Cross-Platform GUI Programming with wxWidgets (Bruce Perens' Open Source Series)

This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version. * Build advanced cross-platform applications that support native look-and-feel on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and even Pocket PC * Master wxWidgets from start to finish—even if you've never built GUI applications before * Leverage advanced wxWidgets capabilities: networking, multithreading, streaming, and more * CD-ROM: library of development tools, source code, and sample applications * Foreword by Mitch Kapor, founder, Lotus Development and Open Source Application Foundation wxWidgets is an easy-to-use, open source C++ API for writing GUI applications that run on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and even Pocket PC—supporting each platform's native look and feel with virtually no additional coding. Now, its creator and two leading developers teach you all you need to know to write robust cross-platform software with wxWidgets. This book covers everything from dialog boxes to drag-and-drop, from networking to multithreading. It includes all the tools and code you need to get great results, fast. From AMD to AOL, Lockheed Martin to Xerox, world-class developers are using wxWidgets to save money, increase efficiency, and reach new markets. With this book, you can, too. * wxWidgets quickstart: event/input handling, window layouts, drawing, printing, dialogs, and more * Working with window classes, from simple to advanced * Memory management, debugging, error checking, internationalization, and other advanced topics * Includes extensive code samples for Windows, Linux (GTK+), and Mac OS X "This book is the best way for beginning developers to learn wxWidgets programming in C++. It is a must-have for programmers thinking of using wxWidgets and those already using it." -Mitch Kapor, founder of Lotus Software and the Open Source Applications Foundation Build advanced cross-platform applications that support native look-and-feel on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and even Pocket PC Master wxWidgets from start to finish-even if you've never built GUI applications before Leverage advanced wxWidgets capabilities: networking, multithreading, streaming, and more CD-ROM: library of development tools, source code, and sample applications Foreword by Mitch Kapor, founder, Lotus Development and Open Source Application Foundation wxWidgets is an easy-to-use, open source C++ API for writing GUI applications that run on Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X, and even Pocket PC-supporting each platform's native look and feel with virtually no additional coding.

Test-Driven Development: A Practical Guide

David R. Astels

Foreword by Ron Jeffries

• The relentlessly practical TDD guide: real problems, real solutions, real code
• Includes a start-to-finish project written in Java and using JUnit
• Introduces TDD frameworks for C++, C#/.NET, Python, VB6, and more
• For every developer and project manager interested test-driven development

Make Test-Driven Development work for you!

Test-Driven Development: A Practical Guide enables developers to write software that's simpler, leaner, more reliable... just plain better.

Now, there's a TDD guide focused on real projects, real developers, real implementation challenges, and real code.

Renowned agile development expert Dave Astels shows TDD at work in a start-to-finish project written in Java and using the JUnit testing framework. You'll learn how test first works, why it works, what obstacles you'll encounter, and how to transform TDD's promise into reality.

• o Relentlessly practical! Full of downloadable code examples, hands-on exercises, and a fully hyperlinked version of the resources appendix
• o Introduces powerful TDD tools and techniques--including key JUnit extensions, presented by their creators (Scott Ambler, Tim Bacon, Mike Bowler, Mike Clark, Bryan Dollery, James Newkirk, Bob Payne, Kay Pentacost, and Jens Uwe Pipka)
• o Covers refactoring, programming by intention, mock objects, and much more
• o Discusses TDD frameworks for C++, C#/.NET, Python, VB6, Ruby, and Smalltalk
• o Introduces previously unpublished test-first techniques for GUI software
• o Contains appendices introducing eXtreme Programming and Agile Modeling
• o For all programmers and project managers

Read this book if you're ready to write code that's clearer, more robust, and easier to extend & maintain--in short, if you're ready to write better code!

the Problem Of Evaluating Feynman Integrals Over Loop Momenta Has Existed From The Early Days Of Perturbative Quantum Field Theory.

although A Great Variety Of Methods For Evaluating Feynman Integrals Has Been Developed Over A Span Of More Than Fifty Years, This Book Is A First Attempt To Summarize Them. 'evaluating Feynman Integrals' Characterizes The Most Powerful Methods, In Particular Those Used For Recent, Quite Sophisticated Calculations, And Then Illustrates Them With Numerous Examples, Starting From Very Simple Ones And Progressing To Nontrivial Examples.

Contrary to the accepted approach to testing, when you practice TDD you write tests for code before you write the code being tested. This text provides examples in Java The important mathematical problem of evaluating Feynman integrals arises quite naturally in elementary-particle physics when one treats various quantities in the framework of perturbation theory.
