Description

The Life Of A Software DeveloperBefore there was Windows or Mac OS, or even DOS and the iOS, there was the Pack and the TAP. And in the 1960s, nobody has heard of Microsoft or Apple. Even IBM has yet to release the first mass produced PCs that would make history. In their stead were GE systems and Honeywell Information Company and such esoteric computer technologies as punch card file systems. Welcome to software development in the pre PC era. Amidst all these nascent computer era,

Before there was Windows or Mac OS, or even DOS and the iOS, there was the Pack and the TAP. And in the 1960s, nobody has heard of Microsoft or Apple. Even IBM has yet to release the first mass produced PCs that would make history. In their stead were GE systems and Honeywell Information Company and such esoteric computer technologies as punch card file systems. Welcome to software development in the pre-PC era.

Amidst all these nascent computer era, Anthony Herda, military service veteran and now official software programmer for the aforementioned GE and Honeywell information systems, throws in tales of his adventures in the golf course as a caddie for good measure. Who among the current crop of high-paying, high profile software developers could afford such a varied life?

Not only that, in The Life of a Software Designer, Anthony also manages to include a long running mystery in the affairs of his family.

About the Author

A native of New Jersey, USA, Anthony Herda is one of the pioneers in the field of software programming, fascinated early on by the emerging field right after his stint in the military. He secured an undergraduate computer science degree at the Merrimack College in Massachusetts, along with an MBA at the Riviera College in Nashua, New Hampshire.

A must buy for the littles this winter.
Format: Kindle
Frostfire is a must buy for the littles this winter. I read through it once myself and absolutely loved the story and especially the illustrations. A very classic, winter whimsy. The second time I read Frostfire was with my 3 and 5 year olds. They also enjoyed it and had quite the debate over whether the snow dragon would be real. The 3 year old won! Looking forward to this book's release and coming across some frostfire in the real world this winter. Thanks to Penguin Random House Canada, Tundra Books and NetGalley for the eARC!

atmospheric illustrations and a story about sharing imagination
Format: Hardcover
I received this book as part of the LibraryThing EarlyReviewer program. The illustrations are photographs of collage, with some digital editing to add snow effects. It's a bit of an atmospheric "kids go for a walk in the snow" book, a la The Snowy Day, but for older kids. I liked how there was a subtle background story about children trying to navigate having slightly conflicting imaginative stories. It can be a challenge for a kid to learn how to do this when playing with others. The illustrations of the dragon especially were a wonderful surprise. My 8 year old loved the book and is happy that we get to keep it.

A Glittery Fantasy
Format: Hardcover
The author's sparkling illustrations highlight this magical tale of two fox sisters and their grand adventure in a snowy wonderland. What begins as a mild prank played by the older sister on the younger turns out to be a spectacular reality . . . or does it? This is a lovely salute to the imagination and the joys of childhood. Many thanks to the publisher for sharing.

Stunning Illustrations, wonderful story

I was immediately drawn to this book by the bewitching title and exquisite artwork. We follow two sisters, Celeste and Miriam, on their garden adventure in the magical snow. This story was the perfect length, with enchanting drawings and an adorable plot with charming sisters. Such a joy to read I will definitely be looking forward to reading this book with my daughter. I could see it being a winter favorite.

If you have sensitive skin and dont want premium prices, Cremo’s body wash is an excellent option A+
Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Cremo’s body wash for men has become a staple in our household. The product exudes a luxurious feel, from the rich lather to the clean, long-lasting scent that genuinely resembles a more expensive fragrance. This body wash possesses a pleasant aroma of cardamom, papyrus, and most notably, palo santo. It features a warm, woody, and spicy scent, which is one of my preferred fragrance notes. Notably, the scent is strong without being overpowering. Additionally, I appreciate the aesthetic appeal of the bottle. The exquisite and vintage-inspired packaging complements the fragrance effectively. What truly sets Cremo’s body wash apart is its gentle nature. I have sensitive skin and this body wash does not cause dryness or irritation. In fact, it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth, which is not always the case with other brands I have tried. The affordability of Cremo’s body wash is a significant advantage. It offers a high-end feel and fragrance without incurring excessive costs, making it an easy choice for repeat purchases. If you or your family have sensitive skin or simply desire a pleasant scent without paying premium prices, Cremo’s body wash is an excellent option. Highly Recommended. 5/5 Stars.
