The ASP.NET MVC 4 framework is used to build scalable web applications with the help of design patterns and .NET Framework. The Model-View-Controller (MVC) is a design principle which separates the components of a web application. This separation helps you to modify, develop, and test different components of a web application.ASP.NET MVC 4 Mobile App Development helps you to develop next generation applications, while guiding you to deal with the constraints the mobile web places on application development. By the end of the book, you will be well versed with all the aspects of mobile app development.ASP.NET MVC 4 Mobile App Development introduces you to developing mobile web apps using the ASP.NET MVC 4 framework. Walking you through the process of creating a homebrew recipe sharing application, this book teaches you the fundamentals and concepts relevant to developing Internet-ready mobile-enabled web apps. Through the sample application, you will learn how to secure your apps against XSS and CSRF attacks, open up your application to users using third party logins such as Google or Facebook, and how to use Razor, HTML 5, and CSS 3 to create custom views and content targeting mobile devices. Using these custom views, you will then learn how to create web apps with a native mobile device feel using jQuery mobile. By the end of the book, you will be presented with a set of challenges to prove to yourself that you now have the skills to extend your existing web applications to the mobile web or create new mobile web apps.

Associations and Correlations. Unearth the powerful insights buried in your data
Lee Baker
Associations and correlations are ways of describing how a pair of variables change together as a result of their connection. By knowing the various available techniques, you can easily and accurately discover and visualize the relationships in your data. This book begins by showing you how to classify your data into the four distinct types that you are likely to have in your dataset. Then, with easy-to-understand examples, you’ll learn when to use the various univariate and multivariate statistical tests. You’ll also discover what to do when your univariate and multivariate results do not match. As the book progresses, it describes why univariate and multivariate techniques should be used as a tag team, and also introduces you to the techniques of visualizing the story of your data. By the end of the book, you’ll know exactly how to select the most appropriate univariate and multivariate tests, and be able to use a single strategic framework to discover the true story of your data.

Astrologia chińskai księga przemian I-cing
Catherine Aubier
Astrologia chińska zrodziła się, zanim jeszcze buddyzm przyjął się w Chinach na dobre. Zakorzenienie się buddyzmu w Państwie Środka miało miejsce dopiero w piątym wieku ery chrześcijańskiej, czyli mniej więcej w tysiąc lat po dokonaniu się ziemskiej misji Buddy Gautamy. Astrologowie zaś uprawiali swą sztukę w Chinach już na dziesięć wieków przed Chrystusem. Jeśli jednak początki owej astrologii wywołały wiele sprzecznych interpretacji, to sam fakt jej uprawiania na pewno sięga czasów niepamiętnych. Mimo różnorodnych wersji istnieje jeden pewnik. W przeciwieństwie do kultury Zachodu, która wypracowała astrologię słoneczną, opartą na pozornym ruchu i zmianach położenia gwiazdy dziennej w naszym zodiaku (z miesiąca na miesiąc), Daleki Wschód stworzył koncepcję astrologii księżycowej, związaną z rocznym cyklem miesięcy księżycowych. Oto dlaczego azjatycki Nowy Rok (wietnamskie święto Tet) nie przypada nigdy w tym samym czasie. Dla astrologa zachodniego fazy Księżyca są także ważne, ale znaczą dla niego co innego, mają odmienne implikacje, nie wpisują się w ten sam kontekst i układy odniesień, jak u astrologa Wschodu. Nie wdając się w rozważania ściśle naukowe – wykraczałoby to poza cele przyświecające tej edycji – przywołajmy jedynie fakt oczywistego i wielostronnego oddziaływania Księżyca w obrębie praw fizyki na przypływy i odpływy morza, na zjawiska zachodzące w ludzkim ciele (miesiączkowanie kobiet), a także na nieodgadnione głębie ludzkiej psychiki. Termin „księżycowy” ma znaczenie dokładnie sprecyzowane, nawet kliniczne. Niedawne wyniki badań statystycznych pozwoliły, na przykład, zwrócić uwagę opinii publicznej na osobliwe narastanie gwałtów i przestępczości, łącznie z morderstwami, podczas pełni Księżyca. Z drugiej strony, skrupulatne doświadczenia przeprowadzane przez naukowców wykazały bezpośredni wpływ naszego satelity na skład chemiczny niektórych organizmów, których struktura molekularna może ulegać zmianom w zależności od tego, czy pada na nie światło księżycowe.
