Apress 2012 Android is one of the major players in the mobile phone market, and its market share is continuously growing. Android is the first complete, open, and free mobile platform, and it offers endless opportunities for mobile application developers. As with all other platforms, having a robust and flexible development environment is the key for the platform's success. Eclipse is the most adopted integrated development environment (IDE) for Java programmers. And now Eclipse is the preferred IDE for Android app developers. Android Apps with Eclipse provides a detailed overview of Eclipse, including the steps and illustrations to help Android developers quickly get up to speed on Eclipse and to streamline their day-to-day software development.

Microsoft Press, 2012 Start Here! Learn the Kinect™ API gives you an overview of how the Kinect sensor works and how the Kinect for Windows SDK exposes each of the data sources.

Apress, 2012 Metro apps are an important addition to Microsoft Windows 8, providing the cornerstone for a single, consistent programming and interaction model across desktops, tablets, and smartphones. The Metro app user experience is very different from previous generations of Windows applications: Metro apps are full-screen and favor a usability style that is simple, direct, and free from distractions. Metro apps represent a complete departure from previous versions of Windows. There are entirely new APIs, new interaction controls, and a very different approach to managing the life cycle of applications. Metro apps can be developed using a range of languages, including C#, Visual Basic, C++, and, the topic of this book, JavaScript. Windows 8 is the first version of Windows that embraces the skills and knowledge of web application developers and makes JavaScript and HTML firstclass citizens in application development. In this book, I show you how you can build on your knowledge of web app development to create Metro apps using HTML and JavaScript. The result is apps that look and feel like an integral part of the Windows experience and that take advantage of core platform facilities. This book gives you an essential jump start into the world of Metro; by the end, you will understand how to use the controls and features that define the core Metro experience.

Apress, 2012 This book aims to help web designers and developers come to grips with building exciting, accessible, and usable web sites/applications with HTML5. The book looks at using HTML5 to serve the needs of the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities using assistive technology (AT) and older people. It aims to be a useful go-to guide by giving you practical advice. The book explores the new semantics of HTML5 and how to combine them with authoring practices you may know from using earlier versions of HTML. It also aims to demonstrate how HTML5 content is currently supported (or not) by assistive technologies such as screen readers, and what this practically means for you as you endeavor to make your HTML5 projects accessible. The HTML5 specification is huge, with new APIs and patterns that can be difficult to understand from an accessibility perspective. Accessibility itself can also seem complex and nuanced, in particular if you have no experience dealing with the needs of people with disabilities. This book aims to hold your hand through the process of gaining an understanding of the needs of people with disabilities, as well as the new specification. Accessibility isn’t a mysterious or esoteric subject, but it is nuanced. And HTML5 is a gamechanger. Ultimately, creating accessible content is really a quality design issue. (Good design enables; bad design disables.) And getting design right is often a matter of choosing the correct approach. This book hopes to be your companion in understanding both, HTML5 and good accessibility design.

Apress, 2011 In this chapter you’ll unbox a new Kinect—or if you have one already, you’ll disconnect it from your Xbox. Then you’ll install some software, plug the Kinect into a computer, and take a look at what all of the fuss is about with this unique device. You’ll learn what the different components of the Kinect are and be able to play with some simple controls to get a feel for how all the parts work together to make the magic happen. The Kinect is marketed, packaged, and designed for use with Microsoft’s Xbox gaming console. The Xbox is a remarkable living room entertainment system, and if you haven’t tried Dance Central or Kinect Sports, I recommend that you do—playing those two games at the 24-hour Best Buy in Union Square here in NYC is what got me so excited about the Kinect in the first place. I dragged as many friends as I could down to the store so they could see this amazing technology in action. That said, this book is the unofficial manual for how to take a Kinect and use it outside the living room—no Xbox required. Now, let’s make sure you have everything you need to unplug your Kinect from the game system—or purchase one by itself, plug it into your computer, and get tinkering. Meet the Kinect introduces the exciting world of volumetric computing using the Microsoft Kinect. You'll learn to write scripts and software enabling the use of the Kinect as an input device. Interact directly with your computer through physical motion. The Kinect will read and track body movements, and is the bridge between the physical reality in which you exist and the virtual world created by your software. Microsoft’s Kinect was released in fall 2010 to become the fastest-selling electronic device ever. For the first time, we have an inexpensive, three-dimensional sensor enabling direct interaction between human and computer, between the physical world and the virtual. The Kinect has been enthusiastically adopted by a growing culture of enthusiasts, who put it to work in creating technology-based art projects, three-dimensional scanners, adaptive devices for sight-impaired individuals, new ways of interacting with PCs, and even profitable business opportunities. Meet the Kinect is the resource to get you started in mastering the Kinect and the exciting possibilities it brings. You’ll learn about the Kinect hardware and what it can do. You’ll install drivers and learn to download and run the growing amount of Kinect software freely available on the Internet. From there, you’ll move into writing code using some of the more popular frameworks and APIs, including the official Microsoft API and the language known as Processing that is popular in the art and creative world. Along the way, you’ll learn principles and terminology. Volumetric computing didn’t begin with the Kinect. The field is decades old—if you’ve ever had an MRI, for example, you have benefitted from volumetric computing technology. Meet the Kinect goes beyond just the one device to impart the principles and terminology underlying the exciting field of volumetric computing that is now wide-open and accessible to the average person. amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1430238887/buythisbooks-20

