Summary Before programmers can master Cocoa and write state-of-the-art software for Mac OS X, iPhone, or iPod touch, they must first understand the essentials of Objective-C. In this book, the world's leading Mac development trainers bring together all the knowledge programmers will need to program effectively with the latest version of this powerful language. The authors first review the basics of C, the language Objective-C is based on. Next, they systematically introduce today's best practices for object-oriented programming with Objective-C 2.0. Coverage includes: classes, objects, methods, data types, expressions, program control, inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic typing, preprocessing, and much more. Readers will learn how to make the most of both underlying C features and Apple's powerful Foundation classes; how to avoid memory leaks and other common problems; and much more. This title is part of the brand-new Big Nerd Ranch Press series: the world's best books on Mac and iPhone development, straight from the world's #1 Mac programming trainers - Aaron Hillegass and Big Nerd Ranch!

Audience

Summary This is the first authoritative, comprehensive compilation of code-level requirements for building secure systems in Java. Organized by CERT's pioneering software security experts, with support from Oracle's own Java platform developers, it covers every facet of secure software coding with Java 7 SE and Java 6 SE, and offers value even to developers working with other Java versions. The authors itemize the most common coding errors leading to vulnerabilities in Java programs, and provide specific guidelines for avoiding each of them. They show how to produce programs that are not only secure, but also safer, more reliable, more robust, and easier to maintain. After a high-level introduction to Java application security, eighteen consistently-organized chapters detail specific guidelines for each facet of Java development. Each set of guidelines defines conformance, presents both noncompliant examples and corresponding compliant solutions, shows how to assess risk, and offers references for further information. To limit this book's size, the authors focus on "normative requirements": strict rules for what programmers must do for their work to be secure, as defined by conformance to specific standards that can be tested through automated analysis software. (Note: A follow-up book will present "non-normative requirements": recommendations for what Java developers typically "should" do to further strengthen program security beyond testable "requirements.")

Author(s) Expertise Fred Long (UK) is Senior Lecturer and Director of Learning and Teaching at Aberystwyth University's Department of Computer Science, and SEI Visiting Scientist. Dhruv Mohindra (India), Senior Software Engineer at Persistent Systems Ltd., develops enterprise server monitoring software. Robert C. Seacord (Pittsburgh, PA) manages CERT's Secure Coding Initiative, and is adjunct professor at CMU's School of Computer Science. Dean F. Sutherland (Pittsburgh, PA), Senior Software Security Researcher at CERT, spent 14 years as a software engineer at Tartan, Inc.

Summary After fifteen years, the field of design patterns is still missing a critical element: a foundation. By definition, the content of design patterns is abstract. As a result, design patterns are difficult for many to grasp well - especially for inexperienced programmers and students. While many professionals who could benefit from patterns admit that they don't fully understand them, many others don't understand patterns nearly as well as they imagine they do - resulting in systems that aren't designed as well as they should be. In Elemental Design Patterns , IBM researcher Jason McC. Smith offers the missing foundation that software practitioners need to utilize patterns far more effectively. Smith introduces a foundational layer of patterns terminology: a collection of core patterns that can't be decomposed further. He presents these underlying basic concepts of programming clearly and concisely, in the same format as the classic "Gang of Four" patterns - thereby offering a taxonomy that virtually any developer can understand and apply. Elemental Design Patterns helps practitioners grasp the context of patterns, comprehend their true power, and map them to actual software implementations more cleanly and directly. Part tutorial, part example-rich cookbook, it will help developers gain a deeper appreciation for what they do and successfully utilize patterns with a wide variety of languages, environments, and domains

Author(s) Expertise Jason McC. Smith (Hawthorne, NY) is a software researcher at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, where he focuses on advancing software engineering practice, numerical analysis of physical models, static and dynamic objectoriented languages, OO programming language theory, and design pattern interaction with dynamic languages. With David Stotts, he is author of IntentOriented Design Pattern Formalization Using SPQR . He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Computer Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as two patents.

