Certain technologies bring out everyone's hidden geek, and iPhone did
the moment it was released. Even though Apple created iPhone as a closed
device, tens of thousands of developers bought them with the expressed
purpose of designing and running third-party software. In this clear and
concise book, veteran hacker Jonathan Zdziarski -- one of the original
hackers of the iPhone -- explains the iPhone's native environment and
how you can build software for this device using its Objective-C, C, and
C++ development frameworks. iPhone Open Application Development walks
you through the iPhone's proprietary development environment, offers an
overview of the Objective-C language you'll use with it, and supplies
background for the iPhone operating system. You also get detailed
recipes and working examples for everyone's favorite iPhone features --
graphics and audio programming, interfaces for adding multitouch
functionality to games, the use of hardware sensors, and the device's
vast user interface kit. This book explains: How to access the iPhone's
underlying operating system The makeup of an iPhone application How to
get the open source tool chain running on your desktop The iPhone's core
user interface framework, which is heavily tied to major
application-level functions Using the many touted iPhone features such
as multitouch, hardware sensors, and gestures Intercepting and handling
event notifications for many iPhone-related events Raw video surfaces
and 3D transformations that take you deeper into advanced graphics on
the iPhone How to record and play simple sounds and intercept sound
events Advanced digital audio output using Apple's new Audio Toolbox
framework Advanced user interfacecomponents such as section lists,
keyboards, and image manipulation The Appendix includes a compendium of
miscellaneous code examples for cool application features, such as using
the camera and creating a CoverFlow(R)-like album browser. This book is
a true hacker's book, designed for the millions of users who have run
third party applications on their iPhone, but its concepts and code
examples have shown to be remarkably similar to Apple's official SDK,
making this book a valuable resource for both camps. Any programmer can
use this book to write applications with the same spectacular effects
that made the device an immediate hit, and impress users just as much as
the official iPhone software does. That programmer can easily be you.

videoconferencing; broad distribution of financial data, stock quotes,
and news bulletins; database replication; software distribution; and
content caching (for example, Web site caching). After an introduction
that gets readers up to speed on the basics, IP Multicast with
Applications to IPTV and Mobile DVB-H:
*

Discusses multicast addressing for payload and payload forwarding
*

Covers routing in a variety of protocols, including PIM-SM, CBT,
PIM-DM, DVMRP, and MOSPF
*

Discusses multicasting in IPv6 environments and Multicast Listener
Discovery (MLD)
*

Features examples of IP Multicast applications in the IPTV and
mobile DVB-H environments
*

Includes reference RFCs and protocols placed in the proper context
of a commercial-grade infrastructure for the delivery of robust,
entertainment-quality linear and nonlinear video programming This is a
concise, compact reference for practitioners who seek a quick, practical
review of the topic with an emphasis on the major and most often used
aspects of the technology. It serves as a hands-on resource for
engineers in the communications industry or Internet design, content
providers, and researchers. It's also an excellent text for college
courses on IP Multicast and/or IPTV.

WiMAX: Applications

Description
As the demand for broadband services continues to grow worldwide, traditional solutions, such as digital cable and fiber optics, are often difficult and expensive to implement, especially in rural and remote areas. The emerging WiMAX system satisfies the growing need for high data-rate applications such as voiceover IP, video conferencing, interactive gaming, and multimedia streaming. WiMAX deployments not only serve residential and enterprise users but can also be deployed as a backhaul for Wi-Fi hotspots or 3G cellular towers. By providing affordable wireless broadband access, the technology of WiMAX will revolutionize broadband communications in the developed world and bridge the digital divide in developing countries. Part of the WiMAX Handbook, this volume focuses on the applications of WiMAX. The book describes the logical architecture of IEEE 802.16, introduces some of the main IEEE 802.16 family standards, compares WiMAX to Wi-Fi, and studies the feasibility of supporting VoIP over WiMAX. It also looks at the residential use of WiMAX as well as the strategies of using WiMAX in remote locales and rural communities. In addition, the book examines the backhaul requirements of a large fixed wireless network and the problem of centralized routing and scheduling for IEEE 802.16 mesh networks. With the revolutionary technology of WiMAX, the lives of many will undoubtedly improve, thereby leading to greater economic empowerment.

By providing affordable wireless broadband access, the technology of WiMAX will revolutionize broadband communications in the developed world and bridge the digital divide in developing countries. Part of the WiMAX Handbook, this volume focuses on the technologies behind WiMAX, its performance capabilities, and its control mechanisms. The book introduces programmable baseband processors suited for WiMAX systems, describes an innovative methodology for the design of multi-band WiMAX antennas, addresses space-time block codes, and reviews space-frequency/space-time-frequency code design criteria. It also proposes a combined call admission control and scheduling scheme, focuses on the performance analysis of the IEEE 802.16 mesh mode, and analyzes the performance of both single-input-single-output and space-time-block-coded OFDM systems in mobile environments. The final section establishes a framework of an ideal reservation period controller, examines the ecosystem in which scheduling for IEEE 802.16e systems must be performed, and presents a fuzzy logic controller for admission control. With the revolutionary technology of WiMAX, the lives of many will undoubtedly improve, thereby leading to greater economic empowerment.

The Symbian OS Architecture Sourcebook: Design and Evolution of a Mobile Phone OS

The current Symbian Press list focuses very much on the small scale features of Symbian OS in a programming context. The Architecture Sourcebook is different.

It's not a how-to book, it's a 'what and why' book. And because it names names as it unwinds the design decisions which have shaped the OS, it is also a 'who' book. It will show where the OS came from, how it has evolved to be what it is, and provide a simple model for understanding what it is, how it is put together, and how to interface to it and work with it. It will also show why design decision were made, and will bring those decisions to life in the words of Symbian's key architects and developers, giving an insider feel to the book as it weaves the "inside story" around the architectural presentation.

The book will describe the OS architecture in terms of the Symbian system model. It will show how the model breaks down the system into parts, what role the parts play in the system, how the parts are architected, what motivates their design, and how the design has evolved through the different releases of the system.

Key system concepts will be described; design patterns will be explored and related to those from other operating systems. The unique features of Symbian OS will be highlighted and their motivation and evolution traced and described.

The book will include a substantial reference section itemising the OS and its toolkit at component level and providing a reference entry for each component.
