Manejo de PDF en Java.

This book will teach you about PDF, Adobe’s Portable Document Format, from a Java developer’s point of view. You’ll learn how to use iText in a Java/J2EE application to produce and manipulate PDF documents. Along the way, you’ll become acquainted with interesting PDF features and discover e-document functionality you may not have known about before. Today, iText is the world’s leading F/OSS PDF library. It’s released under the Affero General Public License (AGPL) and is available in two versions: the original Java version, and the C# port, iTextSharp. These libraries make it possible for you to enhance applications with dynamic PDF solutions.

The Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a modern graphical display system for Windows. It’s a radical change from the technologies that came before it, with innovative features such as built-in hardware acceleration and resolution independence, both of which you’ll explore in this chapter. WPF is the best toolkit to use if you want to build a rich desktop application that runs on Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 in desktop mode (as well as the corresponding versions of Windows Server). In fact, it’s the only general-purpose toolkit that targets these versions of Windows. By comparison, Microsoft’s new Metro toolkit—although exciting—is limited to Windows 8 systems only. (WPF applications can even be made to run on ancient Windows XP computers, which are still found in many businesses. The only limitation is that you must configure Visual Studio to target the slightly older .NET 4.0 Framework, rather than .NET 4.5.) In this book, you’ll take your first look at the architecture of WPF. You’ll learn how it deals with varying screen resolutions, and you’ll get a high-level survey of its core assemblies and classes. You’ll also consider how WPF has evolved from its initial release to version 4.5

Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), alongside Windows Workflow Foundation (WF) and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), is intended to become the primary framework for building the next wave of business applications for the Microsoft Windows operating system. WCF enables you to build powerful service-oriented systems, based on connected services and applications. You can use WCF to create new services, as well as augment and interoperate with the functionality available through many existing services created by using other technologies. When designing distributed applications in the past, you frequently had to choose a specific technology, such as Web services, COM+, Microsoft Message Queue, or .NET Framework Remoting. This choice often had a fundamental impact on the architecture of your solutions. WCF provides a consistent model for using a variety of technologies, enabling you to design and architect your solutions without being restricted by a specific connectivity mechanism.

This book teaches you programming from first principles . It shows you how to use the C# language to solve problems and how C# is used within the Microsoft XNA Framework to create computer games . The games that you write can run on a Microsoft Windows PC, an Xbox 360, or a Zune device . Along the way you will also gain an insight into how software is created, and what makes an effective programmer .

Data clustering is the process of placing data items into groups so that similar items are in the same group (cluster) and dissimilar items are in different groups. After a data set has been clustered, it can be examined to find interesting patterns. For example, a data set of sales transactions might be clustered and then inspected to see if there are differences between the shopping patterns of men and women.
