Master Android from first principles and begin the journey toward your own successful Android applications!
Dear Reader,
First, welcome to the world of Android! We’re entering a new era of mobile application development, one marked by open platforms and open source, to take ‘walled gardens’ and make them green houses for any and all to participate in. Android is relatively easy for developers, and I believe that this innovation will help generate a large ecosystem of developers and consumers within a very short time. This means that budding developers such as yourself will have many opportunities to design and build your own applications and you’ll have a huge and hungry customer base.
Second, welcome to the book! Its purpose is to start you on your way with building Android applications, and to help you master the learning curve. Android is already a rich framework, comparable in many ways to the richness Android of desktop Java environments. This means that there is a lot of cool stuff for you to pick up along your journey in order to create the slickest, most useful apps Android you can imagine.
The source code for the code samples in this book is all available from the Apress site, so you can stay as hands-on and practical as you like while I introduce you to the core of Android, and invite you to experiment with the various classes and APIs we’ll be looking at. By the time you’ve finished this book, you’ll be creating your own Android applications and asking yourself what your next great application will be…!
Enjoy!

Данный текст является переводом на русский язык описания одного из самых популярных стандартов постановки процесса разработки программного обеспечения (ПО).
Я публикую книгу на своем сайте в открытом доступе для того, чтобы все интересующиеся данным вопросом могли прочитать ее и получить необходимую информацию совершенно свободно и бесплатно. Причина в том, что те методики, которые описаны в данном стандарте, как я считаю, просто обязаны взять на вооружение те разработчики ПО, которые этим занимаются серьёзно. По крайней мере, это касается 2-го и 3-го уровней CMM, так как применение этих практик дает существенное повышение в производительности и устойчивости процесса разработки ПО.

The Windows Driver Model has two separate but equally important aspects. First, the core model describes the standard structure for device drivers. Second, Microsoft provides a series of bus and class drivers for common types of devices.
The core WDM model describes how device drivers are installed and started, and how they should service user requests and interact with hardware. A WDM device driver must fit into the Plug and Play (PnP) system that lets users plug in devices that can be configured in software.
Microsoft provides a series of system drivers that have all the basic functionality needed to service many standard types of device. The first type of system driver supports different types of bus, such as the Universal Serial Bus (USB), IEEE 1394 (FireWire) and Audio port devices. Other class drivers implement standard Windows facilities such as Human Input Devices (HID) and kernel streaming. Finally, the Still Image Architecture (STI) provides a framework for handling still images, scanners, etc.
These system class drivers can make it significantly easier to write some types of device driver. For example, the USB system drivers handle all the low-level communications across this bus. A well defined interface is made available to other drivers. This makes it fairly straightforward to issue requests to the USB bus.

Автор книги — американский специалист по программированию, один из руководителей фирмы IBM, в своей книге делает попытку изложить общие проблемы создания программного обеспечения, его сопровождения и использования. Особенно подробно рассматриваются все фазы разработки программ разных типов. Изложение ясное, удачно иллюстрировано примерами.
Для программистов разной квалификации и пользователей ЭВМ.

With this practical book, you will attain a solid understanding of threads and will discover how to put this powerful mode of programming to work in real-world applications.
The primary advantage of threaded programming is that it enables your applications to accomplish more than one task at the same time by using the number-crunching power of multiprocessor parallelism and by automatically exploiting I/O concurrency in your code, even on a single processor machine. The result: applications that are faster, more responsive to users, and often easier to maintain. Threaded programming is particularly well suited to network programming where it helps alleviate the bottleneck of slow network I/O.
This book offers an in-depth description of the IEEE operating system interface standard, POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface) threads, commonly called Pthreads. Written for experienced C programmers, but assuming no previous knowledge of threads, the book explains basic concepts such as asynchronous programming, the lifecycle of a thread, and synchronization. You then move to more advanced topics such as attributes objects, thread-specific data, and realtime scheduling. An entire chapter is devoted to "real code," with a look at barriers, read/write locks, the work queue manager, and how to utilize existing libraries. In addition, the book tackles one of the thorniest problems faced by thread programmers-debugging-with valuable suggestions on how to avoid code errors and performance problems from the outset.
Numerous annotated examples are used to illustrate real-world concepts. A Pthreads mini-reference and a look at future standardization are also included.

В книге прослеживается история и эволюция компьютерного мира, которую можно условно разделить на несколько периодов: период, предшествующий компьютерной эпохе; период создания первых компьютеров и появления первых языков программирования; период становления и развития компьютерной индустрии, возникновения компьютерных систем и сетей; период создания объектно-ориентированных языков программирования и новых компьютерных технологий. Каждая из глав книги посвящена отдельному периоду, изобретателям, конструкторам и программистам — архитекторам компьютерного мира.
