"The flip-side of Patterns, AntiPatterns provide developers with formal descriptions of common development gaffes that can derail a project along with practical guidelines on how to avoid them. In this book, the authors present dozens of Java AntiPatterns that tackle many of Java's biggest trouble spots for programming with EJB, JSP, Servlets, and more. Each AntiPattern is documented with real-world examples, code, and refactored (or escape-route) solutions, and the book uses UML (where appropriate) to diagram improved solutions. All code examples from the book are available to the reader on the book's companion Web site."

The Eclipse Platform is a Java application designed for building Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) that can be used to create a broad array of applications using languages ranging from PHP to C++ to Java. The Eclipse IDE has become one of the most popular development tools in both the open-source and commercial worlds and is quickly becoming the Java IDE of choice. Eclipse 3 Live provides the reader with a comprehensive guide to using Eclipse from its most basic IDE features to some of its most advanced topics such as Platform extensibility. Eclipse 3 Live provides a no-nonsense description of what the Eclipse Platform is and how users can leverage it to develop anything from Java applications to custom-built products. Some of the topics covered by Eclipse 3 Live include: The Eclipse Platform and Architecture The Java Development Tooling (JDT) The Eclipse SDK Using the Eclipse Debugger Version Control and Configuration Management Integration with the most popular open-source projects including: Ant, JUnit, Cactus, and CVS. The SourceBeat "Live" series ensures to readers that they are receiving the most current documentation on any particular topic. SourceBeat authors continually update their books to stay relevant with the current technology, and interact with their readers via the SourceBeat website.

Have you seen Apple's Front Row application and Cover Flow effects? Then you've seen Core Animation at work. It's about making applications that give strong visual feedback through movement and morphing, rather than repainting panels. This comprehensive guide will get you up to speed quickly and take you into the depths of this new technology. Mac OS X Leopard introduces a fantastic new technology that makes writing applications with animated and cinematic user interfaces much easier. We'll explore this new technology by starting with the familiar concepts you already know from the pre-Leopard development kits.
Then we'll see how they apply to the new frameworks and APIs. We'll build on your existing knowledge of Cocoa and bring you efficiently up to speed on what Core Animation is all about.
With this book in hand, you can add Core Animation to your Cocoa applications, and make stunning user interfaces that your user's will be showing off to their friends.

Packing the power of desktop applications into a small mobile device, the iPhone SDK offers developers the ability to create dynamic, visually-appealing, and highly-capable mobile applications, using the same APIs and tools that Apple uses for its own applications. However, harnessing that power means learning new tools, new APIs, and even a whole new programming language. iPhone SDK Development is a Pragmatic guide to get you started developing applications for iPhone and iPod touch. With it, you'll get a complete understanding of the tools and techniques needed to succeed on the platform: Use the XCode IDE to manage your source code, images, sounds, database files, and other application resources, building your app and deploying it onto your own device for testing. Develop your user interface the visual, code-free way, with Interface Builder. Master the iPhone's unique user interface components, including tables, tab bars, navigation bars, and the multi-touch interface. Connect your iPhone to the outside world with networking, exploit the power of a relational database with SQLite, and rock out with first-class support for audio and video. Make use of the iPhone's unique mobile APIs, like geolocation and the motion-sensing accelerometer Use XCode's powerful performance and debugging tools to eliminate memory leaks, zombies, and other hazards. * Understand the process for packaging your application for end-user distribution through Apple's App Store. With explanations of the big picture and an eye to the little details that you'll need, iPhone SDK Development will help you succeed on today's most important mobile platform.

Welcome to the new state of the art development for iOS, with the radically overhauled Xcode 4 toolchain and iOS 5 SDK. With this book you'll accelerate your development for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. You will learn the new tools like Storyboards, practice on new APIs like the Twitter framework and use the latest features of the Objective-C 2.0 programming language. Since the iPhone's launch in 2008, the iOS platform has added two new device families, thousands of new APIs, new tools and programming practices, and hundreds of thousands of new apps. iOS SDK Development is the second edition of the bestselling iPhone SDK Development, completely rewritten from the ground up to cover iOS 5's new features. You'll get hands-on experience working with Objective-C and Xcode 4 as you work through this tutorial-style book with two experienced iOS developers by your side. Along the way, you'll learn the fundamentals of maintainable, performant iOS programming, including: Making apps that are multi-core-capable, testable, internationalizable, and that use less memory. Understanding the underlying concepts of touch event handling, drawing and animation, multi-core concurrency, and memory management with iOS 5's new Automatic Reference Counting. Creating and using unit tests to ensure your app continues to work as intended even as the codebase evolves. Working through Apple's App Store processes, including preparing apps for submission, avoiding rejections, and understanding crash reports from end users. Whether you're a first-time iOS developer, or you're looking to get up to speed with all the changes to Apple's tools and frameworks, iPhone SDK Development is the solid grounding you need to master this popular platform. What You Need: You need a Mac running Mac OS X Lion (10.7) and Xcode 4.
