Back to Top 2. Introduction In this tutorial we will be walking through a small JSF demo application using MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench. Previous knowledge of JSF and/or MyEclipse is not necessary, but would be helpful. Since Struts is such a prevalent web application framework, similarities between JSF and Struts will be noted, where appropriate, to help the reader with previous Struts experience. However, if you have no prior experience with Struts, you may feel free to skip these sections . Back to Top 3.

He has developed games targeted at iOS, Android, Windows, OS X, Flash, and HTML5. He has worked on games that have had millions of gameplay sessions, and has built games for many major North American television networks. He is the games technical lead at REDspace, an award-winning interactive studio that has worked for some of the world's largest brands. They are located in Nova Scotia, Canada, and have been building awesome experiences for 15 years. Preface Developing games that can reach a wide audience can often be a serious challenge. A big part of the problem is fi guring out how to make a game that will work on a wide range of hardware and operating systems. This is where Haxe comes in. Over the course of this book, we'll look at getting started with Haxe and the HaxeFlixel game engine, build a side-scrolling shooter game that covers the core features you need to know, and prepare the game for deployment to multiple platforms. After completing this book, you will have the skills you need to start producing your own cross-platform Haxe-driven games! What this book covers Chapter 1, Getting Started, explains setting up the Haxe and HaxeFlixel development environment and doing a quick Hello World example to ensure that everything is working.

  • The Command Dispatcher Pattern Benoit Dupire and Eduardo B Fernandez {[email protected], [email protected]}
    The Command Dispatcher Pattern Benoit Dupire and Eduardo B Fernandez {[email protected], [email protected]} Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Florida Atlantic University Boca Raton, FL 33431 Can also be called: Command Evaluator Pattern. Intent This pattern increases the flexibility of applications by enabling their services to be changed, by adding, replacing or removing any command handlers at any point in time without having to modify, recompile or statically relink the application. By simulating the command-evaluation feature common in interpreted languages, this pattern supports the need for continual, incremental evolution of applications. Example Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are small, unmanned, untethered submersibles. There are numerous applications for AUVs, such as oceanographic surveys, operations in hazardous environments, underwater structure inspection and military operations. We implement the high level controller of this AUV as a Hierarchical Finite State Machine (Figure 1). A state of the Finite State Machine (FSM) represents a mode of the system, in which some tasks have to be executed, as described in the mission plan. The system takes transitions based on the results of these actions and the progression of the AUV. The system is programmed with high-level commands of the style "set depth 3" state1 state2 action 1.1 action 2.1 Figure 1: Simplified Finite State Machine for the AUV. The FSM must be able to fire any type of actions, without knowing anything about them. This problem is addressed by the Command Pattern [GOF95], which encapsulates an action as an object, thereby letting you parameterize clients with different actions.

  • Design Pattern Interview Questions
    DDEESSIIGGNN PPAATTTTEERRNN -- IINNTTEERRVVIIEEWW QQUUEESSTTIIOONNSS http://www.tutorialspoint.com/design_pattern/design_pattern_interview_questions.htm Copyright © tutorialspoint.com Dear readers, these Design Pattern Interview Questions have been designed specially to get you acquainted with the nature of questions you may encounter during your interview for the subject of Design Pattern. As per my experience good interviewers hardly plan to ask any particular question during your interview, normally questions start with some basic concept of the subject and later they continue based on further discussion and what you answer: What are Design Patterns? Design patterns represent the best practices used by experienced object-oriented software developers. Design patterns are solutions to general problems that software developers faced during software development. These solutions were obtained by trial and error by numerous software developers over quite a substantial period of time. What is Gang of Four GOF? In 1994, four authors Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides published a book titled Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software which initiated the concept of Design Pattern in Software development. These authors are collectively known as Gang of Four GOF. Name types of Design Patterns? Design patterns can be classified in three categories: Creational, Structural and Behavioral patterns. Creational Patterns - These design patterns provide a way to create objects while hiding the creation logic, rather than instantiating objects directly using new opreator. This gives program more flexibility in deciding which objects need to be created for a given use case. Structural Patterns - These design patterns concern class and object composition. Concept of inheritance is used to compose interfaces and define ways to compose objects to obtain new functionalities.
