IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale 6. Build scalable, high-performance software with IBM's data grid
Anthony Chaves
A data grid is a means of combining computing resources. Data grids provide a way to distribute object storage and add capacity on demand in the form of CPU, memory, and network resources from additional servers. All three resource types play an important role in how fast data can be processed, and how much data can be processed at once. WebSphere eXtreme Scale provides a solution to scalability issues through caching and grid technology. Working with a data grid requires new approaches to writing highly scalable software; this book covers both the practical eXtreme Scale libraries and design patterns that will help you build scalable software.Starting with a blank slate, this book assumes you don't have experience with IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale. It is a tutorial-style guide detailing the installation of WebSphere eXtreme Scale right through to using the developer libraries. It covers installation and configuration, and discusses the reasons why a data grid is a viable middleware layer. It also covers many different ways of interacting with objects in eXtreme Scale. It will also show you how to use eXtreme Scale in new projects, and integrate it with relational databases and existing applications.This book covers the ObjectMap, Entity, and Query APIs for interacting with objects in the grid. It shows client/server configurations and interactions, as well as the powerful DataGrid API. DataGrid allows us to send code into the grid, which can be run where the data lives. Equally important are the design patterns that go alongside using a data grid. This book covers the major concepts you need to know that prevent your client application from becoming a performance bottleneck. By the end of the book, you'll be able to write software using the eXtreme Scale APIs, and take advantage of a linearly scalable middleware layer.

Years ago, creating animations and single images would require a team of trained artists to accomplish. Now, iClone real time rending engine empowers its users to instantly view what is loaded into the 3D workspace or preview it as an animation, if you have the precise instructions.The iClone 3D Animation Beginner’s Guide will walk you through the building and animating of a complete scene and several one-off projects. First we create a scene with sky, terrain , water, props and other assets. Then add two characters and manipulate their features and animate their movement. We will also use particles to create the effect of a realistic torch and animate cameras to give different views to the scene. Finally we will see how to quickly import images to enhance the scene with a mountain, barn, and water tank. It will cover some fun stuff such as playing with props, characters, and other scene assets. It will also demonstrate some advanced topics such as screen resolution, formats and codecs but mostly it will deal with doing hands on animation with precise instructions.Starting with a blank project using stock and downloadable assets you will learn to lay out and animate a scene and export that scene to both a single image and a movie. The main project will demonstrate many common and undocumented techniques, while each project introduces and examines tools and techniques for successful and fun animation of ideas or scripts.Each project of the book including the main project is designed to cover the aspects of 3D animation in a manner which anyone with basic computer skills can follow. You will discover the importance of lighting a scene including daytime scenes. The concept of the timeline and key frames will be covered in detail and other topics such as rendering (exporting), character modification and prop placement all have their own sections with step by step instructions followed by an explanation of what just happened. Good animation habits and project basics are stressed throughout the book interspersed with time saving tips and techniques gained from years of experience with iClone.When you have finished The iClone 3D Animation Beginner’s Guide you will have a solid foundation in the basics of iClone by having animated a scene with multiple characters and props that involves dialog and interaction with other characters.

