A veteran hockey writer takes on hockey culture and the NHL--addressing the games most controversial issue Whether its on-ice fist fights or head shots into the glass, hockey has become a nightly news spectacle--with players pummeling and bashing each other across the ice like drunken gladiators. And while the NHL may actually condone on-ice violence as a ticket draw, diehard hockey fan and expert Adam Proteau argues against hockeys transformation into a thuggish blood sport. In Fighting the Good Fight, Proteau sheds light on the many perspectives of those in and around the game, with interviews of current and former NHL stars, coaches, general managers, and league executives, as well as medical experts. One of the most well-known media figures on the hockey scene today, famous for his funny, feisty observations as a writer for the Toronto Star and The Hockey News and commentator on CBC radio and TV, Adam Proteau is also one of the few mainstream media voices who is vehemently anti-fighting in hockey. Not only is his book a plea to the games gatekeepers to finally clamp down on the runaway violence that permeates the sport even at its highest level, he offers realistic suggestions on ways to finally clean the game up. • Includes interviews with medical experts on head injuries and concussions, as well as with other members of the media • The author not only wages an attack on the value of fighting in hockey--but also on the establishment hockey culture Covering the most polarizing issue in hockey today, Fighting the Good Fight gives hockey fans and sports lovers everywhere a reason to stamp their feet and whistle--at a rare display of eloquence and common sense.

The book looks at a number of design strategies that are especially suited for C# code. Not every application can use the same design strategy, so it’s important for this book to discuss a number of them. Using this approach helps developers hone the application approach to match particular requirements. In addition, the book discusses methods for writing the application using less code. This book promises to make developers more efficient, and allows them to improve the reliability and security of their code, which then translates into less user frustration, lower support costs, and fewer problems such as data loss.   .NET Domain-Driven Design with C# Problem Design Solution (ISBN: 9780470147566) – This is the first technical title of its kind and is a revolutionary book for the object oriented developer. It is a test driven book that takes the reader through the intense process of building a real-world application using Domain-Driven Design implemented in C# (.NET). The reader is introduced to a business domain of a real-world Construction Administration application for an architecture firm. The application is a critical, legacy MS Access application that has outgrown MS Access and is ready to become a full-fledged enterprise application. The domain is modeled out via whiteboard sketches, and the application is built using C#, ASP.NET, AJAX.NET, and other Microsoft technologies and best practices. The main focus of the book is on the domain object model and the supporting framework that is being built to support that object model.
