AR and VR Using the WebXR API: Learn to Create Immersive Content with WebGL, Three.js, and A-Frame
by Rakesh BaruahGain an in-depth knowledge in immersive web development to create augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications inside web browsers using WebXR API, WebGL, Three.js, and A-Frame. This project-based book will provide the practice and portfolio content to make the most of what the futures of spatial computing and immersive technology have to offer.Beginning with technical analysis of how web browsers function, the book covers programming languages such as WebGL, JavaScript, and HTML, with an eye on a complete understanding of the WebXR lifecycle. You'll then explore how contemporary web browsers work at the code level and see how to set up a local development server and use it with the Visual Studio Code IDE to create 3D animation in the WebGL programming language. With a familiarity of the web-rendering pipeline in place, you’ll venture on to WebGL abstractions such as the Three.js JavaScript library and Mozilla’s A-Frame XR Framework, which use WebXR to create high-end visual effects. In the final projects of the book, you’ll create an augmented reality web session for an Android phone device, and create a VR scene in A-Frame (built on Three.js) to demo essential components of the WebXR API pertaining to user positioning and interaction.Game engines have become common-place for the creation of mixed reality content. However, developers not interested in learning entirely new workflows may be better suited to work within a medium almost universally open to all—the web; AR and VR Using the WebXR API will show you the way.What You'll LearnMaster the creation of virtual reality and augmented reality features for web pagePrepare to work as an immersive web developer with a portfolio of projects in sought-after technologiesReview the fundamentals of writing shaders in WebGLExperience the unity between client, server, and cloud architecture as it applies to location-based ARWho This Book Is ForAspiring immersive web developers and developers already familiar with the fundamentals of web development who want to further explore topics such as spatial computing, computer vision, spatial anchors, and cloud-computing for multi-user social experiences.

ARM® Cortex® M4 Cookbook
by Dr Mark FisherOver 50 hands-on recipes that will help you develop amazing real-time applications using GPIO, RS232, ADC, DAC, timers, audio codecs, graphics LCD, and a touch screen About This Book * This book focuses on programming embedded systems using a practical approach * Examples show how to use bitmapped graphics and manipulate digital audio to produce amazing games and other multimedia applications * The recipes in this book are written using ARM's MDK Microcontroller Development Kit which is the most comprehensive and accessible development solution Who This Book Is For This book is aimed at those with an interest in designing and programming embedded systems. These could include electrical engineers or computer programmers who want to get started with microcontroller applications using the ARM Cortex-M4 architecture in a short time frame. The book's recipes can also be used to support students learning embedded programming for the first time. Basic knowledge of programming using a high level language is essential but those familiar with other high level languages such as Python or Java should not have too much difficulty picking up the basics of embedded C programming. What You Will Learn * Use ARM's uVision MDK to configure the microcontroller run time environment (RTE), create projects and compile download and run simple programs on an evaluation board. * Use and extend device family packs to configure I/O peripherals. * Develop multimedia applications using the touchscreen and audio codec beep generator. * Configure the codec to stream digital audio and design digital filters to create amazing audio effects. * Write multi-threaded programs using ARM's real time operating system (RTOS). * Write critical sections of code in assembly language and integrate these with functions written in C. * Fix problems using ARM's debugging tool to set breakpoints and examine variables. * Port uVision projects to other open source development environments. In Detail Embedded microcontrollers are at the core of many everyday electronic devices. Electronic automotive systems rely on these devices for engine management, anti-lock brakes, in car entertainment, automatic transmission, active suspension, satellite navigation, etc. The so-called internet of things drives the market for such technology, so much so that embedded cores now represent 90% of all processor's sold. The ARM Cortex-M4 is one of the most powerful microcontrollers on the market and includes a floating point unit (FPU) which enables it to address applications. The ARM Cortex-M4 Microcontroller Cookbook provides a practical introduction to programming an embedded microcontroller architecture. This book attempts to address this through a series of recipes that develop embedded applications targeting the ARM-Cortex M4 device family. The recipes in this book have all been tested using the Keil MCBSTM32F400 board. This board includes a small graphic LCD touchscreen (320x240 pixels) that can be used to create a variety of 2D gaming applications. These motivate a younger audience and are used throughout the book to illustrate particular hardware peripherals and software concepts. C language is used predominantly throughout but one chapter is devoted to recipes involving assembly language. Programs are mostly written using ARM's free microcontroller development kit (MDK) but for those looking for open source development environments the book also shows how to configure the ARM-GNU toolchain. Some of the recipes described in the book are the basis for laboratories and assignments undertaken by undergraduates. Style and approach The ARM Cortex-M4 Cookbook is a practical guide full of hands-on recipes. It follows a step-by-step approach that allows you to find, utilize and learn ARM concepts quickly.

ASP. NET Core MVC: Training and Reference
by Joel Murach Mary DelamaterIf you know the basics of C#, you're ready to learn how to create web applications using Microsoft's powerful technology, ASP.NET Core MVC (Model-View-Controller). And there's no more practical way to do it than with this book. <p><p> By the end of section 1...just 5 chapters...you'll be developing real-world web apps using C# code for the model and controller classes...HTML, CSS, and Razor code for the view files (for the user interface)...and Bootstrap classes for responsive design so that your apps adapt well to all screen sizes. You'll also be able use the debugging tools in Visual Studio and your browser to test your apps and make sure they'll work right for all users. <p><p> In section 2, you'll build out that set of skills to create more complex controllers, work with Razor views, handle cookies and sessions, do model binding, validate data, and handle database data with EF (Entity Framework) Core. You'll also see how all these skills come together in a single application, with coverage of the gotchas that can occur and how to solve them. <p><p> Finally, in section 3, you can pick up additional skills as you need them to: create custom tag helpers and view components; authenticate and authorize users; use dependency injection to automate testing; and use Visual Studio Code. <p><p> All along the way, you'll get complete web apps that show you how each feature works in context (you can download these for free from the Murach website). You'll get chapter exercises that let you practice your new skills. And you'll get Murach's distinctive paired-pages format that presents each skill in a 2-page spread, full of examples, notes, and explanation...a format that developers praise because it saves them both training and reference time.
