Today's Android apps developers are often running into the need to refine, improve and optimize their apps performances. As more complex apps can be created, it is even more important for developers to deal with this critical issue. Android allows developers to write apps using Java, C or a combination of both with the Android SDK and the Android NDK. Pro Android Apps Performance Optimization reveals how to fine-tune your Android apps, making them more stable and faster. In this book, you'll learn the following: How to optimize your Java code with the SDK, but also how to write and optimize native code using advanced features of the Android NDK such as using ARM single instruction multiple d...
Want to build apps for Android devices? This book is the perfect way to master the fundamentals. Written by an expert who's taught this mobile platform to hundreds of developers in large organizations, this gentle introduction shows experienced object-oriented programmers how to use Android’s basic building blocks to create user interfaces, store data, connect to the network, and more. You'll build a Twitter-like application throughout the course of this book, adding new features with each chapter. Along the way, you'll also create your own toolbox of code patterns to help you program any type of Android application with ease. Get an overview of the Android platform and discover how it fit...
Für Android-Smartphones zu programmieren ist eine feine Sache: Entwickelt wird in Java, das können sowieso viele, Googles Android Market ist im Gegensatz zu Apples App Store keinen Kontrollen durch das Unternehmen unterworfen, und man kann seine Apps sowieso auch über andere, eigene Kanäle vertreiben. Allerdings ist die Android-Plattform komplex. Der Linux-Kern, die eigene Virtual Machine namens Dalvik, die Anwendungsschicht, all die Interfaces, Adapter und Dienste.... Auch ein erfahrener Java-Entwickler kann da gut einen Wegweiser durch den Dschungel gebrauchen. Marko Gargenta ist erfahrener Android-Trainer und begleitet den Leser auf seinen ersten Schritten der Android-Entwicklung bis hin zu den echten professionellen Anwendungsfällen.
Annotation In a virtual sea of Android apps, the key to survival in the form of user engagement, referrals and purchases is simple: performance and perceived speed. But building a high performance app isn't easy in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment where new devices, platforms and development tools are announced almost daily. This practical guide provides tools and tips that will help you take app performance to a new level.
This volume summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of HIV-1 latency, in characterizing residual viral reservoirs, and in developing targeted interventions to reduce HIV-1 persistence during antiretroviral therapy. Specific chapters address the molecular mechanisms that govern and regulate HIV-1 transcription and latency; assays and technical approaches to quantify viral reservoirs in humans and animal models; the complex interchange between viral reservoirs and the host immune system; computational strategies to model viral reservoir dynamics; and the development of therapeutic approaches that target viral reservoir cells. With contributions from an interdisciplinary group of investigators that cover a broad spectrum of subjects, from molecular virology to proof-of-principle clinical trials, this book is a valuable resource for basic scientists, translational investigators, infectious-disease physicians, individuals living with HIV/AIDS and the general public.

An illustrated depiction of Steve Jobs' friendship with Zen Buddhist Kobun Chino Otogawa and the impact it had on Jobs' career Apple cofounder Steve Jobs (1955-2011) had such an enormous impact on so many people that his life often took on aspects of myth. But much of his success was due to collaboration with designers, engineers and thinkers. The Zen of Steve Jobs tells the story of Jobs' relationship with one such person: Kobun Chino Otogawa. Kobun was a Zen Buddhist priest who emigrated to the U.S. from Japan in the early 1970s. He was an innovator, lacked appreciation for rules and was passionate about art and design. Kobun was to Buddhism as Jobs was to the computer business: a renegade...
