Working Together to Reduce Harmful Drinking

2011-05-30T14:44:00.000-07:00

Working Together to Reduce Harmful Drinking is intended to contribute to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global strategy to reduce the harmful use of alcohol. It explores areas where alcohol producers’ technical competence can and does make a positive contribution to reducing harmful drinking and where industry input has been welcomed by WHO. The book describes each of these areas: producing beer, wine, and spirits; addressing availability of noncommercial beverages; pricing, marketing, and selling beverage alcohol; encouraging responsible choices; and working with others. The final chapter sets out views of how alcohol producers can contribute to reducing harmful drinking in countries where they are present. The messages recurring throughout the book are that reasonable regulation provides the context for good alcohol policy, excessive regulation often leads to unintended negative consequences, leading producers have a proud record of making positive contributions to implementing effective alcohol policies - but there are opportunities to do much more.

Sams Teach Yourself Visual C# 2010 in 24 Hours is targeted toward the non-.NET programmer who is venturing into .NET

for the first time or an existing .NET programmer trying to learn C#. If you are first learning how to program, this book can help you on your way, but it isn’t intended to be a beginning programming book. The book is designed with the purpose of getting you familiar with how things are done in C# and becoming productive as quickly as possible. I take a different approach in this book by using a more holistic view of the language. I chose this approach to give you the most complete understanding of the C# language by focusing on how the current language features enable you to solve problems.

This book is divided in to five parts, each one focusing on a different aspect of the language. These parts progress from the simple fundamentals to more advanced topics, so I recommend reading them in order:

Part I, “C# Fundamentals,” teaches you about the .NET Framework, the objectoriented programming features of C#, the fundamentals of C# type system, and events.

Part II, “Programming in C#,” teaches you the fundamentals of programming. You learn how to perform loops and work with strings, regular expressions, and collections. Then we move to more advanced topics, such as exception management and generics. Finally, we finish with anonymous functions (lambdas),

query expressions (LINQ), and how to interact with dynamic languages.

.Part III, “Working with Data,” shows how to interact with the file system and streams, create and query XML documents, and work with databases.

Part IV, “Building an Application Using Visual Studio,” starts with an introduction to Visual Studio 2010 and debugging applications. We then build a Windows client application using data binding and validation. Next, you learn how to build an application for the web.

Part V, “Diving Deeper,” introduces the advanced concepts of attribute programming, dynamic types, and language interoperability. You learn the fundamentals of how the .NET Framework organizes memory, how the garbage collector works, and how the .NET Framework provides mechanisms for deterministic finalization. Next, you learn how to use multiple threads and parallel processing. Finally, you look at some of the newer technologies from Microsoft built on the .NET Framework, such as Silverlight, PowerShell, and the Entity Framework.

HTML5 - Up and Running

2010-09-28T16:55:00.000-07:00

What is HTML5? HTML5 is the next generation of HTML, superseding HTML 4.01,

XHTML 1.0, and XHTML 1.1. HTML5 provides new features that are necessary for

modern web applications. It also standardizes many features of the web platform that web developers have been using for years, but that have never been vetted or documented by a standards committee. (Would it surprise you to learn that the Window object has never been formally documented? In addition to the new features, HTML5 is the first attempt to formally document many of the “de facto” standards that web browsers have supported for years.)

Like its predecessors, HTML5 is designed to be cross-platform. You don’t need to be running Windows or Mac OS X or Linux or Multics or any particular operating system in order to take advantage of HTML5. The only thing you do need is a modern web browser. There are modern web browsers available for free for all major operating systems. You may already have a web browser that supports certain HTML5 features. The latest versions of Apple Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Opera all support many HTML5 features. (You’ll find more detailed browser compatibility tables throughout this book.) The mobile web browsers that come preinstalled on iPhones, iPads, and Android phones all have excellent support for HTML5. Even Microsoft has announced that the upcoming Version 9 of Internet Explorer will support some HTML5 functionality.

This book will focus on eight topics:

New semantic elements like
,
, and
(Chapter 3)
Canvas, a two-dimensional drawing surface that you can program with JavaScript (Chapter 4)
Video that you can embed on your web pages without resorting to third-party plugins (Chapter 5)
Geolocation, whereby visitors can choose to share their physical locations with your web application (Chapter 6)
Persistent local storage without resorting to third-party plug-ins (Chapter 7)
Offline web applications that work even after network access is interrupted (Chapter 8)
Improvements to HTML web forms (Chapter 9)
Microdata that lets you create your own vocabularies beyond HTML5 and extend your web pages with custom semantics (Chapter 10)

Book Description

The iPhone and iPod touch have provided all software developers with a level playing field—developers working alone have the same access to consumers as multinational software publishers. Very cool indeed! To make your application stand out from the crowd, though, it has to have that something extra. You must learn the skills to take your apps from being App Store filler to download chart-topping blockbusters.

Developers with years of experience helped write this book. Spend some time understanding their code and why they took the approach they did. You will find the writing, illustrations, code, and sample applications second to none. No matter what type of application you are writing, you will find something in this book to help you make your app that little bit cooler.

The book opens with Wolfgang Ante, the developer behind the Frenzic puzzle game, showing how timers, animation, and intelligence are used to make game play engaging. It moves on to Rogue Amoeba's Mike Ash explaining how to design a network protocol using UDP, and demonstrating its use in a peer-to-peer application—a topic not normally for the faint of heart, but explained here in a way that makes sense to mere mortals. Gary Bennett then covers the important task of multithreading. Multithreading can be used to keep the user interface responsive while working on other tasks in the background. Gary demonstrates how to do this and highlights traps to avoid along the way.

