A Practical Primer for XPages Application Development, Debugging, and Performance

 

Security and cryptography are important to most applications. It can often be difficult to know how to correctly implement these features in your applications; especially to make the implementation be easily reusable and swappable. In this course you will learn how to use the Security Application Block to cache user credentials for future use and authorize users from various sources. You will also learn how to use the Cryptography Application Block to properly secure sensitive information.

Create must-have applications for the latest Android OS

The Android OS is a popular and flexible platform for many of today's most in-demand mobile devices. This full-color guide offers you a hands-on introduction to creating Android applications for the latest mobile devices. Veteran author Wei Meng Lee accompanies each lesson with real-world examples to drive home the content he covers. Beginning with an overview of core Android features and tools, he moves at a steady pace while teaching everything you need to know to successfully develop your own Android applications.

The Caching Application Block is part of the Microsoft Enterprise Library. This block enables you to add caching to your applications that can be configured in a variety of ways. In this course we will learn the basics of the Caching Application Block, and see how to configure it to cache data with different expiration policies. We will also see how we can store that data even when our application exits through the use of backing storage. If you are considering adding caching to your application to improve performance, but don't know where to start, this block can help you get started and understand basic caching scenarios.

 

The Validation Application Block is part of the Microsoft Enterprise Library. This block makes it easy for you to add common validation to your application's classes programatically, using annotations, or via configuration. In this course, we will cover the basics of the using the block to validate entire classes quickly and easily. We will also look at ways to make validation completely configurable, as well as how to create and use custom validators. If you are constantly writing common validation code, and feel like there has to be a better way, this course will help you get there.

 

The Windows 8 Metro platform redefines the way apps access and manipulate data. In this course we learn how to work with application data, that is, working data that is created and accessed by your app on a continuous basis. Traditionally, app data has been local, but Metro blurs the distinction between local and remote data by making things such as cloud storage and app-to-app integration an integral part of both the user and developer experiences. This course looks at accessing files, local and remote, as a content source for our apps; it explores app data storage and roaming as well as the settings contract; and it takes an in-depth look at app-to-app sharing through the sharing contract. Before doing so, however, it starts with a fresh look at the UI side of things, including Metro controls and data binding. After watching this course, you should feel comfortable accessing, listing, updating, roaming and sharing data in your metro apps.