Wrox Press, 2012 SINCE ITS INTRODUCTION IN THE FALL of 2008, Android has grown and matured to the point where it is currently the number one smartphone platform in terms of shipments worldwide. Along with that growth is an interest in writing applications that run natively on the device and that take advantage of the device’s features, such as the camera and voice recognition. Since the release of the .NET Framework in January 2002, its growth has been impressive. It is the most popular development framework in use today. While the .NET Framework was in initial development, Miguel de Icaza, who worked for Ximian, created his own C# compiler, and from that the Mono framework was born. In 2003, Novell purchased Ximian. In 2011, Attachmate purchased Novell. Later in 2011, Xamarin was formed and all of the products associated with Mono, MonoTouch, Mono for Android, and MonoDevelop were transferred to Xamarin. The payoff for us as developers is that Xamarin is laser-focused on Mono for Android and MonoTouch, and on making those the best products available for development on mobile with Android and iPhone. Throughout all of this, the Mono framework has grown to run across various platforms. Initially, Mono was designed to run on Linux. Since that time, Mono has branched out and is available across several non-Windows platforms. In the summer of 2009, the MonoTouch framework was shipped. This allowed developers to write applications with the .NET Framework and using the C# language to run applications written for the iPhone. In February 2010, de Icaza confi rmed on his blog that the Mono team were working on an implementation of Mono for Android similar in concept to MonoTouch. This implementation initially was called MonoDroid and fi nally was named Mono for Android. To .NET developers, the ability to write applications in C# using many of the existing APIs that they are already familiar with is very attractive. .NET developers are not required to learn the ins and outs of the Java language, nor are they required to learn the Eclipse IDE. .NET developers can stay within the Visual Studio IDE that they are already accustomed to, use the C# language that they already know, make calls in the .NET Framework that they are already familiar with, and create an application for the Android platform. I’m excited about the possibilities that this offers. The ability to run natively on the device should not be understated. HTML5 is a great emerging standard for providing applications. Frameworks that are being built will take advantage of what the web browser allows. Unfortunately, it has several problems. For example, a web application cannot access all of the device, so currently you can’t access the camera or voice recognition or run applications in the background. Also, HTML5 won’t be a full and accepted standard for several years. amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1118026438/buythisbooks-20

Apress, 2011 By now, you have written an iOS application or two. You have also learned that making a great app is hard work. From spontaneous crashes to memory leaks and bugs that create other bugs, the simplest of apps can quickly become a nightmare. Fortunately, these issues are easy to diagnose with the tools at our disposal. That is what this book is mostly about. We have a toolbox available to us as iOS developers. Ultimately, the question quickly becomes: Which tool is best for the task at hand? This book will answer that question for most of your cases. For the cases where there is no obvious answer, you will be equipped with some approaches and techniques that will point you in the right direction. In most crafts, the transition from being a complete beginner to being capable is usually swift. The goal during this transition is simply to become functional with the tools and understand the language the craftsmen speak. This transition also builds confidence in the new practitioner. At the end of this transition, practitioners are fully capable of accomplishing most tasks and solving most problems thrown at them. Most stop at proficient, however. As a magician, I progressed from a newcomer to the art to a proficient amateur relatively quickly. As I learned a new technique or a new effect, I was very excited to practice. As my skill improved, that desire to practice lessened, and I even became bored with rehearsing the same effect or technique over and over. My skill had reached a plateau. I know what I must do to get to the next level, but I don’t want to go there right now. That is OK with me. amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1430236086/buythisbooks-20

