Neil Smyth

Sinopsis

This book is a comprehensive guide to building Android applications using Android Studio Meerkat, Jetpack Compose, and the Kotlin programming language. It is designed to provide the knowledge and skills you need to create modern Android apps using the latest development tools and frameworks.

We begin with foundational steps, including setting up an Android Studio development environment, followed by a detailed introduction to Kotlin, the language underpinning Android development. This section covers core aspects of Kotlin, such as data types, operators, control flow, functions, lambdas, and coroutines, establishing a strong basis in object-oriented programming principles.

Next, we cover Jetpack Compose, Google’s innovative toolkit for building native user interfaces, including an in-depth look at Compose components and layout structures, including rows, columns, boxes, flows, pagers, and lists. You’ll also gain insights into Android project architecture and Android Studio’s Compose development mode.

Advanced topics are also covered, including state management, modifiers, and navigation components. You will also learn how to create reusable layout components, implement biometric authentication for enhanced security, and accelerate development with Gemini AI.

The guide also covers specialized techniques such as graphics rendering, animations, transitions, Kotlin Flows, and gesture handling. Practical data management solutions, including view models, Room database access, live data, and the Database Inspector, are explored in detail. For those interested in monetization, there is a dedicated section on implementing in-app billing.

The final chapters provide a comprehensive overview of app packaging and the Google Play App Store publication process. Throughout the book, each concept is reinforced with hands-on tutorials and downloadable source code. Additionally, over 55 online quizzes are available to test your knowledge and understanding.

The Driving Machine - A Design...

Witold Rybczynski

In this lively and entertaining work, Witold Rybczynski—hailed as "one of the best writers on design working today" by Publishers Weekly—tells the story of the most distinctive cars in history and the artists, engineers, dreamers, and gearheads who created them. Delving into more than 170 years of ingenuity in design, technology, and engineering, he takes us from Carl Benz's three-wheel motorcar in 1855 to the present-day shift to electric cars. Along the way, he looks at the emergence of mass production with Henry Ford's Model T; the Golden Age of American car design and the rise of car culture; postwar European subcompacts typified by the Mini Cooper; and the long tradition of the streamlined and elegant sports car. 
 
 
 
Rybczynski explores how cars have been reflections of national character (the charming Italian Fiat Cinquecento), icons of a subculture (the VW bus for American hippies), and even emblems of an era (the practical Chrysler minivan). He explains key developments in automotive technology, including the electric starter, rack-and-pinion steering, and disc brakes, bringing to light how the modern automobile is the result of more than a century of trial and error. And he weaves in charming accounts of the many cars he's owned and driven, starting with his first—the iconic Volkswagen Beetle. The Driving Machine is a fascinating history of design.
