Advancements in technology have allowed for the creation of new tools and innovations that can improve different aspects of life. These applications can be utilized across different technological platforms. Application Development and Design: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is a comprehensive reference source for the latest scholarly material on trends, techniques, and uses of various technology applications and examines the benefits and challenges of these computational developments. Highlighting a range of pertinent topics such as software design, mobile applications, and web applications, this multi-volume book is ideally designed for researchers, academics, engineers, professionals, students, and practitioners interested in emerging technology applications.

The standards for usability and interaction design for Web sites and software are well known. This full-color book, written by designers with a significant contribution to Web-based application design, delivers both a thorough treatment of the subject for many different kinds of applications and a quick reference for designers looking for some fast design solutions.

The book then details the thought behind CUDA and teaches how to create, analyze, and debug CUDA applications. Throughout, the focus is on software engineering issues: how to use CUDA in the context of existing application code, with existing compilers, languages, software tools, and industry-standard API libraries."--Pub. desc.

Mobile devices outnumber desktop and laptop computers three to one worldwide, yet little information is available for designing and developing mobile applications. Mobile Design and Development fills that void with practical guidelines, standards, techniques, and best practices for building mobile products from start to finish. With this book, you'll learn basic design and development principles for all mobile devices and platforms. You'll also explore the more advanced capabilities of the mobile web, including markup, advanced styling techniques, and mobile Ajax. If you're a web designer, web developer, information architect, product manager, usability professional, content publisher, or an entrepreneur new to the mobile web, Mobile Design and Development provides you with the knowledge you need to work with this rapidly developing technology. Mobile Design and Development will help you: Understand how the mobile ecosystem works, how it differs from other mediums, and how to design products for the mobile context Learn the pros and cons of building native applications sold through operators or app stores versus mobile websites or web apps Work with flows, prototypes, usability practices, and screen-size-independent visual designs Use and test cross-platform mobile web standards for older devices, as well as devices that may be available in the future Learn how to justify a mobile product by building it on a budget

"This book--a renamed new edition of Android Wireless Application Development, Volume II--is the definitive guide to advanced commercial-grade Android development, updated for the latest Android SDK. The book serves as a reference for the Android API."--

Summary Reactive Application Development is a hands-on guide that teaches you how to build reliable enterprise applications using reactive design patterns. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. Foreword by Jonas Bonér, Creator of Akka About the Technology Mission-critical applications have to respond instantly to changes in load, recover gracefully from failure, and satisfy exacting requirements for performance, cost, and reliability. That's no small task! Reactive designs make it easier to meet these demands through modular, message-driven architecture, innovative tooling, and cloud-based infrastructure. About the Book Reactive Application Development teaches you how to build reliable enterprise applications using reactive design patterns. This hands-on guide begins by exposing you to the reactive mental model, along with a survey of core technologies like the Akka actors framework. Then, you'll build a proof-of-concept system in Scala, and learn to use patterns like CQRS and Event Sourcing. You'll master the principles of reactive design as you implement elasticity and resilience, integrate with traditional architectures, and learn powerful testing techniques. What's Inside Designing elastic domain models Building fault-tolerant systems Efficiently handling large data volumes Examples can be built in Scala or Java About the Reader Written for Java or Scala programmers familiar with distributed application designs. About the Author Duncan DeVore, Sean Walsh, and Brian Hanafee are seasoned architects with experience building and deploying reactive systems in production.

Revised edition of first part of: Android wireless application development / Shane Conder, Lauren Darcey. c2010.

Vaughn Vernon presents concrete and realistic domain-driven design (DDD) techniques through examples from familiar domains, such as a Scrum-based project management application that integrates with a collaboration suite and security provider. Each principle is backed up by realistic Java examples, and all content is tied together by a single case study of a company charged with delivering a set of advanced software systems with DDD.

To help students gain the skills for application development, database design, and managing databases, Database Application Development and Design adheres to three guiding principles: (1) Combine concepts and practice. The textbook and the accompanying supplements have been designed to provide close integration between concepts and practice. (2) Emphasize problem-solving skills. This book features problem-solving guidelines to help students master the fundamental skills of data modeling, normalization, query formulation, and application development. (3) Provide introductory and advanced material: Business students who use this book may have a variety of backgrounds. This book provides enough depth to satisfy more advanced courses, but the advanced parts are placed so that they can be skipped by the less inclined.

Spending on worldwide wireless and mobile network infrastructure will rise by $10.7 billion between 2002 and 2007. In this new resource, the authors provide technology-independent principles and practices that no mobile application developer should be without. This book illustrates specific details of mobile technologies and includes mobile application case studies.
