From one installation, you can control multiple storefronts, all sharing customer and product information. Magento’s templates and themes enable you to customize the look and feel of your store, even optimizing it for mobile phones. Extensions enable you to connect Magento to a large number of payment gateways and shipping services. Modular code enables you to upgrade your Magento installation while retaining your customizations. Support is provided free by an active open source community and by subscription to Varien, the company behind Magento.

When you create an online store with Magento, you usually follow a defined series of steps. This book is arranged to support that process. Each chapter shows you how to get the most from one step.

You will learn to customize the default Magento storefront so that it becomes your store and also about Magento’s directory structure and where some of the elements of a store are customized. This experience will help you if you decide to go beyond this book and install new themes or create your own themes.

As you work your way through each chapter, your store will grow in scope and sophistication. By the time you finish this book, you should have a basic but complete, working online store.

Second language acquisition an introductory course 3rd editions

Second Language Acquisition An Introductory Course 200x300 Second language acquisition an introductory course 3rd editions

Second language acquisition an introductory course 3rd edition | Susan M.Gass – Larry Selinker | ISBN-10: 0805854983 | ISBN-13: 978-0805854985 | File-type : pdf 

Second language acquisition an introductory course 3rd edition - The new and updated edition of this bestselling introductory textbook is a comprehensive overview of the field of second language acquisition. In an easy-to-read, accessible style, it provides students with information about the scope of the field, but also provides background information on related areas such as first language acquisition. The book introduces students to current issues of data collection and data analysis, as well as provides an historical overview of the field, thus giving students context and perspective about how today’s issues arise from earlier approaches.

Each chapter offers discussion questions and/or problems so that students can put their knowledge to use in a way that is relevant to what they have learned, but that also challenges them to go beyond what is in the chapter and to relate information across chapters.

The book covers a range of areas of second language research including sociolinguistic, psycholinguistic, and linguistic perspectives. It also includes a chapter on the lexicon and on instructed second language learning. The concluding chapter pulls the information in the previous chapters together into a coherent framework that challenges students to think about the field of second language acquisition as a whole.

Seven Years to Seven Figures: The Fast-Track Plan to Becoming a Millionaire

Posted: 04 May 2012 09:35 PM PDT

Seven Years to Seven Figures Seven Years to Seven Figures: The Fast Track Plan to Becoming a Millionaire

Seven years to seven figures The fast track plan to Becoming a Millionaire | Michael Masterson

This is not the book for people who merely want to enjoy a comfortable retirement, but for those whose goal is nothing less than becoming fabulously wealthy. Masterson (Automatic Wealth) derides what he calls the “pinch-save-and-wait” philosophy of contributing the maximum to one’s 401(k) and depending on compound interest and time to work their magic. Such tactics, he says, can take decades to bear fruit, whereas most of his clients are baby boomers who hope to realize astonishing gains in a few short years. The first part of the book is about “super-sizing” one’s income to six-figure levels in order to free up money for investing in one’s own businesses, and soaking up knowledge from mentors and bosses. The rest contains numerous stories of self-made millionaires (almost all from sales and direct marketing) along with Masterson’s advice: invest in businesses you understand and, more importantly, can actually control; be entrepreneurial and a risk taker; never stop networking and selling yourself; invest heavily in real estate. Masterson’s aggressive, gratingly self-promotional message is oddly out of synch with Dietz’s gentle, avuncular, let’s-chat-on-the-porch narration. Dietz’s wonderful storytelling voice is wasted on this get-rich-quick scheme.
