Learn Android App Development

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:48 AM PDT

Book Description

Learn Android App Development is a hands-on tutorial and useful reference. You’ll quickly get up to speed and master the Android SDK and the Java that you need for your Android Apps.

The Android SDK offers powerful features, and this book is the fastest path to mastering them—and the rest of the Andorid SDK—for programmers with some experience who are new to Android smartphone and tablet apps development. Many books introduce the Android SDK, but very few explain how to develop apps optimally. This book teaches both core Java language concepts and how to wisely but rapidly employ the design patterns and logic using the Android SDK, which is based on Java APIs.

You’ll also learn best practices that ensure your code will be efficient and perform well.

  • Get an accelerated but complete enough treatment of the fundamentals of Java necessary to get you started.
  • Design your first app using prototyping and other design methods.
  • Build your first Android app using the code given over the course of the book.
  • Finally, debug and distribute your first app on Google Play or other Android app store.

After reading this book, you’ll have your first app ready and on the app store, earning you the prestige and the money you seek.

What you'll learn

  • How to get a quick start to learning Android to build your first Android app
  • How the Android development process works and what is the usual workflow
  • How to design an Android app User Interface (UI)
  • How to add interactivity and functionality to your Android apps

Who this book is for
This book is for those who have some programming experience but who are new to the Android mobile platform. This book is ideal for those who may be coming from iOS programming/development to learn about this other most popular mobile platform, Android.

Learn Cocoa on the Mac, 2nd Edition

Posted: 19 Jun 2013 08:41 AM PDT

Book Description

The Cocoa frameworks are some of the most powerful for creating native OS X apps available today. However, for a first-time Mac developer, just firing up Xcode 4 and starting to browse the documentation can be a daunting and frustrating task. The Objective-C class reference documentation alone would fill thousands of printed pages, not to mention all the other tutorials and guides included with Xcode. Where do you start? Which classes are you going to need to use? How do you use Xcode and the rest of the tools?

Learn Cocoa for the Mac, Second Edition, completely revised for OS X Mountain Lion and XCode 4, answers these questions and more, helping you find your way through the jungle of classes, tools, and new concepts so that you can get started on the next great OS X app today. Jack Nutting and Peter Clark are your guides through this forest; Jack and Peter have lived here for years, and will show you which boulder to push, which vine to chop, and which stream to float across in order to make it through. You will learn not only how to use the components of this rich framework, but also which of them fit together, and why.

Jack Nutting's approach, combining pragmatic problem-solving with a deep respect for the underlying design philosophies contained within Cocoa, stems from years of experience using these frameworks. Peter Clark will show you which parts of your app require you to jump in and code a solution, and which parts are best served by letting Cocoa take you where it wants you to go. The path over what looks like a mountain of components and APIs has never been more thoroughly prepared for your travels. In each chapter, you'll build an app that explores one or more areas of the Cocoa landscape. With Jack's and Peter’s guidance, the steep learning curve becomes a pleasurable adventure. There is still much work for the uninitiated, but by the time you're done, you will be well on your way to becoming a Cocoa master.

What you'll learn

  • How to effectively use Xcode to make your own Cocoa applications—this is much more than just a quick introduction to Cocoa!
  • How to best use MVC architecture concepts in a Cocoa application
  • Which classes, of the dozens included in Cocoa, are truly central to Cocoa development.
  • How the various pieces of the Cocoa frameworks fit with each other and into the MVC architecture
  • Which parts of Cocoa truly enable "visual programming", letting you reap the benefits of proven, reusable code libraries that Apple gives you for free
  • How to recognize recurring design patterns used throughout Cocoa, such as delegation and key-value coding, and put them to proper use in your own code
  • Where some of the deeper technologies, like Core Data and Cocoa bindings, fit into your app
  • How to use the facilities provided in OS X to create software that distributes itself automatically among all available CPUs, improving the user experience for your users.
  • How to approach Cocoa from different programming environments

Who this book is for
Anyone with a basic understanding of object-oriented programming who wants to try out OS X app programming, as well as iPhone developers who want to extend their knowledge of Cocoa touch to include the Mac-specific technologies included with Cocoa.
