By the time youre through, you will have mastered the key Python skills that are needed on the job, including those for object-oriented, database, and GUI programming. To make all of this possible, section 1 presents an 8-chapter course that will get anyone off to a great start with Python. Section 2 builds on that base by presenting the other essential skills that every Python programmer should have. Section 3 shows you how to develop object-oriented programs, a critical skillset in todays world. And section 4 shows you how to apply all of the skills that youve already learned as you build database and GUI programs for the real world.

This text teaches anyone with a basic understanding of Java how to develop Android apps at a professional level. To start, it shows how to use the Eclipse IDE to code, test, and debug a Tip Calculator app for a smartphone or tablet. Then, it expands upon this app to show must-have Android skills such as working with layouts, widgets, events, themes, styles, menus, preferences, and fragments. Next, this book presents two more apps that illustrate Android skills youll use every day, such as working with threads, files, adapters, intents, services, notifications, broadcast receivers, SQLite databases, content providers, and app widgets.

Provides information on using servlets and JavaServer p. to create Web applications that use the MVC pattern.

In the beginning, C++ was a hard language to learn because it required programmers to master low-level techniques to work with memory. Over the years, C++ has evolved to provide higher-level techniques that make it much easier to write effective code. But most C++ books havent evolved with the language. Until now. Now, this book uses modern C++ to get you off to a fast start, and then builds out your coding and OOP skills to the professional level. At that point, it also covers older techniques so youll be able to maintain the vast amount of legacy code thats out there, as well as work with embedded systems that dont support the newer techniques.
