OpenGL® ES™ 3.0 Programming Guide

OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES) is an application programming interface (API) for advanced 3D graphics targeted at handheld and embedded devices. OpenGL ES is the dominant graphics API in today’s smartphones and has even extended its reach onto the desktop. The list of platforms supporting OpenGL ES includes iOS, Android, BlackBerry, bada, Linux, and Windows. OpenGL ES also underpins …

GLOBAL DIMENSIONS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

We live today in a world in which the economic health of nations and the competitiveness of firms is determined largely by the ability to develop, commercialize, and most importantly, to appropriate (or capture) the economic benefits from scientific and technological (S&T) innovations. Intellectual property rights (IPRs), such as patents and copyrights, are an important means used by firms to h…

Oracle PL/SQL Programming

Oracle’s reference manuals may describe all the features of the PL/SQL language, but they don’t tell you how to apply the technology. In fact, in some cases, you’ll be lucky to even understand how to use a given feature after you’ve made your way through the railroad diagrams. Books and training courses tend to cover the same standard topics in the same limited way. In this book, I’ll…

Palm OS Programming

Palm OS Programming is a comprehensive introduction to programming for the Palm operating system, the fastest growing computer operating system and platform ever created, and certainly the most popular mobile computing platform in existence today. Throughout my career in software, whenever I was confronted with the challenge of quickly and efficiently getting up to speed with a new operating s…

Computer Networks: An Open Source Approach

Computer networking or data communications is a set of disciplines concerned with communication between computer systems or devices. It has its requirements and underlying principles. Since the first node of ARPANET (Advanced Research Project Agency Network, later renamed Internet) was established in 1969, the store-and-forward packet switching technologies formed the Internet architecture, whi…

Parallel Programming with Microsoft Visual C++

introduces the common problems faced by developers who want to use parallelism to make their applications run faster. It explains basic concepts and prepares you for the remaining chapters. There is a table in the “Design Approaches” section of Chapter 1 that can help you select the right patterns for your application.

Japan's Growing Technological Capability

The growing Japanese role in high technology raises a number of questions for the United States. Some of these questions relate to the current status of the two countries, for example, in what industries do Japanese firms hold technologies more advanced than their U.S. rivals? Are there industries in which U.S. firms still lead but are under serious challenge by Japanese firms? Are there sector…

Cleaner-Energy Investments

Clean energy is the flavor of the times. With a view to bringing the phrase closer to reality, I would prefer to refer to it in relative terms as Cleaner Energy. Investors have had divergent views of the sector: from being a genuine business opportunity, especially when attractive preferential tariffs are on offer, to a peripheral activity that helped “green wash” other business operations.…

Parallel Programming with Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010 Step by Step

Parallel programming truly redefines the programming model for multicore architecture, which has become commonplace. For this reason, parallel programming has been elevated to a core technology in the Microsoft .NET Framework 4. In this version of the .NET Framework, the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and the System.Threading.Tasks namespace contain the parallel programming implementation. Microso…

An Introduction to Quantum Optics

This book is a selected collection of my lecture notes on quantum optics for my PhD thesis students and for an introductory-level graduate course at the University of Maryland. My students and colleagues encouraged me to publish these lecture notes as a textbook or reference book that might be helpful in understanding the quantum theory of light from a relatively elementary, introductory lev…

Parallel Programming with Python

Parallel programming can be defined as a model that aims to create programs that are compatible with environments prepared to execute code instructions simultaneously. It has not been too long since techniques of parallelism began to be used to develop software. Some years ago, processors had a single Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) among other components, which could only execute one instruction a…

Programming on Parallel Machines

Parallel machines provide a wonderful opportunity for applications with large computational requirements. Effective use of these machines, though, requires a keen understanding of how they work. This chapter provides an overview of both the software and hardware.

PayPal APIs: Up and Running

PayPal’s NVP API makes it simple to integrate PayPal payments into your specific web application. You, the merchant, construct an NVP string and post it via HTTPS (HTTP Secure, aka TLS/SSL) to the PayPal authorization server. PayPal posts back an NVP- formatted response that you then parse in your web application for the information relevant to the payment. Figure 1-1 shows a basic request an…

PDF Succinctly

In reality, this translates into a lot of book orders, blog searches, and Twitter scans. While more information is becoming available on the Internet and more and more books are being published, even on topics that are relatively new, one aspect that continues to inhibit us is the inability to find concise technology overview books. We are usually faced with two options: read several 500+…

OOP – Learn Object Oriented Thinking and Programming

In this part you will hear the explanation what does it mean the object oriented programming, then we shall exploit the fact that the used development environment enables working in an interactive mode in which the user becomes one of the program objects and can communicate with other objects. In this mode I will show you the most important rules of cooperation with individual objects that crea…

Can Economic Growth Be Sustained

Yujiro Hayami and Vernon Ruttan worked well together; they did so because they had a profound respect for each other. That respect was the bridge to listening and thinking together in ways that allowed them to build an important theoretical perspective referred to as the “most widely accepted model used today both for understanding agricultural growth processes and as the basis for agricultur…

Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It?

The purpose of this book is to help you program shared-memory parallel machines without risking your sanity.1 We hope that this book’s design principles will help you avoid at least some parallel-programming pitfalls. That said, you should think of this book as a foundation on which to build, rather than as a completed cathedral. Your mission, if you choose to accept, is to help make further …

Building Innovative Teams

This book is based on my experiences of working within, and hands-on building of, innovative teams over the past 20 years. It also draws on the knowledge of executives, consultants and scholars, who have helped me develop and lead high performance innovative teams over those years. It gleans from the successes and indeed the deficiencies in real-world innovation programmes in some of the most c…

Perl and XML

XML is a text-based markup language that has taken the programming world by storm. More powerful than HTML yet less demanding than SGML, XML has proven itself to be flexible and resilient. XML is the perfect tool for formatting documents with even the smallest bit of complexity, from Web pages to legal contracts to books. However, XML has also proven itself to be indispensable for organizing an…