Jean M. Twenge
Urodzeni po 1995 roku. Dorastali z telefonem komórkowym, mieli konto na Instagramie, zanim poszli do liceum, nie pamiętają czasów sprzed internetu. Różnią się od każdego poprzedniego pokolenia. Mowa tu o jednej czwartej Amerykanów. To iGen (skrót od iGeneracji) pokolenie internetu. Właśnie nadeszło. W tej fascynującej, pełnej życia książce dr Jean Twenge maluje odkrywczy portret nowego pokolenia, które dojrzewa wolniej i wyrasta na bardziej znerwicowane ale również bardziej tolerancyjne i bezpieczne od poprzednich pokoleń. Jego przedstawiciele trzymają się z dala od pokus dla dorosłych, takich jak alkohol czy seks, ale też unikają odpowiedzialności wiążącej się z dorosłością nie śpieszy im się z nauką jazdy, wyprowadzką z domu ani z osiągnięciem finansowej samodzielności. Są otwarci i postępowi, a przy tym rozważni jak żadne wcześniejsze pokolenie młodych ludzi. Cechy i trendy charakteryzujące to pokolenie mogą wydawać się zdumiewające lub nawet sprzeczne z intuicją, ale jeśli chcemy z powodzeniem nawiązywać z nim kontakty czy to jako rodzice, pedagodzy, w pracy, czy też w relacjach handlowych musimy zrozumieć, kim są jego przedstawiciele i dlaczego zachowują się w taki a nie inny sposób. Obecne podziały pokoleniowe są głębsze i szersze niż kiedykolwiek w historii. Właśnie dlatego rodzice, pedagodzy i pracodawcy pilnie potrzebują zrozumieć dzisiejsze pokolenie nastolatków i młodych dorosłych, dopiero co wchodzące na rynek pracy. Media społecznościowe i esemesowanie wypierają inne formy rekreacji i komunikowania się iGen spędza mniej czasu z przyjaciółmi i rodziną, co może wyjaśniać niespotykany dotąd u młodych ludzi poziom lęku, depresji i samotności. Ale technologia to nie jedyna rzecz wyróżniająca tę generację. Korzystając ze swoich obszernych badań, odkrywczych wywiadów i głębokiej analizy danych zgromadzonych od ponad 11 milionów respondentów na przestrzeni kilku dekad, Twenge pokazuje, że wyjątkowość osób z tego pokolenia przejawia się również w sposobie spędzania czasu, zachowaniu, a wreszcie w zaskakującym stosunku do religii, seksualności i polityki. Całkowita dominacja smartfonów odbija się na każdej sferze życia nastolatków z iGen, od interakcji społecznych po zdrowie psychiczne. To pierwsze pokolenie, które miało nieograniczony dostęp do internetu przez cały czas. Nawet jeśli ich smartfona wyprodukował Samsung, a ich tablet to Kindle, ci młodzi ludzie nadal zaliczają się do iGen. (Również w wypadku grupy o niższych dochodach: nastolatki z uboższych środowisk spędzają w sieci tyle samo czasu, co nastolatki ze środowisk zamożnych oto kolejny efekt smartfonów). Podczas gdy ta nowa grupa młodych ludzi wkracza w dorosłość, wszyscy musimy spróbować ich zrozumieć. Ponieważ kierunek, w jakim pójdą, wyznacza kierunek naszego kraju i całego świata. Dr Jean M. Twenge Profesor psychologii na Uniwersytecie Stanowym w San Diego, jest autorką ponad 120 publikacji naukowych i dwóch książek, które napisała w oparciu o własne badania Generation Me oraz The Narcissism Epidemic, a także poradnika The Impatient Womans Guide to Getting Pregnant. Artykuły na temat jej badań pojawiały się w takich gazetach, jak Time, The Atlantic, Newsweek, The New York Times, USA TODAY i The Washington Post. Występowała również w programach telewizyjnych Today, Good Morning America, Fox and Friends oraz w radiostacji NPR. Mieszka w San Diego wraz z mężem i trzema córkami przedstawicielkami iGenu. Wszyscy pragniemy się dowiedzieć, jaki wpływ ma na nastolatków intensywne korzystanie z mediów społecznościowych. Dzięki wnikliwej analizie Jean Twenge teraz już to wiemy: sprawia, że są samotni, niespokojni i delikatni szczególnie dziewczyny. Musisz przeczytać tę fascynującą książkę, żeby zrozumieć, jak bardzo iGen różni się od milenialsów, których dopiero co zaczynałeś rozgryzać.... - Jonathan Haidt, NYU-Stern School of Business, autor Prawego umysłu Jeśli chcesz zrozumieć, jak wychowywać, uczyć, rekrutować, zatrudniać osoby urodzone w latach 1995-2012, a także jak im coś sprzedać albo jak walczyć o ich głosy, koniecznie przeczytaj tę książkę. iGen zmieni twój sposób myślenia o następnym pokoleniu młodych ludzi. - Julianna Miner, prof. ds. zdrowia publicznego, George Mason University Pełna wartościowych spostrzeżeń nieoceniona z punktu widzenia rodziców, pedagogów i liderów. Odkrycia Jean Twenge przykuwają uwagę, jej pomysły są fascynujące, a rozwiązania bezcenne. - Michele Borba, dr pedagogiki, psycholog edukacyjna i autorka książek