Audience For all software engineers, programmers, software designers, architects, systems analysts, and students who want a deeper understanding of patterns and more effective ways to apply them.

Summary Products, technologies, and workplaces change so quickly today that everyone is continually learning. Many of us are also teaching, even when it's not in our job descriptions. Whether it's giving a presentation, writing documentation, or creating a website or blog, we need and want to share our knowledge with other people. But if you've ever fallen asleep over a boring textbook, or fastforwarded through a tedious e-learning exercise, you know that creating a great learning experience is harder than it seems. In Design For How People Learn, you'll discover how to use the key principles behind learning, memory, and attention to create materials that enable your audience to both gain and retain the knowledge and skills you're sharing. Using accessible visual metaphors and concrete methods and examples, Design For How People Learn will teach you how to leverage the fundamental concepts of instructional design both to improve your own learning and to engage your audience.

Summary Unlike other web content books that are long-winded and filled with technical details on web development and design, Writing for the Web focuses on what all web writers need to know to build effective web content using words, pictures, and sound. Instructor/writer Lynda Felder uses easy-to-follow passages accompanied by lists, tables, photographs, and other visuals to illustrate the key concepts behind writing non-Linear, interactive stories; writing succinct and clear copy; and working compelling images, motion graphics, and sound into your content. This book focuses on storytelling techniques that work best for digital media. It describes skills and tools a web author might consider carrying in her toolbox, including a sound understanding of grammar and style, a critical eye for photography, and an ear for just the right sound byte for a podcast. It offers practical suggestions to begin immediately creating web content. This book's emphasis is on storytelling and critical thinking, rather than technical know-how. Many books explain how to use software programs to produce websites, podcasts, and illustrations. But there isn't a book that explains when and why an author might choose an illustration over a photograph, motion graphics over text, or a slice of Beethoven's Fifth over the sound of a bubbling brook. This slim, succinct, clearly written guide fills that gap-providing a fun and practical approach that busy students and writers will be eager to learn and explore.

Author(s) Expertise Lynda Felder (Minneapolis, MN) has been writing digital content professionally since the Internet's inception. She has been teaching courses on web writing at Platt College School of Design since 2006. She is also a senior technical editor for Qualcomm (http://www.qualcomm.com/), where she writes user guides, lab procedures, and other instructional content; and is a principal consultant for Creative Momentum (http://www.creativemomentum.net/), where she writes and designs technical guides, print materials, and web content.

Audience Students of all ages who want to learn to create compelling web content. Bloggers and writers who are tech-savvy, and are familiar with design--most would consider themselves artists rather than programmers. The book should also appeal to writing instructors, including non-traditional college writing teachers.

Summary Hackerspaces are emerging as one of this generation's most exciting technical and cultural phenomena. Wikipedia defines them as "open community labs incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops, and/or studios where hackers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things." The breadth of projects they're hosting is mind-boggling - from sandwich-making robots to homebrew DNA sequencers. "Do it yourself" hackers launched the personal computer revolution in the 1970s: this new generation of hackers may have a comparable impact in fields far beyond computing. Hack This is a glorious, immersive, full-color tour of the new world of hackerspaces: what they are, who runs them, what they're building, and what motivates their passionate participants. John Baichtal, founding member of the Twin Cities Maker hackerspace, takes you inside 24 hackerspace projects, describing them through the thoughts and words of their creators. The projects he profiles range from weather balloons to musical instruments and interactive Christmas trees. Each is illuminated with several pages of photos, illustrations, and text - so readers can see for themselves, and even follow the directions to re-create or improve each project on their own. Baichtal offers practical guidance on tools; additional sources of information and (where needed) software code; and even practical step-by-step guidance for launching a new hackerspace of one's own.

Author(s) Expertise John Baichtal (Minneapolis, MI) is founding member of Twin Cities Maker, a hackerspace that has been collaborating for almost two years.