Apress, 2011 Windows Phone, updated in Windows Phone 7.5, presents an exciting opportunity for developers to build and monetize mobile applications. It represents a major new investment into mobile computing by Microsoft, and in many ways is a major break from the past. To build applications for Windows Phone, it is important to understand its target consumer audience and design philosophy. Up until roughly 2007, Windows Mobile was a growing, well-received platform targeting primarily enterprise users. Windows Mobile was taking share from competitors such as Palm and going head-tohead with RIM Blackberry, but overall it was considered fairly successful. The release of the iPhone and its consumer focus and applications store it turned the mobile device market on its head, and was a major wake-up call for Microsoft. Tack on the surge by Google’s Android operating system, and the Smartphone market became hyper-competitive. Windows Phone represents a sea change in approach by Microsoft toward mobile computing. Although Windows Mobile 6.x and earlier resembles a miniaturized version of desktop Windows, with its iconic Start screen, Windows Phone is very different with a user interface that is more similar to the ZuneHD interface – on steroids. When the ZuneHD was introduced, it received positive feedback from critics, but it wasn’t highly marketed toward consumers. It also did not have a third-party application Marketplace. Still, it was an opportunity for Microsoft to try out new mobile computing concepts on a mass audience of a few million users. Learning from its own stumbles, taking what works from Zune, and then looking at the existing mobile landscape, Microsoft came up with Windows Phone with a dramatically different user experience from Windows Mobile, a new mobile development paradigm, and a completely different approach in the market. With Windows Phone, Microsoft makes the end-user consumer the top priority, whereas in the past, with Windows Mobile, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) was Microsoft’s primary customer. This does not mean that Microsoft is OEMing the device directly. Instead, Microsoft spec’d out the hardware and software for the platform such that OEMs can take that specification as a basis for further innovation. OEMs can build devices with or without a keyboard, or with slightly different physical sizes, different screen types, and additional features like a camera and more storage, to name a few options. Windows Phone devised have an 800 • 480 screen resolution, the exact same user interface and APIs, and the same range of sensors no matter what the OEM or Mobile Operator. This means that developers can build an application and be confident that it will run on all available devices. amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1430239360/buythisbooks-20

Apress, 2011 Kernel development can be a daunting task and is very different from programming traditional user applications. The kernel environment is more volatile and complex. Extraordinary care must be taken to ensure that kernel code is free of bugs because any issue may have serious consequences to the stability, security, and performance of the system. This book covers the fundamentals necessary to begin programming in the kernel. We cover kernel development from a theoretical and practical point of view. We cover concepts fundamental to kernel development such as virtual memory and synchronization, as well as more practical knowledge. The book primarily focuses on Mac OS X, however the XNU kernel is also used by iOS, and hence the theoretical material in this book will also apply to it. By far the most common reason for doing development within the kernel’s execution environment is to implement a device driver for controlling internal or external hardware devices. Because of this, much of the focus of this book is centred on the development of device drivers. The primary framework for device driver development in the XNU kernel is I/O Kit, which we cover extensively. As theory becomes boring quickly we have provided working code samples which you can play with to learn more or use as a starting point for your own drivers. We hope you have as much fun reading this book as we have enjoyed writing it. The book was written for anyone interested in Apple’s iOS and Mac OS X operating systems, with a focus on practical kernel development, especially driver devel. Regardless of whether you are a hobbyist, student, or professional engineer, we hope to provide you with material of interest. While the focus is on kernel programming and development, we will cover many theoretical aspects of OS technology and provide a detailed overview of the OS X and iOS kernel environments. The aim of the book is to provide the knowledge necessary to start developing your own kernel extensions and drivers. We will focus in particular on the I/O Kit framework for writing device drivers and extensions, but we will also cover general knowledge that will give you a deeper understanding of how I/O Kit interacts with the OS. If you are mainly interested in developing OS X or iOS user applications, this book may not be for you. We will not cover Cocoa or any other framework used for developing end-user applications. This book covers kernel-programming topics such as driver and kernel extension development on Apple’s OS X and iOS platform. Some knowledge of operating system internals will be useful in understanding the concepts discussed in this book. Having completed an introductory computer science or engineering course will be a helpful starting point. Additionally, knowledge of at least one programming language will be required in order to understand examples throughout the book. Since we focus on I/O Kit, which is written in a subset of C++ called Embedded C++, it would be highly beneficial to have some experience with C++ (or at least C) to make the most of this book. The book does not cover general programming topics or theory. We will briefly cover some fundamentals of OS theory to provide a context for further discussions. amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1430235365/buythisbooks-20

