Analytics for the Internet of Things (IoT). Intelligent analytics for your intelligent devices
Andrew Minteer
We start with the perplexing task of extracting value from huge amounts of barely intelligible data. The data takes a convoluted route just to be on the servers for analysis, but insights can emerge through visualization and statistical modeling techniques. You will learn to extract value from IoT big data using multiple analytic techniques. Next we review how IoT devices generate data and how the information travels over networks. You’ll get to know strategies to collect and store the data to optimize the potential for analytics, and strategies to handle data quality concerns. Cloud resources are a great match for IoT analytics, so Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and PTC ThingWorx are reviewed in detail next. Geospatial analytics is then introduced as a way to leverage location information. Combining IoT data with environmental data is also discussed as a way to enhance predictive capability. We’ll also review the economics of IoT analytics and you’ll discover ways to optimize business value.By the end of the book, you’ll know how to handle scale for both data storage and analytics, how Apache Spark can be leveraged to handle scalability, and how R and Python can be used for analytic modeling.

AndEngine is a broad 2D game engine which allows game developers, both experienced and inexperienced, to develop games for the Android platform with ease. Don't be fooled by the simplicity, though. As easy as it is to “pick up and go,” AndEngine includes enough functionality to bring any type of 2D game world to life.The AndEngine for Android Game Development Cookbook contains all of the necessary information and examples in order to build the games as you imagine them. The book's recipes will walk you through the various aspects of game design with AndEngine and provides detailed instructions on how to achieve some of the most desirable effects for your games.The AndEngine for Android Game Development Cookbook begins with detailed information on some of the more useful structuring techniques in game design and general aspects of resource management. Continuing on, the book will begin to discuss AndEngine entities, including sprites, text, meshes, and more. Everything from positioning, to modifiers, and even tips on improving entity functionality with raw OpenGL capabilities. From here on, everything from applying physics to your game, working with multi-touch events and gestures, game optimization, and even an overview of the various AndEngine extensions will be covered.The book has a widerange of recipes, from saving and loading game data, applying parallax backgrounds to create a seemingly 3D world, relying on touch events to zoom the game camera, taking screen-shots of the device's screen, and performance optimization using object pools. If physics-based games are more interesting to you, there's also a list of recipes ranging from controlling the world forces and calculating forces applied to bodies, creating destructible objects, and even creating rag-dolls.Pong styled games were fun 35 years ago, but it is time to take your game to the next level with the AndEngine for Android Game Development Cookbook.

Jeżeli chcesz tworzyć aplikacje dostarczające użytkownikom doskonałych wrażeń, jeżeli chcesz wykonywać skomplikowane zadania szybciej lub po prostu musisz jednocześnie wykonywać różne działania — naucz się korzystać z wątków. Tworzenie programów wielowątkowych jest trudne, ale opanowanie tej sztuki pozwoli Ci osiągnąć wymierne korzyści! Ta książka w całości poświęcona jest korzystaniu z wątków na platformie Android. Dzięki niej poznasz przeróżne sposoby asynchronicznego przetwarzania oraz ich zalety i wady. Jednak na samym początku zapoznasz się z podstawowymi informacjami dotyczącymi wielowątkowości w języku Java. Dowiesz się, w jaki sposób wątki komunikują się ze sobą i synchronizują dostęp do zasobów oraz jak nimi zarządzać. Kolejne rozdziały zawierają sporą dawkę wiedzy na temat różnych technik asynchronicznych. Zapoznanie się z ich treścią ułatwi Ci wybór techniki, która spełni Twoje wymagania, gdy sam zabierzesz się za tworzenie aplikacji wielowątkowej. Książka ta jest obowiązkową lekturą dla programistów chcących w pełni wykorzystać możliwości platformy Android. Podstawy wielowątkowości w Javie i systemie Android. Komunikacja wątków w obrębie procesu i pomiędzy procesami. Zastosowanie strategii redukowania ryzyka powstawania wycieków pamięci. Zarządzanie cyklem życia wątku podstawowego. Sekwencyjne uruchamianie zadań w wątku tła za pomocą klasy HandlerThread. Używanie frameworku wykonawcy Javy do kontrolowania i anulowania wątków. Obsługa wykonywania zadań w tle za pomocą klas AsyncTask oraz IntentService. Uzyskiwanie dostępu do dostawców treści za pomocą klasy AsyncQueryHandler. Używanie ładowarek do aktualizowania interfejsu użytkownika nowymi danymi. Przewodnik po świecie wątków platformy Android!

The Android OS has the largest installation base of any operating system in the world; there has never been a better time to learn Android development to write your own applications, or to make your own contributions to the open source community!This “cookbook” will make it easy for you to jump to a topic of interest and get what you need to implement the feature in your own application. If you are new to Android and learn best by “doing,” then this book will provide many topics of interest. Starting with the basics of Android development, we move on to more advanced concepts, and we’ll guide you through common tasks developers struggle to solve. The first few chapters cover the basics including Activities, Layouts, Widgets, and the Menu. From there, we cover fragments and data storage (including SQLite), device sensors, the camera, and GPS. Then we move on more advanced topics such as graphics and animation (including OpenGL), multi-threading with AsyncTask, and Internet functionality with Volley. We’ll also demonstrate Google Maps and Google Cloud Messaging (also known as Push Notifications) using the Google API Library.Finally, we’ll take a look at several online services designed especially for Android development. Take your application big-time with full Internet web services without having to become a server admin by leveraging the power of Backend as a Service (BaaS) providers.
