This book focuses less on the politics of HTML5 (though it does touch on this), and more on the ways to immediately integrate HTML5 – and its friends – into your web projects. Jeffrey Way delivers a simple guide to understanding HTML5 for the every day designer or developer. If you’re in need of a book that will get you up and running with many of the new tags, form elements, and JavaScript APIs as quickly as possible, then this is the book for you.

Decoding the iOS 6 SDK is written for intermediate iOS developers who want to quickly get up to speed with the iOS 6 SDK and all the fundamental changes that occurred to Xcode and the iOS device landscape in 2012.
Beginning iOS developers who understand the fundamentals of the SDK and Xcode will also benefit from reading this work.
The book follows a non-linear format that allows the reader to decide how much time to spend on any given topic. This is accomplished by dividing each chapter into a “Theoretical Overview” section and a “Tutorial Project” section.
While it’s certainly possible to read the entire book from cover-to-cover (we think you’ll enjoy doing so!), it’s also possible to simply read the “Theoretical Overview” of each chapter to get a high-level understanding of the iOS 6 SDK changes, and then go back and focus in on the most relevant or interesting tutorial projects on a more selective basis.
Regardless of how you approach the book, expect to learn about the most essential aspects of developing with the iOS 6 SDK, Xcode, and all the iOS devices released from Cupertino in 2012. Download eBook Free »

How do you approach answering queries when your data is stored in multiple databases that were designed independently by different people? This is first comprehensive book on data integration and is written by three of the most respected experts in the field.
This book provides an extensive introduction to the theory and concepts underlying today’s data integration techniques, with detailed, instruction for their application using concrete examples throughout to explain the concepts. Data integration is the problem of answering queries that span multiple data sources (e.g., databases, web pages). Data integration problems surface in multiple contexts, including enterprise information integration, query processing on the Web, coordination between government agencies and collaboration between scientists. In some cases, data integration is the key bottleneck to making progress in a field. Download eBook Free »

Observing the User Experience, 2nd Edition
Explains how to create usable products that are still original, creative, and unique
A valuable resource for designers, developers, project managers-anyone in a position where their work comes in direct contact with the end user.
Provides a real-world perspective on research and provides advice about how user research can be done cheaply, quickly and how results can be presented persuasively
Gives readers the tools and confidence to perform user research on their own designs and tune their software user experience to the unique needs of their product and its users
Filled with real-world experience and a wealth of practical information, this book presents a complete toolbox of techniques to help designers and developers see through the eyes of their users. It provides in-depth coverage of 13 user experience research techniques that will provide a basis for developing better products, whether they’re Web, software or mobile based. In addition, it’s written with an understanding of how software is developed in the real world, taking tight budgets, short schedules, and existing processes into account.
The gap between who designers and developers imagine their users are, and who those users really are can be the biggest problem with product development. Observing the User Experience, Second Edition: A Practitioner’s Guide to User Research will help you bridge that gap to understand what your users want and need from your product, and whether they’ll be able to use what you’ve created.
