Beginning Django: Web application development and deployment with Python by Rubio, DanielDiscover the Django web application framework and get started building Python-based web applications. This book takes you from the basics of Django all the way through to cutting-edge topics such as creating RESTful applications. Beginning Django also covers ancillary, but essential, development topics, including configuration settings, static resource management, logging, debugging, and email. Along with material on data access with SQL queries, you’ll have all you need to get up and running with Django 1.11 LTS, which is compatible with Python 2 and Python 3.
Once you’ve built your web application, you’ll need to be the admin, so the next part of the book covers how to enforce permission management with users and groups. This technique allows you to restrict access to URLs and content, giving you total control of your data. In addition, you’ll work with and customize the Django admin site, which provides access to a Django project’s data.
After reading and using this book, you’ll be able to build a Django application top to bottom and be ready to move on to more advanced or complex Django application development.

Beginning hybrid mobile application development by Mahesh PanhaleToday, a mobile device user prefers installed application over browsing internet; e.g. booking cab, buying movie tickets, watching you tube videos etc. Market share of mobile devices based on android, iOS & Windows Phone is considerable. Creating an installable application targeting these multiple devices involves too much of pain because of expertise required e.g. Java for android, Objective C for iOS and DotNET for Windows Phone. Shortcomings of this development approach are - more development time, it requires different expertise & involves less reusability of the code.
A solution to this problem is HTML 5, JQuery, CSS 3 based - Hybrid Mobile Applications .
These hybrid applications needs to be created once but after packaging can be deployed on multiple mobile devices like Android, iOS & Windows Phone. This kind of application development has edge over native application development.
Beginning Hybrid Mobile Application Development by Panhale can help each entity involved in mobile application development. With availability of multiple coding and packaging platforms; HMAD has even become more easy. Since HMAD happens in HTML & Javascript it's even possible that with small effort conditionally; existing web application can be converted into mobile based application. HMAD can give larger audience for many web applications by making it available as mobile application.
This book covers:
Basics of Hybrid Application Development
Platforms, Frameworks used for Hybrid Application Development
Internals of how hybrid applications work
Hybrid Application Development using available APIs
Accessing data in hybrid application
Role of JSON over XML in hybrid application
Code Security
This book will change the paradigm of mobile application development as the efforts are less, learning curve is small, success ratio is high and monetary benefit is on higher side!

Phonegap 2. X Mobile Application Development by Kerri ShottsThis book is a step-by-step guide about how to create a mobile app. Each chapter begins with the design of the user interface using wireframes as well as the data models using various diagrams. After the design, the chapter moves on to the implementation of the app, describing each block of code, including how it works and why it is needed in the context of the project. At the end of each project, various suggestions are proposed to help extend or enhance the project in order to stimulate your creativity and programming skills If you are a developer looking to create a mobile app using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, this book is for you. While this book should be approachable for anyone looking to create mobile apps using PhoneGap, you should have some degree of experience using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You should also be able to create the basic PhoneGap project in the IDE of your choice (XCode, Eclipse, or Visual Studio). Understanding Java, C#, or Objective C is not required.

Progressive Web Application Development by Example by Chris LoveLeverage the full potential of the web to make your web sites better than native applications for every platform. Key Features Explore different models and patterns required to develop progressive web applications Create applications requiring shorter runtime for attracting more users Study different projects to understand the fundamentals of progressive web applications Book Description Are you a developer that wants to create truly cross-platform user experiences with a minimal footprint, free of store restrictions and features customers want? Then you need to get to grips with Progressive Web Applications (PWAs), a perfect amalgamation of web and mobile applications with a blazing-fast response time. Progressive Web Application Development by Example helps you explore concepts of the PWA development by enabling you to develop three projects, starting with a 2048 game. In this game, you will review parts of a web manifest file and understand how a browser uses properties to define the home screen experience. You will then move on to learning how to develop and use a podcast client and be introduced to service workers. The application will demonstrate how service workers are registered and updated. In addition to this, you will review a caching API so that you have a firm understanding of how to use the cache within a service worker, and you'll discover core caching strategies and how to code them within a service worker. Finally, you will study how to build a tickets application, wherein you'll apply advanced service worker techniques, such as cache invalidation. Also, you'll learn about tools you can use to validate your applications and scaffold them for quality and consistency. By the end of the book, you will have walked through browser developer tools, node modules, and online tools for creating high-quality PWAs. What you will learn Explore the core principles of PWAs Study the three main technical requirements of PWAs Discover enhancing requirements to make PWAs transcend native apps and traditional websites Create and install PWAs on common websites with a given HTTPS as the core requirement Get acquainted with the service worker life cycle Define service worker caching patterns Apply caching strategies to three different website scenarios Implement best practices for web performance Who this book is for Progressive Web Application Development by Example is for you if you're a web developer or front-end designer who wants to ensure improved user experiences. If you are an application developer with knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, this book will help you enhance your skills in order to develop progressive web applications, the future of app development.
