Review of 'Agile Database Techniques' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

It is a book written for dbas, and as such tends to go over what agile and persistence frameworks are. Sadly, the book is also probably eight years out of date at this point, making comparisons between Castor and Osage a bit pointless.

There is some relevant material, but mostly in the regression framework and multiple sandboxes that can be set up. This book really needs a new revision out, including a section on Nosql.

Ayala Malakh-Pines: Falling in Love (Routledge) 2 stars

Review of 'Falling in Love' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

It doesn't tell you anything you don't already know: the short version is that people fall in love because they meet certain individual needs, are mutually attracted, and are in the right place at the right time.

The author is a psychologist, so perhaps it's not surprising that the data gets interpreted this way. In some sense, I think that she got the answers she was looking for, because the questions and studies done first hand don't really give an open ended format.
