HTML Mastery: Semantics, Standards, and Styling

Product Description
Why settle for average HTML, when you can become a master of it? Markup is the fabric that holds the web together, but most people only scratch the surface of what can be achieved using (X)HTML. That’s where this unique book comes init’s aimed at web designers and developers who have already mastered the basics of HTML and web design, but want to take their markup further, making it leaner and more semantically rich, for a more efficient, more usable/accessible web site.

HTML Mastery does all that and more, showing all of the HTML tags available, including less commonly used ones, where and how to use them, and clever styling and scripting techniques that you can employ to take advantage of them on your web site. It is totally standards compliant, up to date with modern web design techniques. Forms and tables are looked in particular detail, as there is so much that can be done with them. In addition, the book also looks at some of the advanced semantic tools that look to further improve the usability and semantic value of your sitesan entire chapter is devoted to Microformats, and a nod is given to XHTML 2.0 and Web Applications 1.0web standards of the future. Summary of Contents:

  • Chapter 1: Getting Started
  • Chapter 2: Using the Right Tag for the Right Job
  • Chapter 3: Table Mastery
  • Chapter 4: Form Mastery
  • Chapter 5: Purpose-Built Semantics: Microformats and Other Stories
  • Chapter 6: Recognizing Semantics
  • Chapter 7: Looking Ahead: XHTML 2.0 and Web Applications 1.0

  • Appendix B: Frames, and How to Avoid Them

About the Author
Clawing his way from deepest, darkest Somerset upon his coming of age, Paul Haine found himself ironically trapped for a further six years on the opposite side of the country in deepest, darkest Kent, learning about web standards during the spare weeks between History lectures. Now residing in Oxford\’s Famous East Oxford, he spends his days working for an international publishing company, surrounded by a plethora of Apple-branded hardware, Nintendo kitsch and a truly massive collection of grunge and pixel fonts.

Paul also runs his personal blog, joeblade.com, alongside his design blog, unfortunatelypaul.com. He attends to both of these approximately every six months during the gap between catching up with his blogroll, and refreshing it to begin reading again.

The Algorithm Design Manual

The Algorithm Design Manual

Product Description

….The most comprehensive guide to designing practical and efficient algorithms!….

“…the book is an algorithm-implementation treasure trove, and putting all of these implementations in one place was no small feat. The list of implementations [and] extensive bibliography make the book an invaluable resource for everyone interested in the subject.”

“It has all the right ingredients: rich contents, friendly, personal language, subtle humor, the right references, and a plethora of pointers to resources.” – P. Takis Metaxas, Wellesley College

“This is the most approachable book on algorithms I have.” – Megan Squire, Elon University, USA

This newly expanded and updated second edition of the best-selling classic continues to take the “mystery” out of designing algorithms, and analyzing their efficacy and efficiency. Expanding on the first edition, the book now serves as the primary textbook of choice for algorithm design courses while maintaining its status as the premier practical reference guide to algorithms for programmers, researchers, and students.

The reader-friendly Algorithm Design Manual provides straightforward access to combinatorial algorithms technology, stressing design over analysis. The first part, Techniques, provides accessible instruction on methods for designing and analyzing computer algorithms. The second part, Resources, is intended for browsing and reference, and comprises the catalog of algorithmic resources, implementations and an extensive bibliography.

Event-Based Programming: Taking Events to the Limit

Event-Based Programming: Taking Events to the Limit

Event-Based Programming: Taking Events to the Limit

Product Description

Languages like C#, VB .NET, and Delphi include built-in support for events, and these events become very powerful when they connect the objects and components of a system. Events make it possible for such parts to interact without any coupling. And the resulting parts can be developed and tested individuallywhich keeps the code clean and simple.

Component-based development (CBD) is an extension of object-oriented programming. CBD does away with the language and vendor-specific limitations of OOP, and makes software reuse more practical and accelerates the development process. Event-based programming is the next logical step in CBD, and makes components more reusable due to their decoupled nature. But event-based systems are easier to develop, which means theyre cheaper and more reliable than traditional OOP or CBD systems.

This book teaches you how to develop software based on parts that interact primarily through an event mechanism. Youll learn how to use events in many different situations, to solve recurring development problems without coupling. The book introduces Signal Wiring Diagram, a novel form of software diagram similar to the circuit diagrams used by hardware designers. The book concludes with a series of case studies, incorporating all featured concepts. In a nutshell, youll want to pick up a copy of this book because it

  • Provides source code in both C# and VB .NET
  • Shows how to use an event-based paradigm to reduce or completely eliminate coupling between classes and components
  • Describes components, including coordinators, workers, builders, binders, and routers
  • Contains three complete case studies that model concepts being used to design small, medium, and large systems

About the Author
Ted Faison has over 25 years of experience in the software industry and has been involved with object-oriented-programming and component-based development since the inception of those technologies. He has worked primarily in the private sector, also as a consultant for the U.S. and Italian governments.
