Android User Interface made easy
Android User Interface made easy is ideal for beginners as it not only covers the User Interface in detail, but also includes 34 tutorials with line by line commentary: The areas covered are:
User Interface - a brief overview of the User Interface introducing the key components; Views, ViewGroups, Layouts, UI Events, Menus, Adapters, Styles and Themes.
Declaring layouts - the layout defines the arrangement of the elements on the screen. It also contains all these elements. We cover layouts here in more detail, explaining how to create a layout file and how to use it in your application.
Creating menus - Android uses Option and Context menus. We cover both in detail using a tutorial.
Creating dialogs - dialogs are the small windows appearing in front of your application screen from time to time, usually requesting some sort of action from you in connection with the application. We cover dialogs in detail here and include tutorials for the following: Alert Dialog, DatePicker Dialog, TimePicker Dialog, Custom Dialog, Progress Dialog, Progress Bar Dialog and the SeekBar Dialog.
Handling User Interface events - this section covers how the application responds to the user touching the screen, clicking buttons and entering text. It includes an Event Listener tutorial.
Notifying the user - sometimes the system needs to notify the user about something concerning the application. It does so in three ways, through a Dialog, which we have mentioned and through Toast messages and Status Bar Notifications. We cover the latter two here in detail and include a Toast tutorial and a Status Bar Notifications tutorial.
Applying Styles and Themes - Styles and Themes determine the look of your application, the size, shape and color of the elements. We cover both here in detail and include a Style tutorial as well as a Theme tutorial.
Creating reusable components - Android allows you to reuse components that you create. Here we cover how to reuse your layouts with include, merge and ViewStub. We work through tutorials for each of these. We also cover building Custom Components and include tutorials for: Modifying an existing view, Compound Components and fully Customized Components.
Binding data with adapterview - the adapterview's role is to fill the view with data and then to deal with the user's selection afterwards. We cover this in detail using tutorials for the Spinner, ListView and GridView.
Common layout objects - here we cover the layouts in detail and include tutorials for the following: FrameLayout, LinearLayout, TableLayout, RelativeLayout, SlidingDrawer layout, Gallery, GridView, ListView, ScrollView, Spinner, Tab, ImageSwitcher, TextSwitcher and ViewFlipper.
Widgets - widgets are view objects that allow the user to interact with the application. We cover widgets in detail here and include a tutorial.
Appendix - here we briefly define terms such as: RemoteViews, Intents, Application Components, Threads, Runnable, Handler, Adapters, Context, Constructors and Services. We also include brief tutorials on: Creating a new project in Eclipse, Working with layout files in Eclipse, Working with Strings and Working with Dimensions.
Android User Interface made easy covers all aspects of the user interface so after working through the tutorials you will confidently be able to develop good looking, functional Android applications.
Learn how to effectively use Layouts, Styles and Themes, Menus, Dialogs, Custom components and much, much more by working through the 34 tutorials. Includes over 150 color images.

So you want to develop Android applications?
Android is the most popular mobile platform, running on almost 60% of the world’s smartphones and tablets. By June 2012, 400 million Android devices had been activated and one million more Android devices are being activated every day. More than one and a half BILLION apps and games are downloaded each month!
As you can see, the Android market is huge. If you’re thinking of developing the next big Android app. Or maybe you just want to write an app to use on your smartphone or tablet. Where do you start? The internet is awash with information which can be quite confusing. There are also many books out there but which one is right for you?
This ebook will give you a broad understanding of Android. It will answer questions like:
• What is Android?
• What are the parts of an Android application?
• What can an Android application do?
• What do I need to develop Android applications?
• Where can I get the tools to develop Android applications?
• Where can I get help if I get stuck?
• What will it cost me to develop Android applications?
• Where can I sell my Android applications?
This is not a how-to book. It will not teach you how to develop Android applications. It will give you a broad understanding of the Android environment though. You will then be better informed to get out there, and get the right resources so that you can get down and write great Android applications.
Short and sweet, if you’re interested in developing Android applications but know very little about Android, then this book is a great place to start. It’s easy to read, not technical and covers just enough detail to make sense.

How Data Science Is Transforming Health Care
In the early days of the 20th century, department store magnate John Wanamaker famously said, "I know that half of my advertising doesn't work. The problem is that I don't know which half." That remained basically true until Google transformed advertising with AdSense based on new uses of data and analysis. The same might be said about health care and it's poised to go through a similar transformation as new tools, techniques, and data sources come on line. Soon we'll make policy and resource decisions based on much better understanding of what leads to the best outcomes, and we'll make medical decisions based on a patient's specific biology. The result will be better health at less cost.
This paper explores how data analysis will help us structure the business of health care more effectively around outcomes, and how it will transform the practice of medicine by personalizing for each specific patient.

Have we entered the age of NoOps infrastructures? Hardly. Old-style system administrators may be disappearing in the face of automation and cloud computing, but operations have become more significant than ever. As this O’Reilly Radar Report explains, we’re moving into a more complex arrangement known as "DevOps."
Mike Loukides, O’Reilly’s VP of Content Strategy, provides an incisive look into this new world of operations, where IT specialists are becoming part of the development team. In an environment with thousands of servers, these specialists now write the code that maintains the infrastructure. Even applications that run in the cloud have to be resilient and fault tolerant, need to be monitored, and must adjust to huge swings in load. That was underscored by Amazon’s EBS outage last year.
From the discussions at O’Reilly’s Velocity Conference, it’s evident that many operations specialists are quickly adapting to the DevOps reality. But as a whole, the industry has just scratched the surface. This report tells you why.

