Pro HTML5Accessibility helps designers come to grips with building exciting, accessible and usable web sites and applications with HTML5. The book covers how to use HTML5 in order to serve the needs of people with disabilities and older persons using assistive technology (AT). It aims to be a useful go-to' guide, providing practical advice. It takes several approaches, including a look at the new semantics of HTML5 and how to combine its use with authoring practices you know from using earlier versions of HTML. It also demonstrates how HTML5 content is currently supported (or not) by assistive technologies such as screen readers, and what this means practically for accessibility in your web projects. The HTML5 specification is huge, with new APIs and patterns that can be difficult to understand. Accessibility can also seem complex and nuanced if you have no experience interacting with people with disabilities. This book walks you though the process of designing exciting user interfaces that can potentially be used by everyone, regardless of ability. Accessibility is really a quality design issue, and getting it right is often more a matter of approach than having sophisticated, cutting-edge tools at your disposal. This book will be your companion in your journey to understand both HTML5 and accessibility, as the author has many years of experience as a designer and web developer working directly with people with all types of disabilities. He has been involved with the development of HTML5 from an accessibility perspective for many years, as a member of the W3C WAI Protocols and Formats working group (which is responsible for ensuring W3C specifications are serving the needs of people with disabilities) as well as the HTML5 Working Group itself.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a hot topic! Analysts call it a disruptive technology. Competing standards and technologies pop up daily, and there are no tangible signs of a single protocol that will let all devices, services, and applications communicate seamlessly. Fortunately, there's a great universal IoT application platform available now: the World Wide Web. Web standards and tools provide the ideal substrate for connected devices and applications to exchange data. This vision is called the Web of Things. Building the Web of Things is a hands-on guide for designing and implementing scalable, flexible, and open IoT solutions using Web technologies. This book provides the right balance of theory, code samples, and practical examples, and shows how to connect all sorts of devices to the Web and expose their services and data over REST APIs. After building a simple proof of concept app, readers will learn a systematic methodology and system architecture for connecting things to the Web, finding other things, sharing data, and combining these components to rapidly build distributed applications and physical mashups. With each chapter, readers gain the knowledge and skills needed to take full advantage of a new generation of real-time, web-connected devices and services, giving them the ability to build scalable applications that merge the physical and digital worlds. KEY FEATURES Gets readers started with the Web of Things in minutes Offers a complete toolbox of Web and Internet technologies Hands-on guide for using the web to connect apps to the real world ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY The Web of Things is about using the latest Web technologies as the underlying application-level protocol for the Internet of Things (IoT). While the Internet of Things mainly focuses on the networking side of how to connect things, the Web of Things focuses on the application layer, i.e., how things can expose and share their data and services so that they can easily be consumed by Web applications.

If you've mastered Python's fundamentals, you're ready to start using it to get real work done. "Programming Python" will show you how, with in-depth tutorials on the language's primary application domains: system administration, GUIs, and the Web.

The move from socalled heavyweight architectures, such as Enterprise JavaBeans, toward lightweight frameworks, like Spring, has not stopped since Pro Spring was published by Rob Harrop and Jan Machacek in 2005; in fact, it's picked up pace. The Spring Framework remains the leader in this move and provides a platform on which you can build your own applications and services.

Pro Spring 2.5 covers the new features of Spring 2.5, but moreover, it is focused on the best practices and core standards of contemporary Spring development. As members of the Spring development team at Cake Solutions, the author team brings extensive practical experience gained from working with Spring since version 1.0 and delivering successful systems on top of it.

Learn the approaches that really matter in a professional, enterpriselevel environment, so you can apply them to your projects today, safe in the knowledge that they just work. What you'll learn Discover how to use Spring's Inversion of Control (IoC)Explore Spring's excellent aspectoriented programming (AOP) support, including Spring 2.5's new @AspectJ featureFind out how to use Spring's dynamic scripting language features, Spring design patterns, and performance tuning in Spring applicationsLearn what really works in realworld Spring developmentUnderstand Spring's support for the JDBC framework, Hibernate, the Quartz enterprise scheduler, declarative transaction management, and much moreMaster Spring's welldesigned MVC framework and add AJAX to your Spring web applications to create flexible, efficient, and manageable applications using the best techniques available Who this book is for
