Book DescriptionThe Learning Play! Framework 2 has been created for web developers that are building web applications. The core idea is to focus on the HTTP features and to enable them through a simplification lens. Building a web application no longer requires a configuration phase, an environment setup, or a long development lifecycle – it’s integrated! Learning Play! Framework 2 will enable any web developers to create amazing web applications taking advantage of the coolest features. It’s the fastest way to dive into Play!, focusing on the capabilities by using them in a sample application. Although essentially Java based code, a Scala version is presented as well – giving an opportunity to see some Scala in action. After setting up the machine and learning some Scala, you will construct an application which builds from static to dynamic, before introducing a database. Then we’ll focus on how data can be consumed and rendered in several ways. This will enable some real time communication through WebSocket and Server-Sent Event – on both server and client sides. The book will end with testing and deployment, which completes any web development project. What you will learn from this book

Book DescriptionMoai SDK is a fast, minimalist, open-source Lua mobile framework for pro game developers. Moai is built around Lua, a common programming language for games, and offers a single open-source platform for both the front-end elements seen by consumers and the back-end infrastructure. Developing Mobile Games with Moai SDK will guide you through the creation of two game prototypes in a step-by-step way, giving you the basic tools you need in order to create your own games. Developing Mobile Games with Moai SDK introduces the basic concepts behind game development, and takes you through the development of a tile-based memotest, and a platform game prototype as well. You’ll end up with a good codebase to start writing your own games. You will learn some tricks that come from real life experience while creating a small framework that will allow you to display images, play sounds, grab input, and so on. You’ll also learn how to implement physics using Box2D bindings, and everything in Lua, without having to use any compilations. After doing this, we’ll take a look at how to deploy your game to iOS and run it on an iPhone. With this book, you should be ready to go and create your own game, release it to the Apple Store, and have enough tools to dig deeper into Moai SDK. What you will learn from this book

Book DescriptionAutomating tests for your user interfaces has always been the holy grail of programming. Now, using Zombie.js and Mocha you can create and quickly run your tests, allowing you to test even small changes. Increase your confidence in the code and minimize the number of times you have to use a real browser while you develop. “Using Node.js for UI Testing” is a quick and thorough guide on how to automatically test your web app, keeping it rock solid and bug-free. You will learn how to simulate complex user behaviour and verify that your application behaves correctly. You will create a web app in Node.js that uses complex user interactions and AJAX; by the end you will be able to fully test it from the command-line. Then you will start creating the user interface tests for this application using Mocha as a framework and Zombie.js as a headless browser. You will also create a complete test suite, module by module, testing simple and complex user interactions. What you will learn from this book

Book DescriptionUsers expect software to be highly intelligent when searching data. Searches should span across multiple data points at once, and be able to spot patterns and groupings in the results found. Searches should be able to fix user typos, and use terms related to the user's search words. Searching is at its best when it pleasantly surprises us, seeming to understand the real gist of what we're looking for better than we understood it ourselves! Where can we find such a search system and how can we use it efficiently? Hibernate Search by Example is a practical, step-by-step tutorial, which guides you from the basics of Hibernate Search to its advanced features. The book builds toward a complete sample application, slowly fleshed out to demonstrate each and every concept being introduced in each chapter. By the end you will have a solid foundation for using Hibernate Search in real production applications. This book starts with a simple example, and incrementally builds upon it to showcase each Hibernate Search feature introduced. By the end of the book you will have a working, functionality-rich application, and a deeper understanding than you might have had from looking at code snippets in a vacuum. You will learn how to integrate search into core Hibernate applications, whether they are XML or annotation-based, or if you are using JPA. You will see how to fine-tune the relevance of search results, and design searches that can account for user typos or automatically reach for related terms. We will take advantage of performance optimization strategies, from running Hibernate Search in a cluster to reducing the need for database access at all. Hibernate Search by Example provides everything you need to know to incorporate search functionality into your own custom applications. What you will learn from this book
