React is a highly-performant tool that implements a one-way data flow model. Reasoning about an interface or application written with React ends up being much easier because it decreases overall complexity for developers working with it. React in Action introduces front-end developers to the React framework and related tools. Readers will work their way from "raw" React towards JSX, and from basic static components to ones that are dynamic and interactive. Key Features: * Clearly written * Example-rich * Hands-on Written for developers familiar with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript who want to create more robust front-end applications. About the Technology: React is an open source JavaScript framework that lets developers quickly create user interfaces for web applications.

Your essential comparative approach to learning C++ and Java

Programming with Objects: A Comparative Presentation of Object-Oriented Programming with C++ and Java, a comparative presentation of object-oriented programming with two of the most popular programming languages of today, teaches vital skills and techniques for the Internet age. Based on highly successful courses taught by the author, this book answers the need for a comprehensive educational program on the subject of object-oriented programming. In a clear and accessible format, the author compares and contrasts both languages, from basic language constructs to how both languages are used in application-level programming, such as graphics programming, network programming, and database programming.

Since both C++ and Java were born out of the same language, C, learning these two languages together has several distinct advantages:

• Because they have much in common at the level of basic language structures, learning C++ and Java together saves time and facilitates the mastery of each
• Learning by contrast and comparison can be more efficient and enjoyable, allowing readers access to the strengths and weaknesses of both languages
• Learning to write a program in one language that corresponds to a given program in the other language enables students to tackle more difficult projects in either language
• Comparing similar concepts in the two languages leads to a deeper understanding of the concepts in both

Roughly the first half of the text is devoted to basic language issues. More advanced topics are detailed in the second half, including programming of graphical user interfaces, multithreading, network programming, and database programming.

Designed as a text for educational programs in advanced programming and as a reference for professionals implementing Web- and Internet-based applications, Programming with Objects: A Comparative Presentation of Object-Oriented Programming with C++ and Java is also recommended for programmers familiar with either language who wish to expand their programming skills.

Learning Wireless Java is for Java developers who want to create applications for the Micro Edition audience using the Connected, Limited Device Configuration and the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP).

For years now, web developers have used powerful application servers like PHP and Node that could create our web apps. But recently there's been a shift between how much we can do on an application server versus how much we can do on the browser itself-as well as what we can do on a mobile app. This practical book shows readers how static site generators provide a powerful middle ground between a full app server deployment and a simple collection of static files. Written by two leading developers in the JavaScript community, this book teaches front-end designers, front-end developers, web developers, and web designers how static site generators work, the benefits you can expect, and what options are available. You'll learn how to deliver static site files to the end user exactly as they are on the server, without using a server-side language or a database, using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Static websites today are just like vinyl LPs: they're coming back. With this book, you'll discover just how these websites still fulfill a vital need for bloggers as well as people who just want to disseminate information.
