For any professional designer or developer working in the world
of web technologies or multimedia, Flash is the must-have
application, and knowing how to use it effectively is vital. Add in
ActionScript 3.0, and Flash becomes an even more powerful tool for
the development of high-performance web applications.
The Essential Guide to Flash CS4 with ActionScript introduces
and explores the possibilities available to you by using Flash CS4.
You will learn the basics of Flash's working environment and, using
a step-by-step approach, work through the features of Flash and
ActionScript needed to quickly achieve results. From navigating the
interface to using graphic tools to write scripts and troubleshoot,
you'll master deploying highly interactive applications with rich
audio, video, and animation.
Written for the beginning-to-intermediate Flash user, this book
uses complete examples that highlight best practices that you can
apply to your daily work as a developer or designer in today's rich
media world.
Well before Ajax and Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation
hit the scene, Macromedia offered the first method for building web
pages with the responsiveness and functionality of desktop programs
with its Flash-based "Rich Internet Applications". Now, new owner
Adobe is taking Flash and its powerful capabilities beyond the Web
and making it a full-fledged development environment. Rather than
focus on theory, the ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook concentrates on the
practical application of ActionScript, with more than 300 solutions
you can use to solve a wide range of common coding dilemmas. You'll
find recipes that show you how to: Detect the user's Flash Player
version or their operating system Build custom classes Format dates
and currency types Work with strings Build user interface
components Work with audio and video Make remote procedure calls
using Flash Remoting and web services Load, send, and search XML
data And much, much more ...Each code recipe presents the Problem,
Solution, and Discussion of how you can use it in other ways or
personalize it for your own needs, and why it works. You can
quickly locate the recipe that most closely matches your situation
and get the solution without reading the whole book to understand
the underlying code. Solutions progress from short recipes for
small problems to more complex scripts for thornier riddles, and
the discussions offer a deeper analysis for resolving similar
issues in the future, along with possible design choices and
ramifications. You'll even learn how to link modular ActionScript
pieces together to create rock-solid solutions for Flex 2 and Flash
applications. When you're not sure how ActionScript 3.0 works or
how to approach a specific programming dilemma, you can simply pick
up the book, flip to the relevant recipe(s), and quickly find the
solution you're looking for. Adobe Developer Library is a
co-publishing partnership between O'Reilly Media and Adobe Systems,
Inc. and is designed to produce the number one information
resources for developers who use Adobe technologies. Created in
2006, the Adobe Developer Library is the official source for
comprehensive learning solutions to help developers create
expressive and interactive web applications that can reach
virtually anyone on any platform. With top-notch books and
innovative online resources covering the latest in rich Internet
application development, the Adobe Developer Library offers expert
training and in-depth resources, straight from the source.
Learn the principles of quantum machine learning and how to apply
them in finance. Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a
free eBook in PDF format. Key Features Discover how to solve
optimisation problems on quantum computers that can provide a
speedup edge over classical methods Use methods of analogue and
digital quantum computing to build powerful generative models
Create the latest algorithms that work on Noisy Intermediate-Scale
Quantum (NISQ) computers Book DescriptionWith recent advances in
quantum computing technology, we finally reached the era of Noisy
Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computing. NISQ-era quantum
computers are powerful enough to test quantum computing algorithms
and solve hard real-world problems faster than classical hardware.
Speedup is so important in financial applications, ranging from
analysing huge amounts of customer data to high frequency trading.
This is where quantum computing can give you the edge. Quantum
Machine Learning and Optimisation in Finance shows you how to
create hybrid quantum-classical machine learning and optimisation
models that can harness the power of NISQ hardware. This book will
take you through the real-world productive applications of quantum
computing. The book explores the main quantum computing algorithms
implementable on existing NISQ devices and highlights a range of
financial applications that can benefit from this new quantum
computing paradigm. This book will help you be one of the first in
the finance industry to use quantum machine learning models to
solve classically hard real-world problems. We may have moved past
the point of quantum computing supremacy, but our quest for
establishing quantum computing advantage has just begun! What you
will learn Train parameterised quantum circuits as generative
models that excel on NISQ hardware Solve hard optimisation problems
Apply quantum boosting to financial applications Learn how the
variational quantum eigensolver and the quantum approximate
optimisation algorithms work Analyse the latest algorithms from
quantum kernels to quantum semidefinite programming Apply quantum
neural networks to credit approvals Who this book is forThis book
is for Quants and developers, data scientists, researchers, and
students in quantitative finance. Although the focus is on
financial use cases, all the methods and techniques are
transferable to other areas.
