Many companies are facing problems with Windows development using traditional Windows tools such as Visual Studio. When they write applications, even just "single platform" applications for Windows, they often have to account for differences between different Windows versions, which adds hassle to development and maintenance. Qt works no matter the Windows versions. This book provides all the information needed to become a professional Qt developer. The book also covers cross platform GUI programming--programmers can be working on Windows, Linux, or Mac and the book will work for them. This is useful for commercial companies that use Qt, and for companies that are evaluating Qt. It will also be valuable to the vast number of open source developers who already use Qt since no other book of comparable quality or comprehensiveness is available. This book teaches Qt's idioms and how to use Qt to best advantage. The book is organized into four parts. The first part introduces the C++ necessary for the effective use of Qt. The second part covers basic Qt, starting with some very short examples, and quickly building up to a complete Graphical User Interface program.The second part provides coverage of key Qt features including signals.

This book addresses the need for interfaces, or bridges, between the multiple popular programming languages. With the development of the advanced computer controls and applications, the single programming language sometimes has a limitation for today's complicated projects. Programmers will frequently be working with multiple programming languages at a time and, currently, do not have a "bridge" language to tie things together. They spend countless work hours either converting code or working simultaneously on 2 (or more) different languages at once. To solve this problem and to utilize the advantages of multiple languages, an interface is needed to set a bridge between the different languages. The programming languages covered in this book include: C/C++ and Visual C++ 6.0, Visual Basic 6.0, Java 1.2 and 1.3, Perl, LabView, LabWindows/CVI and Measurement Studio, Matlab, Matlab C/C++ Math library, Matlab compiler and Matlab Graphic library, and SmallTalk. Practical and hands-on programming examples are provided with each project in the book. All program examples, which are stored in the attached CD-ROM, have been tested, debugged and applied in the actual projects. Readers can easily select the examples to suit their special needs.

This friendly, solutions-oriented guide is filled with step-by-step examples that illustrate how to write basic to advanced javascript applications, as well as modify existing scripts to suit individual needs.

Good design sells products and invites users to return. Design Concepts with Code: An Approach for Developers understands developers aren't particularly interested in learning graphics applications or reading a treatise on design. The book offers clear and concise design concepts, examples, and projects to support developer proficiency with design in a short period of time. Great developers often create products that work well, look bad, and never reach their potential audience. Developers can design prototypes and products by considering and implementing a reasonable set of design axioms that hold their strength over time.
In Design Concepts with Code: An Approach for Developers, design concepts including interface design, design principles, design elements, layout, content and typography, and color are presented with code including XML, XHTML/CSS, SVG, XSLT, XSL-FO, and scripting languages. This text offers design concepts, examples, projects, and code (no apps) to quickly enhance client and user interpretation and appreciation of web-based products.

"Network programming"--the term had a distinct meaning once, but now it begs the question, "Is there another kind?" That's why Lincoln Stein's Network Programming with Perl is valuable. It shows how one of the world's top Perl authorities brings the language to bear on problems that require communication among computers, showing that you may not have to resort to Java as soon as you may have thought to meet a networking requirement. What's more, Stein doesn't assume you have a lot of Perl expertise. An intermediate-level familiarity with the language should enable you to understand the examples in the book and follow its classic code-and-commentary structure.
Stein presents full, working scripts, calling attention to particularly interesting lines and passages by repeating them in the text. If a program makes use of an unusual or previously undiscussed function (and lots of them do, because one of the author's missions is to introduce the contents of specialized libraries), its syntax and legal parameters will be documented and a concise statement of its behavior provided. The example programs are the best part of this book, though. As the problems get more complicated, it's fun to watch Stein solve them with efficient, attractive code. Unless you're a really experienced professional, you'll be able to study the examples in this book and learn a lot.

Stewart's CALCULUS, FOURTH EDITION reflects the same old-world dedication to excellence that characterized the first three editions. It has been revised with dedication, precision, and patient care to further emphasize conceptual understanding.
A phenomenon of the Stewart success is the texts' use in such a wide variety of colleges and universities throughout the world. Just as he teaches to every student in his classes from the most unprepared to the most mathematically gifted, Stewart writes to a range of students - adding the explanations that make ideas come alive as well as the problems that challenge. Stewart's heuristic examples reveal calculus to students. His examples stand out because they are not just models for problem solving or a means of demonstrating techniques - they also encourage students to develop an analytic view of the subject.

This book covers the ObjectMap, Entity, and Query APIs for interacting with objects in the grid. It shows client/server configurations and interactions, as well as the powerful DataGrid API.
