Programming applications for mobile devices

PhoneGap is a growing and leading open-source mobile web apps development framework that lets developers build JavaScript and HTML5-based web applications with native wrappers for more than six mobile platforms, including iOS, Android, and BlackBerry. This framework lets you build HTML- and JavaScript-based apps and still take advantage of native mobile device capabilities like camera, localStorage, geolocation, storage and much more, irrespective of the mobile platform you target. It also lets you use more specialized JavaScript frameworks like jQuery Mobile and more. Beginning PhoneGap is a definitive, one-of-a-kind book that teaches the fundamentals and strategies behind cross-platform mobile application development. Instead of learning languages like Objective-C, focus on building apps from day one for Android, iOS, Blackberry, WebOS and Symbian—without the complexities of these platforms.

Facebook (http://www.facebook.com) has grown phenomenally over the past several yearsfrom an Ivy League social web application to the second largest social web site on the Internet. The creators of Facebook have done an impressive job focusing their social software on the college demographic. In a natural progression of the social network, Facebook recently extended its network by developing a platform for developers to create new applications to allow Facebook users to interact in new and exciting ways.

Pro Djangorepresents two and a half years of accumulated knowledge in Python and Django, designed to educate readers who are already familiar with both topics and would like to take them further than they had previously done. You will learn a wide range of advanced techniques available in both Python and Django, along with tips on how to use them to achieve advanced functionality. This book is designed to be both a narrative to be read from start to finish and a general reference to be searched for specific information. Since you may not know what to look for or where to find it yet, feel free to read through the book first, then keep it handy for refreshing your memory as necessary.

Web development is hard, and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. Building a fully functional, dynamic web application with all the features that users want is a daunting task with a seemingly endless list of things you have to get just right. And before you can even start thinking about most of them, you must do a huge amount of up-front work: set up a database, create all the tables to store your data, plan out all the relationships and queries, come up with a solution for dynamically generating the HTML, figure out how to map specific URLs to different bits of code, and more. Just getting to the point where you can add features your users will see or care about is a vast and largely thankless job. But it doesn’t have to be that way. This book will teach you how to use Django, a “web framework” that will significantly ease the pain of embarking on new development projects. You’ll be able to follow along as you build real-world applications, and at every step you’ll see how Django is there to help you out. At the end, you’ll come to a wonderful realization—that web development is fun again.

The Internet, and in particular the World Wide Web, have effectively leveled the playing field for businesses and individuals around the world. Do you have a great idea for a web site or a service? Even the more advanced ideas can be relatively easily and cheaply realized without much in the way of initial outlay. You can get shared hosting for a few pennieseach month, and dedicated servers (virtual or otherwise) are getting to the point where they are cheaper now than managed web hosting was just a few years ago. This is all well and good, and being able to start out despite having just a few coins to rub together is certainly a great achievement. But what do you do when you want to take your application to the next step? What if it really starts to take off and you find you have the new Facebook or Amazon on your hands. What do you do then?

javascript

Who is this book for? This book is aimed at two audiences: people who already know JavaScript and need a solid reference, and people who are just learning the language and want to come up to speed quickly. In either case we assume you have at least a basic background in programming. We also assume you have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS. Finally, we assume you have a basic understanding of the web and its underlying protocols. If you have never written a line of code in your life, or if you are brand new to web technologies, this might not be the best book for you. But as long as you have a basic understanding of programming and web technologies, this book can help you learn JavaScript.

JavaScript is at a turning point. The language and those who program with it have matured. People are starting to realize that it is a complex subject, worthy of further study. Design patterns have been used in programming for years. They were first formally documented in Design Patterns by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson, and John Vlissides (affectionately known as the Gang of Four) and have been applied to countless object-oriented languages. Part of the appeal of design patterns is that they can be used uniformly over many different languages and syntaxes. The basic structure stays the same; only the details change. It is fairly easy, for instance, to take a pattern implemented in Java and convert it to C++.

Although most users think of the shell as an interactive command interpreter, it is really a programming language in which each statement runs a command. Because it must satisfy both the interactive and programming aspects of command execution, it is a strange language, shaped as much by history as by design.

Programación Web

Esto es una guía más para entender la filosofía de Django, que aporta nuevas ideas y trae trucos adicionales aportados por los desarrolladores del proyecto oficial de Django.

Spring framework

The Spring Framework has pumped new life into Java development. In the period immediately following the dot com bubble burst, Java applications were facing an uncertain future. The initial promises of J2EE had been thoroughly debunked, .NET was poised to offer a strong alternative, and the industry was generally sobering. Companies began to expect more application for less money and effort, and it wasn’t certain that the J2EE platform would be able to deliver.

Programing

You will learn fundamentals like IP, TCP, DNS and SSL by using working Python programs; you will also be able to familiarize yourself with infrastructure components like memcached and message queues. You can also delve into network server designs, and compare threaded approaches with asynchronous event-based solutions. But the biggest change is this edition's expanded treatment of the web. The HTTP protocol is covered in extensive detail, with each feature accompanied by sample Python code. You can use your HTTP protocol expertise by studying an entire chapter on screen scraping and you can then test lxml and BeautifulSoup against a real-world web site.

Git, Version Control System

What is version control, and why should you care? Version control is a system that records changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. For the examples in this book, you will use software source code as the files being version controlled, though in reality you can do this with nearly any type of file on a computer.

Android

Android Essentials is a no-frills, no-nonsense, code-centric run through the guts of application development on Google's Mobile OS. This book uses the development of a sample application to work through topics, focusing on giving developers the essential tools and examples required to make viable commercial applications work. Covering the entirety of the Android catalog in less than 150 pages is simply impossible. Instead, this book focuses on just four main topics: the application life cycle and OS integration, user interface, location-based services, and networking.

Application Design and Development

Expert PHP and MySQL takes you beyond learning syntax to showing you how to apply proven software development methods to building commerce-grade PHP and MySQL projects that will stand the test of time and reliably deliver on customer needs. Developers of real-world applications face numerous problems that seem trivial on the surface, but really do take some skill to get right. Error handling is about more than just the mechanics in the PHP syntax, but also about handling MySQL errors, logging those errors, and about hiding information about application internals that error messages sometimes can expose

IT

Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT) is a new security technology that started appearing on Intel server platforms in 2010. This book explains Intel Trusted Execution Technology for Servers, its purpose, application, advantages, and limitations. This book guides the server administrator / datacenter manager in enabling the technology as well as establishing a launch control policy that he can use to customize the server's boot process to fit the datacenter's requirements. This book explains how the OS (typically a Virtual Machine Monitor or Hypervisor) and supporting software can build on the secure facilities afforded by Intel TXT to provide additional security features and functions. It provides examples how the datacenter can create and use trusted pools.

O ver the past several years, rich client desktop platforms have gradually increased in popu- larity. Leading this trend have been the NetBeans Platform and the Eclipse RCP. The popularization of these desktop platforms has been primarily driven by their related IDEs, which are based on these platforms, providing tools for applications developed on top of their infrastructures. While the Eclipse RCP bases itself, via SWT and JFace, on homegrown idioms and concepts, the NetBeans Platform relies completely on the standard Java APIs, via AWT and Swing, fully integrating the official concepts of the Java Standard Edition.
