Recommend a book for GUI concepts.

Hi gurus,

The subject says it all. I was never a fan of GUI programming. Always avoided. But now the BB I guess I have no choice but to dive head first into the GUI. In looking KB articles I realize I have very weak concepts of the fact that the graphical object or the Paint method and the method of layout and all that of other GUI things. Can someone recommend a good java GUI book that could help out me in the programming of BB. Something more than a book of beginner level.

Much obliged.

PS. I already beginning BlackBerry development by Anthony Rizk. Great book, but it touches just briefly on the GUI.

Agree with the last two posts.

More GUI controls keep getting included in the BONES, which can help, but only if you are targeting the current operating systems.

In my opinion, the two most useful GUI related KB articles are:

How - to implement advanced buttons, fields and managers
Article number: DB-00796
http://www.BlackBerry.com/knowledgecenterpublic/livelink.exe/fetch/2000/348583/800332/800505/800608/...

How - to create a presentation of the rich UI at TableLayoutManager
Article number: DB-00783

  • Recommendation of book for beginners

    I know the basics of Flash CS4 and would like to expand my knowledge to learn the ActionScript 3. My background is in graphic design (not math, not programming). Can anyone help with a book recommendation that could help me get started with the basics of ActionScript 3?

    It is a good book for designers.

    If you were a developer, no book would be necessary.  the flash help files do a very good job teaching as3.

  • Prepare for the new guard cert (1z1-066) data, which is best book for study of data protection?

    Hello

    I've already planned some 1z1-066 exam on the last possible day in September.

    Now, I need to start reading.

    I had once a class of oracle Data Guard like 8 years ago.

    Can someone recommend which is considered to be the best titles of book for the protection of the data.

    Thank you Roger

    I did some quick research for DG books.  There is not a lot to choose from and none of the 12 c yet.  I haven't started on my details page of Oracle Certification Prep exam for 066, so my research on this issue is minimal at best.  That said, the only books I've seen which were reasonable in all were Oracle Data Guard 11 g manual press of Oracle and Oracle Data Guard 11 GR 2 management beginner's Guide by Packt Publishing.  I have not read the books or studied the contents of a.  A warning for me on the Packt flag is that all the of the positive comments on the book seem drawn by the hair.  I've seen this before on other books from this Publisher.  They seem to have a handful of people who write glowing reviews of 5 stars from Packt books within a very short time from the date of publication. This seems misleading just for me. The press review of the Oracle by contract has several times the number of comments on a wide range of dates, and they are almost always positive.

    That said, I would like to reiterate - I have not checked the content of a.  Before I add books that do not specifically reference a review for "Third-party resources" pages on my site, I compare the Table of contents for the purposes of test to see if there is a reasonable correspondence on the matter.

    I'll try to at least a start on a details page for 066 in the coming weeks.  I'm in deep writing at the moment, but I should be able to take a break to search for documentation and articles and whitepapers for Data Guard.

  • PL/SQL 1Z0-144 recommended programming books

    Hello everyone,

    I am a student at the exam 1z0-144, and I need some suggestions on the study of materials.

    I have already downloaded the PL/SQL language reference guide and guide for certification of Matthew Morris, and I wonder if it is worth investing on one of these two books:


    • (1) oracle PL/SQL Programming with Steven Feuerstein, Bill Pribyl (he has very good reviews on Amazon)


    • (2) oracle Database 11 g PL/SQL (Oracle Press) of programming by Michael McLaughlin (there no good reviews that many readers complain about typos and redundant content)


    Otherwise, I also saw the book of programming database PL/SQL Oracle 12 c also by Michael McLaughlin.



    Thank you in advance for any suggestion

    Good luck

    Well, I have both the McLaughlin(11g) and Feuerstein (5th edition)... my Feuerstein's most lopsided of the use.  None of these review oriented but are more for learning the language. which is really what in the end you have to do more than learn the review.  McLaughlin has stuff in it that, generally at any time, I don't really have what to know.  I hesitate to recommend Mclaughim Feuerstein for versions I have if for no other reason than the police, layout and structure works better Feuerstein for me.

    Two of these books have editions came out for 12cR1 and consider later.  Get a cheap second hand earlier edition would work as well.  Earlier current on Amazon UK the last Feuerstein on kindle a little over half the price of the paperback... sometimes, I find certain books are not good on kindle etc but Feuerstein is a large piece to the basket to autour.

    Don't ignore the funnel put the concise PL/SQL expert guide on your kindle either.

    See what others say in any case.

  • Should I use Illustrator or InDesign to write a book for kids photo?

    Should I use Illustrator or InDesign to write a book for kids photo?

    We often see a question like "THAT which program should I use / should I use/not pros use. But there is here a big assumption, and it is usually a false assumption. Pros use a mix of programs to do their job. A common mixture, but certainly not the only one, is

    -Word (sometimes) to get the text without photos or page layout

    -Photoshop, to manage the photos and scanned drawings

    -Illustrator, to create original works of art on the computer

    -InDesign to ask pages and put the text, photos, analyzed together art and original works of art. (The text can be performed InDesign if there is not a lot) To apply consistent styles so the thing seems professionally produced rather than a hodgepodge.

    Each of these programs would be used to save files in an organized and systematic way until you collect things. Copy/paste is very little used.

