Book Description

When you’re under pressure to produce a well designed, easy-to-navigate mobile app, there’s no time to reinvent the wheel. This concise book provides a handy reference to 70 mobile app patterns, illustrated by more than 400 screenshots from current , , , , , and apps.

User experience professional Theresa Neil (Designing Interfaces) walks you through patterns in 10 separate categories, including anti-patterns. Whether you’re designing a simple iPhone application or one that’s meant to work for every popular mobile OS on the market, these patterns provide solutions to common challenges. This print edition is in full color.

Pattern categories include:

  • Navigation: get patterns for primary and secondary navigation
  • Forms: break the industry-wide habits of bad form design
  • Tables and lists: display only the most important information
  • Search, sort, and filter: make these functions easy to use
  • Tools: create the illusion of direct interaction
  • Charts: learn best practices for basic chart design
  • Invitations: invite users to get started and discover features
  • Controls and feedback: help users perform actions, and provide them with timely feedback
  • Help: integrate help pages into a smaller form factor

“It’s a super handy catalog that I can flip to for ideas.”
—Bill Scott, Senior Director of Development at PayPal

“Just a quick thanks to express my sheer gratitude for this pub, it has been a for me reworking a design for an app already in production!”

Book Description

What makes this book different from others on ? Many resources on practice do little to explain the underlying theory, and books on theory are aimed primarily at theoreticians. In this book, renowned expert Chris Date bridges the gap by introducing theory in ways practitioners can understand—drawing on lessons learned over four decades of experience to demonstrate why proper is so critical in the first place.

Every chapter includes a set of exercises that show apply the theoretical ideas in practice, provide additional information, or ask you to prove some simple theoretical result. If you’re a database professional familiar with the relational model, and have more than a passing interest in database , this book is for you.

Questions this book answers include:

  • Why is Heath’s Theorem so important?
  • What is The Principle of Orthogonal Design?
  • What makes some JDs reducible and others irreducible?
  • Why does dependency preservation matter?
  • Should data redundancy always be avoided? Can it be?

Databases often stay in production for decades, and careful design is critical for avoiding subtle errors and processing problems over time. If they’re badly designed, the negative impacts can be incredibly widespread. This gentle introduction shows you use important theoretical results to create good database designs.

Book Description

Device drivers make it possible for your software to communicate with your hardware, and because every operating system has specific requirements, driver writing is nontrivial. When developing for , you’ve probably had to scour the and dig through the kernel sources to figure out write the drivers you need. Thankfully, that stops now. In Device Drivers, Joseph Kong will teach you master everything from the basics of building and running loadable kernel modules to more complicated topics like thread synchronization. After a crash course in the different FreeBSD driver frameworks, extensive tutorial sections dissect real-world drivers like the port driver.

You’ll learn:

  • All about Newbus, the infrastructure used by FreeBSD to manage the hardware devices on your system
  • How to work with ISA, PCI, USB, and other buses
  • The best ways to control and communicate with the hardware devices from user space
  • How to use Direct Memory Access (DMA) for maximum system
  • The inner workings of the virtual null modem terminal driver, the USB driver, the Intel PCI Gigabit Ethernet adapter driver, and other important drivers
  • How to use Common Access Method (CAM) to manage host bus adapters (HBAs)

Concise descriptions and extensive annotations walk you through the many code examples. Don’t waste time searching man pages or digging through the kernel sources to figure out how to make that arcane bit of hardware work with your system. FreeBSD Device Drivers gives you the framework that you need to write any driver you want, now.

Graphic Shaders are used throughout the and movie industry to improve onscreen graphics. They are versatile, doing important tasks like making rendered aliens look realistic, providing the ripples on a background lake or growing fur on the latest Pixar monster. In the world, programmers are often delighted to find that shaders are nothing more than a miniature program that is optimized to run on the computers GPU. This happiness fades when they start exploring the strange model underlying shaders however. Because shaders are strung together in an unusual fashion and run on a massive parallel processer developers shouldn’t use their traditional OO or procedural approach to writing code. Writing effective shaders requires a mind shift regarding craft a useful . To top it off, shaders are written in a unfamiliar -like language. In the world the dominant language is High Level Shader Language or HLSL.
