Tap dance evolved from the oral traditions and expressive cultures of the West Africans and the Irish that converged and collided in America, and was perpetuated by such key features as the tap challenge—any competition or showdown in which dancers compete against each other before an audience of spectators or judges. The book begins with an account of a buck dance challenge between Bill (“Bojangles”) Robinson and Harry Swinton at Brooklyn’s Bijou Theatre, in 1900, and proceeds decade by decade through the twentieth century. Vividly described are tap’s musical styles and steps—from buck-and-wing and ragtime stepping at the turn of the century; jazz tapping to the rhythms of hot jazz, swing, and bebop in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s; to hip-hop-inflected hitting and hoofing in heels (high and low) from the 1990s up to today. Tap dancing has long been considered “a man’s game,” and this book is the first history to highlight such outstanding female artists as Ada Overton Walker, Kitty O’Neill, and Alice Whitman, at the turn of the twentieth century, as well as the pioneering women composers of the tap renaissance, in the 1970s and 1980s, and the hard-hitting rhythm-tapping women of the millennium.Tap dancingUnited StatesHistoryTap dancingHistory.792.7/8Hill Constance Valis1584882MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQSFUBOOK9910792225203321Tap dancing America3868966UNINA03855nam 22005295 450 991064778570332120251202162029.09783031236693303123669610.1007/978-3-031-23669-3(MiAaPQ)EBC7190150(Au-PeEL)EBL7190150(CKB)26089872800041(DE-He213)978-3-031-23669-3(PPN)26821011X(EXLCZ)992608987280004120230201d2023 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDomain-Specific Languages Effective Modeling, Automation, and Reuse /by Andrzej Wąsowski, Thorsten Berger1st ed. 2023.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2023.1 online resource (494 pages)Print version: Wąsowski, Andrzej Domain-Specific Languages Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2023 9783031236686 Includes bibliographical references.This textbook describes the theory and the pragmatics of using and engineering high-level software languages – also known as modeling or domain-specific languages (DSLs) – for creating quality software. This includes methods, design patterns, guidelines, and testing practices for defining the syntax and the semantics of languages. While remaining close to technology, the book covers multiple paradigms and solutions, avoiding a particular technological silo. It unifies the modeling, the object-oriented, and the functional-programming perspectives on DSLs. The book has 13 chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 introduce and motivate DSLs. Chapter 3 kicks off the DSL engineering lifecycle, describing how to systematically develop abstract syntax by analyzing a domain. Chapter 4 addresses the concrete syntax, including the systematic engineering of context-free grammars. Chapters 5 and 6 cover the static semantics – with basic constraints as a starting point and type systems for advanced DSLs. Chapters 7 (Transformation), 8 (Interpretation), and 9 (Generation) describe different paradigms for designing and implementing the dynamic semantics, while covering testing and other kinds of quality assurance. Chapter 10 is devoted to internal DSLs. Chapters 11 to 13 show the application of DSLs and engage with simpler alternatives to DSLs in a highly distinguished domain: software variability. These chapters introduce the underlying notions of software product lines and feature modeling. The book has been developed based on courses on model-driven software engineering (MDSE) and DSLs held by the authors. It aims at senior undergraduate and junior graduate students in computer science or software engineering. Since it includes examples and lessons from industrial and open-source projects, as well as from industrial research, practitioners will also find it a useful reference. The numerous examples include code in Scala 3, ATL, Alloy, C#, F#, Groovy,Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, OCL, Python, QVT, Ruby, and Xtend. The book contains as many as 277 exercises. The associated code repository facilitates learning and using the examples in a course.Software engineeringBusiness information servicesSoftware EngineeringIT in BusinessSoftware engineering.Business information services.Software Engineering.IT in Business.005.11Wąsowski Andrzej941122Berger ThorstenMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910647785703321Domain-Specific Languages3363596UNINA