Email Etiquette: Netiquette in the Information Age
There are no 'official' rules governing electronic communication. While there have been attempts to establish one standard or another as the default, there is no common agreement. So beware people telling you there is one right way, they are assuming too much. As a general rule though, netiquette involves the same principles as plain old etiquette -- basic courtesy, respect and ethics. Treat people the way you would want to be treated yourself.
By following the principles outlined below, the recipient of your email will be more likely to read and act, if not be favorably impressed by your message:
Subject line to summarise the message. Make the Subject line summarise the body of the e-mail. Ask yourself, 'will the recipient know what this e-mail is about'. For example, Instead of Subject: Exam, say Subject: Location of 1508INT Exam, 23 July 2011.
Don't assume the recipient knows the background. Include enough contextual information at the beginning of the e-mail for the recipient to know what the matter is about. If in doubt, put background information in. For example, don't say can I have an extension for my assignment?, instead say I refer to the CIT3622 assignment 1 that I handed in late. I was ill and have a doctor's certificate. May I ask for an extension on the basis that I was too ill to do it on time?
Keep it concise. Keep messages brief and to the point, but not so brief that it causes the problem outlined in the previous point. This includes deleting any irrelevant text when an email has been back and forth several times. No-one wants to scroll down through pages of text in order to reach the message they want to read. If the sense of the email will be lost by deleting that text, however, leave it in.
Reply within 24 hours. Try to reply within 24 hours, less if possible. In fact, get in the habit of replying immediately -- it is the polite thing to do, and the recipient will appreciate a prompt reply. It also makes you look efficient. The longer you leave it to reply, the more likely you will forget or have too big a log-jam of unanswered email.
Allow time for a reply. E-mail messages are not usually required to be answered immediately, though it is good practice if you do. Before sending a reminder, allow some time for a response, some times even a few days. Not everyone is online 24 hours a day.
Use the BCC field when sending bulk email. If you're sending email to a whole list of people, put their email addresses in the BCC field. That way, the privacy of the recipient is respected, and spammers cannot harvest the email addresses for their dastardly purposes.

Consumer networks have revolutionized the way companies understand and reach their customers, making possible intricate measurement and accurate prediction at every step of every transaction. The same revolution is underway in our infrastructure, where new generations of sensor-laden power plants, cars and medical devices will generate vast quantities of data that could bring about improvements in quality, reliability and cost. Big machines will enter the modern era of big data, where they'll be subject to constant analysis and optimization.
The promise of the industrial internet is that it will bring intelligence to industries that are capital-intensive and create broad value that all of the industrial internet's participants will share.
This report examines the industrial internet across several industries. It describes both near-term efforts as well as the longer-term development that will emerge as software and machines further integrate.

Disruptive Possibilities: How Big Data Changes Everything
Internet-scale computing—popularly known as big data—has more disruptive potential than any information technology in the past 40 years. As author Jeffrey Needham points out in this eye-opening book, big data can provide unprecedented insight into user habits, giving enterprises a huge market advantage. It will also inspire organizations to change the way they function.
Disruptive Possibilities: How Big Data Changes Everything takes you on a journey of discovery into the emerging world of big data, from its relatively simple technology to the ways it differs from cloud computing. But the big story of big data is the disruption of enterprise status quo, especially vendor-driven technology silos and budget-driven departmental silos. In the highly collaborative environment needed to make big data work, silos simply don’t fit.
Internet-scale computing offers incredible opportunity and a tremendous challenge—and it will soon become standard operating procedure in the enterprise. This book shows you what to expect.

An analysis of indicators for National Reconstruction Information Management System…
Data is the diet of development. Planning requires data about the present situation to determine the needs before required resources are mobilized to meet them. For example, data about present schools, their infrastructure, enrolment and the number of school age children will have to be analyzed before deciding what to do about the present schools and build new ones.
The new Local Government system highlighted tremendous potential for development at local levels. To turn possibility into reality, it is necessary to have comprehensive data about the present situation in all fields. To meet the need, National Reconstruction Bureau developed National Reconstruction Information Management System . NARIMS provides for collection of data on almost everything that may be relevant to planning and action.
The complete list of Broad Indicators is given in the beginning of this book. Chapter 01 proposes amendments in various items of the list to improve headings and to make data more comprehensive.
Chapter 02 suggests all possible applications for the data under various headings . The collection of so much data can be useful if all relevant people apply it. However, the sequential order may not be very helpful. For example, it would not be easy for businessmen and industrialists to find out what data will be directly relevant to their operations unless they go through the entire database, heading by heading. For their convenience, the final section divides the text of Chapter 02 into three classifications so that one may go straight to the relevant classification. The classifications are
a) Local Governments
b) Business and industry
c) Provincial and Federal Government departments and other organizations

Production Methodologies, Techniques and Guidelines for Modern Computer Game Testing
As development methods in the video games industry have evolved and improved the process, a key phase in the lifecycle of a game’s creation has suffered. With video games becoming more mainstream and pushing the boundaries of technology and creativity more care must be placed on making sure that the end product is of high quality and is not faulty. This is where game testing comes in.
This short book looks at several different techniques and processes that can be applied to the testing phase of a video game’s production to make it the process more productive and find more troublesome bugs that can ruin a game when released.
