You're not alone. At any given moment, somewhere in the world someone struggles with the same software design problems you have. You know you don't want to reinvent the wheel (or worse, a flat tire), so you look to Design Patterns--the lessons learned by those who've faced the same problems. With Design Patterns, you get to take advantage of the best practices and experience of others, so that you can spend your time on...something else. Something more challenging. Something more complex. Something more fun. You want to learn about the patterns that matter--why to use them, when to use them, how to use them (and when NOT to use them). But you don't just want to see how patterns look in a book, you want to know how they look "in the wild". In their native environment. In other words, in real world applications. You also want to learn how patterns are used in the Java API, and how to exploit Java's built-in pattern support in your own code. You want to learn the real OO design principles and why everything your boss told you about inheritance might be wrong (and what to do instead). You want to learn how those principles will help the next time you're up a creek without a design paddle pattern. Most importantly, you want to learn the "secret language" of Design Patterns so that you can hold your own with your co-worker (and impress cocktail party guests) when he casually mentions his stunningly clever use of Command, Facade, Proxy, and Factory in between sips of a martini. You'll easily counter with your deep understanding of why Singleton isn't as simple as it sounds, how the Factory is so often misunderstood, or on the real relationship between Decorator, Facade and Adapter. With Head First Design Patterns, you'll avoid the embarrassment of thinking Decorator is something from the "Trading Spaces" show. Best of all, in a way that won't put you to sleep! We think your time is too important (and too short) to spend it struggling with academic texts. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect--a visually-rich format designed for the way your brain works. Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, Head First Design Patterns will load patterns into your brain in a way that sticks. In a way that lets you put them to work immediately. In a way that makes you better at solving software design problems, and better at speaking the language of patterns with others on your team.

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 WordPress Anthology

WordPress is the most widely used website platform and content management system on the Web today, running on approximately 15% of websites. It is open source and, hence, free, released under the GNU Public License version 2, or GPL2 for short. Its permissive use and development license, combined with its ease of use from both a website user’ s and developer’ s perspective, has helped WordPress rapidly gain global market share for the past several years. It continues to grow each month, outpacing other content management systems at a rate of more than two to one. Indeed, in the eight years since Matt Mullenweg and Mike Little created WordPress as a branch of another open-source project, WordPress has become big business … and business is good.

All of the code that you write during the course of going through this book is standards compliant. This is really important to us, and we would (adamantly) argue that understanding how to think in and write standards compliant XHTML (XHTML 1.0 Strict) & CSS (CSS 2.1) is one of the hallmarks of a talented web designer. There will be no tables for layout, no style information in your markup, and all those tags will be properly closed.

Your business needs a mobile strategy, but where do you start? Head First Mobile Web shows how to use the web tech- nology you’re already familiar with to make sites and apps that work on any device of any size.

Welcome to the world of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). With CSS, you can design gorgeous and highly effective Web sites. CSS offers power and flexibility to Web site developers and designers. This book shows you how to use CSS to make your Web pages come alive. Marketing experts like to say that the box helps sell the jewelry. CSS does several useful things, but one of the most important is to help you design much more attractive packages to hold your Web page contents.

HTML5 and CSS3 help lay the groundwork for the next generation of web applications. They let us build sites that are simpler to develop, easier to maintain, and more user-friendly. HTML5 has new elements for defining site structure and embedding content, which means we don’t have to resort to extra markup or plug-ins. CSS3 provides advanced selectors, graphical enhancements, and better font support that makes our sites more visually appealing without using font image replacement techniques, complex JavaScript, or graphics tools. Improved accessibility support will improve Ajax applications for people with disabilities, and offline support lets us start building working applications that don’t need an Internet connection.

Ext JS was developed by a unified team of programmers working toward a single goal—to provide a consistent core user interface and interaction library. Because of this, the code used for different functionalities and widgets is more coherent than in some other JavaScript libraries. Ext JS really shines in making web applications easyto- use and intuitive. If you are a web application developer, it's a great library to have in your arsenal.

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
