Basics Interactive Design: User Experience Design
By putting people at the centre of interactive design, user experience (UX) techniques are now right at the heart of digital media design and development. As a designer, you need to create work that will impact positively on everyone who is exposed to it. Whether it's passive and immutable or interactive and dynamic, the success of your design will depend largely on how well the user experience is constructed.User Experience Design shows how researching and understanding users' expectations and motivations can help you develop effective, targeted designs. The authors explore the use of scenarios, personas and prototyping in idea development, and will help you get the most out of the latest tools and techniques to produce interactive designs that users will love.With practical projects to get you started, and stunning examples from some of today's most innovative studios, this is an essential introduction to modern UXD.

Praxishandbuch VMware vSphere 7 (5. Auflg.)
Leitfaden für Installation, Konfiguration und Optimierung.Sie brauchen praxisrelevante Informationen zur technischen Realisierung einer virtualisierten Infrastruktur mittels vSphere 7? Dann halten Sie mit dem »Praxishandbuch VMware vSphere 7.0« genau das richtige Buch in Ihren Händen. In diesem Handbuch finden Sie komprimiert alles, was Sie über Virtualisierung im Allgemeinen und vSphere 7 im Speziellen wissen müssen – samt unzähligen Tipps und Tricks aus der Praxis, Warnungen und Hinweisen zu angrenzenden Technologien.Schritt für Schritt zur optimalen virtualisierten UmgebungDas Buch gibt Ihnen schnell eine Übersicht über die einzelnen vSphere-Komponenten, deren Konfiguration und Optimierung. Sobald der Hypervisor (ESXi) installiert ist, können die ersten virtuellen Maschinen von Grund auf richtig eingerichtet und optimiert werden.Dann erfahren Sie, wie Sie Ihr Netzwerk am besten konfigurieren müssen und die ESXi Server an gemeinsamen Speicher anbinden. Was die Funktion Hostprofile, der VMware Lifecycle Manager oder der VMware Converter für Sie tun können, fehlt genauso wenig wie der Einsatz von vApps und Templates. Und auch wenn die vSphere-Umgebung steht, bleibt immer etwas zu tun: Backups und Sicherheitsstrategien (am Beispiel von Veeam Backup & Replication), die geschickte Verwaltung der Ressourcen und eine kontinuierliche Optimierung des laufenden Betriebs lassen sich mit den richtigen Werkzeugen und Konzepten besser in die Tat umsetzen. Auch die Kommandozeile und PowerCLI kommen nicht zu kurz.Aktualisierte fünfte AuflageDie fünfte Auflage wurde komplett auf VMware vSphere 7 aktualisiert. Zusätzlich aufgenommen wurden die Neuerungen von vSphere 7, z.B. vSAN, virtuelle Volumes, der HTML5-Client und die neue vSphere Appliance auf Photon Linux Basis. Weiterhin beinhaltet die fünfte Auflage die Themen Upgrade von einer Vorversion, NFS Storage unter Linux erstellen, Alarme, Hostprofile (erweitert), Troubleshooting (erweitert) und eine bestmögliche Netzwerkkonfiguration.
