Mastering NativeScript helps readers master the NativeScript
framework for faster and more robust mobile app development. Mobile
devices have progressed from a mere means of communication to
becoming a critical business tool in recent years. People are
increasingly glued to their smartphones as technology advances at
breakneck speed. The significance of mobile app development cannot
be overstated. And when it comes to mobile app development,
NativeScript is a hot topic. NativeScript was introduced by
Telerik, and it allows you to develop truly native apps for iOS and
Android under a single code base using JavaScript or TypeScript,
XML, and a subset of CSS. The charm of NativeScript is that it
enables us to code once for multiple platforms (iOS 7.1 and Android
4.1), simultaneously sharing code amongst them while still allowing
developers to add platform-specific instructions with flawless
execution. As a result, you may release an app for both platforms
using a single code base. NativeScript is comprised of three parts:
a JavaScript (JS) virtual machine, a runtime, and a bridge module.
The JS virtual machine is used for interpretation and execution of
JavaScript code. The bridge module then converts the calls to
platform-specific API calls and returns the outcome to the caller.
NativeScript is a very appealing paradigm, and is rising in
popularity as we speak. It can be used to construct practically any
program, including communication apps (news and social networking),
gaming applications (Chess, Tic-Tac-Toe, Pinball), and chat apps.
It can also handle maps and geolocation apps. With Mastering
NativeScript, learning NativeScript becomes straightforward, which
will undoubtedly help readers advance their careers. The Mastering
Computer Science series is edited by Sufyan bin Uzayr, a writer and
educator with over a decade of experience in the computing field.
Communication lies at the heart of Symbian OS and the devices that use it. Symbian OS has a powerful and flexible communications architecture that addresses current state-of-the-art as well as future functionality. This rich environment gives developers access to important technologies such as wireless Bluetooth networks, TCP/IP networking, infrared data transport, email and SMS messaging, and WAP content. Symbian OS Communications Programming is a guide to the Symbian OS communications architecture. It provides developers with authoritative and practical information on the communications models and programming interfaces that are used by Symbian OS, along with illustrative and timely examples. SOCP covers all transport technologies supported by Symbian OS v6.1 including:serial and infrared communication, TCP/IP network support, Bluetooth, and telephony. Examples show how to take advantage of each technology. SOCP also provides coverage of content technologies, such as HTML and WAP, and includes an explanation of the Symbian OS messaging architecture. Examples demonstrate the sending and receiving of email and SMS messages and to show the client/server interaction involved in pushing and pulling content to and from servers. Advanced topic coverage includes the use of the Symbian OS communications database and a review of supported and future synchronization technologies such as SyncML. This guide is designed for developers who have experience of programming in C++ and are interested in taking advantage of the communications possibilities of Symbian OS. No prior experience with communications programming is assumed. Source code for all examples available for download from accompanying website.

What will you learn from this book? Swift is best known as Apple's
programming language of choice for developing apps on iOS, iPadOS,
macOS, watchOS, and tvOS. But it's far more versatile than that.
Open source Swift is also gaining ground as a language for systems
programming and server-side code, and it runs on Linux and Windows.
So where do you start? With Head First Swift, you'll explore from
the ground up: from collecting and controlling data to reusing
code, producing custom data types, and structuring programs and
user interfaces with SwiftUI by building safe, protocol-driven
code. With Swift under your belt, you'll be ready to build
everything from mobile and web apps to games, frameworks,
command-line tools, and beyond. What's so special about this book?
If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect--a
visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you
haven't, you're in for a treat. With this book, you'll learn Swift
through a multisensory experience that engages your mind rather
than a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.
Whether you are a professional new to the user-centered design
field, or an experienced designer who needs to learn the
fundamentals of user interface design and evaluation, this book can
lead the way.
What will you get from this book? Based on a course from the Open
University, UK which has been taught to over a thousand
professionals and students, this book presents an overview of the
field. It illustrates the benefits of a user-centered approach to
the design of software, computer systems, and web sites, and
provides a clear and practical discussion of requirements
gathering; developing interaction design from user requirements;
and user interface evaluation. The book's coverage includes
established HCI topics for example, visibility, affordance,
feedback, metaphors, mental models, and the like combined with
practical guidelines for contemporary designs and current trends,
which makes for a winning combination. You get a clear presentation
of ideas, illustrations of concepts, using real-world applications.
This book will help you develop all the skills necessary for
iterative user-centered design, and provides a firm foundation for
user interface design and evaluation on which to build.
* Co-published by the Open University, UK.
* Covers the design of graphical user interfaces, web sites, and
interfaces for embedded systems.
* Full color production, with activities, projects, hundreds of
illustrations, and industrial applications.
* A supporting web site includes sample exam paper, numerous
activities to practice the concepts learned, and a set of review
questions to test your own learning plus web resources."

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
