A marketing plan is the central focus for all the goals , proposals and activities of marketing in a company and probably the most important document to determine the performance.
Nevertheless and precisely due that , the marketing plan has become an enervating activity that requires time and demands considerable skills in a series of management functions and marketing.

Measuring Computer Performance: A Practitioner's Guide

Great introductory text!

Helpful Votes: 28 out of 28 total.
Review Date: 2001-07-06

In a nutshell: nicely written introductory text that covers the basics of performance analysis. It starts with an overview of performance analysis and associated techniques. The subsequent chapters lay the groundwork by giving key concepts and techniques, and then segue into the techniques themselves.

Content and Organization: 278 pages comprised of 11 chapters, a glossary and two appendices of probability distributions and selected statistical tables. Chapter topics are: (1) Introduction, (2) Metrics of Performance (what you should be measuring), (3) Average Performance and Variability (introduces statistical concepts and techniques related to computer performance analysis), (4) Errors in Experimental Measurements (good discussion of accuracy, precision and resolution, and the fundamentals of error quantification with which to validate your findings), (5) Comparing Alternatives, (6) Measurement Tools and Techniques, (7) Benchmark Programs (this chapter merits a book of its own), (8) Linear Regression Models, (9) Design of Experiments, (10) Simulation, and (11) Queuing Analysis.

This book requires some probability and statistics skills, but is a much gentler introduction to the subject than Raj Jain's classic, The Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis. There are two things I especially like about this book: (1) it does not immediately launch into quantitative methods. Instead, it introduces them in manageable chunks that will not intimidate a reader whose math skills are rusty. (2) It includes design of experiments, which is a powerful tool that will also prove invaluable in capacity planning - the flip side of performance analysis.

If you've thumbed through other books on computer performance analysis and felt the learning curve was too steep or your math skills were not up-to-par, this book will give you the basics and begin you on a journey towards more advanced techniques. I highly recommend it as a first text on performance analysis and give it 5 stars for making this important discipline accessible to a wider audience.

For those of us who have been and are reading tens of books about meditation "to learn how to", Rene David Alkalay's has finally achieved this goal. In a gentle conversation with the reader, using examples that make you smile because they are so familiar and intimate, the author puts you to task with very precise assignments... to do NOW. Do not expect to follow yet another's journey, but to engage on your own, trusting to open your own channels.

This primer is a fun and gentle read. An excellent tutorial for ML beginners. Highly recommended to people who are interested in learning more about the ML language and basic concepts in functional programming.

The author has a clear grasp and good understanding of his intended audience. His prose style is highly engaging.

I simply couldn't put the book down until I finished reading it. Yes, it's that fun! One of the best introductory programming language books around, on par with the "Little Lisper"!! It sure would make you want to learn more about functional programming in general.

This is a great textbook for undergrad computer science introductory programming courses. I know most students would appreciate it if there are more introductory books like this in computer science.

This book is a great one for any nurse practitioner or student. The authors are well-versed in the issues that have faced NP's, and those issues that continue to drive the changes in the roles of Nurse practitioners in the U.S. I highly recommend this one as a reference for those who seek to show the worth of the NP to others with a reference, and to examine where and how the NP movement began and where it's going.
