch gibt es eine große Unsicherheit und das allgegenwärtige Gefühl des Kontrollverlusts.Dieses Buch wird Ihnen helfen das zu bewerten, was Sie hören, sehen und befürchten. Was viel zu selten geschieht, leistet dieses Buch: Die Betrachtung der anstehenden Veränderungen wird auf eine solide Basis gestellt, die sich schon oft bewährt hat: Wenn wir uns ansehen, woher wir kommen, verstehen wir besser, wohin wir gehen, besser noch, wohin wir wollen sollten. Wenn man verantwortlich mitgestalten will, darf man nicht wie das Kaninchen vor der Schlange verharren, so faszinierend oder erschreckend das alles sein mag.Der Autor überträgt dieses Prinzip auf die Arbeitswelt. Er betrachtet mit Hilfe von Szenarien die Felder, auf denen die größten Umwälzungen zu erwarten sind, und zeigt, dass auch in der Vergangenheit schon oft große Brüche stattgefunden haben. Daraus kann man Schlüsse ziehen und lernen, was die heutigen Entwicklungen bedeuten, welche technischen, ökonomischen und sozialen Triebkräfte diese Innovationen in der Künstlichen Intelligenz und der Robotik vorantreiben. Das erlaubt dem Autor eine mögliche Arbeitswelt der Zukunft zu entwerfen, die eine Welt der gestaltenden und überwiegend überwachenden Tätigkeiten sein könnte. Dies ist nicht als Prognose zu verstehen, sondern als Ergebnis einer technikwissenschaftlich und philosophisch ausgelegten Analyse dessen, was wir mit unseren neuen technischen und organisatorischen Möglichkeiten wollen könnten. Und hier gibt es immer mehrere Alternativen.Um herauszufinden, was wir wollen, lohnt ein Blick auf die Bedeutung der bisherigen Arbeit als Teil unserer Biographie, als Sinn- und Identitätsstiftung, als soziale Teilhabe und nicht zuletzt als Quelle von Eigentum und Wohlstand. Und auch hier gibt es abhängig von Kulturen, geschichtlichen Prozessen und Wirtschaftstheorien völlig unterschiedliche Auffassungen, die Ihnen der Autor so vor Augen führt, dass sie selbst urteilen können.Wenn Sie das Buch gelesen haben, wird Ihnen manches an der derzeitigen Diskussion über die Auswirkungen von KI auf die Arbeitswelt übertrieben vorkommen. Sie werden jedoch besser verstehen, wo die Grenzen der KI liegen, wo unsere eigenen Grenzen liegen, die wir mit KI zu überwinden hoffen und nicht zuletzt, wo wir aus Verantwortung für künftige Generationen Grenzen setzen müssen.Autor:Klaus Kornwachs (geb.1947) studierte Physik, Mathematik und Philosophie. 1979-1992 Fraunhofer-Institut für Arbeitswirtschaft und Organisation, Stuttgart, zuletzt als Leiter der Abteilung für Qualifikationsforschung und Technikfolgenabschätzung, 1991 Forschungspreis der Alcatel SEL-Stiftung für Technische Kommunikation. 1992-2011 Lehrstuhl für Technikphilosophie an der BTU Cottbus.

A Guide to UX Design and Development
Gain a thorough understanding of the two pillars of any User Experience project: the mission and the process. The mission is to keep the user in mind at each step or milestone as the developer progresses through the project. The process is how that mission is accomplished through collaboration and the use of research, design and development technologies. This book walks you through a developer's journey through the UX process, from start to finish.A Guide to UX Design and Development concentrates on the intersection of what is called “DesignOps” and “DevOps.” That intersection is where collaboration between all members of the team, including stakeholders and clients, occurs and neither DesignOps nor DevOps can go beyond being considered just buzzwords if they instead silo design and development. To highlight the UX Mission and illustrate the responsibility developers also hold for the user experience, authors Tom Green and Joseph Labrecque take you through a hypothetical project involving the development of a parking app for a municipal parking authority. As the book progresses, they concentrate on the developer's journey through the whole project from discovery to product release. In this journey, you will see how developers can make an impact and contribute to the user experience.This will include such topics as why there is a need for both a user journey map and a technical journey map. The authors explain why prototyping is not as complicated as it is made out to be because it is simply an early low-cost and disposable minimal viable product that gives the developer a deep understanding of the project's intent in support of the UX Mission. You will also explore the creation and use of design systems and why the developer's role is just as important as the people who create the design system. The role and responsibility of the developer in user testing is discussed in the context of a variety of testing and assessment methods conducted to achieve the UX mission.Finally, you’ll gain an understanding of how design and development deliverables are negotiated, prepared and sent out for research at each step of the process, and how the developer is involved.WHAT YOU WILL LEARN* Understand the evolving role of the developer in a team-based environment* Learn the five stages of the UX process * Discover the importance of collaboration and communication with stakeholders, designers, and developers at every stage of the process* Learn a variety of design and development documents created during the UX processWHO THIS BOOK IS FORDevelopers and designers involved in the UX Process, as well as developers trying to make sense of the confusing amount of information out there regarding their role in the UX process.TOM GREEN is a retired Professor of Interactive Multimedia through the School of Media Studies and IT at the Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Education in Toronto, Canada.
