Instant Play Framework Starter. Build your web applications from the ground up with the Play Framework for Java and Scala

Daniel Dietrich

Play is a full-featured Java and Scala web framework for building modern, high-performance web applications. It is characterized by its simplicity and scalability. With its lightweight, stateless, and web-friendly architecture, Play focuses on developer experience to make web application development fun.Instant Play Framework Starter is the ideal companion to start developing web applications with Play. The building blocks of a typical web application are carefully designed following an on-going example.Instant Play Framework Starter starts with a quick setup and running a first sample. Then, the anatomy of a typical Play application is outlined. More features are added step by step to an example application. The result is the prototype of a highly scalable web application.The example is implemented in Java and in Scala. It consists of building blocks you will find in every Play application. In particular, you will learn how views are rendered with the template engine, how HTTP routes are used to define the navigation rules, and how to separate the application logic of controllers from the business logic of the model. This separation is the result of a careful application design, which makes it easy to add features like data binding and validation. Finally you will see how easy it is to adapt different database access libraries.Instant Play Framework Starter will help you to get started with Play and develop your first application. Packed with examples, it is easy to follow the design of a real-world application. You are able to compare the difference between a Java- and a Scala-based Play application and to decide which language fits your needs best. All topics covered in the book are described with the aim to serve as a reference for future web application development with Play.

Inteligentne algorytmy

Artur Bieliński

Książka Inteligentne algorytmy obala całą stworzoną w XVIII i XIX wieku teorię gry w szachy. Przeciętny szachista w XVIII grając codziennie 5 partii przez 30 lat rozgrywa  30 * 365 *5 = 54750 partii (55 tysięcy partii), a program komputerowy do gry w szachy Turniej 2na2 już obliczając pierwszy ruch rozgrywa 197281 początków partii, a podczas całej liczącej na przykład 100 ruchów partii w ciągu godziny rozgrywa 20 do 30 milionów wariantów rozgrywanej partii. Doświadczenia kombinacji szachowych gromadzone podczas udanej gry z programem, który wykrywa nawet pojedyńczą ścieżkę do sukcesu w zakresie przewidywania czterech ruchów, podnoszą grę w szachy na nowy poziom. Nie jest to sformułowane poetycko ale faktycznie gra z programem Turniej 2na2 podnosi poziom gry w szachy, a program do gry w warcaby Turniej Warcabowy potrafi rozgrywać zaskakująco inteligentne końcówki partii, które uznalibyśmy już za zremisowane. Artur Bieliński Jestem autorem 2 programów do gry w szachy i 6 programów do gry w warcaby: Kalkulator Szachowy 2na2 (V.10 2010, V.1.1 2010/2011) Turniej poziom 2na2 (V.1.1 2011) Turniej Warcabowy - warcaby 64 polowe (V.1.0 2013) Quiz Warcabowy - warcaby 64 polowe (V.1.0 2013) Turniej Wariantowy Warcabowy - warcaby 64 polowe (V.1.0 2013) Turniej Warcabowy - warcaby 100 polowe (V.1.0 2013) Quiz Warcabowy - warcaby 100 polowe (V.1.0 2013) Turniej Wariantowy Warcabowy - warcaby 100 polowe (V.1.0 2013) Aktualnie programy prezentowane są na stronie https://www.gryiszachy.hitowy.pl Pisaniem programów zajmuję się od 8 roku życia: asembler Z80, ZX81 (pisanie gier i udział w konkursie Klubu Abakus ), ATARI 800XL, asembler 6502 (program do komponowania muzyki prezentowany w 1987r w Krajowej Agencji Wydawniczej), XT, AT286, AT386 (program do projektowania krzyżówek 1993r, po jednym ogłoszeniu otrzymałem zamówienia z całego świata), Pentium; języki asembler 8086, 80286, 80C51, 68HC11, Pascal, C++, Delphi Pascal, C#, oraz inne (JavaScript, HTML, PHP, SQL, CSS) Program Turniej do gry w szachy realizuje algorytm funkcji decyzyjnych i powstał w wyniku rozegrania ponad 200 partii podczas pisania programu i gra tak jak człowiek, natomiast program Turniej do gry w warcaby realizuje inteligentny algorytm maksymalizacji zysku dla 4, 6 lub 8 warstw. Pisanie programów do gry w szachy rozpoczynałem od opracowania kalkulatora szachowego dla 4 ruchów, który wykrywa stan partii: wygraną, remis lub porażkę, oraz potrafi zasymulować i ocenić 4 ruchy w przód, przy czym inteligencja algorytmu polega na umiejętności klasyfikacji ruchów na kategorie: ruchy prowadzące do sukcesu, ruchy przybliżające do sukcesu, ruchy prowadzące do remisu, ruchy przybliżające do remisu, ruchy bez porażki, ruchy ze ścieżką ucieczki przed porażką, ruchy z możliwą porażką i ruchy z pewną porażką. Następnie powstał program Turniej do gry w szachy który wykonuje sam ruchy i może grać: aby wygrać, aby wygrać lub zremisować, lub aby koniecznie zremisować, ponadto program posiada 3 sposoby remisowania w końcówce w tym najatrakcyjniejszy: decyduj się na remis dopiero gdy tracisz możliwość zremisowania.
