]]> Hello, Android: Introducing Google’s Mobile Development Platform (Pragmatic Programmers) https://theinfosearch.com/2011/11/16/hello-android-introducing-googles-mobile-development-platform-pragmatic-programmers/ Wed, 16 Nov 2011 03:44:21 +0000 http://theinfosearch.com/?p=550 Hello, Android: Introducing Google's Mobile Development Platform (Pragmatic Programmers)

Android is a software toolkit for mobile phones, created by Google and the Open Handset Alliance. It’s inside millions of cell phones and other mobile devices, making Android a major platform for application developers. That could be your own program running on all those devices.

Within minutes, Hello, Android will get you started creating your first working application: Android’s version of “Hello, World.” From there, you’ll build up a more substantial example: an Android Sudoku game. By gradually adding features to the game, you’ll learn the basics of Android programming. You’ll also see how to build in audio and video support, add graphics using 2D and 3D OpenGL, network with web pages and web services, and store data with SQLite. You’ll also learn how to publish your applications to the Android Market.

The #1 book for learning Android is now in its third edition. Every page and example was reviewed and updated for compatibility with the latest versions. Freshly added material covers installing applications to the SD card, supporting multi-touch, and creating live wallpaper. You’ll also find plenty of real-world advice on how to support all the Android versions in use today-everything from Cupcake (Android 1.5) to FroYo (Android 2.2) and beyond.

If you’d rather be coding than reading about coding, this book is for you.

Why doesn’t your home page appear on the first page of search results, even when you query your own name? How do other web pages always appear at the top? What creates these powerful rankings? And how? The first book ever about the science of web page rankings, Google’s PageRank and Beyond supplies the answers to these and other questions and more.

]]> The Google Story: For Google’s 10th Birthday https://theinfosearch.com/2011/08/13/the-google-story-for-googles-10th-birthday/ Sat, 13 Aug 2011 14:53:21 +0000 http://theinfosearch.com/?p=382 The Google Story: For Google's 10th BirthdayMoscow-born Sergey Brin and Midwest-born Larry Page dropped out of graduate school at Stanford University to, in their own words, “change the world” through a powerful search engine that would organize every bit of information on the Web for free. The Google Story takes you deep inside the company’s wild ride from an idea that struggled for funding in 1998 to a firm that rakes in billions in profits, making Brin and Page the wealthiest young men in America. Based on scrupulous research and extraordinary access to Google, this fast-moving narrative reveals how an unorthodox management style and culture of innovation enabled a search engine to shake up Madison Avenue and Wall Street, scoop up YouTube, and battle Microsoft at every turn. Not afraid of controversy, Google is expanding in Communist China and quietly working on a searchable genetic database, initiatives that test the founders’ guiding mantra: DON’T BE EVIL.
