The last couple of years have seen big changes in server-side web programming. Now it’s the client’s turn; Dojo is the toolkit to make it happen and Mastering Dojo shows you how.

Dojo is a set of client-side JavaScript tools that help you build better web applications. Dojo blurs the line between local, native applications and browser based applications; the browser becomes the user interface platform. “Modern” browsers provide an incomplete, inconvenient, and incompatible programming environment, but Dojo eliminates these problems. While there are many JavaScript libraries available, most focus on just one thing (for example, effects libraries, perceived JavaScript omissions, or HTML widgets). Dojo addresses all of these functional areas-and many others-extensively.

In Mastering Dojo, you’ll get the whole story, from basic usage to advanced idioms. Mastering Dojo starts out with a fast moving
tutorial that will give you techniques that you can start using right away. You’ll learn all about Dojo Core–the foundation on which all things Dojo stand. See how you can modularize your project for development and automatically package your release for optimal download performance. You’ll also learn how Dojo:
augments the core JavaScript library fixes the event system simplifies DOM programming provides a complete classtreeInternet Application. and grid controls. Finally, you’ll get an in-depth look at how to design and build a single-page, rich definition facility includes a powerful remote scripting (XHR) framework … and much more. You’ll love using Dojo’s HTML user interface control widget system, Dijit. See how to use over 40 widgets, including the rich yet easy-to-use

This ebook discovers new techniques for making intelligent systems applying type-2 fuzzy logic and soft computing methods. Soft Computing (SC) consists by many computing paradigms, including type-1 fuzzy logic, neural networks, and genetic algorithms, which could be applied to make powerful hybrid intelligent systems. The writers extends the use of fuzzy logic to a higher order, which is called type-2 fuzzy logic. Blending type-2 fuzzy logic with conventional SC methods, we could make powerful hybrid intelligent systems that can use the advantages that from each one method offers. We believe in this ebook the use of type-2 fuzzy logic and conventional SC methods to solve pattern identification problems in real life applications.

This ebook is intended to be a great reference book for scientists and engineers interested in implementing type-2 fuzzy logic for solving troubles in pattern identification, intelligent control, intelligent constructing, robotics and automation. This ebook can as well be applied as a textbook or great reference book for postgraduate courses like the following: soft computing, intelligent pattern identification, computer vision, applied AI, and similar ones.

Today, IT organizations are increasingly squeezed by competing demands. They must support more distributed users who demand greater availability and performance. They must protect their digital assets with far more robust security. And they must do it all while gaining far greater control over cost. Distributing IT resources increases management, hardware, and software overhead, but centralizing IT can worsen application performance. There is a solution to this quandary: Cisco application acceleration and WAN optimization technologies that permit IT to safely centralize distributed IT resources, meeting user performance expectations without replacing existing network infrastructure.
Deploying Cisco Wide Area Application Services is the first comprehensive guide to designing and deploying solutions with these Cisco technologies. Zach Seils and Joel Christner show how to deploy Cisco WAAS in a scalable, transparent, and seamless fashion that responds to both your business and technical challenges. Writing for network design and implementation engineers and other networking professionals, they cover the entire planning and configuration process. Drawing on their extensive experience implementing WAAS in the enterprise, they also offer real-world implementation examples and case studies–including full chapters on network, branch office, and data center integration.

Web applications no longer need be powered by any one individual’s data, and they don’t need to be confined to the desktop. Developers can draw on a wealth of publicly available content, from providers such as Flickr, Amazon, Google, Twitter, and Last.fm, and combine it for use in their own applications. Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) makes it simple to bring previously web-only applications to the desktop, allowing them to run alongside traditional applications on an end user’s computer.

In this book, you’ll learn how to create mashup applications from the vast array of web services, feeds, and APIs using Adobe Flash and Flex together with HTML and JavaScript (Ajax). You’ll be introduced to the various sources of information and the tools necessary to gather and reuse that information, and then you’ll learn how to combine that content in a variety of ways.

You’ll learn how to have desktop applications interact with online services such as Flickr, you’ll learn how to use Amazon S3 for enterprise-level data storage, and you’ll embrace technologies such as OpenID. In addition, you’ll create abstract visualizations based on music sourced from Last.fm and consume Twitter content via RSS. You will also see how to use the Flash-native data format SWX along with PHP to create a Yahoo! weather widget.

You’ll discover just why you may want to build a widget or a desktop application rather leaving things web-based; then you’ll create an application using Flex Builder and AIR and learn how best to distribute it. With so many tools and so much data available, the possibilities for mashup creation are endless. Creating Mashups with Adobe Flex and AIR provides all you need to get you up and running quickly, while also giving you a solid understanding of the technologies involved so you can take things further—to a place limited only by your imagination.
In this book you’ll learn

* how to use Flex 3 in conjunction with ActionScript 3.0 to build powerful applications;
* how you can use Adobe AIR to take your application from the Web and onto the
desktop;
* the differences between developing for the Web and for the desktop;
* how you can use the APIs of popular web services such as Flickr, Amazon, Google, Twitter, and Last.fm as data sources for your application; and
* how to optimize your applications for fast and efficient performance.
