Book excerpt: Asta Elecosoft Powerproject Real World Scheduling is called "real world" because the author wrote it drawing upon his 30+ years of experience consulting with contractors to help them meet their construction scheduling software needs. He knows how contractors use scheduling software, what's important to them - and what is not! This manual has been tested and retested in both the classroom and the company training room. It will guide you thru some of the quirks of Powerproject as well as teach you how use the software the way contractors use it. Other software manuals are often hundreds of pages long filled with dense text that wastes your time trying to cover every corner and nuance of the software - ultimately leaving readers more confused than before they started. Asta Elecosoft Powerproject Real World Scheduling assumes that the reader has no previous exposure to the software and takes the reader through the process of creating a schedule covering the same features that a contractor would include on their typical schedule. This includes creating and saving the schedule, covering numerous formatting options to customize the look of the schedule, working with calendars including 50% and 100% weather calendars, then sorting with activity coding work breakdown structures (WBS) of the schedule to organize the activities. Different views of the schedule are explored. From there the schedule is resource loaded and cost loaded, including a real world analysis of an over-allocation of resources. The schedule is then Baselined and updated covering all possible update scenarios that may actually occur. With this manual and a few hours of your time, you will be ready to effectively use Powerproject on a real project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real World Construction Project Scheduling is called "real world" because it was written drawing upon the author's 35+ years of experience consulting with contractors to help them meet their construction scheduling needs. He knows how contractors use scheduling, what's important to them - and what is not! This text can be combined with any one of the author's four Real World scheduling software books (covering either P6, MS Project, Phoenix, or Asta Elecosoft Powerproject softwares) for the lab portion of the course, available at www.johnwyattpublishing.com, to create a complete construction scheduling course. Combined together in a curriculum, students will gain a confident, real world knowledge of construction project scheduling. Using real world examples, this text takes the student through a typical project learning the planning and scheduling concepts necessary to successfully deliver a project on time. At the time of this writing, it is the only scheduling text that fully investigates the use of start-to-start and finish-to-finish activity relationship types when teaching students to hand-draw precedence network diagrams and to hand-calculate the critical path of the schedule including all starts and finishes, total float, and free float. If the completion of a construction project runs late, it is very often the result of poor planning in the pre-design and/or design phase of the project. This text fully explores the proper use of planning and scheduling throughout all phases of the project delivery - including pre-design and design through to occupancy and project closeout. Packaged with the text includes drawings for a sample project used throughout the text so the students can experience a "real world" application of the concepts covered in the text.

Book excerpt: Thomas Rid’s revelatory history of cybernetics pulls together disparate threads in the history of technology, from the invention of radar and pilotless flying bombs in World War Two to today’s age of CCTV, cryptocurrencies and Oculus Rift, to make plain that our current anxieties about privacy and security will be emphatically at the crux of the new digital future that we have been steadily, sometimes inadvertently, creating for ourselves. Rise of the Machines makes a singular and significant contribution to the advancement of our clearer understanding of that future – and of the past that has generated it.
