Adoption of Bluetooth wireless technology has become ubiquitous in the
last few years. One of the biggest steps forward is the standardization
of Java APIs for Bluetooth wireless technology (JABWT). The latest
updates to this standard is explained in detail in this book. The JABWT
standard, defined by the JSR-82 Java Specification Request, supports
rapid development of Bluetooth applications that are portable, secure,
and highly-usable. Wireless device manufacturers have responded
overwhelmingly to the JABWT specification by implementing JABWT
applications in mobile phones and other personal wireless communications
products.

"Bluetooth Application Programming Essentials: Programming with the Java
APIs" explains in detail how to write Bluetooth applications using the
Java APIs to exploit the power of both technologies. Written by the
specification lead for JSR-82 and two other key participants in
developing the standards of JABWT, this book provides the authoritative
explanations and concrete examples needed to get started right away.
This book provides embedded Java developers with to-the-point
information on the APIs in the specification with detailed programmatic
examples of the APIs in use. A NEW chapter on the Push Registry
definition (a new feature in the 1.1 version of JSR-82) has been added.
Finally, the new Essentials version of the book will update the
remaining chapters to reflect changes in the latest Bluetooth spec (2.1)
and the industry as a whole. As a bonus, this edition of the book offers
over 200 pages of added content on the website. This "bonus material"
includes complete source code from examples in the book, the
javex.bluetooth code package, the java.obex code package, an enhanced
set of "Example Applications", and a tutorial on "Implementing JABWT on
a Device." These code-heavy sections are actually more effective in
electonic format where the application can be easily downloaded. KEY
FEATURES & BENEFITS

* By focusing only on the essentials, this concise resource enables
software and hardware vendors to quickly develop Bluetooth applications
for mobile devices in an increasingly competitive market.

* The updated material examines crucial programming areas (including
RFCOMM, OBEX, device discovery, service discovery, and L2CAP), which
allows developers to not only successfully design, but master and build
Java APIs for Bluetooth Wireless Technology.

* Includes a new and valuable chapter that delineates the pivotal Push
Registry feature ? a recent development that will help programmers avoid
the common problem of connection collision.

* By providing real-world issues and problems involved in implementing
the Java APIs specification, the book allows developers to identify with
the text and encourages repeated reference.

iPhone Open Application Development

iPhone Open Application Development: Write Native Objective-C
Applications for the iPhone (c) by O'Reilly Media, Inc.

The type of the release is: eBook
In the CHM format with ISBN: 0596518552 and Pub Date: March 10, 2008

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.

Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX

Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX (c) by Apress

The type of the release is: eBook
In the PDF format with ISBN: 1590598288 and Pub Date: November 12, 2007

Since the emergence of Google Maps 12 months ago, Ajax programming
techniques have become one of the hottest topics in the programming
arena. To date, the frameworks available for creating these applications
have been complex and have separated the development of the client�side
Ajax (on the user�s machine) from the server�side supporting technology
(on the company�s machines). This separation has made development slow
and difficult. ASP.NET AJAX is Microsoft�s solution to this problem.
ASP.NET AJAX (formerly code�named Atlas) is a set of extensions to the
existing ASP.NET 2.0 technology that provides you with a fast-and-simple
environment to create Ajax applications. Microsoft has combined Ajax
with ASP.NET technology and provided a unified set of development tools
within Visual Studio 2005. For the first time, Ajax applications can be
developed seamlessly in conjunction with a supporting technology.
Foundations of ASP.NET AJAX (written by Laurence Moroney the author of
Apress successful Foundations of Atlas) gives you a detailed
grounding in how ASP.NET AJAX works. It takes you swiftly through the
basic principles of Ajax, then deep into the heart of the technology,
where every namespace is discussed and every function considered. By the
end of the book, you�ll know all the essentials to confidently produce
cutting-edge ASP.NET AJAX applications swiftly and professionally. You
will not need any reference beyond this book.

Pro Active Record Databases with Ruby and Rails

Pro Active Record: Databases with Ruby and Rails (c) by Apress

The type of the release is: eBook
In the PDF format with ISBN: 1590598474 and Pub Date: September 10, 2007

Pro Active Record helps you take advantage of the full power of your
database engine from within your Ruby programs and Rails applications.
ActiveRecord, part of the magic that makes the Rails framework so
powerful and easy to use, is the model element of Rails
model/view/controller framework. Its an object-relational mapping
library enabling you to interact with databases from both Ruby and Rails
applications. Because ActiveRecord is configured with default
assumptions that mesh perfectly with the Rails framework, Rails
developers often find they hardly need think about it at all. However,
if you are developing in Ruby without Rails, or are deploying against
legacy databases designed without Rails in mind, or you just want to
take advantage of database-specific features such as large objects and
stored procedures, you need the in-depth knowledge of ActiveRecord found
in this book. In Pro Active Record, authors Kevin Marshall, Chad Pytel,
and Jon Yurek walk you through every step from the basics of getting and
installing the ActiveRecord library to working with legacy schema to
using features specific to each of todays most popular database engines,
including Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, and more! You�ll come to a deep
understanding of ActiveRecord that will enable you to truly exploit all
that Ruby, Rails, and your chosen database platform have to offer.
