Google Web Toolkit – GWT Java AJAX Programming

The Google Web Toolkit (GWT) makes it even easier to design an AJAX application using just the Java programming language. It is an open-source Java development framework and its best feature is that we don't have to worry too much about incompatibilities between web browsers and platforms. In GWT, we write the code in Java and then GWT converts it into browser-compliant JavaScript and HTML. This helps a lot, because we can stop worrying about modular programming. It provides a programming framework that is similar to that used by developers building Java applications using one of the GUI toolkits such as Swing, AWT, or SWT. GWT provides all the common user-interface widgets, listeners to react to events happening in the widgets, and ways to combine them into more complex widgets to do things that the GWT team may never have envisioned! Moreover, it makes reusing chunks of program easy. This greatly reduces the number of different technologies that you will need to master. If you know Java, then you can use your favorite IDE (we use Eclipse in this book) to write and debug an AJAX GWT application in Java. Yes, that means you can actually put breakpoints in your code and debug seamlessly from the client side to the server side. You can deploy your applications in any servlet container, create and run unit tests, and essentially develop GWT applications like any Java application. So start reading this book, fire up Eclipse, and enter the wonderful world of AJAX and GWT programming!

AJAX and PHP-Building Modern Web Applications

AJAX is a complex phenomenon that means different things to different people.
Computer users appreciate that their favorite websites are now friendlier and feel
more responsive. Web developers learn new skills that empower them to create sleek
web applications with little effort. Indeed, everything sounds good about AJAX!
At its roots, AJAX is a mix of technologies that lets you get rid of the evil page
reload, which represents the dead time when navigating from one page to another.
Eliminating page reloads is just one step away from enabling more complex features
into websites, such as real-time data validation, drag-and-drop, and other tasks
that weren't traditionally associated with web applications. Although the AJAX
ingredients are mature (the XMLHttpRequest object, which is the heart of AJAX,
was created by Microsoft in 1999), their new role in the new wave of web trends is
very young, and we'll witness a number of changes before these technologies will be
properly used to the best benefit of the end users.

Pro PHP and jQuery



Author-Jason Lengstorf

Pro PHP and jQuery will lead you to understand jQuery and its applications in modern web programming, it's important to take a moment and look back at where jQuery came from, what needs it was built to fill, and what programming in JavaScript was like before jQuery came around.
In chapter 1 you'll learn about JavaScript libraries and the needs they seek to fulfill, as well as why jQuery is the library of choice for the majority of web developers. You'll also learn the basics of jQuery, including how to make the library available for use in your applications and how the core of jQuery its
powerful selector engine works.

In chapter 2, you'’ll learn the concepts behind object-oriented programming (OOP), a style of coding in which related actions are grouped into classes to aid in creating more-compact, effective code. The backend of the project you’ll be building in this book is heavily based on OOP, so the concepts covered in this chapter will be referenced often throughout the rest of the exercises you’ll complete.

The application as it stands now is fully functional. Events can be viewed, and users with administrative clearance can log in to create, edit, or delete events.
The next step is to add a layer of polish to the app that creates that finished look-and-feel, which you’ll accomplish using a technique called progressive enhancement to add AJAX functionality to the app.

Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks


Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks
eBook Details

Author:Paolo Santi
No of Pages: 280 pages
Press: Wiley
Dated:September 2, 2005
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0470094532
ISBN-13: 978-0470094532

eBook Description
Forthcoming wireless multi-hop networks such as ad hoc and sensor networks will allow network nodes to control the communication topology by choosing their transmitting ranges. Briefly, topology control (TC) is the art of co-ordinating nodes’ decisions regarding their transmitting ranges,freebooks4ever.blogspot.com, to generate a network with the desired features. Building an optimized network topology helps surpass the prevalent scalability and capacity problems.

Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks makes the case for topology control and provides an exhaustive coverage of TC techniques in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks, considering both stationary networks, to which most of the existing solutions are tailored, and mobile networks. The author introduces a new taxonomy of topology control and gives a full explication of the applications and challenges of this important topic.

Topology Control in Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks:

* Defines topology control and explains its necessity, considering both stationary and mobile networks.
* Describes the most representative TC protocols and their performance.
* Covers the critical transmitting range for stationary and mobile networks, topology optimization problems such as energy efficiency, and distributed topology control.
* Discusses implementation and ‘open issues’, including realistic models and the effect of multi-hop data traffic.
* Presents a case study on routing protocol design,freebooks4ever.blogspot.com, to demonstrate how TC can ease the design of cooperative routing protocols.

This invaluable text will provide graduate students in Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Applied Mathematics and Physics, researchers in the field of ad hoc networking, and professionals in wireless telecoms as well as networking system developers with a single reference resource on topology control.

Over-the-Road Wireless For Dummies does make reference to a lot of Wi-Fi paraphernalia —including hardware, software, and services that can make your over-the-road lifestyle easier, better, or more fun (at least where computers or electronics are concerned). But don’t think you absolutely must have everything all at once. I recognize that everyone’s needs and desires are different; you might need or want some items now, some later, and some never. I offer all these marvels for your consideration — and I do my best to provide enough information so you can decide whether any product, program, or service deserves
a place in your Internet toolbox.
