The Google Daydream is one of the most powerful mobile VR systems available. With the right set of tools, developers can build applications that take advantage of its many features, which include head tracking, stereoscopic rendering, and spatial audio output. This book explores two of these toolsets: the Google VR Software Development Kit (SDK) for Android and the Google VR Native Development Kit (NDK) for Android. The Unity SDK and the Unreal SDK are not discussed. The book begins by introducing Android Studio and the fundamental classes provided by the Android API. Next, the book presents 3-D rendering with OpenGL ES and the graphical requirements needed to create a virtual reality environment. The last part of the book presents applications that take full advantage of the Daydream's VR capabilities. In addition to presenting Java-based applications, the later chapters explain how to improve performance with C/C++ code.

Angular is Google's foremost framework for developing high-performing, rock-solid web applications. Unlike most web apps, Angular apps are based on components, which means they're composed of interchangeable software elements that can be replaced and re-used. Angular's modularity ensures rapid development, high reliability, and ease of upgrading. To create Angular components, developers can take advantage of a new language from Microsoft called TypeScript. TypeScript encompasses JavaScript, but provides many helpful features including classes, interfaces, static types, and improved tooling support. TypeScript gives you the best of both worlds: the object-oriented methodology of high-level languages and the speed and convenience of JavaScript. To present these topics, the first chapters of the book provide a thorough introduction to the TypeScript language, from its new data types to its support for the document object model (DOM). After that, the book focuses on Angular and its many extraordinary capabilities, which include routing, form development, animation, and asynchronous operation. The last chapters of the book are particularly exciting, and discuss the Material Design library for Angular and the ability to customize graphics with Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and HTML5. Table of Contents: Chapter 1: Introducing TypeScript and Angular Chapter 2: TypeScript Development Tools Chapter 3: TypeScript Basics Chapter 4: Classes, Interfaces, and Mixins Chapter 5: Declaration Files and the Document Object Model (DOM) Chapter 6: Unit Testing and Decorators Chapter 7: Modules, Web Components, and Angular Chapter 8: Fundamentals of Angular Development Chapter 9: Directives Chapter 10: Dependency Injection Chapter 11: Asynchronous Programming Chapter 12: Routing Chapter 13: HTTP and JSONP Communication Chapter 14: Forms Chapter 15: Animation, i18n, and Custom Pipes Chapter 16: Material Design Chapter 17: Testing Components with Protractor Chapter 18: Displaying REST Data with Dynamic Tables Chapter 19: Custom Graphics with SVG and the HTML5 Canvas

Through Interactive Brokers, software developers can write applications that read financial data, scan for contracts, and submit orders automatically. Individuals can now take advantage of the same high-speed decision making and order placement that professional trading firms use.
This book walks through the process of developing applications based on IB's Trader Workstation (TWS) programming interface. Beginning chapters introduce the fundamental classes and functions, while later chapters show how they can be used to implement full-scale trading systems. With an algorithmic system in place, traders don't have to stare at charts for hours on end. Just launch the trading application and let the TWS API do its work.
The material in this book focuses on Python and C++ coding, so readers are presumed to have a basic familiarity with one of these languages. However, no experience in financial trading is assumed. If you're new to the world of stocks, bonds, options, and futures, this book explains what these financial instruments are and how to write applications capable of trading them.
