Thanks to jQuery, almost no one remembers the bad old days when developers had to manually manage browser inconsistencies, CSS support, and DOM navigation, and every animation was a frustrating exercise in hand-coded JavaScript. jQuery beautifully manages these concerns, and more, through an elegant, instantly-intuitive library that's become a nearly-universal part of the web. And the latest version of jQuery adds even more features and components to make life as a web developer smooth and productive.   jQuery in Action, Third Edition, is a fast-paced complete guide to jQuery, focused on the tasks faced in nearly any web dev project. Written for readers with minimal JavaScript experience, this revised edition adds new examples and exercises, along with the deep and practical coverage you expect from an "In Action" book. You'll learn how to traverse HTML documents, handle events, perform animations, write plugins, and even unit test your code. The unique lab pages anchor each concept with real-world code. Several new chapters teach you how to interact with other tools and frameworks to build modern single-page web applications.   　 RETAIL SELLING POINTS Complete, up-to-date, fast-paced guide Focuses on tasks faced in nearly any web dev project Revised edition adds new examples and exercises  AUDIENCE Readers need only beginning-level JavaScript knowledge. No prior experience with jQuery is required.  ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY jQuery is a fast and small JavaScript library that makes things like HTML document traversal and manipulation, event handling, animation, and Ajax much simpler than using native methods.

DescriptionFunctional languages help developers support concurrency by encouraging immutable data structures that can be passed between threads without having to worry about a shared state, all while avoiding side effects.  Functional Concurrency in .NET teaches readers how to build concurrent and scalable programs in .NET using the functional paradigm. This intermediate-level guide is aimed at developers, architects, and passionate computer programmers.  Key Features• In-depth explanations• Hands-on examples• Step-by-step instructions  AudienceThis book is for readers with solid knowledge of a mainstream programming language, preferably C# or F#.  About the technologyTo maximize the utilization of the computational resources available, the Microsoft .NET platform provides parallel execution of code through multithreading. By leveraging parallelism, a program can take full advantage of the resources available.  Riccardo Terrell is a .NET seasoned software engineer, senior software architect and Microsoft MVP who is passionate about functional programming.

DESCRIPTION

Cloud services make it easy to get infrastructure in a flexible and ondemand

way. While there are many cloud services to choose from,

Google Cloud Platform offers unique services that let you focus on

building powerful applications.

Google Cloud Services in Action teaches readers to build and launch

web applications that scale while leveraging the Google Cloud

Platform. Readers begin with the basics, learning how cloud services

work, and the specifics of the Google Cloud Platform. The book

includes hands-on step-by-step instruction on deploying applications,

handling large amounts of data, and much more By the end, readers

will know how to build, leverage, and deploy cloud-based applications

so web applications get started more quickly, suffer fewer disasters,

and require less maintenance.

KEY FEATURES

• Hands on code examples

• Lots of useful images

• Written in an approachable way

• Helps readers get their applications deployed quickly

AUDIENCE

Readers will have a working knowledge of application development in a

modern language and an understanding of application architecture. No

knowledge of cloud services required.

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

Put simply, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a collection of products that

allows developers to use Google’s internal infrastructure via a set of APIs.

In other words, GCP is a collection of products and services that help users

solve infrastructure problems "The Google Way".

According to Apple, there are currently 380,000 registered iOS developers and over a billion iOS devices in use worldwide. Swift, the language of iOS development, is the fastest growing programming language.

 

iOS Development with Swift is a hands-on guide to creating apps for iPhone and iPad using the Swift language. It starts by giving a birdseye view of how an iOS application works and what it takes to build one. With the basics well in hand, the book takes readers through progressively more challenging examples as they learn how to design iOS apps, build good layouts, handle navigation, and interact with the device’s camera.

 

Key Features:

·    Hands-on guide to creating apps

·    Teaches the very basics

·    Rich in examples

 

Written for readers with experience using a language like Java, Python, or C#. No prior iOS development or Swift experience required.

 

About the Technology:

Swift is a modern language created by Apple. In 2015 Swift was rated the most loved programming language on Stack Overflow, and it is currently ranked 17 in the programming language rankings guide of January 2016.

With cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, even small teams can take full advantage of web-scale distributed application patterns and practice.

 

Cloud Native: Designing Change-tolerant Software is the best guide to developing strong applications that thrive in the dynamic, distributed, virtual world of the cloud.

 

Key Features

·   The application lifecycle of Cloud Native apps

·   Automated configuration management

·   Multi-tenant services, versioned services, and parallel deploys

·   Understanding Cloud Native Routing

·   Managing dependencies between apps and services

 

Requires intermediate programming skill with Java or a similar language. Some experience with server-side development is helpful.

 

About the technology

Cloud-native software promises near-zero downtime, shortened feedback cycles, multi-device support, and improved cost control. All this means developers need to learn new skills and techniques, along with a new way of thinking about application design.
