Raspberry Pi with Java: Programming the Internet of Things (IoT) fills an important gap in knowledge between seasoned Java developers and embedded-hardware gurus, taking a project-based approach to skills development from which both hobbyists and professionals can learn. By starting with simple projects based on open-source libraries such as Pi4J, hobbyists can get immediate results without a significant investment in time or hardware. Later projects target simplified industrial use cases where professionals can start to apply their skills to practical problems in the fields of home automation, healthcare, and robotics. This progression prepares you to be an active participant in the IoT revolution that is reshaping our lives.For the hobbyist: Hardware used in projects is affordable and easily accessibleFollows a project-based learning approach with a gradual learning curveProjects are based on open-source code repositories with commercial friendly licensesFor the professional computer engineer: Uses an industry-standard platform that allows for high performance, secure, production-ready applicationsIntroduces Java SE Embedded for large devices and Java ME Embedded for small devicesCode is portable to a wide variety of ARM and MIPS based platformsProvides practical skill development with advanced projects in the fields of home automation, healthcare, and robotics

This book addresses the presentation of the Shi?a in the extant theological-doxographical literature of Iraq up to the early fourth century of Islam. Understanding doxographies primarily as textual products of third-century kalam circles, it provides historians with a more thorough account of the likely provenance and transmission of this important body of source material, as well as of the particular images of the early Shi?a it constructs.

This book shows you how to harness the power of J2EE, and examines how the pieces of the new J2EE 5 platform fit together. The authors surpass merely explaining how to code a JSP or an EJB; instead, they compare these APIs at length for your ultimate benefit. You will come to learn when and where to use these APIs, employ best practices for using them, and understand their strengths and weaknesses. Hands-on tutorials are also included, along with clear explanations and working code examples. You will grow to take the next step—from writing client-side desktop applications to writing enterprise applications. You will also learn how to use the individual APIs and tools in the J2EE platform, and how to merge these to create your own enterprise applications.

This book is aimed at programmers who have learned the basics of Java from, for example, Beginning Java 1.4: From Novice to Professional, and are now ready to learn how to use Java in the real world, with J2EE. But, J2EE is a big spec, and the target audience is not interested in Enterprise JavaBeans and other advanced specs within J2EE. In fact, 75% of J2EE applications are built using only JavaServer Pages and Servlets (two of the simpler technologies to learn in J2EE), so these are the areas that the audience is particularly interested in.