    They are tools professional and immensely rich in functionality; and dive you are likely to commit errors which lead you in the wrong results or who need to start the project. I highly recommend investing in a serious training only in those programs, but in the entire task of modern graphic design.

  • Advice on books for learning CS3 Master Collection

    I tried to learn as much as I can of tutorials and just concepts from around the web.  I understand that I will, but think a book or two could help me as well?  I have several sites that I visit from time to time, I don't need help on that front.  Can someone give me some advice on what I should buy the literature?  I have the CS3 Master collection, and I hope to learn Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Dreamweaver and perhaps other programs related to web design.  I heard that the bible series is quite good, but since I'm still considered new I don't really know where to start.  And do not know if this is the place to ask, but as much web design is concerned, I also get a book for coding?

    Sorry if this is a topic that is requested every five seconds, but I looked around, as much as I could and it was literally my last option.  And in case anyone was wondering, I ask in this forum, because whenever I go in one program I usually end up in Photoshop, so I guess that those who know Photoshop, know as some of the other programs, also I don't really see a forum better suited to my question.  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    You'd better to buy individual books for each application.

    Some books try to have an overview of several different applications, but they only give the strict amount of information about each of them and are basically useless.

    Books like the Bible of series are extremely large (Photoshop CS3 more than 1,200 pages), but do not assume that more is automatically better.

    I think they do, some of them just to impress people looking for a book of instruction at their local bookstore.

    The Bible and a few other books include a picture CD and give instructions step by step using the provided images.

    But they do not really explain how procedures work and why you would probably using this procedure rather than another.

    They said basically that, now this, something else, etc.

    The series by Peachpit Press Quick Start Guide distributed with the intructions of step by step hand holding.

    He explains how and why to do things and has screenshots on every page to display menus and tools, as well as the de facto procedures using Photoshop.

    Only Quick Start books give complete information and are usually much more affordable, which is useful if you buy several books for different applications.

    Peachpit Press has also another series of books, their series of real world. These are bigger books but without the CD, etc.

    Over the past 20 years, I had a lot of different books, but in my opinion, Peachpit Books are the best of the bunch. Your mileage may vary.

    CS3 is old enough, I guess you're looking at Amazon or other sellers online. You might even be able to get a reduced price used books through Amazon resellers.

    Good luck.

  • My book for Mac "preparing backup".

    Hi all

    I've updated to Sierra this morning and since then my WD My Book for Mac has been slain in the backup of the preparation for about 10 hours. My backup before the upgrade went through without a problem. Is the amount of time the backup takes to be expected with the upgrade or it's just stuck in limbo?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello, Huss417!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. Congrats on the update to Mac OS Sierra! It's a great new operating system.

I know the importance of these backups and want absolutely to make your passes by. I'd be happy to help you!

  • Time Machine do not hourly backups on WD My Book for Mac new

    My 1 TB time capsule was too small for the full backup so I just bought a 6 new to WD "My Book for Mac" and have now a new back up, but it won't backup time as usual. I am running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 Can anyone who thinks that the reason for what I fear not having a reliable backup. The problem with the new hard drive external or is - a problem with EL Capitan?

    Hello Arnaud,.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that Time Machine was not back up as expected. I certainly understand how it is important to be able to back up your content. I'm happy to help you.

    There are several factors that could influence the automatic backup. Please follow the steps in the link below to fix this problem:

    If you cannot back up or restore your Mac with Time Machine

    In addition to these measures, hourly backups could be affected by your sleep Macs and power Nap settings, depending on which Mac you use. To ensure that your hourly backups are finished, set your Mac sleep to a longer period time. For testing purposes, try to set the duration of sleep at least 1 hour. You can do this in system preferences > energy saver.

    In addition, if you use a portable Mac, make sure that it is connected to power during the tests to see if hourly backups work. See the link below to view information on how Power Nap works and how it can affect Time Machine.

    How Power Nap works on your Mac

    Keep in mind, that Time Machine backs up only files that have changed since the last backup.

    Have an amazing day!

  • I SPENT HOURS AND HOURS ON A BOOK FOR MY PARENTS. NOW, IT'S GONE! MY PROJECT IS EMPTY.

    Once again, I've spent many hours much to do a book for my parents.  Find old photos of my parents, their parents and other family members.  Together with my mother long distance to get the right information on each photo and on and on.  I had two left images in ID and I when he's in MY PROJECTS with HP PHOTO CREATIONS, and my PROJECT is GONE!   I look everywhere on my hard drive and nothing.  At no time was there EVER the information provided by HP when PHOTO CREATIONS has BEEN updated to PROGRAM I'd lose all my hard work.

    I can't even begin to tell you how angry I am right now.  My mother is very sick and very probably the book will not never started all over again.  Please, I beg... if HP could help me find my project.  The name of the book was Zuhlke family.

    Furthermore I really learned to say I own portable computers HP, printers etc. that I like the quality.  I bought my care mandate (or whatever it is called and never used), but trying to be able to simply ASK a QUESTION is such an ordeal with HP.  I really have to go with another company, simply because other companies are affordable and HP is NOT. It is so you have to pass it's ridiculous.  Each new set of issues and what is the serial number and where did you purchase your article only adds to the frustration people feel already.  So by the time we can actually get to a place where a question can be asked the frustration level has increased 10 times.  Just something for you to think.
