Title : Mastering React Native Edition : Year : 2017 Authors :  Eric Masiello,  Jacob Friedmann Publisher : Packt Preface React Native is a library for creating mobile applications using familiar web technologies  without sacrificing performance or the look and feel typically associated with fully native  applications. It is built on top of Facebook’s open source JavaScript library, React, and  indeed, iOS and Android applications created using the library are primarily written in  JavaScript. Because one does not need to learn new languages, ecosystems, and best  practices for each platform they work on, React Native is pushing the boundaries of what is  possible for React developers. In this book, we will look at the fundamental concepts of React and React Native, as well as  the libraries and tools within the React Native ecosystem. We will also work towards the  more practical goal of creating a complete React Native a...

Title : Mastering Unity Shaders and Effects Edition :  Year : 2016 Authors : Jamie Dean Publisher : Packt Preface Unity offers a range of tools to get your game project up and running. In version 5, the  shaders got a significant upgrade, mostly being replaced with a set of Standard Shaders that  can be easily set up to emulate the physical characteristics of real surfaces.  In this book, we will be exploring the options made possible with this new set of shaders  and how they interact with lighting and effects in the game scene to produce high quality  results. It has been a long journey towards this level of realism in games. For a long time, the  processing overhead of real-time lighting made it problematic. The burden of realism was  placed squarely on the texture artist who had to bake static surface effects into the textures  of characters and props. Particularly with dynamic game objects such as characters, th...

Title : Android Design Patterns and Best Practice Edition :  Year : 2016 Authors : Kyle Mew Publisher : Packt Preface Welcome to Android Design Patterns and Best Practice, a comprehensive guide to how to get  the most out of your apps with the tried and tested programming philosophy, design  patterns. These patterns provide a logical and elegant approach to solving many of the  development problems that coders face. These patterns act as a guide creating a clear path  from problem to solution, and although applying a design pattern does not guarantee best  practice in itself, it will hugely assist the process and make the discovery of design flaws far  easier. Design patterns can be implemented on very many platforms and written in as many  programming languages. Some code libraries even apply patterns as part of their internal  mechanics, and many readers will already be familiar with the Java Observer and Observable...

Title : Python High Performance Edition : 2nd edition Year : 2017 Authors :  Gabriele Lanaro Publisher : Packt Preface The Python programming language has seen a huge surge in popularity in recent years,  thanks to its intuitive, fun syntax, and its vast array of top-quality third-party libraries.  Python has been the language of choice for many introductory and advanced university  courses as well as for numerically intense fields, such as the sciences and engineering. Its  primary applications also lies in machine learning, system scripting, and web applications. The reference Python interpreter, CPython, is generally regarded as inefficient when  compared to lower-level languages, such as C, C++, and Fortran. CPython’s poor  performance lies in the fact that the program instructions are processed by an interpreter  rather than being compiled to efficient machine code. While using an interpreter has several  advantages, ...

Title : Software Architecture with Python Edition :  Year : 2017 Authors : Anand Balachendran Pillai Publisher : Packt Preface Software architecture, or creating a blueprint design for a particular software  application, is not a walk in the park. The two biggest challenges in software  architecture are keeping the architecture in sync, first with the requirements as they are  uncovered or evolve, and next with the implementation as it gets built and evolves. Filled with examples and use cases, this guide takes a direct approach to helping you  with everything it takes to become a successful software architect. This book will  help you understand the ins and outs of Python so that you can architect and design  highly scalable, robust, clean, and performant applications in Python.

Title : Web Scraping with Python Edition :  Year : 2015 Authors : Richard Lawson Publisher :  Packt Preface The Internet contains the most useful set of data ever assembled, which is largely  publicly accessible for free. However, this data is not easily reusable. It is embedded  within the structure and style of websites and needs to be extracted to be useful.  This process of extracting data from web pages is known as web scraping and is  becoming increasingly useful as ever more information is available online. What this book covers Chapter 1, Introduction to Web Scraping, introduces web scraping and explains ways to  crawl a website. Chapter 2, Scraping the Data, shows you how to extract data from web pages. Chapter 3, Caching Downloads, teaches you how to avoid redownloading by  caching results. Chapter 4, Concurrent Downloading, helps you to scrape data faster by downloading  in parallel. Chapter 5, Dynamic...

Title : AngularJS Test-driven Development Edition :  Year : 2015 Authors : Tim Chaplin Publisher :  Packt Preface The book will provide the reader with a complete guide to the test-driven  development (TDD) approach for AngularJS. It will provide step-by-step, clear  examples to continually reinforce TDD best practices. The book will look at both  unit testing with Karma and end-to-end testing with Protractor. It will not only focus  on how to use the tools, but also on understanding the reason they were built, and  why they should be used. Throughout, there will be focus on when, where, and  how to use these tools, constantly reinforcing the principles of the TDD life cycle  (test, execute, refactor).

Title : Go Programming Blueprints Edition :  Year : 2015 Authors :  Mat Ryer Publisher :  Packt Preface I decided to write Go Programming Blueprints because I wanted to expel the myth that  Go, being a relatively young language and community, is a bad choice for writing  and iterating on software quickly. I have a friend who knocks out complete Ruby  on Rails apps in a weekend by mashing up pre-existing gems and libraries; Rails  as a platform has become known for enabling rapid development. Since I do the  same with Go and the ever-growing buffet of open source packages, I wanted to  share some real-world examples of how we can quickly build and release software  that performs great from day one and is ready to scale when our projects take off  in a way that Rails cannot compete with. Of course, most scalability happens outside  the language, but features like Go's built-in concurrency mean you can get some v...

Title : Procedural Content Generation for Unity Game Development Edition :  Year : 2016 Authors :  Ryan Watkins Publisher :  Packt Preface This book is an introduction to Procedural Content Generation (PCG) and how it can  be applied in the popular game engine, Unity3D. PCG is a powerful programming  practice that is trending in modern video games. Though PCG is not a new practice,  it has become even more powerful as technology has advanced and it looks to be a  prominent component of future video games.  Throughout the course of this book, we will be learning the basis of procedural  content generation, including theory and practice. You will start by learning what  PCG is and what its uses are. You will then move into learning about pseudo  random numbers and how they work with PCG to create unique gameplay.  After your introduction to PCG, you will dive in and build the core functionality of  a 2D R...

Title : Professional CSS3 Edition :  Year : 2016 Authors :  Piotr Sikora Publisher :  Packt Preface CSS is often perceived as a simple language.
