Beginning iOS Storyboarding: Using Xcode

Book Description
For the beginner who has never programmed, Beginning iOS Storyboarding shows how to extract those cool and innovative app ideas you have in your head into a working app ready for sale on the iTunes store by using Apple’s new Storyboarding technology. Storyboarding allows you to skip chunks of code by just dragging scenes and segues onto your Storyboard canvas. A time saver for sure, but it’s new!

Dr. Rory Lewis, Yulia McCarthy and Stephen Moraco — a best selling Apress author, a former Apple iOS engineering group intern and a successful app developer — have teamed up to bring you this book, Beginning iOS Storyboarding. The three authors have found a beautiful way to lead the beginner into Storyboarding and at the same time show old school coders of Objective-C the new and exquisite methodology of this incredible tool.

Even if you’re an intermediate or pro-level Objective-C developer, you can still learn the ins and outs of Xcode’s new Storyboarding feature, and find new ways of building and debugging your new Storyboarding app. Yup: This book is also for you, too.

In this book, you get the following, beyond learning the fundamentals and classical elements of Storyboarding:

Design and build utilities and a location based service app using Storyboarding techniques
Design and build a universal app with a rich user interface and user experience (UX)
Create a fun game app, and more
What you’ll learn

How iOS Storyboarding is like a different planet in the Xcode universe. We do this by introducing you to the standard transitions to views, passing data to the views, returning data from the views, and, lastly, showing how to navigate the critical transitions to views.
How to develop a simple utility app using Storyboarding. Here we learn the foundation of many apps, which is how to place controls on the settings screen of a utility application and to return those settings to the main view of the app via the settings view delegate protocol.
How to develop an app with an advanced MKMapView. Specifically, we introduce you to override the default views provided by Apple’s initial project templates. This opens the door to you being able to code specialized views such as MKMapView, and utilize iOS Location Services for building navigation-based apps.
What are the cool, powerful tools that enable you to create page controller view transitions. We dig deep into the ins and outs of how to apply the UIPageControls to display views and supply traditional view notification to controlled views.
How to create a very cool universal app while you learn how to develop table views, which in the iPad case, present themselves differently depending upon the device orientation using the UISplitViewController.
How to build a universal app with two Storyboards (one for iPhone, one for iPad) and provide techniques and tips for developing universal apps.
How to develop a cool game app which stretches your knowledge of how segues can be used to provide much more complex navigation paths between screens and devices.
Who this book is for
This book is for the beginner who has never programmed, but can use the Storyboarding tool in Xcode to get up and running fast. This book is also for experienced iOS developers who wish to learn Storyboarding to quickly cut down on their app development and debugging time.

Cloud Standards

Book Description
Cloud computing is often described as providing computing resources the way electric utilities provide energy. In theory, anyone with an adequate connection to the Internet should be able to tap into a cloud provider and get exactly the computing resources they want when they want it, just like plugging into the electricity grid and getting exactly the energy you want when you want it. But to get that electricity, there are many standards: voltage, frequency, phase, motors constructed in standard ways—there is a long list; there is an equally long list for cloud computing. Many of the standards are already in place. Others are being developed; some in contention.

Cloud Standards is a broad discussion of important existing and future standards. For existing standards, the discussion focuses on how they are used, providing practical advice to engineers constructing clouds and services to be deployed on clouds. For future standards, the discussion is on why a standard is needed, what the benefits will be, and what is being done now to fill the gap. No current book provides this information in the depth and detail necessary for an engineer in his work, an architect in designing cloud systems, a product manager collecting and evaluating products, or an executive evaluating the feasibility of a project. A second benefit from this book is that it provides insight into cloud implementations. Cloud implementations can be seen as the culmination of many trends in software and hardware engineering. Much of the foundation for these developments have been crystallized in the form of standards like TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) and HTTP (Hypertext Transmission Protocol). The book leads readers to understand how these contribute to and affect cloud implementations.

Unfortunately, emerging standards are often messy. Cloud implementers may need to choose between competing proposed standards. Sometimes it is better to reject the standard entirely and “roll your own.” This book provides background for intelligent decisions.

Keeping a cloud, or an application implemented on a cloud, running well requires careful tuning of the implementation. Tuning often involves adjusting controls that are in the standard or applying the standard in less well-known ways. This book is an aid in tuning cloud systems for maximum benefits.

What you’ll learn

A reader should take away the ability to identify the appropriate standards to apply in all aspects of cloud implementations and the design and construction of software to be deployed on the cloud.
Users will learn how to apply the standards once they are identified, and the strengths of specific standards.
Since standards are at the foundation of many aspects of cloud computing, readers will also gain a greater understanding of how the cloud works, as well as its strengths and vulnerabilities.
Who this book is for
Cloud Standards is aimed at trained software engineers, architects, product managers, and knowledgeable executives who are accustomed to working in an enterprise IT environment. Readers will be aided by familiarity with basic programming practices and common software engineering tools like Java and XML, although this knowledge is not required.

Table of Contents

What are Standards? Why do they exist?
What is cloud?
Cloud Related Technologies and Services
Types of standards that go into the cloud and how they interact

Getting Good with PHP

Book Description

Even if you don’t have any programming experience under your belt, this easy-to-read guide will get you started with PHP in no time.

In Getting Good with PHP, Andrew Burgess will teach you everything you need to know about the basics of PHP. Even if you don’t have any programming experience under your belt, this easy-to-read guide will get you started with PHP in no time.

This book isn’t meant to be the super extreme, all-encompassing  book which will make you become one with PHP. But if you know nothing at all about PHP and want to get comfy with it as quickly as possible, then I think this book is definitely for you. Although it won’t make you an expert, it will take you all the way to the advanced beginner state, getting you to a point where you’ll be comfortable writing PHP scripts for your own websites and ready to digest more advanced PHP topics.

Andrew Burgess has been a student of web development for eight years, and a teacher of it for three and a half years. He’s a staff writer at Nettuts+, and staff instructor at Tuts+ Premium. He’s also the author of two other Rockable books: Getting Good with Git, and Getting Good with JavaScript.

What The Book Covers
Getting Up and Running
Before we actually start learning PHP, let’s figure out exactly what PHP is, and why you should use it. Of course, to learn PHP, you’ll need to have it installed on your computer, so we’ll also walk through the installation process on both Windows and Mac.

The Nuts and Bolts of PHP
Next up, we’ll walk through the datatypes and operators of PHP. Datatypes and operators are the core of pretty much every programming language; having these under your belt will really make you feel like you’re beginning togrok PHP. We’ll also look at creating functions.

PHP’s Control Structures and Built-in Functions
 If datatypes and operators are the nuts and bolts, then control structures are the chassis of programming languages. `If` and `else`, `foreach` and `switch`, `return` and `require`: all of them play important roles in your understanding of PHP Fundamentals. Then, we’ll dive into PHP’s massive library of built-in functions: as you’ll see, there really is a function for pretty much anything you might want to do.

PHP Forms and Persistence
PHP is useful for dealing with user input, so that’s what we look at next. Of course, the web doesn’t keep track of your website viewers, so PHP has several methods of preserving the visitor’s data. Then, of course, there are databases, which are great for storing user data for longer periods of time.

Security and Problem Solving
When you’re working with user input, you want to make sure that you don’t make place for hackers to exploit your site. While this isn’t quite “Security 101,” you’ll learn some helpful tips to make sure that the input you get from your users is what you expect, and not what you dread. Then, we’ll wrap it up with a discussion on how to fix things when they go wrong.
