The classic Pragmatic Unit Testing with Java in JUnit returns for a third edition, streamlined and rewritten with updated and more accessible code examples. In this edition, you'll learn how to create concise, maintainable unit tests with confidence. New chapters provide a foundation of examples for testing common concepts, and guidance on incorporating modern AI tools into your development and testing. Updated topics include improving test quality via development mnemonics, increasing ROI through test and production code refactoring, and using tests to drive development. Pragmatic Unit Testing in Java with JUnit steps you through all the important unit testing topics. If you've never written a unit test, you'll be hand-held through the hard part - getting set up and started. Once past the basics, you'll see numerous examples in order to start understanding what tests for common code concepts look like. You'll then learn how to effectively use the essential features of JUnit, the predominant tool for writing and executing unit tests in Java. You'll gain the combined wisdom of Jeff Langr and original authors Andy Hunt and Dave Thomas, providing decades of unit testing experience on real production systems. You'll learn how to: Craft your code to make unit testing easier in the first place Craft your unit tests to minimize your maintenance effort Use unit tests to support keeping your system clean through refactoring Refactor toward a design that will create the highest possible ROI Test the tough stuff, including code that must be mocked Remember what's important when writing unit tests Help your team reap and sustain the benefits of unit testing Use AI tooling as part of a development process that incorporates unit testing You won't just learn about unit testing in theory - you'll learn about "real" unit testing the Pragmatic way, by working through numerous code examples. What You Need: You'll need the Java SDK (Software Development Kit) version 21 or higher to work through the examples in the book. You'll also want an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) in which to build code. While most of the book doesn't assume use of any specific IDE, you'll find a number of "getting started" screen shots to help you if you're using IntelliJ IDEA.

An engrossing origin story for the personal computer--showing how the Apple II's software helped a machine transcend from hobbyists' plaything to essential home appliance. Skip the iPhone, the iPod, and the Macintosh. If you want to understand how Apple Inc. became an industry behemoth, look no further than the 1977 Apple II. Designed by the brilliant engineer Steve Wozniak and hustled into the marketplace by his Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, the Apple II became one of the most prominent personal computers of this dawning industry. The Apple II was a versatile piece of hardware, but its most compelling story isn't found in the feat of its engineering, the personalities of Apple's founders, or the way it set the stage for the company's multibillion-dollar future. Instead, historian Laine Nooney shows, what made the Apple II iconic was its software. In software, we discover the material reasons people bought computers. Not to hack, but to play. Not to code, but to calculate. Not to program, but to print. The story of personal computing in the United States is not about the evolution of hackers--it's about the rise of everyday users. Recounting a constellation of software creation stories, Nooney offers a new understanding of how the hobbyists' microcomputers of the 1970s became the personal computer we know today. From iconic software products like VisiCalc and The Print Shop to historic games like Mystery House and Snooper Troops to long-forgotten disk-cracking utilities, The Apple II Age offers an unprecedented look at the people, the industry, and the money that built the microcomputing milieu--and why so much of it converged around the pioneering Apple II.
