Use Raspberry Pi with Java to create innovative devices that power the internet of things!

Raspberry Pi with Java: Programming the Internet of Things (IoT) fills an important gap in knowledge between seasoned Java developers and embedded-hardware gurus, taking a project-based approach to skills development from which both hobbyists and professionals can learn. By starting with simple projects based on open-source libraries such as Pi4J, hobbyists can get immediate results without a significant investment in time or hardware.

Later projects target simplified industrial use cases where professionals can start to apply their skills to practical problems in the fields of home automation, healthcare, and robotics. This progression prepares you to be an active participant in the IoT revolution that is reshaping our lives.

For the hobbyist:

Hardware used in projects is affordable and easily accessibleFollows a project-based learning approach with a gradual learning curveProjects are based on open-source code repositories with commercial friendly licenses

For the professional computer engineer:

Uses an industry-standard platform that allows for high performance, secure, production-ready applicationsIntroduces Java SE Embedded for large devices and Java ME Embedded for small devicesCode is portable to a wide variety of ARM and MIPS based platformsProvides practical skill development with advanced projects in the fields of home automation, healthcare, and robotics

JavaFX is essentially Sun's approach to Adobe Flash/Flex and Microsoft's Silverlight. Pro JavaFX(TM) Platform examines this important Rich Internet Application (RIA) technology.

In Pro JavaFX 2: A Definitive Guide to Rich Clients with Java Technology, Jim Weaver, Weiqi Gao, Stephen Chin, Dean Iverson, and Johan Vos show you how you can use the JavaFX platform to create rich-client Java applications. You'll see how JavaFX provides a powerful Java-based UI platform capable of handling large-scale data-driven business applications. Covering the JavaFX API, development tools, and best practices, this book provides code examples that explore the exciting new features provided with JavaFX 2. It contains engaging tutorials that cover virtually every facet of JavaFX development and reference materials on JavaFX that augment the JavaFX API documentation. Written in an engaging and friendly style, Pro JavaFX 2 is an essential guide to JavaFX 2. What you'll learn * How to get started with JavaFX 2, including downloading the SDK and available tools. * How to express user interfaces with a declarative-style enabled by the JavaFX builder classes. * How to use property binding to keep the UI easily in sync with the model. * How to use the rich set of JavaFX UI controls, charts, shapes, effects, transformations, and animations to create stunning, responsive, user interfaces. * How to use the powerful JavaFX layout classes to define the user interface in a cross-platform fashion. * How to leverage the observable collection classes to observe changes in, and bind to, Java collections. * How to use the JavaFX media classes to play audio and video. * How to interact with external application services to create an enterprise application with JavaFX. * How to use the JavaFX API with alternative languages such as Scala, Groovy, and Visage. * How to uncover the JavaFX APIs to whatever degree you choose. The tutorials, reference materials, and pointers to resources are exhaustive. Who this book is for Application developers, graphic designers, and IT decision makers. Not only does this book contain comprehensive technical information for developers and designers, it builds a compelling case for choosing JavaFX for web applications and RIAs.

Use the JavaFX platform to create rich-client Java applications and discover how you can use this powerful Java-based UI platform, which is capable of handling large-scale data-driven business applications for PC as well as mobile and embedded devices. The expert authors cover the new more modular JavaFX 9 APIs, development tools, and best practices and provide code examples that explore the exciting new features provided with JavaFX 9, part of Oracle's new Java 9 release. Pro JavaFX 9: A Definitive Guide to Building Desktop, Mobile, and Embedded Java Clients also contains engaging tutorials that cover virtually every facet of JavaFX development and reference materials on JavaFX that augment the JavaFX API documentation.What You'll LearnCreate a user interface in JavaFX Use SceneBuilder to create a user interfaceBuild dynamic UI layouts in JavaFX and using the JavaFX UI controlsCreate charts in JavaFXLeverage JavaFX languages and markup Who This Book Is ForExperienced Java programmers looking to learn and leverage JavaFX 9 for rich client-side Java development.

This book is aimed at programmers who have learned the basics of Java from, for example, Beginning Java 1. 4: From Novice to Professional, and are now ready to learn how to use Java in the real world, with J2EE. But, J2EE is a big spec, and the target audience is not interested in Enterprise JavaBeans and other advanced specs within J2EE. In fact, 75 per cent of J2EE applications are built using only JavaServer Pages and Servlets (two of the simpler technologies to learn in J2EE), so these are the areas that the audience is particularly interested in.

Sun's new lightweight Java Enterprise Edition (EE) 5 is an extremely powerful platform for developing enterprise-level Java-based applications, primarily for the server.

JavaFX Script makes it easy for developers to quickly create high-quality user interface-intensive applications very quickly. As JavaFX Script: Dynamic Java Scripting for Rich Internet/Client-side Applications demonstrates, developers can create rich Internet applications and rich client-side user interfaces quickly and easily with this potential replacement for Ajax and perhaps even ActionScript and other scripting found in Flash. This firstPress book on JavaFX Scriptcovers the following topics:The fundamentals of the JavaFX suite of technologies and the foundations of JavaFX Script and available tools How to create a Wordsearch application How to augment and enhance the Wordsearch application after learning more advanced JavaFX Script features such as classes, objects, user interface components, and constructs

This book addresses the presentation of the Shīʿa in the extant theological-doxographical literature of Iraq up to the early fourth century of Islam. Understanding doxographies primarily as textual products of third-century kalām circles, it provides historians with a more thorough account of the likely provenance and transmission of this important body of source material, as well as of the particular images of the early Shīʿa it constructs.