Apress, 2012 In 1985 I brought home a new shiny Commodore Amiga 1000, about one week after they were released. Coming with a whopping 512K of memory, programmable colormaps, a Motorola 68K CPU, and a modern multitasking operating system, it had “awesome” writ all over it. Metaphorically speaking, of course. I thought it might make a good platform for an astronomy program, as I could now control the colors of those star-things instead of having to settle for a lame fixed color palette forced upon me from the likes of Hercules or the C64. So I coded up a 24-line basic routine to draw a random star field, turned out the lights, and thought, “Wow! I bet I could write a cool astronomy program for that thing!” Twenty-six years later I am still working on it and hope to get it right one of these days. Back then my dream device was something I could slip into my pocket, pull out when needed, and aim it at the sky to tell me what stars or constellations I was looking at. It’s called a smartphone. I thought of it first. As good as these things are for playing music, making calls, or slinging birdies at piggies, it really shines when you get to the 3D stuff. After all, 3D is all around us— unless you are a pirate and have taken to wearing an eye patch, in which case you’ll have very limited depth perception. Arrrggghhh. Plus 3D apps are fun to show off to people. They’ll “get it.” In fact, they’ll get it much more than, say, that mulch buyer’s guide app all the kids are talking about. (Unless they show off their mulch in 3D, but that would be a waste of a perfectly good dimension.) So, 3D apps are fun to see, fun to interact with, and fun to program. Which brings me to this book. I am by no means a guru in this field. The real gurus are the ones who can knock out a couple of NVIDIA drivers before breakfast, 4-dimensional hypercube simulators by lunch, and port Halo to a TokyoFlash watch before the evening’s Firefly marathon on SyFy. I can’t do that. But I am a decent writer, have enough of a working knowledge of the subject to make me harmless, and know how to spell “3D.” So here we are. amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1430240024/buythisbooks-20

Apress, 2011。epub格式 Learn cocos2d Game Development with iOS 5 (Learn Apress) Did you ever imagine yourself writing a computer game and being able to make money selling it? With Apple’s iTunes App Store and the accompanying mobile devices iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, it’s now easier than ever. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s easy— there’s still a lot to learn about game development and programming games. But you are reading this book, so I believe you’ve already made up your mind to take this journey. And you’ve chosen one of the most interesting game engines to work with: cocos2d for iOS. Developers using cocos2d have a huge variety of backgrounds. Some, like me, have been professional game developers for years and even decades. Others are just starting to learn programming for iOS devices or are freshly venturing into the exciting field of game development. Whatever your background might be, I’m sure you’ll get something out of this book. Two things unite all cocos2d developers: we love games, and we love creating and programming them. This book will pay homage to that yet won’t forget about the tools that will help ease the development process. Most of all, you’ll be making games that matter along the way, and you’ll see how this knowledge is applied in real game development. You see, I get bored by books that spend all their pages teaching me how to make yet another dull Asteroids clone using some specific game-programming API. What’s more important, I think, are game programming concepts and tools—the things you take with you even as APIs or your personal programming preferences change. I’ve amassed hundreds of programming and game development books over 20 years. The books I value the most to this day are those who went beyond the technology and taught me why certain things are designed and programmed the way they are. This book will focus not just on working game code but also on why it works and which trade-offs to consider. amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1430238135/buythisbooks-20

