What will data management technologies look like in ten years? While the future’s difficult to predict, this book provides students, researchers and professionals alike with a brief and engaging look at one prescient trend: the convergence of search and database technologies. This convergence has given rise to a new breed of non-relational (’NoSQL’) databases and data stores, and to a new generation of search engines that share characteristics with both non-relational and relational databases. It is this new type of engine that supports Search Based Applications (SBAs), which are software applications built on a search rather than database backbone. SBAs offer a pragmatic way to solve both well-known and emerging information management challenges as of now, while shedding light on what tomorrow’s information systems might look like. Table of Contents: Search Based Applications / Evolving Business Information Access Needs / Origins and Histories / Data Models and Storage / Data Collection/Population / Data Processing / Data Retrieval / Data Security, Usability, Performance, Cost / Summary Evolutions and Convergences / SBA Platforms / SBA Uses and Preconditions / Anatomy of a Search Based Application / Case Study: GEFCO / Case Study: Urbanizer / Case Study: National Postal Agency / Future Directions Download ebook: Search-Based Applications: At the Confluence of Search and Database Technologies (Synthesis Lectures on Information Concepts, Retrieval, and Services) If you liked this post, buy me a beer.

Pro Java ME Apps gives you, the developer, the know-how required for writing sophisticated Java ME applications and for taking advantage of this huge potential market. Java ME is the largest mobile software platform in the world, supported by over 80% of all phones. You’ll cover what Java ME is and how it compares to other mobile software platforms, how to properly design and structure Java ME applications, how to think like an experienced Java ME developer, what common problems and pitfalls you may run into, how to optimize your code, and many other key topics. Unlike other Java ME books out there, which only teach the reader the basics of Java ME by way of a few simple examples, this book presents a broader, eagle-eye picture of a complete Java ME application and what writing one involves. From there, the book presents, explains, and helps you to implement all the essential aspects of Java ME development, from the user interface to client-server communication. As this unfolds, the decisions and reasoning behind the code are also presented. The book assumes that the reader is already familiar with Java ME and Java applications in general. Based on and geared towards real-life Java ME scenarios Guides the reader through the entire process of developing a high-quality Java ME application Explains the decisions made at each step, gives advice and examples of good practices vs. bad practices What you’ll learn What makes mobile software different from desktop software How to design and implement your Java ME application What the most common problems affecting Java ME development (such as device fragmentation) and how to solve them What are the proper Java ME programming techniques and how to think like an experienced Java ME developer How to optimize your code How to develop store-quality apps Who this book is for Intermediate to advanced Java ME developers looking to learn proper Java ME development. Mobile developers looking for a good source of information regarding proper mobile application development Table of Contents Getting Started A Java ME Framework Defining Our Data The Networking Module The Persistence Module The UI Module The Localization Module Putting It All Together Device Fragmentation Optimizing Your Code Adding Fine Touches and User Interaction Improvements Java ME Application Testing Advanced Java ME Graphics The Proper Java ME Mindset Java ME and the Future Final Words Download ebook: Pro Java ME Apps: Building Commercial Quality Java ME Apps If you liked this post, buy me a beer.
