This book is great for developers who are new to Qt and Qt Creator and who are interested in harnessing the power of Qt for cross-platform development. If you have basic experience programming in C++, you have what it takes to create engaging cross-platform applications using Qt and Qt Creator!

Geospatial mapping applications have become hugely popular in recent years. With smart-phone and tablet numbers snow-balling this trend looks set to continue well into the future. Indeed, it is true to say that in today’s mobile world location-aware apps are becoming the norm rather than the exception.In Microsoft Mapping author Ray Rischpater showcases Microsoft's Bing Maps API and demonstrates how its integration features make it by far the strongest mapping candidate for business that are already using Windows 8 or the .NET Framework. Whether you want to build a new app from scratch of add a few modest geospatial features to your existing website Ray's carefully chosen examples will provide you with both the inspiration and the code you need to achieve your goals.

While media buzz regularly circulates around iPhone and Android, Nokia still leads the pack in terms of world market share. Symbian, for instance, remains the most widely used mobile operating system. With Nokia's open development platform, the opportunities available for mobile developers to target this vastly popular operating system are abundant and clear. Use Qt to target both platforms: Symbian, the most widely used mobile operating system in the world, as well as MeeGo, the Intel/Nokia platform for mobile devices. Develop HTML5 applications for both Symbian and MeeGo platforms that will run with little modification on other mobile platforms. Novice developers learn the basics of Qt with a mobile slant, giving them the ability to target both desktop and mobile platforms.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE to have a piece of the action involving one of today’s largest online marketplaces? Perhaps you’ve got an idea for an innovative electronic storefront, but don’t want to build the back end or try to build the marketing campaign you need to attract the millions of users that you know you’ll please. Or maybe you’re looking to integrate your enterprise with an existing e-tailer. Or perhaps you have another idea altogether, and just need the customers to support it. Look no further than eBay. With the eBay Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) and lower-level Web-based Application Programming Interface (API), you can craft applications that tap eBay’s vast product, server, and customer resources. Your application can be hosted on a Web server, your customers’ desktop workstations, or on the latest mobile gadgets such as a Personal Digital Assistant or smart phone. eBay Application Development shows you how to do just that. After reading this book, you’ll understand what the eBay interfaces provide through both their SDK and their API; how you can partner with eBay to design, develop, certify, and deploy your application; and most important, the technical nuts-and-bolts behind actually writing applications that use both the SDK and API. Ur innehållet: Introducing the eBay Software Platform.- Reviewing the Fundamentals.- Managing Users with the eBay SDK.- Managing Items with the eBay SDK.- Using the Integration Library.- Reviewing Internet Programming (HTTP and XML).- Introducing the eBay API.- Using the eBay API.

Software Development for the QUALCOMM BREW Platform provides a soup-to-nuts examination of what it takes to design, develop, and deploy commercially viable applications for the QUALCOMM BREW platform. This new platform for wireless development is the solutions for delivering video and color games onto cell phones as you have seen in television advertisements. QUALCOMM Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW) is a development platform that allows software developers to create applications that operate on all handsets that utilize the QUALCOMM CDMA chipsets. With over a million BREW-enabled handsets having shipped in the first year of BREW's availability and successful deployment with both a major domestic carrier (Verizon Wireless, with over five million subscribers) and overseas carriers (Telesp and KTF, with other carriers presently running trials with BREW), BREW is poised to become an important player in the wireless handset space. BREW offers a number of key advantages over other software environments for today's handsets to both carriers and software developers, including secure application licensing, integrated billing for application purchases, and down-to-the-metal APIs for high-performance applications including multimedia and gaming applications. Software Development for the QUALCOMM BREW Platform will begin with an introduction to BREW and how it differs from its competitors (J2ME, Palm OS, Symbian, and Pocket PC Phone Edition). After this orientation, the reader learns about what it takes to develop applications for BREW - not just development tools, but the methodology required to bring an application to a carrier for distribution.

Wireless Web Development , Second Edition, provides a substantial business and engineering background for wireless developers, covering facets of wireless Web software development for today's mobile platforms. Today's wireless technologies - including wireless HTML, WAP 2.0, XML, Palm's WCA, and iMode - are discussed in detail, with examples of each. Moreover, Ray Rischpater places a special emphasis on the differences between the Web and the wireless Web, helping the reader understand the engineering and human interface issues that they must address when creating wireless Web applications. By providing details about technologies that have emerged since the first edition was written (iMode, the growing emphasis on XML in wireless, and WAP 2.0), as well as relegating to historical status those technologies that have failed the test of time (Microsoft Mobile Channels and HDML), the book improves on the first edition.

As web accessibility through wireless devices becomes increasingly popular, developers are challenged to maintain the high level of interactivity and flexibility that users are accustomed to on their PCs. Fortunately, the language tools used to create conventional web pages can also be implemented in the wireless arena. Rischpater's Wireless Web Development with PHP and WAP is a comprehensive guide to doing exactly this. It illustrates how one of the web's most popular scripting languages, PHP, can be used alongside the wireless web's standard languages, namely WML and WMLScript, to create truly dynamic and powerful wireless applications.
