My last books from PMBA

I have read four books from PMBA recently.

The power of less from Leo Babauta and The power of full engagement from Jim loehr and Tony Schwartz, two books about Productivity & Effectiveness.
The first one presents how to :

break any goal down into manageable tasks
focus only on a few task at a time
create new and productive habits
increase our efficiency.

The second presents that energy, not time, is our most precious resource, how to mobilize our four source of energy (physical, emmotional, mental and spiritual) and the necessity to balance stress with recovery.

I have also read the Path of Least Resistance by Robert Fritz but i am actually not convinced and it is very complicated to explain it shortly. However you can find an excellent presentation here and here.

Finally I have read Brain rules.

This one is really a fantastic book. John Medina, a developmental molecular biologist, presents how brain works in twelve chapters. Each chapter presents one important fact about brain.
I can explain it a lot but the best option is to go to the very good website : http://www.brainrules.net/

Summary of 'Words are windows, Introduction to nonviolent communication' by Marshall Rosenberg

Summary of 'Words are windows, Introduction to nonviolent communication' by Marshall Rosenberg “Words are windows” is an introduction to non violent communication (abbreviated as NVC). Marshall Rosenberg presents in this book the process that allows us to communicate more serenely with others as well as with ourselves. This mode of communication allows us to become more and more caring, authentic, and empathic with others. It can therefore be used in all interactions of everyday life: as a couple, with our children, at work … NVC is proving to be a very effective way to manage conflicts, and also to better identify our own needs. At the source of Non Violent Communication NVC has 4 four key components: Observation – specific facts/data, no evaluation/judgment Feeling – state how we feel (many failure modes here) Need – the need underlying this feeling Request – must be specific action to address need First we observe what is really happening in a given situatio...

Summary of 'Clean Architecture' by Robert C. Martin

Summary of 'Clean Architecture' by Robert C. Martin Uncle Bob, the well known author of Clean Code, is coming back to us with a new book called Clean Architecture which wants to take a larger view on how to create software. Even if Clean Code is one of the major book around OOP and code design (mainly by presenting the SOLID principles), I was not totally impressed by the book. Clean Architecture leaves me with the same feeling, even if it’s pushing the development world to do better, has some good stories and present robust principles to build software. The book is build around 34 chapters organised in chapters. Programming paradigm After some introduction, there is an overview of three paradigm of programming: structured programming which imposes discipline on direct transfer of control object oriented programming which imposes discipline on indirect transfer of control functional programming which imposes discipline upon assignment Uncle Bob tells us...

Hébergement d'un blog !

Bon il y a maintenant plusieurs semaines, j'ai lancé un blog sur l'expérience utilisateur (ux-fr.com) : hébergement sur le serveur gandi d'un ami, wordpress 2.8, un thème courant mais correct et les plug ins indispensables. Bon déjà le site était affreusement lent et enfin tout est tombé depuis une semaine impossible de relancer le wordpress. 80% de chance que ca vienne du site en lui même mais qui à tout refaire (j'ai quand même les articles normalement c'est déjà une chance énorme), j'aimerais faire cette fois un choix efficace, robuste et rapide. Le prix n'est pas vraiment le problème (enfin jusqu'a 100 euros par an, j'ai pas encore 10 000 visiteurs par jour). Par contre, je veux quelque chose qui ne demande de perdre du temps sur la partie technique. Niveau site, je pense que le mieux est de rester sur du Wordpress donc je cherche un bon hebergeur pour du php/mysql ce qu'il y a de plus classique. Je suis ouvert à des propositions innovantes p...
