iOS Drawing

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 05:56 AM PST

Book Description

Covers iOS 7 and Xcode 5

Apple lavished iOS with a rich and evolving library of resolution-independent 2D drawing utilities. Its APIs include powerful features such as transparency, path-based drawing, anti-aliasing, and more. Harness these low-level, lightweight drawing routines in your apps to build images, to create PDFs, to display views, and to print.

In this guide, Erica Sadun, bestselling author of The Core iOS 6 Developer’s Cookbook and The Advanced iOS 6 Developer’s Cookbook, helps readers explore iOS drawing through an abundance of examples alongside plenty of explanations and tips. This short work provides the basic how-to developers need to get started. You will learn about these specific topics:

  • The basic concepts of Quartz (Core Graphics) and UIKit drawing
  • The coordinate system, paths, masking, and clipping
  • Text drawing
  • Transparency and alpha channels, drawing modes, blending, colors, and spaces
  • Transforms and geometry
  • Patterns, shadows, and gradients
  • Bitmaps and pixels

To access the code samples, visit https://github.com/erica/iOS-Drawing.

Architecting Complex-Event Processing Solutions with TIBCO

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 05:49 AM PST

Book Description

“Complex-event processing is simple in principle but hard to do well in practice. This guide presents the principles and motivations for those new to the subject. More importantly, it details the entire thought-landscape of a complete implementation, using TIBCO products as the background. Well worth the read for anyone who is thinking of implementing a complex-event solution. Those who have already implemented one should read it as well, both for another perspective and for a view of the capabilities of the TIBCO products."
—Lloyd Fischer, Senior Software Architect, WellCare Health Plans

"This complete guide drives you through the specifics of complex-event processing (CEP) design concepts. The book covers all the fundamental aspects and design phases relevant for any TIBCO CEP project implementation, from design through performance-tuning and deployment. I would highly recommend this book to any reader interested in CEP concepts, although a small amount of TIBCO technology knowledge will let you appreciate it more."
—Antonio Bruno, Infrastructure Account Manager, UBS AG

The architecture series from TIBCO® Press comprises a coordinated set of titles for software architects and developers, showing how to combine TIBCO components to design and build real-world solutions.

Complex-event processing is required when multiple events occurring throughout an organization must be sensed, analyzed, prioritized, and acted on in real time. Architecting Complex-Event Processing Solutions with TIBCO® shows how to design and architect complex-event processing systems, addressing all their complexities and achieving maximum efficiency and effectiveness, while delivering superior business value.

After reading this book, you will be able to

  • Identify opportunities for competitive differentiation through complex-event processing
  • Describe differences between complex-event processing and traditional systems
  • Understand relevant capabilities of the TIBCO BusinessEvents™ product suite
  • Select building-block design patterns for constructing complex-event processing solutions with TIBCO BusinessEvents
  • Address architectural aspects of moving solutions into production

A Tour of C++

Posted: 03 Jan 2014 05:44 AM PST

Book Description

The C++11 standard allows programmers to express ideas more clearly, simply, and directly, and to write faster, more efficient code. Bjarne Stroustrup, the designer and original implementer of C++, thoroughly covers the details of this language and its use in his definitive reference, The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition.

In A Tour of C++, Stroustrup excerpts the overview chapters from that complete reference, expanding and enhancing them to give an experienced programmer–in just a few hours–a clear idea of what constitutes modern C++. In this concise, self-contained guide, Stroustrup covers most major language features and the major standard-library components–not, of course, in great depth, but to a level that gives programmers a meaningful overview of the language, some key examples, and practical help in getting started.

Stroustrup presents the C++ features in the context of the programming styles they support, such as object-oriented and generic programming. His tour is remarkably comprehensive. Coverage begins with the basics, then ranges widely through more advanced topics, including many that are new in C++11, such as move semantics, uniform initialization, lambda expressions, improved containers, random numbers, and concurrency. The tour ends with a discussion of the design and evolution of C++ and the extensions added for C++11.

This guide does not aim to teach you how to program (see Stroustrup's Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ for that); nor will it be the only resource you'll need for C++ mastery (see Stroustrup's The C++ Programming Language, Fourth Edition, for that). If, however, you are a C or C++ programmer wanting greater familiarity with the current C++ language, or a programmer versed in another language wishing to gain an accurate picture of the nature and benefits of modern C++, you can't find a shorter or simpler introduction than this tour provides.

Chapter 1. The Basics
Chapter 2. User-Defined Types
Chapter 3. Modularity
Chapter 4. Classes
Chapter 5. Templates
Chapter 6. Library Overview
