HTML5 makes the Web a first-class environment for creating real applications. It reinforces JavaScript’s existing tool set with key extensions to the browser APIs that make it easier to create applications that feel (and can be) complete in themselves, not just views on some distant server process. The Web began as a way to share files, stored on a web server, that changed only occasionally. …
Chapters 1 and 2 introduce you to the Mac OS X environment, providing a foundation for understanding the origins of the operating system, how it is structured, and what components it contains.

Programming Fundamentals - A Modular Structured Approach using C++ is written by Kenneth Leroy Busbee, a faculty member at Houston Community College in Houston, Texas. The materials used in this textbook/collection were developed by the author and others as independent modules for publication within the Connexions environment. Programming fundamentals are often divided into three college course…
Programming is making the computer do whatever we want it to do. And program (or software) is the name given to a series of computer code to complete a specific task. Sometimes the procedure of writing a program is also named as solving a problem because all programs are written to do a specific task, in other words to solve a problem you faced in real world. Because of the hardware design, com…
Programming languages matter. They affect the reliability, security, and efficiency of the code you write, as well as how easy it is to read, refactor, and extend. The languages you know can also change how you think, influencing the way you design software even when you’re not using them. We wrote this book because we believe in the importance of programming languages, and that OCaml in part…
the Shell iS the Standard interface to every Unix and Linux system; users and administrators alike have experience with the shell, and combining commands into shell scripts is a natural pro- gression. However, that is only the tip of the iceberg. The shell is actually a full programming language, with variables and functions, and also more advanced structures such as arrays (including associati…
The beauty and success of Twitter lies in its simplicity.It’s simple not just for its users but also within its rich application programming interface (API),which provides you the tools required to interact with Twitter’s internal services.The Twitter API is responsible for more than 90% of Twitter server traffic and provides the gateway to much of Twitter’s core functionality,such as sta…
In this book, I describe the Linux programming interface-the system calls, library functions, and other low-level interfaces are used, directly or indirectly, by every program that runs on Linux.
With the invention of the steamship and the opening of the Suez Canal, the time was reduced to a month or two. Air mail reduced the time further to a week or two, and eventually to a few days (“when it absolutely, positively has to be there overnight”). The deployment of commercial email systems introduced us to wait times of only a few minutes (depending on how often you polled your server…
Information security management is a challenging topic, due to the dif fi culty of exhaustively modeling attackers for an entire system and the threats they cause to it. The idea of security standards and their respective certi fi cation schemes is an excellent one. Companies can use a security analysis process in a standard and establish a security product, e.g., a secure software or a p…
Welcome to PhoneGap social app development. Social networking has changed the way we share information in our world. Where it used to be an e-mail to a friend (or even a letter!), now it's a tweet or a Facebook post, often for the world to see. What's even more amazing is how relatively young the various social networks are and how quickly they have changed the way we communicate and consume in…
The Bourne Again SHell (bash) is arguably one of the most important pieces of software in existence. Without bash shell's many utilities and the problem-solving potential it gives its users by integrating and interfacing system utilities in a programmable way (called bash scripting), many of the very important security- related problems of the modern world would be very tedious to solve. Utilit…
