Developing Modern Mobile Web Apps patterns and practices

Developing Modern Mobile Web Apps patterns & practices

Authors	Year	Pages	Publisher	Dimensions, inch.	File type	Size, Mb	First 20 pages
Microsoft Corporation	2012	112	Microsoft Press	7.51х9.96	PDF	12	First 20 pages

Book Description

This book provides guidance on building mobile web experiences using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. It is a patterns & practices guide.

Developing web apps for mobile browsers can be less forgiving than developing for desktop browsers. There are issues of screen size, the availability of specific feature support, and other differences between mobile browsers that will impact how you develop your apps. In addition, there are various levels of support for the emerging standards of HTML5 and CSS3, and standards for some features, such as touch, are just beginning to take shape. All of these factors suggest that it is best to keep your HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as simple as you can in order to ensure compatibility with as many devices as possible. This guide illustrates how to do this, as well as how to add more advanced functionality where supported.

Godfrey Nolan	2012	296	Apress; 1 edition	7.5х11	PDF	5	First 20 pages

Book Description
Decompiling Android looks at the the reason why Android apps can be decompiled to recover their source code, what it means to Android developers and how you can protect your code from prying eyes. This is also a good way to see how good and bad Android apps are constructed and how to learn from them in building your own apps.

This is becoming an increasingly important topic as the Android marketplace grows and developers are unwittingly releasing the apps with lots of back doors allowing people to potentially obtain credit card information and database logins to back-end systems, as they don’t realize how easy it is to decompile their Android code.

In depth examination of the Java and Android class file structures
Tools and techniques for decompiling Android apps
Tools and techniques for protecting your Android apps

What you’ll learn

How to download an Android app and decompile it into its original Java source and HTML5 and CSS code
How to protect your Android apps so that others cannot decompile it
To identify potential security threats that currently exist and how to avoid them

The structure of a Java Classfile and an Android classfile
How the standard JVM and the Dalvik JVM differ

Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java (3rd Edition)

Authors	Year	Pages	Publisher	Dimensions, inch.	File type	Size, Mb	First 20 pages
Mark A. Weiss	2011	636	Addison Wesley; 3rd Edition	7.02х9.06	PDF	5	First 20 pages

Book Description
Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in Java is an “advanced algorithms” book that fits between traditional CS2 and Algorithms Analysis courses. In the old ACM Curriculum Guidelines, this course was known as CS7. This text is for readers who want to learn good programming and algorithm analysis skills simultaneously so that they can develop such programs with the maximum amount of efficiency. Readers should have some knowledge of intermediate programming, including topics as object-based programming and recursion, and some background in discrete math.

As the speed and power of computers increases, so does the need for effective programming and algorithm analysis. By approaching these skills in tandem, Mark Allen Weiss teaches readers to develop well-constructed, maximally efficient programs in Java.

Weiss clearly explains topics from binary heaps to sorting to NP-completeness, and dedicates a full chapter to amortized analysis and advanced data structures and their implementation. Figures and examples illustrating successive stages of algorithms contribute to Weiss’ careful, rigorous and in-depth analysis of each type of algorithm. A logical organization of topics and full access to source code complement the text’s coverage.

Computer Network Time Synchronization: The Network Time Protocol on Earth and in Space, Second Edition

Authors	Year	Pages	Publisher	Dimensions, inch.	File type	Size, Mb	First 20 pages
David L. Mills	2010	438	CRC Press; 2 edition	6х9.25	PDF	6	First 20 pages

Book Description
Carefully coordinated, reliable, and accurate time synchronization is vital to a wide spectrum of fields—from air and ground traffic control, to buying and selling goods and services, to TV network programming. Ill-gotten time could even lead to the unimaginable and cause DNS caches to expire, leaving the entire Internet to implode on the root servers.

Written by the original developer of the Network Time Protocol (NTP), Computer Network Time Synchronization: The Network Time Protocol on Earth and in Space, Second Edition addresses the technological infrastructure of time dissemination, distribution, and synchronization—specifically the architecture, protocols, and algorithms of the NTP. This system has been active in one form or another for almost three decades on the Internet and numerous private networks on the nether side of firewalls. Just about everything today that can be connected to a network wire has support for NTP.

This book:

Describes the principal components of an NTP client and how it works with redundant servers and diverse network paths
Provides an in-depth description of cryptographic and other critical algorithms
Presents an overview of the engineering principles guiding network configuration

Evaluating historic events that have taken place since computer network timekeeping started almost three decades ago, the author details a number of systems and drivers for current radio, satellites, and telephone modem dissemination and explains how we reckon the time, according to the stars and atoms. The original 16 chapters of the first edition have been rewritten, updated, and enhanced with new material. Four new chapters cover new algorithms and previously uncovered concepts, including timekeeping in space missions.

Praise for the first edition:

"… For those that need an exhaustive tome on all of the minutiae related to NTP and synchronization, this is the source. … definitive … this book should be considered the last word on the topic."
—Ben Rothke on Slashdot.org

"… the bible of the subject… contains enough information to take you just as far as you want to go….Dr. Mills is the original developer of NTP."