Next up, Canis Lupus (aka Matthew Rosenfeld) describes the development of the Keynote-controlling application Stage Hand, how the user interface has evolved, and the lessons he has learned from that experience. Benjamin Jackson then introduces two open source libraries: cocos2d, for 2D gaming; and Chipmunk, for rigid body physics (think “collisions”). He describes the development of Arcade Hockey, an air hockey game, and explains some of the code used for this.

Neil Mix of Pandora Radio reveals the science behind processing streaming audio. How do you debug what you can't see? Neil guides you through the toughest challenges, sharing his experience of what works and what to watch out for when working with audio. Finally, Steven Peterson demonstrates a comprehensive integration of iPhone technologies. He weaves Core Location, networking, XML, XPath, and SQLite into a solid and very useful application.

Software development can be hard work. Introductory books lay the foundation, but it can be challenging to understand where to go next. This book shows some of the pieces that can be brought together to make complete, cool applications.

Book Description

Are you a programmer looking for a new challenge? Does the thought of building your very own iPhone app make your heart race and your pulse quicken? If so, Beginning iPhone 3 Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK is just the book for you. Updated and revised for iPhone SDK 3, many of the discussions in the original book have been clarified to make some of the more complex topics easier to understand. In addition, all of the projects have been rebuilt from scratch using the SDK 3 templates.

Assuming only a minimal working knowledge of Objective-C, and written in a friendly, easy-to-follow style, this book offers a complete soup-to-nuts course in iPhone and iPod touch programming. The book starts with the basics, walking you through the process of downloading and installing Apple's free iPhone SDK, and then stepping you though the creation of your first simple iPhone application. From there, you'll learn to integrate all the interface elements iPhone users have come to know and love, such as buttons, switches, pickers, toolbars, and sliders. You'll master a variety of design patterns, from the simplest single view to complex hierarchical drill-downs.

You'll also learn how to save and retrieve your data using SQLite, iPhone's built-in database management system. In addition, you'll also learn about Core Data, an important persistence mechanism that has just been added with SDK 3.

And there's much more! You'll learn to draw using Quartz 2D and OpenGL ES, add multitouch gestural support (pinches and swipes) to your applications, and work with the camera, photo library, accelerometer, and built-in GPS. You'll discover the fine points of application preferences and learn how to localize your apps for multiple languages.

Pro ASP NET 4 in C Sharp 2010 will teach you everything you need to master ASP.NET 4. If you’ve programmed with a previous version of ASP.NET, you can focus on new features such as ASP.NET MVC (Chapter 32), ASP.NET Dynamic Data (Chapter 33), and Silverlight (Chapter 34). If you’ve never programmed with ASP.NET, you’ll find that this book provides a well-paced tour that leads you through all the fundamentals, along with a backstage pass that lets you see how the ASP.NET internals really work. The only requirement for this book is that you have a solid understanding of the C# language and the basics of .NET. If you’re a seasoned Java or C++ developer but you’re new to C#, you may find it easier to start with a book about .NET fundamentals, such as Pro C# 2010 and the .NET 4 Platform by Andrew Troelsen (Apress, 2010).

Pro ASP NET 4 in C Sharp 2010 is also relentlessly practical. You won’t learn just about features; you’ll also learn about the real-world techniques that can take your website to the next level. Later chapters are dedicated to cutting-edge topics such as custom controls, dynamic graphics, advanced security, and highperformance data access, all with the goal of giving you everything you need to build professional web applications.

eBook Description

Mark Jenkins’s engrossing history draws on the latest science, anthropological and archaeological research to explore the origins of vampire stories, providing gripping historic and folkloric context for the concept of immortal beings who defy death by feeding on the lifeblood of others. From the earliest whispers of eternal evil in ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome, vampire tales flourished through the centuries and around the globe, fueled by superstition, sexual mystery, fear of disease and death, and the nagging anxiety that demons lurk everywhere.

In Vampire Forensics, Mark Jenkins probes vampire legend to tease out the historical truths enshrined in the tales of terror: sherds of Persian pottery depicting blood-sucking demons; the amazing recent discovery by National Geographic archaeologist Matteo Borrini of a 16th-century Venetian grave of a plague victim and suspected vampire; and the Transylvanian castle of "Vlad the Impaler," whose bloodthirsty cruelty remains unsurpassed.

Jenkins navigates centuries of lore and legend,freebooks4ever.blogspot.com, adding new chapters to the chronicle and weaving an irresistibly seductive blend of superstition, psychology, and science sure to engross everyone from Anne Rice’s countless readers to serious students of archaeology and mythology.

Google Web Toolkit - GWT Java AJAX Programming

2010-09-10T19:47:00.000-07:00

The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) makes it even easier to design an AJAX application using just the Java programming language. It is an open-source Java development framework and its best feature is that we don't have to worry too much about incompatibilities between web browsers and platforms. In GWT, we write the code in Java and then GWT converts it into browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML. This helps a lot, because we can stop worrying about modular programming. It provides a programming framework that is similar to that used by developers building Java applications using one of the GUI toolkits such as Swing, AWT, or SWT. GWT provides all the common user-interface widgets, listeners to react to events happening in the widgets, and ways to combine them into more complex widgets to do things that the GWT team may never have envisioned! Moreover, it makes reusing chunks of program easy. This greatly reduces the number of different technologies that you will need to master. If you know Java, then you can use your favorite IDE (we use Eclipse in this book) to write and debug an AJAX GWT application in Java. Yes, that means you can actually put breakpoints in your code and debug seamlessly from the client side to the server side. You can deploy your applications in any servlet container, create and run unit tests, and essentially develop GWT applications like any Java application. So start reading this book, fire up Eclipse, and enter the wonderful world of AJAX and GWT programming!
