Dive into Swift 4.x, the latest version of Apple's easy-to-use programming language for macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. With this practical guide, you'll quickly get up to speed on language basics and then use Swift to build three complete apps, all tightly linked together: an iOS note-taking app, its OSX counterpart that uses iCloud to sync data, and an app for the Apple Watch that makes the user's data available at a moment's notice. You'll learn not only how to write code in Swift, but also why Swift works the way that it does, and how to build upon its foundations. Then you'll explore Swift in the wider world, including open-source frameworks that your apps can use, how to use app extensions make your app play nice with other apps, and how to take Swift beyond Apple's domain with open-source Swift tools.

Windows XP can be a great tool, but it is all too easy to trip over Windows XP's annoying traits more often than you leverage its productivity. Windows XP power-users troll online resources, documentation, and the expertise (or lucky finds) of friends for valuable tips and tricks--a keyboard shortcut here, an undocumented double-click there--to eliminate annoyances, save time, and take control of their Windows XP. But what if there was an easier way? This new book presents literally hundreds of problems and solutions, amazing power tips, cool tricks, and clever workarounds in one clearly organized, easy to use, and portable resource. Truly insightful and amusing, Windows XP Hints gives Windows XP users practical hints for everything from the desktop to Office programs to the registry, and includes documented (but little-known) tips as well as previously undocumented tricks. Windows XP Hints moves far beyond mere productivity and explores what's possible with Windows XP--including cool things you probably never thought of doing. An understanding of Windows XP basics will get the job done. But discovering the most useful I didn t know that! tips and shortcuts will make using Windows

The LNCS Transactions on Modularity and Composition are devoted to all aspects of software modularity and composition methods, tools, and techniques, covering requirement analysis, design, implementation, maintenance, and evolution. The focus of the journal also includes modelling techniques, new paradigms and languages, development tools, measurement, novel verification and testing approaches, theoretical foundations, and understanding interactions between modularity and composition. This, the first issue of the Transactions on Modularity and Composition, consists of two sections. The first one, guest edited by Patrick Eugster, Mario Sudholt, and Lukasz Ziarek, is entitled "Aspects, Events, and Modularity" and includes papers focusing on context-oriented software development, specifications for even-based systems, and development of modular software. The second section, guest edited by Gary T. Leavens, contains journal versions of selected papers from Modularity 2015, which was held in March 2015, in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. Topics covered by the papers in this section include software unbundling, layer activation in context-oriented programming, modular reasoning in event-based languages, and dynamic dispatch for method contracts using abstract predicates. The paper 'Dynamic Dispatch for Method Contracts Through Abstract Predicates' is published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.

Think from a framework design perspective and move beyond straightforward coding skills. You'll design an enterprise level test framework that is capable of supporting both TDD and BDD at the same time, using the latest open source tools and coding best practices. Taking a less-is-more approach, superfluous information is excised in favor of sleek and direct instruction and focused coding practices. Your framework will be built with Spring-Boot, Gradle, and Junit. And it will support HP QC integration, Allure (TDD, BDD), Extent (BDD), and customized Pdf reporting (TDD, BDD). Extensive utilities are provided, such as HP ALM integration, device management utilities, email reporting, pdf reporting, OCR utility, Log utility, and more! There's also a special chapter on internationalization/localization testing in multiple languages. After reading this book, you'll have full confidence in your ability to build new test automation frameworks for yourself. Though primarily written for software professionals who are in test automation, recent engineering graduates who have programming knowledge and want to prepare for a role in mobile test automation will also find what's taught here helpful. Test engineers and computer science graduates alike can use what they learn here to become absolute pros in test automation.What You'll Learn Design an enterprise level mobile test automation framework capable of supporting both TDD and BDD Work with the latest open source tools and coding best practices Build with Spring-Boot, Gradle, and Junit while supporting HP QC integration, Allure, Extent, and customized PDF reporting Who This Book Is For Software professionals working in test automation.
