javascript is a prototype-based scripting language that is dynamic, weakly typed and has first-class functions. It is a multi-paradigm language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles. javascript was formalized in the ECMAScript language standard and is primarily used in the form of client-side javascript, implemented as part of a Web browser in order to provide enhanced user interfaces and dynamic websites. This enables programmatic access to computational objects within a host environment.

An all-in-one tutorial for planning, developing, and launching iPhone and iPad apps
The number of applications in the Apple app store is growing at a staggering rate. Want to get in the game, but don't know iOS? With even little or no prior programming experience, you can learn the code necessary to build an app by following the how-to instructions in this book-and-video combo. Comprised of clear, no-nonsense lessons, the book walks you through each tutorial and then encourages you to work through simple exercises so that you can immediately apply what you just learned.

It’s been nearly 70 years since the close of the macabre story of the popular game, The 7th Quest. It seems that your girlfriend (Robin Morales, a television reporter) has gone back to the Stauf Mansion to investigate. In the meantime, you receive a package in the mail and realize that your love is about to come upon grave danger. Play as Carl Denning, the hero whose job it is to conquer the wicked spirit of legendary toy maker, Henry Stauf. Difficult puzzles and challenging quests will put your skills to the test. A feature-length, powerfully graphic video is woven throughout the game making this one of the most cinematically exciting games the renowned developers at Trilobite have created to date.

If youпїЅre looking to use the single-page application model to build your siteпїЅs frontend, Backbone.js is an ideal framework for the job. This practical guide provides all the information you need to create structured javascript applications using Backbone.js and its unique flavor of the model-view-controller (MVC) architecture.

It's true: you can build native apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone with C# and the .NET Framework--with help from MonoTouch and Mono for Android. This hands-on guide shows you how to reuse one codebase across all three platforms by combining the business logic layer of your C# app with separate, fully native UIs. It's an ideal marriage of platform-specific development and the "write once, run everywhere" philosophy.

The CPU meter shows the problem. One core is running at 100 percent, but all the other cores are idle. Your application is CPU-bound, but you are using only a fraction of the computing power of your multicore system. What next?

The answer, in a nutshell, is parallel programming. Where you once would have written the kind of sequential code that is familiar to all programmers, you now find that this no longer meets your performance goals. To use your systemпїЅs CPU resources efficiently, you need to split your application into pieces that can run at the same time. This is easier said than done. Parallel programming has a reputation for being the domain of experts and a minefield of subtle, hard-to-reproduce software defects.

Everyone seems to have a favorite story about a parallel program that did not behave as expected because of a mysterious bug. These stories should inspire a healthy respect for the difficulty of the problems you face in writing your own parallel programs. Fortunately, help has arrived. Microsoft Visual StudioпїЅ 2010 introduces a new programming model for parallelism that significantly simplifies the job. Behind the scenes are supporting libraries with sophisticated algorithms that dynamically distribute computations on multicore architectures. Proven design patterns are another source of help. A Guide to Parallel Programming introduces you to the most important and frequently used patterns of parallel programming and gives executable code samples for them, using the Task Parallel Library (TPL) and Parallel LINQ (PLINQ).

This guide began as a series of personal notes to help friends and acquaintances interested in applying to Y Combinator. Its main purpose is to illuminate the YC process and to equip you with ideas and approaches to bring out the best in your application. Read it as you would peruse extended notes from a long coffee meeting and then go use it to make your application stronger.

Based on the classic Hasbro naval combat game, Battleship is the story of an international fleet of ships who come across an alien armada whilst on a Naval war games exercise. An intense battle ensues over sea, land and air. What do they aliens - known as 'The Regents' - want?
