Regular expressions are an extremely powerful tool for manipulating text and data. They are now standard features in a wide range of languages and popular tools, including Perl, Python, Ruby, Java, VB.NET and C# (and any language using the .NET Framework), PHP, and MySQL. If you don't use regular expressions yet, you will discover in this book a whole new world of mastery over your data. If you already use them, you'll appreciate this book's unprecedented detail and breadth of coverage. If you think you know all you need to know about regular expressions, this book is a stunning eye-opener. As this book shows, a command of regular expressions is an invaluable skill. Regular expressions allow you to code complex and subtle text processing that you never imagined could be automated. Regular expressions can save you time and aggravation. They can be used to craft elegant solutions to a wide range of problems. Once you've mastered regular expressions, they'll become an invaluable part of your toolkit. You will wonder how you ever got by without them. Yet despite their wide availability, flexibility, and unparalleled power, regular expressions are frequently underutilized. Yet what is power in the hands of an expert can be fraught with peril for the unwary. Mastering Regular Expressions will help you navigate the minefield to becoming an expert and help you optimize your use of regular expressions. Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition, now includes a full chapter devoted to PHP and its powerful and expressive suite of regular expression functions, in addition to enhanced PHP coverage in the central "core" chapters. Furthermore, this edition has been updated throughout to reflect advances in other languages, including expanded in-depth coverage of Sun's java.util.regex package, which has emerged as the standard Java regex implementation.Topics include: A comparison of features among different versions of many languages and tools How the regular expression engine works Optimization (major savings available here!) Matching just what you want, but not what you don't want Sections and chapters on individual languages Written in the lucid, entertaining tone that makes a complex, dry topic become crystal-clear to programmers, and sprinkled with solutions to complex real-world problems, Mastering Regular Expressions, Third Edition offers a wealth information that you can put to immediate use. Reviews of this new edition and the second edition: "There isn't a better (or more useful) book available on regular expressions." --Zak Greant, Managing Director, eZ Systems "A real tour-de-force of a book which not only covers the mechanics of regexes in extraordinary detail but also talks about efficiency and the use of regexes in Perl, Java, and .NET...If you use regular expressions as part of your professional work (even if you already have a good book on whatever language you're programming in) I would strongly recommend this book to you." --Dr. Chris Brown, Linux Format "The author does an outstanding job leading the reader from regex novice to master. The book is extremely easy to read and chock full of useful and relevant examples...Regular expressions are valuable tools that every developer should have in their toolbox. Mastering Regular Expressions is the definitive guide to the subject, and an outstanding resource that belongs on every programmer's bookshelf. Ten out of Ten Horseshoes." --Jason Menard, Java Ranch

Take Ruby development to the next level: leverage Ruby's full power to write more maintainable, manageable, and pleasing applications * *Master object-oriented Ruby techniques for building applications that are as easy to maintain and upgrade as they were to write! *Discover concrete solutions for common issues associated with poorly designed, hard-to-change Ruby applications. *Solves painful problems now facing many of the world's 1+ million Ruby developers, including programmers at all levels of experience. Years after the initial release of Ruby on Rails, the chickens are coming home to roost. Suddenly, anyone could write a web application -- and it seems like everyone did. The web is now awash in Ruby applications that were easy to write but are now virtually impossible to change, extend, or grow. This book solves that problem by teaching developers real-world object oriented design techniques specifically focused on Ruby. Writing for more than 1,000,000 Ruby developers at all levels of experience, Sandi Metz shares knowledge and concrete solutions for creating more extensible, more maintainable applications - and for fixing many of the poorly designed applications they must now manage. The first book to focus squarely on object-oriented Ruby application design, Practical Object Oriented Design in Ruby will guide developers to superior outcomes, even if their previous experience has been strictly limited to 'procedural' techniques. Metz distills a lifetime of conversations about object-oriented design and many years of whiteboard drawings into a set of specific Ruby practices and patterns that lead to more manageable and pleasing code. Novice Ruby programmers will find specific 'rules to live by'; intermediate Ruby programmers will find valuable principles they can flexibly interpret and apply; and advanced Ruby programmers will find a common language they can use to lead development and guide their colleagues.

Mobile devices have evolved to focus on rich media production and consumption. Developers of mobile applications are able to create applications that allow people to play, capture, and share media in a variety of new ways on mobile devices. The popularity of Android has soared in part because the platform offers developers a rich set of capabilities including access to media capturing and playback functions. Pro Android Media provides concise and clear instruction on how to utilize the media APIs made available through Android to create dynamic apps. It takes you from a simple means to gain access to the camera to complex video capture and sharing examples. It also covers sound, graphics, painting, and more—everything you need to make your app come "alive." After reading this book, the app you create will showcase the best of multimedia that Android has to offer. What you’ll learn Develop graphics, music, video and rich media apps for Android smartphones and tablets Build touchscreen input features into Android apps that allow users to draw, paint, and do other creative forms of input Turn the Android smartphone into a full fledged media player Integrate and use location-based services and media-related web service APIs Who this book is for This book is aimed primarily at the growing market of Android developers.