You will immediately see which values you can modify and how they affect the result so you can create the exact style and layout you want—without worrying whether it will work. This is more than a cookbook. It systematically covers several usable features of CSS and combines these features with HTML to create reusable patterns. Each pattern has an intuitive name to make it easy to find, remember, and talk about. Accessibility and best practices are carefully engineered into each design pattern, example, and source code. You can read straight through the book, use it as a reference, and use it to find solutions. Each example includes a screenshot and all relevant HTML and CSS code so you can easily see how each design pattern works. The explanation for each design pattern is included alongside, so you can easily study the example while you read about how it works. Design patterns are organized by topic, and all usable CSS rules are covered in depth and in context like no other book. All design patterns are accessible and follow best practices, making this book a worthwhile read from cover to cover, as well as an excellent reference to keep by your side while you are designing and coding. This book unleashes your productivity and creativity in web design and development. Design patterns are like Legos—you can combine them in countless ways to create any design. They are like tools in a toolbox, and this book arms you with hundreds of tools you can whip out to solve problems quickly and reliably. Instead of hacking away at a solution, this book shows you how to create designs predictably— by combining predictable patterns. amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1430237805/buythisbooks-20

wiley 2012 A concise introduction to IMT-Advanced Systems, including LTE-Advanced and WiMAX There exists a strong demand for fully extending emerging Internet services, including collaborative applications and social networking, to the mobile and wireless domain. Delivering such services can be possible only through realizing broadband in the wireless. Two candidate technologies are currently competing in fulfilling the requirements for wireless broadband networks, WiMAX and LTE. At the moment, LTE and its future evolution LTE-Advanced are already gaining ground in terms of vendor and operator support. Whilst both technologies share certain attributes (utilizing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) in downlink, accommodating smart antennas and full support for IP-switching, for example), they differ in others (including uplink technology, scheduling, frame structure and mobility support). Beyond technological merits, factors such as deployment readiness, ecosystem maturity and migration feasibility come to light when comparing the aptitude of the two technologies. LTE, LTE-Advanced and WiMAX: Towards IMT-Advanced Networks provides a concise, no-nonsense introduction to the two technologies, covering both interface and networking considerations. More critically, the book gives a multi-faceted comparison, carefully analyzing and distinguishing the characteristics of each technology and spanning both technical and economic merits. A “big picture” understanding of the market strategies and forecasts is also offered. Discusses and critically evaluates LTE, LTE-Advanced and WiMAX (Legacy and Advanced) amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/LTE-LTE-Advanced-WiMAX-IMT-Advanced-Networks/dp/0470745681/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1333121278&sr=8-1

Apress, 2011 Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a graphical computer platform built and distributed by Microsoft to create rich client applications for Windows systems. With WPF, you can build rich interfaces with animations and amazing graphical effects as easily as you can build minimalist and corporate user interfaces for line-of-business (LOB) applications. Unfortunately, because WPF is such a powerful and complex technology, it requires some initial effort to understand its mechanisms. Moreover, for a newbie, the XAML markup used to create the user interfaces can be tough to come to grips with. Creating a WPF application and, more generally, creating any type of application with a user interface is a rather convoluted task; it comprises a number of phases and the final result is likely to be of a certain complexity. A standalone application built using WPF is usually made up of various “components” that are used to encapsulate the “modules” of the software. You might have, for instance, a component to access the data, a component to include a logical function, a component to render the user interface, and so on. In this book, I will show you how to create and implement WPF, using best practices to create a realworld application. At the same time, I’ll also show you how to structure and architect a WPF application made up of different components that you’ll be able to recycle for future applications. By the end of the book, you should have a working knowledge of WPF and know how to architect a WPF application using the tools provided by Microsoft, such as SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Edition, the Entity Framework, Window Communication Foundation (WCF), and more. amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1430234709/buythisbooks-20

Apress, 2011 Over the last two years, Google’s Android operating system (OS) has gone from a virtually unknown open source solution to the current mobile OS market leader among all mobile handsets, with over one-third of the market share, and it’s still climbing rapidly. Android has even started to dominate the tablet OS marketplace, and is also the foundation for the popular iTV OS known as GoogleTV. There seems to be no end in sight for Android’s rocketing success, which is great news for owners of this book. I’ve heard a great many people say, “I have a really phenomenal idea for a smartphone application! Can you program it for me!?” Rather than sit back and code all of these applications for everyone, I thought it might be a smarter idea to write a book about how an absolute beginner could code an Android application using open source tools that cost nothing to download and that are free for commercial use, and then leverage that new found knowledge to reach their dream of making their application idea a revenue-generating reality. Thanks to open source and Google’s Android development environment, Oracle’s Java programming Language, Linus Torvald’s Linux operating system, the Eclipse code editing software, and this book, vaporizing a software product out of thin air, and at no production cost other than your PC and “sweat equity,” is now a complete reality. amazon link:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1430234466/buythisbooks-20
