Autodesk 3ds Max Techniques: The Emergence of the Architectural Film Using 3ds Max in Architectural Animation
* Using the language of filmmaking, visual effects, motion design, and architectural illustration, explore elements of pre-production such as pre-visualization and animatics
* Animation with a heavy emphasis on camera moves
* Post-production techniques including rendering, creating and using matte passes, and utilizing render passes
* The class uses a "movie-breakdown" and "shot-breakdown" approach to illustrate the various methods
* There is also some discussion of optimizing workflow with MAXScript, as well as scene and file organization

As more and more of our work is done through a web browser, and more businesses build web rather than desktop applications, users want web applications that look and feel like desktop applications.

This easy-to-use introduction to Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is ideal for developers who want to learn to build services on a company network or as part of an enterprise system.

Want to build apps for Android devices* This book is the perfect way to master the fundamentals. Written by an expert who's taught this mobile platform to hundreds of developers in large organizations, this gentle introduction shows experienced object-oriented programmers how to use Androids basic building blocks to create user interfaces, store data, connect to the network, and more.

This book explores ways of teaching that are free from determinist beliefs about ability. In a detailed critique of the practices of ability labelling and ability-focussed teaching, Learning without Limits examines the damage these practices can do to young people, teachers and the curriculum. Drawing on a research project at the University of Cambridge, the book features nine vivid case studies (from Year 1 to Year 11) that describe how teachers have developed alternative practices despite considerable pressure on them and on their schools and classrooms.

Get hands-on experience with SPARQL, the RDF query language that's become a key component of the semantic web. With this concise book, you will learn how to use the latest version of this W3C standard to retrieve and manipulate the increasing amount of public and private data available via SPARQL endpoints. Several open source and commercial tools already support SPARQL, and this introduction gets you started right away.

Begin with how to write and run simple SPARQL 1.1 queries, then dive into the language's powerful features and capabilities for manipulating the data you retrieve. Learn what you need to know to add to, update, and delete data in RDF datasets, and give web applications access to this data.

Updated for the latest database management systems including MySQL 6.0, Oracle 11g, and Microsofts SQL Server 2008 this introductory guide will get you up and running with SQL quickly.
