| Torts Personal Injury Litigation (West Legal Studies) by CENGAGE Delmar Learning Torts Personal Injury Litigation | | I have found this book to be very useful and will continue to use it as a good reference book in the future. It is very detailed however and not the most user-friendly for the novice Legal Assistant. Written by an Attorney, it is very technical. In addition, I find the Appendix is a little vague at times. | | Torts Personal Injury Litigation (West Legal Studies) by CENGAGE Delmar Learning Product Description | | "Torts Personal Injury Litigation", 4th Edition is a necessity for paralegal and legal secretary students. Complete with current "hot topic" legal issues, this 4th edition provides an in-depth overview of the law of torts and identifies the role of the paralegal within tort litigation. Case studies examine such timely controversial issues as AIDS, the alleged tort committed by President Clinton, breast implants and attacks on abortion clinics. These case studies allow the reader to examine court opinions, which are the central documents in the law of torts. |

Weekly cocoa app challenge, week 1
Chris Forsythe: “For Cocoa I’ve been working on things called ‘stupid apps.’ Basically these are a set of applications that perform 1-2 tasks, help me learn a new thing, and allows me to continue evolving with Cocoa.”
Chris is posting one of these apps a week, and invites anyone learning Cocoa to re-implement the app. When he posts the next app, he’ll post his source code for the previous app.
Pretty cool idea. Here’s the summary page for the project.

Huevos now Universal
Huevos 1.1.1 released!
It’s now a universal binary—and it’s one of those apps that really only took clicking a checkbox to make it universal. Piece of cake.
Huevos was my first Cocoa app. I was learning Cocoa by reading the first edition of Aaron Hillegass’s excellent Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X. I couldn’t wait—I started writing Huevos before I even finished the book! (This was way back in early 2002.)
Which is also a way of saying that the code in Huevos looks like beginner’s code. But that’s okay—because it also works. I’ve hardly ever had bug reports for Huevos. (I mention the code because it’s open source and you can actually download the code.)
For this release I didn’t touch the code, just rebuilt it as a universal binary.
(In case you’ve never seen Huevos: it’s a search-engine launcher that’s designed to be entirely keyboard-driven. You may be familiar with waffle software’s very cool Nuevos, which is based on Huevos.)

Learning the Terminal in Jaguar, Part 1
O’Reilly: “Mac OS X’s Terminal application—there it sits in your Utilities folder, foreign and mysterious. You’ve heard that it’s a portal to the new world of the Unix command line, a world where your flurries of mouse clicks can be replaced with a just few keystrokes. But you've been wary of rushing into this new territory...”

Functions make life easier
PHP Beginner: “When you first start learning PHP, there are so many aspects to the language. PHP has hundreds of builtin functions that make it possible to do powerful things. But it does not stop there since you can write your own.”

MacGrep with source code
Orane.org: “I’ve had some thoughts about learning cocoa programming for some time, and so I decided to give it a try by developing my very own grep front-end.
Well I spent a (very small) week-end, after having read some cocoa programming tutorials and technical articles, to code the app (my first in Objective-C).”

Including Files (with PHP)
PHP Beginner: “Another thing we can do is ‘include’ files. This comes in handy when you have the same information on all your pages, over and over again. For example, connecting to the same database, printing the same HTML at the top or bottom of a page. It can be used for headers or footers, or for simplifying things.”
If you’ve been thinking about learning PHP, check out the PHP Beginner site. I wish it had been around when I was learning PHP.

Learning the Mac OS X Terminal, Part 4
O’Reilly: “Things really become interesting, however, when you take advantage of a little known feature of term files, the ability to define a command line to run when the window opens. Doing this allows you to create your own double-clickable run files that open in Terminal within a window of your exact specifications and run any command line (or script file) you can come up with.”
